-, OTHING just like the Land show, now be-
ing held in Omaha, seen by the
general run of Nebraska citizens A
few people in the state have SINH
IESM$$92t lar shows at Chicago elsewhere very
S3ees<1S recently, but these that, while the
Omaha show is not as extensive as some
others, II is much more satisfactory.
This can readily be believed because the Omaha
show is not only compact but it is comprehensive in
high degree. Assembled from very wide and rich
territory, the exhibits have been handled and placed
in such way that the result is most satisfying from
an artistic standpoint Internationally the value of
the various displays would be hard to calculate This
is certain: That the person who views and studies
the exhibits with open eye and a mind given to
arguing to effect cannot fail to gain dis
tinct benefit Questions will bring forth variety of
information that could be gained from other source
and in no other way aside from actual experience.
The individuals and the corporations that have
placed exhibits in the Omaha Land Show have come
here with very definite purpose in view With them
It is no parade affair although they appreciate
to the full the value of pleasing arrangement of crop
specimens. In every booth will be found men and
women who are familiar with every popularity of SOIL
climate product price of land, opportunity for rich
and poor, investor and settler The men who directed
the work of gathering and forwarding the component
parts of the various displays took particular pains to
send with them the people who can and will answer
every question specifically and in enlghtenng man
ner.

cent from a total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
phate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half Of an the mineral salts In the food.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey an authority on the
constituent elements Of the body, says: "Phe
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic celLsalt, Potassium Phos-
phate phosphate of Potash) This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition Of oxygen
creates nevve fluid or the gray matter of the
brain. OF course, there is trace Of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir OF life"
Further on he says '"Fhe beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and In molecular form exactly as nature fur
nishes Il in vegetables fruits and grain. To

The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate

It, you have brain tag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, II you eat food known to

came into possession Of a piece Of wire
Of considerable length and never hav-

sticks In the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
It at the top of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds

Girls and women should forget all

All agree that with few exceptions
the women bet a small amount and go
