CHANGE THE VIBRATION
1t Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes, coffee, and etc, and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good,
>rich blood and strong tissue.
"A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts\is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which it
is made: This is the element which
transformS albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills

Kansas Takes
1000 Overland Cars

Our agents in Kansas have ordered for
this season 1000 Overland automobiles.
Nebraska takes 750-Iowa 1O0O-Texas
1900. Thus has the Overland-after one
years's experience-captured the farming
states.
1t has captured the cities, too. New
York City takes 1000 Overlands this year.
Boston takes 50O-San Francisco 500
Washington 50o-Philadelphia 45O
Our agents have contracted for 10000
Overlands-for $240000OO worth of Over
1ands-to supply the demand for this
year. That's larger sale than any 9TH
er car commands.
Yet, two years ago few had ever heard
of an Overland. This sensational success
is due to the creation of a remarkable
car.

Do farmers eat the proper sor. Of fooda

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from
He should, however, use great care
In selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

ENDS AN OLD TOWN

Edinburg Dies a Natural Death When

Trenton. Mo. Edinburg. known
over the state before the war as the
Athens of Missouri" and for many
years the rival of Trenton as a ira
ding point and political center, where
many men, afterward prominent IN
state affairs received their first col
legiate training. was disncorporated
recently by an order of the county
court
The order marks the last step in
the little towns retrogression since
the Chicago, Rock Island & Quincy
and Omaha & Kansas City railways
passed the village by.
The story of the settlement, growth
and decline of the village of Edinburg
is full of interest. The town came into
existence in 1888 when Isaac j. Harvey
built store there. Not so favorably
situated as Trenton, the growth of the
town did not compare with that of the
county seat until after 1850. At the
halfway mark of the century Grand
River college was established in Edin-
burg
Then came an era of prosperity. The
fame of the school grew, and in
structors Of the best were numbered
in the faculty. The pretty little town
was in itself an attraction to students,
and the name of Edinburg became
widely known. Business doomed, the
town took on a thriving air and the
county seat feared for its own growth.
Then came the war and progress
stopped. The luster of the classic
school became dim. After the war
there was revival of learning in
Edinburg, and the prospect was fair
again, until the Chicago Rock Island
& Pacific railroad came through in
1871 and marked Trenton as the fu.
ture city of the section.
Business projects were killed in Ed
inburg. and the village lost ground,
but the fame of the school still lived,

the one non-poisonous drink? Chemi-

WEALTHY MAN SHOOTS SELF:
 DEATH NEAR
Charles A. Meeker, Prom inent Southport Resident, Dying from Self Inflicted Wound.

! Charles A. Meeker, one of the fore most men of Southport, is dying at his handsome home in that town to- day from wounds self inflicted late yesterday afternoon. For some time he has been suffering with nervous prostration. He resides with his wife in what was formerly known as the Capt Peet place on Harbor road which he recently purchased. He has two sons,s Frank and John, and one married daughter. The latter resides in New Jersey and her father recent ly returned from a visit to her. His sons do not reside at home.
 Yesterday afternoon while his wife was temporarily absent he seized a revolver and fired shot through his head. Shortly afterwards he was dis covered in a pool of blood and Drs. Hetzel and Donaldson summoned They saw at once that the wound would probably prove fatal.
 Recently MT. Meeker disposed of a large farm at Sasco Hill to Clarence Sturges, the price paid being 50,000. MT. Meeker was a trustee and deacon of the Southport M. E. church. There is little doubt that his ill health calls- ed him to become Respondent and in a moment of insanity he committed the rash act.
