THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to

bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
4 liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that /
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day. In 2
months my weight increased from s5
to 113 pounds. my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-NCts
alone had brought the change.
MY 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely. which made him cross and
peevish. put him on a diet of Grape
Nuts. which he relished at once. He
improved from tie beginning, The &C.
zuma disappeared and now he is fat

Draws on State Appropriation.

The last state fair has a deficit,
rather than a balance, as was stated
at it's close. At that time Secretary
R. w RowIands said that the fair
would come through with balance Of
upward of $4,000 Members were
elated, as owing to the bad weather
experienced they feared that the re-
ceipts would not meet the expendi-
lures.
Now it is found that instead of
meeting expenses the state fair board
will have to draw on the state appro-
priation which comes due in January
to pay bills still outstanding. o. H.
Rewey and A. w. Prehn, members of
the board, who were in Milwaukee, ad-
mitted that there was deficit and the
board would have to wait for the state
appropriation to meet the outstanding
bills.
Secretary Rowlands, it is stated by
members, admits that there is a de-
felt in the treasury. Just how such a
mistake was made is not so easy to
discover. 1t is stated, however, that
the bills coming in were either over
looked or forgotten by the secretary
when he was making up his accounts
at the close of the fair.
1t is said now that the fair board
will begin preparation for the 1912
fair with not to exceed $4,000 in the
treasury, when it was expected that
the balance, after the state appropria-
ton was paid, would be over twice
that amount This, it is said, may pos
sibly handicap the board in it's work
of preparation for the next state fair,
but every effort will DE made to min
ilnize the effect as much as possible.
