Sort of a CanpibaI.

An old farmer for many years got
his dinner on market days at small
hotel kept by Il widow. She had long
suspected that he ate more than the
price Us. Cd warranted. so she deter
mined to test him. She accordingly ar
ranged matters so that there was no
room for him at table, but she took
him into a private room the table of
which was graced by a steaming leg
of mutton. He set to in good earnest,
and soon nothing was left but the
bones. Highly delighted with his cheap
feed, on passing tie bar he rendered 2
shillings for his dinner and quart of
ale.
The widow declined to take any pay
ment on the ground of having incon-
venienced him so much.
Chuckling to himself. the farmer lift
ed down his market basket from q
hook, and. finding it rather light, he
tore off the covering and shouted:
Here. Mrs. Brown, where's my leg
o. mutton"
"Why. We old silly" said the widow,
we have ate your leg for your din

EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal
food of some kind ut breakfast and
supper, but the ordinary way of cook
ing cereals results in a pasty mass
that is hard to digest and if not prop
erly digested, the raw mass goes
down into the intestinal tract where gas
is generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digesteG keeps the body well
while poor food, or even food of good
quality that is poorly prepared and
not digested is sure to bring on some
kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly
at the factory some , to 16 hours
being consumed in the different pro-
cesses of preparation. The food
therefore, is ready for instant SER
vice and the starch has been changed
to a form of sugar, so that it is pre-
dlgested and ready for almost i'm
mediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indi-
gestion and dyspepsia from the use
OF food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts and |
confess to having had prejudice at
first. and was repeatedly urged be-
fore finally decided to try the food,
but | have not known what indiges-
ton is since using it, and have never
been stronger or in better health
have increased in weight from 109
to "a pounds
People can be well, practically
without cost, il they will adopt sci
entific food and leave off the indi-
sestible sort
There's a Reason"
Grape-Nuts food is crisp and deli
clous to the taste. 1t should be
served exactly as it comes from the
package without cooking, except in
cases where it is made up into pud-
dings and other desserts Book of
delicious recipes, and THE Road to
Weilville" in packages.

QUITS PAYING BOUNTlES
Knox Supervisors Suspect Hunters
Wolves i'm Adjacent Counties.

Galesburg. H., Sept. 1S.-The
Knox county board of supervisors by
unanimous vote has decided to cease
paying all bOunties. The action was
taken as matter of economy. In
the year ending Sept. |. the county
paid $1,000 in grounding, wolf and
crow bounties. In wolf bounties alone
the county paid $3.50. and suspicion
exists that hunters killed wolves in
adjacent counties and brought the
scalps TO this county, The crow
bounty should be abolished as the
bounties paid were large The super
visors said they thought the crow
