Our BRASS BED Section shows a
great improvement over the efforts of
last seasons manufacturers. The new
construction overcomes the tendency
of a bed of this character to work
loose or rattle, caused by loose joints.
The assortment which we carry ofthis
class of goods makes it impossible for
us not to satisfy any customer, no mat

all grades which range in price from
$4,000 down to $500.
The $500 bed is the cheapest brass

Two torpedo destroyers were off

M. Bleriot has for several years

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor In Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:

ferent foods on patients. My own lit.

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 it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so / started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave 1t 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.
IAN 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
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaim ed
when came next day Why doctor l
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 1t for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out 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.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric lie
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 Its great
er strength than other makes.

Personal Apparel Stolen.
Special to Times Republican.
Newton, Sept. 23.-The residence on
the farm Of Lynn Robb, six miles
north of this place, was entered about
IL o'clock yesterday morning, during
the absence of the family, and articles
valued at $50 or $40 stolen.
The property taken was such as
would be used by man who was look
ing for personal adornment and con-
sisted of a suit Of clothes, some other
clothing, a gold watch, gold fob a ring,
tie pin, a locket, number of small
toilet articles, including face cream and
tooth brush, suit case and a razor.
Mrs. Robb is visiting in Maryland.
and at the time of the robbery Mr.
Robb was at work in the field. Peo-
pie residing in the vicinity, however,
noticed young man coming from the
house about the hour Indicated, and
as the result of the description of the
party furnished the officers, young
man, named Martin Geipe, was arrest
ed last night, charged with the crime.
Geipe. who is 19 or 20 years of age,
is a relative of Mrs. Robb and visited
at the Robb home last week. He re-
sides in Baltimore, Md, and has been
in this vicinity but short time. When
arrested he was dressed entirely diff
ferent than was the man seen coming
from the house, but when officers
searched his room, they found clothing
that filled the description Of that fur
nished by Robb's neighbors. A number
of letters and cards We're also found,
some of which indicate, it is said, that
Geipe has been in Jail before.
Geipe denies committing the robbery
and claims to be able to prove an
alibi. declaring he was in Newton at
the time the crime was committed. The
preliminary examination was set for 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. The specific
charge is larceny from a building in
the day time.
