Clay to Be Tested.

Lawrence.-An extensive movement
for the purpose of developing the clay
industry of Kansas is to be begun this
summer, under the direction of Prof.
E. Haworth, head of the geological de-
partment. A special appropriation
has been made for this work. and the
work of investigation as to the extent
and kind of clay deposits IN the state
will occupy an entire year. A party
of biologists will leave the university
in a few days to visit in several sec
tons of the state for the purpose OF
determining where the most extensive
clay deposits are located
A large kiln for the burning of the
clay is to be erected at the university
and samples are to be shipped in from
all over the state and tested to find
their commercial value. A class is
also to be organized in the fine arts
school for the purpose of making all
kinds of artistic models out of the
clay Prof. Haworth is convinced
that ceramic industries can be made
one of the greatest resources of the
state with the proper encourage

Moves to ArmourdaIe.

Atchison.-The main offices and the
entire plant of the Uncle Sam Oil com
pany may be removed from Atchison
TO Armourdale. The company has Sc
cured an option on a tract of land
containing about ten acres on 18th
street in Armourdale which will eX-
pire in sixty days. General Manager
Goebel, in commenting upon the re-
port, said that steps had been taken
to remove the plant, for the reason
that the condition of the road from
the refinery to Atchison is bad and
the accumulation of demurrage on the
ears at the switch near the refinery
is such a big item of expense that the
company cannot afford to do bust
ness under such circumstances.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers so l started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish. that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
AAHlHSOAdlSAy put MIN on GTdpS-
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when 1 came next day why doctor 1
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two He got
entirely well in spite OF his almost
hopeless condition He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.
Il could quote list of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders"

COSTLY prize OFFERED.
w. X. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich,
Gives $1,000 Trophy to. Be Com
Peted for by the Farmers.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July 2s-For
the purpose of stimulating the interest of
the farmers of the country In the i'm
provement of the grade OF corn and in Sc
curing greater yield, W. X. Kellogg of
this city has offered a gold and silver
trophy to be competed for at the third
annual national corn exposition to be held
at Omaha, Neb., Dec. 6 to Is of this year.
The trophy will be known as the w. X.
Kellogg National Corn Exposition trophy,
will cost $1,000, and will become the per-
sonal property of any exhibitor winning it
twice The trophy will be. in the shape
OF 4 massive vase, and will probably be
designed and built by either Gorham or
Tiffany.
Mr.. Kellogg has Just returned from Chi
cago where he held conference with Pro
fessor p. G. Holden of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural College at Ames, and Stanley
Clague, head of large Chicago advertis-
ing agency. Professor Holden is known as
the foremost authority of the country on
corn growing, and Mr.. Kellogg, who is a
large manufacturer of food products made
from corn, Is keenly interested in all move
ments tending to improve the quality of
the cereal This year he has donated
81 600 to be divided in several prizes
among the corn growers of Iowa, and at
Professor Holden's suggestion, he decided
to offer the Kellogg trophy to be competed
Tor by the corn growers of the nation.
Corn is the greatest crop of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Kellogg today, "and the big
ger the yield of corn the greater the coun-
try's prosperity. Seed selection and i'm
proved methods of cultivation will not only
greatly increase the yield per acre, but will
also increase the protein in the corn and
thus enhance its nutritious qualities. If
the yield per acre, for instance, can be in
creased FIVE bushels in the state of Ne
braska alone, it will add $25, 000, 600 to the
wealth of the farmers of the state. The
National Corn Exposition is doing n great
work in educating the farmers, and L am
glad to help the work along"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and f1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

cuticura's Efficacy Clearly Proven

when about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first 1 noticed
was little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the e.uptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
OF them. 1 had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then 1 bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.
