a Nebr woman has outlined the

from personal experience. She writes:
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts. cannot say enough in
its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods, but we invaria-
bly, returned to Grape-Nuts as the
most palatable, economical and nour-
ishing of all.

After using Grape-Nuts a short
time Ibegan to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared, and now

have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble. even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when
all else failed.
Grape-Nuts food las saved doctor

RICE FIELDS OF TEXAS.

Japanese Farmers Making Fortune,
Growing the Cereal.
Rice threshing has been going on il
Texas for the last two months and now
is practically finished. The crop il
confined to the upper Gulf coast re
gion and is comparatively new indus.
try 1t Is comparatively estimated thai
the rice yield in the state this year is
approximately 100000 sacks. Each
sack contains four bushels. The United
States production of rice last year was
insufficient to meet the home demand
and 100000 sacks were imported. The
Texas crop this season was unusually
good. The yield upon some of the
plantations ran from fifteen to twenty
sacks an acre. 1t is said that the aver.
age cost Of production is a little more
than 81 a sack.
The Japanese are the most thrifty
rice growers in Texas. There are sew
eral colonies OF these planters in the
Gulf coast region of the state. One of
the largest is at Webster Another
colony is at Deep water, about sir
miles from Webster. These Japanese
give much more attention to the crop
than the average American planter,
and as q result they obtain twice the
yield. Many OF the Japanese rice
planters in the Gulf coast region OBJ

rels of rice an acre this season.
Instead of planting several hundreds
or thousands of acres In rice as is
done by most of the American plant
ers the Japanese grower confines his
operations to comparatively small
tract of land. He cultivates every foot
OF this land intensively and makes it
yield the greatest possible return. In
the colonies Japanese laborers are
employed. These workers are intelli-
gent and educated young men who
hope to make their fortune In the Unit
ed States in few years and then
return to Japan and enjoy it.
While rice growing is the principal
industry of the japanese in Texas the
Webster and Deepwater colonies raise
various other kinds of products These
two colonies are typical Japanese in
dustries In Texas. including the man
ufacture of mats and tapestry and the
utilization OF rice straw in other ways
John N. Simpson of Dallas is said to
be the largest rice grower in Texas
He has farm of 10000 acres, situat-
ed in Matagorda county. He had 5000
acres of this farm In rice this season,
and the threshing Of the crop recently
was finished. The total yield was up-
ward of 100000 bushels, which was
sold for more than $4,000. Eighteen
hreshers worked nearly four weeks to
get this enormous crop out of the
straw. Kansas City Star.
