We cook our wheat in pure Maple syrup just
for the children's' sake.
They like Maple sugar better than anything
else that is good for them.
So we use it to please them. To induce them
to prefer the best food hey can eat
1t is rather expensive, but it is wise-for you,
for them, for us.
There is no food like wheat
Other cereals may be used, for little time,
for variety But the staple is always wheat.
Whole wheat alone contains all the needed
food elements in properly balanced form.
So we use for Mapl-Flake the finest wheat
in America.
But wheat must be cooked-cooked more than
the usual-else it is half indigestible.
The atoms must be separated-by fierce
heat-so the digestive juices can get to them.
Not half the wheat that people eat is subject
to digestion.
The balance is wasted. 1t ferments and forms
gas. 1t leads to digestive disorders.
That's why we spend full 90 hours in prepar-
ing Mapl-Flake.
We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Think
of that
Then we cure it for days-a partial digestive
process.
Then each separate berry is faxed so thin that
the full heat of our ovens can attack every atom.

That's why Mapl-Flake is the best food

1t is because OF our process.
1t is nothing but whole wheat cooked with
pure Maple syrup.
But it is wheat made digestible. Wheat in a
form that is new to you. food that's all food.
You will never again use other faxed foods
even though they seem cheaper-after you try

lying on the bed with a revolver
cutched in his right hand, a bullet hoe
in his right temple. from which death
was probably instantaneous.
No reason can be given for the
rash act as his business so far as is
known was In the very best of condi
tion, he had no known troubles. and
he left no word of any kind that could
be construed to give Il reason for 50
rash an action. Marion is stirred up
as she never has been before in her
history, as Mr.. Wilson numbered his
friends in the city simply by his ac-
quaintances. as every one who knew
him was considered a personal friend.
He had been in business in this city
for several years and his drug business
was the leading one of Marion.

brought to the attention of the court
the men waived preliminary hearing
and were bound over to the grand jury

in the case decided to change the
charge to petty larceny, as it was

Chemist Wiley of that department deny
the rumors of strained relations be-

which will result in his withdrawal.
The secretary and DR.. Wiley have not
been able to agree at all times, but
their differences have been honest ones
of opinion. In several instances appeals
have been taken to the president by
DR.. Wiley when overruled by his SUI

was vindicated on appeal. Secretary
Wilson says that the report on the use
of benzoate of soda as a preservative,,

take, and that he is completely salts
fed, after investigation, that the error

Fort Dodge, Dec. S0.--"Dan Stager
never wronged man, woman or child,
his path led thru the depths of hell
was the hysterical remark of Mrs.
city, some months ago. when her nus
band was arrested at Waterloo in com
ious woman of that city, charged with
a serious crime on the person of the
this morning, her eyes filled with tears
and her voice shaking with sobs. she
entered the police station and asked the
assistance of the officers in locating
him, he having sold all of the family
furniture and suddenly departed from
the city, leaving her and her little
children in destitute circumstances.
A few years ago, Stager was bar
her in Fort Dodge. He was first class
workman, and man who had many
friends, and here he met and married
his wife. a girl from one of the best
families in the city, and, one who was
held in high esteem personally. Soon
after their marriage they removed to
Waterloo, where the husband purchased
a barber shop, and for time appeared
to be doing a good business. Being a
man who INDUCED slightly in the flow
ing bowl, and naturally of a weak dis
position, he met evil companions and
soon Travelled the downward pace at
rapid rate. About a year ago. and dur
ing the visit of Mrs. Stager to her par
ents' home in this city. he was ar
rested in company with Dollie Graham.
a notorious waterloo woman. and Bob
Canada, colored man, being charged
with rape on the person of the ID
year-old sister of the Graham woman.
He was indicted by the grand jury at
Waterloo, but the evidence was consid-
cred weak and he escaped punish
ment.
Thru all Of the trouble Mrs. Stager
stood by his side faithfully, and it was
mainly thru her efforts and resulting
sympathy, it is alleged, that he escaped
punishment for the crime with which
he was charged, and which, it is al
legged was committed during a drunk
en- debauch. and following his acquittal,
in the belief he would be better able
to resist temptations amid different
surroundings, Mrs. Stager induced her
husband to come to Fort Dodge.
Months passed, and apparently Dan
Stager was making a valiant fight to
live down his past, but a day or two
prior to Christmas he met a salesman
for barber supply house, and num-
Der of glasses of Christmas cheer were
OF. The men continued their
drinking, and on Christmas morning,
unable longer to endure the orgies,
Mrs. Stager went ito the home of her
parents to spend the day. On returning
home, she discovered that he had dis
posed of all of the household goods,
and had departed from the city. Later
led the woman to be-
lieve that he had fled to Minneapolis,
and she called at the police station and
placed the matter in the hands of the
officers. A warrant will be issued
charging him with wife desertion.
