STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a ju-
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out In the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape Nuts
as food. He says:
'For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
''The crisp food with the delicious.
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. l have been
particularly impressed by the benefl-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
''As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat

power of resisting fatigue, while it's

before the war at Lawrence, but this
one was blown down several years
ago.
The mill was built by Charles
Schwarz He came from Holland. He
had been miller in his native land
and when he came to Kansas to seek
his fortune on prairie farm he found
it was many miles to mill.
SchwarZ saw in this an opportunity
for he had been miller in the old
country and the strong winds of Kan
sas reminded him of the ocean winds
that sweep across the bikes of Holland
and turn the mills dotted all over that
country. SO he conceived the idea of
making the bold, free winds of the
prairie pay toll by turning mill that
should grind the peoples grain.
But there was no machinery in this
country for such mill, so with great
care and pains, he drew on paper
drafts of every wheel and cog and
lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin
coin, Neb., had the plans worked out
and the parts forged in the foundry
there.
And for nearly forty years the old
mill has been doing duty, working
when the wind blows, resting when
the calm comes; teaching its genial
master many lesson in patience, fur
nishing food for the public roundabout,
and competence for the man who
saw an opportunity and had the skill
and perseverance to accomplish what
was. in that day, really great under
taking.

grinding songs and the songs of inspiration and
encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle.
It Is usually difficult for listener of another
race to catch Indian song owing to the con,
ficting noise due, in great part, to the beating
of the drums There is usually difference in
time, the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps of the
ceremonial dancers, whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be in ga time the
beat be in SO time against "a melody in ga time,
or the entire song may be sung to a rapid tremolo
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making study of Indian music are enthusiastic
over IT'S possibilities They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study of the growth of musical FORM but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the presentday
composer wealth of melodc and rhythmic move
ments constituting source of inspir alton equal
to that which has been supplied by the folk songs
of Europe and vastly more serviceable in the
development of distinctive American school
of music.

Dying by Organs.

1t has been discovered that If a
human being dies after an ordinary
illness and not a violent death he
does not die all over and all at once.
He may have a diseased liver, heart
or lung, and this may be the cause
of his death; but it has been found
that if the diseased organ could have
been replaced by healthy one life
might have been maintained indefi-
nitely. This is no imagination or
speculation. 1t has been confirmed
by the most careful experiments by
the ablest medical scientists in the
country-Leslie's Weekly.
