STATE HAS MONEY
Treasury Holds 100000 More
than Same Time Year Ago
ALL FUNDS IN GOOD SHAPE
Increased Levy, Increased Valuation
OF Property, and Larger Receipts
from Inheritance Taxes Main
Causes for Improvement.

Des Moines, Aug. THE state Of
Iowa is worth nearly 100000 more
than it was this time last year. On
Aug. 4, 1908, the general revenue on
hand amounted to $345,240, while at
the same time this year it was 1851, :
912.
The increased levy, increased valu.
alton of property and larger receipts
from collateral inheritance taxes are
the principal causes for the improve
ment in the states financial condi-
ton, according to Treasurer Morrow.
Deputy Willis said that it is not
likely that the states resources will
reach such a low ebb for years as
they did during the fall of 1907. The
hard times of that year caused every
body who had money coming from
the state to draw it, and as a result
the last quarter of 1907 shows the
largest disbursements of any similar
period In the history Of the state. A
total Of $1,093,000 was paid out dur
Ing these three months. During the
last quarter of 1908 the disbursements
reached $980,000 and in 1906 they
amounted to $9S2,OO0.

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILs.
And Suffered Annually with a Red
Scald-Like Hunor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
| used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW
cred. The humor looked like scald,
very red with sticky, clear fluid com
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. / always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out 1t became so bad that was dis
couraged. But continued the use of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation oil
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer | was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore / could hardly move about. This
kept up until was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although I had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that I could eat
1t without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 l kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my, mind felt light and clear; TIE
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gethcr | felt as If / had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and l went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day am new woman in mind
as well as body, and ! owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape.Nuts.'
