Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste Is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting tie right kind
of food to fit the body than that of
adults. Nature works more accurately
through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little
boy had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well YOU never saw child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on it
seemed as though we could almost see
him grow He would eat Grape Nuts
for breakfast and supper, and think
he would have liked the food for din
ner.

They showed it. So I urged her to use

Governor Carroll was placed on

chairman of the state board of con-

these charges, which were made

Cleaver T. Scroggs, travelling freight
agent for the Burlington, left Keokuk
last evening for Oklahoma City, Okla.
where, on October 18th, he will enter
the traffic department of the Nelson
Morris Packing Co.
The new position is merited pro
motion and one that will identify the
Keokuk man with one of the rapidly
growing cities of the west. The Mel

City and the coup in securing this
plant is only another interesting chap

town that reads like a fairy tale Ii
just two hours the sum of 100000
was raised as an inducement to the
concern.
Cleaver T. Scroggs is a son of the

be beneficial to the public, also wise
to state in Mr.. Pratt's favor the poll

whose past experience in the indoor
and pavilion skating business is a
sufficient recommendation for him.
Last year he was connected with the

OF the season and was at Galesburg

forepart of the '09 season. Mr.. Pratt
has also been conductor of Kinks in
Los Angeles and Red Wing, Calf.
To be concise he will invite only
the best class of ladies and gentle
men to the Roll-a-way rink in acS-

that the most fastidious and refined
can find keenest pleasure at the rink

MORAL VICTORY
over OPPONENTS
Verdict in the Criminal Libel Suit
Against Governor Carroll, Was
Given Last Ev-
enins.
WAS A POLITICAL MOVE
Thinly Disguised Attempt to &c
Carroll off the State Ticket
To Help The
Insurgents.

Governor B. F. Carroll scored
complete victory last evening in the
libel suit brought against him by
John Cownie, former member of the
state board of control Shortly after
the case was given to the jury, it re-
turned verdict of mot guilty"
The victory is not only moral
but big political one, as well. The
case against the governor was thin
ly disguised attempt at his political
life for which the insurgent forces
are to be held responsible. Governor
Carroll was a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Senator Cummins sent word to
Des Moines that Garst would be
brought out against him. Cummins
and Dolliver entered the primary
campaign against Carroll During that
campaign John Cownie attacked Car
roll severely, causing Carroll to
bring out the facts for which he was
afterwards placed on trial on the
charge of criminally libeling Cownie.
The suit for libel, it was charged,
was a political move to discredit
Carroll, and the insurgent press of
the state at once began to demand
the withdrawal of Carroll from the
ticket.
