TOPEKA RANKS LOW.
Milk Sold Here Is About Worst in the
State.

The milk sold on the Topeka
market is about the worst in the state,
according to the meteorological
examinations made by the State uni
yersity experts for the state pure
fond department.
The bacteria counts" show that
Topeka milk is reeking with
bacteria of various kinds. The
maximum number of bacteria per
cubic centimeter which healthful
milk should contain is from $4,000 to
100000. Milk for infants should
not contain over 10000. But of IA
samples of Topeka milk, bought on
the open market. the lowest was 620,-
600 bacteria. The highest was g.
100000. There were also samples
which showed 66,00o,00O and
40.000,O0O.
Two samples of Topeka milk de-
livered in glass bottles, were tested.
One showed 2,42O,0OO bacteria. and
the other 100000 per cubic
centimeter.
Kansas City, Kan, has some pretty
bad milk, but it isn't up to Topeka.
The highest bacteria count there was
4SOOO,OOO, with 34,000,000 second and
100000 third. There were six
samples in Kansas City which went
under 100000. One sample was
less than 10000.

EYE TROUBLES
CAUSED by Improper Food.

Most people would never think of
connecting eye disease with the food
every part of the body-every organ
is nourished by the blood and the
blood is made of the food we eat, it
seems reasonable to trace even eye
troubles to food.
A N. Y. man had an interesting eX-
perience at one of the great hospitals
in that city that may benefit persons
who have chronic eye trouble. He
writes:
Four years ago 1 was stricken with
an eye trouble. After being unsuccess-
fully treated by several physicians and
occulists, went to a noted New York
hospital
"On examination they pronounced
my case iritis Inflammation of the
iris), caused by poor blood on account
of improper assimilation of food.
''They had to operate on my right
eye, keeping me in a dark room and
on a strict diet for several weeks.
When leaving, the doctor cautioned
rne in regard to saving the other eye,
saying that I must be temperate as to
my diet and use neither tea nor coffee.
"I told him it would be almost i'm
possible for me to get and live on
what they had given me at the hos
pital. He replied: Tt is not neces-
sary. As an official here 1 can not
recommend any private brand of food
or drink. AS friend 1 advise you to
try Grape-Nuts, discard all fatty,
heating foods as much as possible,
especially in the morning
This advice have followed, except
ing a few times when 1 have grown
careless, but danger signals always
come. such as specks and blots before
my eyes and some Inflammation. You
may be certain I go back to what my
doctor advised-Grape-Nuts There's

Interesting Exhibition at the
Topeka Auditorium.

Commencing early this morning the
farmer boys of Shawnee county came
in loads to the city with their prize
corn neatly wrapped and packed in a
safe place beneath the wagon seat or
even held tightly in the hands of the
candidate who priced his treasures
far more than dog owners who bring
their animals to the kennel show in
palace like boxes and the chicken low
ers who carry their pets to the poultry
show. And they have reason for all
of this as who would not admit that
good old Kansas corn is far more val
uable than blanket covered dogs or
table fed chickens both of whom
have more manners than worth.
The contest at the auditorium is
open to all the boys of Shawnee coun-
ty and over 200 of them were there
this morning following the judges
around and listening with anxiety the
judgments placed upon their well
watched corn results. The scientific
corn raising includes three more i'm
portant elements-proper scientific
time, methods of suitable cultivation
and the careful selection of the ears at
the right time of the year. From the
looks of the corn at the auditorium
today all of these rules have been dill
gently needed and to be a judge of
such corn is a task for no amateur.
AS a result of this mornings judg-
ing the following lucky boys received
the prizes:
