SURPRISED DOCTOR.
Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability OF
Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis
ordered that they will reject every
thing else, is illustrated by the case
of a woman in Racine, Wis.
''Two years ago." she says, Il was
attacked by a stomach trouble so Sc
rious that for long time I could not
take much Of any sort of food Even
the various kinds prescribed by the
doctor produced most acute pain.
eve then got some Grape-Nuts food,
and you can imagine my surprise and
delight when found that l could eat
it with relish and without the slight
est distress.
when the doctor heard of it he told
me to take several small portions each
day, because he feared l would grow
tired of it as I had Of all other food.
"But to his surprise, (and that Of
everybody else), I did not tire of
Grape-Nuts, and became better day by
day, till, after some weeks, my stom-
ach entirely recovered and I was able
to eat anything my appetite craved.
'My nerves, which had become so
weakened that I feared 1 would be-
come insane, were also restored by
the Grape-Nuts food in connection
with Postum which has become our
table beverage. I appreciate most
gratefully and thankfully the good that
your food preparations have done me,
and shall be glad to answer any letters
inquiring as to my experience" Name

Ne,Os Notes of Wisconsin

MadisOn.-The Chicago, M1lWau-
kee and St. Paul and the Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie rail-
way companies have notified Prof.
w. o. Hotchkiss, secretary of the
Wisconsin highway commission, that
they would reduce their rates on the
transportation of stone used by the
state in the construction of public
highways to the new rate given by
the Chicago and Northwestern COM
pany, which is II cent per ton per
mile This rate is only given to the
state and not to the towns, villages,
cities and counties shipping stone
for road improvements.
Waupun. the board of con,
troll was fully justified in refusing to
grant parole to one applicant who
had placed in the bank $500 to be
drawn by his attorney as soon as the
parole was granted, is the statement
of the Rev. Daniel Woodward, war
den of the state prison, who declares
that attorneys have never been al
lowed to appear in parole cases. In
vestigations by agents Of the board
into the conduct Of the applicant fur
nish the information taken into con-
sideration when an application is be-
ing acted on.
Washington, D. Certain mem
bers of the senate committee on
privileges and elections are not salts
fed with the finding of the subcom-
mittee which eXonerated Senator
Isaac Stephenson of charges growing
out of his election. 1t is intimated
a minority report may be presented
to the senate. When the subcommit-
tee reported to the full committee
that no evidence of corrupt practices
had been found, some members Of
the committee asked for more time
to consider the report. Hence the
extension of two weeks was granted.

MUST WORK TOGETHER

If You saw a man throwing
sand at your plate glass window
it would not worry you much,
would it?
But if you saw him massinQ
the particles of sand into an
adhesive ball with the aid of a
little lime and water, you would
know that the sand thus
cemented together, would 90
through the window when il
was hit.
And YOU would Immediately
begin to figure on your insur-
ance.
II all the men in this country
were to start out, each on his
own responsibility, to conquer
another nation, that nation
would not have much TO fear,
would il?
But if these same men went
out together under efficient lead
ership. they would be practi-
cally resistless.
So it is with the community.
A single individual, however
earnest and ambitious in his de-
sires to advance the welfare of
his community can do little more
than agitate.
An entire community of in
dividuals prompted by the same
desire but acting each on his
own initiative, and without re-
gard to what the others were
doing, will accomplish little
more.
But actuated by the same de-
sire. and working collectively
for the same purpose-ah that
is another story.
Our town is entitled to the con-
fdence, loyalty and hearty sup
port of everybody in the COM
Exchange.

at the end of the month we get
it and if there is any going to

business in any line. The news
paper should be no exception.
Often newspaper men are to
blame for the so-called ''incon-
sistencies." Some times they
over run a town with newspapers
and expect the merchants to ad-
vertise in all of them, when one
covers the entire field, and two
or three are just that much more
expense for the same service.
and sometimes not so good. One
good paper in a community is APP
preciated more, and is worth
more to the merchants and the
town in general than half a dozen
sickly, half supported sheets that
reflects nothing but discredit to
the town from an advertising
viewpoint.

Many back yards are an
abomination to the eye and

probably lamented as 'mys-

say if he were to visit the back
yard, that death was caused
solely by a violation of hygenic
laws. A very strong argument
against back yards in the spirit
of deception which it is apt to
foster in the young members of
the family. for it is a constant
deceit to present a clean and at.
