To lrriaate 100000 Acres.

Greeley.-Maps and statements have
been filed in the office Of the county
clerk and recorder for the Kersey
canal, which has for its purpose the
reclamation Of 100000 acres of land in
Weld, Morgan and Washington coun-
ties. The land to be irrigated Is
among the best in Northern Colorado
and the system, when completed, will
cost $1,073,540.
Detailed maps show the course Of
the ditch which will have a carrying
capacity Of 1000 cubic feet per second,
and twenty-eight miles of 1t will be in
this county. The water supply will
be obtained from the Platte river
with the head gate six miles east Of
this city.
The main reservoir will be located
at Home, fifty-five miles west Of Fort
Collins. Here the Roosevelt reservoir
will be constructed. This Is a natural
reservoir site and is owned by men

WISE WORDS,
A Physician on Food.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them howl
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetio laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick.
ness and convalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
In cases Of indigestion I know that
. complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think It 10
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. I also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
This IL written after an experience
Of more than 20 years, treating all
manner Of chronic and acute diseases.
