BRAIN POW Err
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a fam
lily, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children. She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as regular diet. for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them
unable to eat breakfast l felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies.
doughnuts or anything l happened to
fnd. Being writer, at times my
head felt heavy and my brain asleep
When read Of Grape-Nuts l began
eating it every morning, also gave ii
to the children, including my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
II wrote evenings and feeling the
need of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer of Grape-Nuts
with milk, instead of my usual indi.
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night.
Il grew plump, nerves strong, and
when wrote my brain was active and
clear; indeed, the dull head pain never
returned"

REDUCING THE STATE DEBT.
State Treasurer Brian Calls In State
Warrants.

State Treasurer Brian will call in
S1550O of state warrants and thereby
reduce the state debt to $99S,OOO This
is the first time the debt has been
below one million dollars within the
memory of the oldest watchdog of
the treasury. The oldest book now
kept in the state auditors office
shows that the debt was $1,5OO,OOO in
1907, and it has not since been less.
The state treasurer will not have to
wait on people to walk to the state
house to present the warrants called
in or for the receipt of them by mail,
He can turn to the vault and lay his
his hand on them any time, They
are owned by the state, having been
bought as an investment for the
school fund. The interest on the war
rants is paid by the state to itself and
will go into the temporary school fund
for the distribution semi-annually to
aid school districts.

AS TO scARlEs IN CATTLE.
State Veterinarian Asking Information
of Cattlemen.

OF OdItIemeH'
Upon the recommendation of Gov
ernor Sheldon State Veterinarian Nc
Kim has issued a letter to be mailed
to all cattle dealers east of the line
of the recent quarantine proclama-
ton asking for information regarding
the scabies in cattle. The letter sets
out that both Governor Sheldon and
the state veterinarian have given
much time and study to the question
of wiping out the scabes which has
infested cattle of Nebraska more or
less for a number of years, and now
they are anxious to get some detailed
information on the subject. To each
of the men who raise or deal in cattle
in the eastern section of the state are
submitted a number of questions
which they are requested to answer
Among the questions are the follow
ing;
How many cattle have you? Were
cattle inspected in the feed lot or pas
ture? Whether any more of the herd
have become infected? How many Of
your cattle are infected? Were in
fected cattle bought in the vicinity
of your home? OF whom were they
bought? What are the dipping ia
cilities in your county? Other ques-
lions along the same lines were asked
and blank space left for any remarks
the cattle men might care to make
Each of the persons to whom letters
have been addressed have had cattle
inspected and pronounced unclean.

AS they approached the Office the
crowd of men around the doorway
drew aside to let them pass.
Our chances of worming ourselves
through that jam seem pretty slim

the already overcrowded room.

Paul Langford, as he separated him

In front, and came up to them.

flashing a merry smile at Mary as he
began showing his big shoulders
through the press, closely followed
by the two young women.
1t was a strange assembly through
which they pressed; ranchmen and
cowboys, most of them, just in from
ranch and range, hot and dusty from
long riding, perspiring freely redolent
of strong tobacco and the peculiar
smell that betokens recent and init
mate conpanionship with that part
and parcel of the plains, the horse,
The room was indeed hot and close
and reeking with bad odors. There
were also present large delegation
of cattle dealers and saloon men from
Velpen, and some few Indians from
Rosebud agency, whose curiosity was

cerned, far from picturesque in their

Yet they we're kindly, most of the
men gathered there. Though at first
they refused, with stolid resentment
to be thus thrust aside by the breezy
and aggressive owner of the Three
Bars, planting their feet the more
firmly on the rough, uneven floor, and
serenely oblivlous to any right of way
so arrogantly demanded by the bis
shoulders, yet, when they perceived
for whom they way was being made
most of them stepped hastily aside
with muttered and abashed apologies
Here and there. however, though al
made way, there would be no red
faced or stammering apology. Some
times the little party was followed
by insolent eyes, sometimes by malig
nant ones. Had Mary winston spok

STATE PRINTERY FOR NEBRASKA
Possibility Of the Establishment OF
Such an Institution.


Lincoln--A statement made to Gov
ernor G. l.. Sheldon, who returned
from a trip to Topeka, where he was
the guest of Governor Hoch may lead
to the establishment of a state print
cry.
The statement was made by the
manager of the Kansas state printing
department that the department had
saved Kansas $4,000 in the last two
years and that the saving of third
year would pay for the plant. The
plant is up-to-date and contains every
piece of machinery necessary for state
printing. In one respect only has the
neighbor state an advantage, and that
is in coal bills, Kansas coal being
mined by convicts.
1t was stated, without an attempt
at definite figures, that Nebraska's
printing bill, including the state uni
versity, the capital and the state in
situations, exceeds 100000 per an
mum.

the source was only blocked with

running dry. He could not help
thinking that a girl who cries be

better stay at home and leave the
grave things which are mems work &c

not hesitate to kill either Paul Lang

also many good people who think Mr.
Gordon is just stirring up trouble ant

CHAPTER VII.
The Preliminary.

Very early in the morning of the
day set for the preliminary hearing of
Jesse Black the young owner of the
Three Bars rode over to Velpen. He
identified and claimed the animal
held over from shipment by Jim's per-
suasion. Brown gave possession with
a rueful countenance.
First time Billy Brown ever was
taken in" he said, with great disgust.
Langford met with no interruption
to his journey, either going or coming,
although that good cow-puncher of his,
Jim Munson, had warned him to look
sharp to his pistols and mind the
bridge. Jim being Of somewhat
belligerent turn of mind, his boss had
not taken the words with seriousness.
AS for the fracas at the pontoon, cow
men are touchy when 1t comes to a
question of precedence, and it might
well be that the inflammable Jim had
brought the sudden storm down on his
head. Paul Langford rode through
the sweet early summer air without
let or hindrance and looking for none.
He was jubilant. Now was Willis
tons story verified. The county at
torney, Richard Gordon, had consid-
cred Williston's story, coupled with
his reputation for strict honesty,
strong and sufficient enough to bind
Jesse Black over to appear at the
next regular term of the circuit court
Under ordinary circumstances the

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nervebuilding
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way we prepare the food
makes 1t easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book ON
1.-THE Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
THE gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by it's own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-f1uid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man. and
the blessings it has already conferred
| on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
| from attending to sick children or en-
pertaining company, take it and note
| how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-f1uid,
and that deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end Of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply deficiencies-this is the only law
of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.
