We spend o6 hours to prepare Map1-F1ake,
vet faxed foods can be made in one-fourth OF
that time.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours
cooked in pure maple syrup. Then 1t IS cured
for days.
Then each separate berry is faxed as thin as
paper, SO the full heat Of our ovens can pene-
trate btf.
Then those thin fakes are toasted 80 minutes
in heat of 400 degrees
That long process is necessary to perfect d.
gestion. Every food expert knows this.
The particles must be separated, by heat and
BY cooking, so the digestive juices can get to
them.
Otherwise half of the food is wasted 1t fer
ments and irritates the stomach lining.
Even mere economy demands Mapl-F1ake
the one food that all food-the food that will
all digest.
To make the best food most delicious, we cook
the wheat in pure maple syrup.
We do this to make the flavor enticing, so chill
'dren will want it. You don't need to urge them
to eat it.
IF YOU serve them afterward an inferior food,
they'll urge you back to this.
It is we'll to have it so. For no other cereal

OHIO COUNTY IS
SOLLDLY LINED. UP
Nomination Of GIasscock for
Governor Ends fractional
Fight There.

WHEELING, Sept. 2s-Perhaps
there was no county in the state
where the late complications that ex-
listed in, the Republican party were
SO pronounced as in Ohio, and where,
at one time the differences seemed to
be hopeless Of settlement. Since
the nomination of Hon. W. E. Glass
cock, however, and the elimination
of both Mr.. Swisher and Mr.. Scherr,
the opposing elements have swung
into line for the new candidate for
governor, which promises a solid line
up OF the party strength for the en-
tire state ticket. Many Republicans
who had announced their intention
of voting for the Democratic candi-
date for governor have openly ex-
pressed themselves as being satisfied
with the selection of Mr.. Glasscock,
and will not only vote for him but
get out and work for his success at
the polls.
Naturally the frank and opel sup
port that the Intelligencer is giving to
Mr.. Glasscock, has had much to do
with the peace and unanimity that has
been restored to the once distracted
rank and file of the Republicans of
Wheeling and Ohio county. If the
nomination Of Mr.. Glasscock has ac-
complished this in this section OF the
state there can be no question about
the solidification of the party in other
communities where the distractions
OF .factional differences have not been
so pronounced and complicated as
they were in Ohio county.
One of the most prominent Repub-
licans in this city. and who was op.
posed to both of the former contend
ing candidates for governor said to-
day there was no question about the
entire acceptability OF Hon. w. e.
Glasscock as the Republican nominee
for governorA 81 state this" ssid
this gentleman, because l know 1t
to be the truth, and for the reason We
all know his record as faithful and
honest supporter of the party princi-
pies in this state as enunciated in the
several platforms of 1900 and 1904.
1t was the policies set forth in the
platforms upon which White and
Dawson were elected and which So
cured the most substantial victories
for the Republicans in West Virginia.
There was no stronger champion Of
the tax reform laws which have been
written into our statutes than the
Hon. William E. Glasscock. We
know that he is safe on that ques-
ton, and will do everything in his
power to preserve the integrity of the
new, tax laws inaugurated by the Re-
publican party. The Democrats have
attacked these measures, and If given
the power will do their best to ,nullify
their operation IL not totally destroy
them. That is why we are strong
for Glasscock in Ohio comfy, and that
is one of the reasons why the Repub-
licans of the northern panhandle Wall
rally to his support as one man and
work for his election. y"
