HAMERY FATHERS MOVEMENT
Declares That Thursday Nights Near
Tragedy Is Evidence That Street

stall Brakes.

Des Moines, Sept. 4.--Now is the
time to equip all street cars in Des
Moines with air brakes, is the opin-
ion of Councilman Hamery, superin-
tendent of the department of public
safety. Following the accident in
which thirty-one passengers of a
street car were injured when the car
was struck by Rock Island engine
at First street and the Rock Island
tracks, Mr. Hamery introduced a reso-
luton at the meeting of the city
council, instructing the corporation
counsel to render a report as to
whether or not the Des Moines City
Railway company can be compelled
to install air brakes on all it's cars.
The resolution was passed without
q dissenting vote.
Several cities in the state not half
the size of Des Moines, have air
brakes on all their street cars. Mr..
Hamery has tried before to have the
Des Moines cars equipped with them,
but without success.
If Corporation Counsel Baily finds
that the city of Des Moines can COM
pei the street car company to place
air brakes on all the cars, he will
draft an ordinance.

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas.
ured largely by its purity; the re.
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as il
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob.
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. If you are
convenient to the store buy the reg.
ular size packages; If not near the
store, buy the large size family pack.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
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

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 I would wish l never had to

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

It is pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
