SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach / would wish l never had to
eat anything.

since using it l do not have to starve
myself any more, but / can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fled, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and l am now strong and we'll.
"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it.

the great nourishing elements In
Grape-Nuts."

1t is pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"a feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in it's
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what.
ever part of the route was most con.
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether. or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild-
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 2650 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver of the White tc
have even frightened bolt withou
the fact being noted and penalty in

amount of fuel used on the tyfE
showed that kerosene Is at leasf
fifteen per cent. more efficient, galSdcr
for gallon, than gasoline. The car fE
other respects made most creditaSse
showing, and there was the usual rfeA
airy among the observers to be az
signed to the White SO that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re.
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubEt-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not In
fiicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer Is that
either kerosene or gasoline may he
used as fuel. The, necessary adjust
ments SO that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or Vice
versa, may be made in couple az
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it 10

without notice to the President OF

Now I will ask if any fair-minded
man can with candor claim that the
Directors had any option as to their
course. Mr.. Chappell's action rem
dered his policy null and void, and
the Directors were obliged to declare
the fact.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you call this a
technicaity. call it the the law.
The plain terms of the contract were
violated by MT. Chappell, and if the
Directors had adopted your opinion
it would nevertheless have been a vio-
lation Of the law.
Any member Of the Association
could properly have declined to pay
the assessment, and without power
to enforce an assessment the asocia-
ton would be worthless. We have
the assurance that the Farmers Au-
tual is now the best in the country.
It is accomplishing much good to
people Of the county. It was made
efficient and must be maintained by
wise management and obedience to
the law.

MR.. CHAPPELL'S LOSS.
MIR. Jos. L. Keitt Says Directors
-. Have Only Followed the
...... Law.

Editor Herald and News:
Ny attention has been called to
the following editorial language in
your issue Of the 18th inst:
"Those members Of the Farmers
Mutual who have spoken in refer
enee to Mr.. Chappell's loss take the
right position. If this is a mutual
association it should not avoid the
payment Of a loss, such as this, by a
technicality. In fact We do not be-
lie7e the Courts would sustain such
a position if the matter were carried
into Court" I have read the article
Of Messrs. Henderson in The Herald
and News and that Of Messrs. J. c..
Neal and W. E. Wallace in the OBJ
server. They are members Of the
Farmers Mutual. I do not under
stand that they criticise the action
Of the Directors, but recognize the
legality Of the action taken, and ex-
press a desire to relieve Mr.. Chap
peI by voluntary assessment. No
exception can be taken to their ex-
pressions OF sympathy for Mr.. Chap
.pell, but I assume that the Secretary
and Treasurer of the Association Will
not permit sympathy to control the
business management Of the Asso-
citation, which to-day tands at the
head Of mutual insurance associations
in the country, because Of good bus
mess management.
Your language, Mr.. Editor, is a
distinct charge that the Directors
acted unjustly in declining to pay the
loss Of Mr.. Chappell. AS one Of the
Directors present when the claim Of
Mr.. Chappell was considered I will
say that I did not observe any ami
mus except that Of sympathy. The
report stated that Mr.. Ohappell had
taken out additional insurance to an
amount exceeding his insurance IN
the Farmers Mutual. The President
and Agent each declared that no no
tiee of additional insurance had been
given to them. The following is an
exact copy of paragraph printed on
the face Of the policy:
"7. That if the insured shall take
out additional insurance on any Of
tie within described property, or
goods within such buildings without
the consent Of both the President and
Agent Of this Association, this poll.
cy shall be null and void.''
