had explained his plans in detail he
asked Mr.. Schade to sign his name on
q piece Of paper, giving him permis-
sion to go over his land. Mr.. Schade
said that all Of his neighbors' names
were on the paper that looked like a
petition and he did not hesitate to put
down his signature.
Yesterday when he was away from

asked for his money, $500. Mrs,

Abilene is now having a siege oi
the hottest weather Of the year. Yes
terday was hot and today is little
better. With practically no breeze
at all, the suns rays take full effect
upon those who are so unfortunate
as to have to be working. And even
those who are not laboring find II
hard work to keep cool. At noon
today the thermometers at the various
stores were registering from 10 to
1O5 degrees. And that was in the
shade.
The main topic Of discussion every
where Is the heat. asn't 1t simply
awful?" and ri just know I'll die
before night" are the most frequent
comments on the hot weather propo-
sition. The merchants and clerks
have indeed forgotten the slogan,
"Swat the Fly" and are only try-
ing to keep cool.
The worst of 1t is the night tenn
perature which without breeze to
cool the bedrooms hangs around S.
to 80 degrees. Part Of the popula-
tion is sleeping on the porches and
some. on the lawns. Those who stay
indoors perspire and swear at the
weather,
Just one CLEAN Of hope exists
the weatherman promises unsettled
weather and probable showers. The
latter can't come any too soon to

TURN OVER TIME.
When Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to any food
and all that one eats doesn't seem to
do any good then is the time to make a
turn over in the diet. for that's
Natures way of dropping a hint that
the food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years I followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work 'of trying nature.
Meal times were our busiest part Of
the day. Eating too much and too
served in hotels and restaurants
together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from Is to 100 pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good 1t seemed the more | ate the
thinner l got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much had eaten.
"'rhen | commenced a fair trial of
Grape Nuts and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry ME
along, strong and with satisfied appa-
tite. until the next meal, with no sensa-
tions of hunger weakness or distre -
as before.
Il have been following this diet nov
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use Of
Grape Nuts, with complete satisfaction
and much improvement in health and
brain power.
American people undoubtedly eat
hurriedly. have lots of worry. thus
hindering digestion and therefore need
a food that is predigested and con-
centrated for nourishment." There
