DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without II.

A physician says: Until last fall ]
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then l have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit / derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results look for
when prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek. Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount Of nutriment, and the easy
digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place, the starchy part
of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar, in which state it is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts. in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use Of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained II this remarkable food. and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers, 30
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for a week or
ten days.

Buy Feed or Sell PIass

A good many are asking what they
are to feed their pigs. this season, with
corn at 80 cents a bushel and mid
dlings $1.75 per cwt. and prospects Of
going still higher. For the man who
has pigs and no feed. we thing it would
be about the most reasonable thing for
him to- sell his pigs to some man who
has feed. and save himself the drudg-
cry Of carrying the food to them and
the risk Of losing good money in the
process. It Is the opinion of the writer
that even with pork abnormally high.
there is no money to be made just now
by feeding hogs on a ration that must
all be purchased at current prices.

BELL BROUGHT INTO COURT
His Examination, However, Was Con

Oliver Bell, the young man who

Chief of Police Donahue has re-
ceived a letter from Superintendent
w. l.. Kuser of the State Industrial
school at Eldora, Iowa, in which he
says that Bell has been an inmate OF
that school on three or four different
occasions but he was SO unreliable
that it was impossible to do anything
with him. He ran away from the
school four times, and was fugitive
from Justice at the time he was ar
rested in Mankato, having escaped
from the school last June. Accord
ing to the letter he is trouble
maker and is better qualified for the
reformatory. Mr.. Kuser says he had
heard that Bell was guilty of abus-
ing girls before, although he had no
proof to that effect. He does not
want Bell returned to the school, but
desires to have him sent to the re-
formatory, il the evidence will war
rant so doing.
Bell was committed to the county
Jail to await his examination on
April 1. DR.. Roy Andrews made an
examination of the girl shortly after

UNCLE SAM AS FIRST
AID TO GOOD COOKING
No Other Nation Shows So Much
Interest in Housewife.
BY S. M. lADD.l

Washington, D. c., March 49,
No other nation takes such an in.
terest in the housewife as does the
United States. This is the assertion
made by Uncle Sans experts in
the department of agriculture, an in.
out useful information in the shape
of bulletins and publications to
housewives who want the latest
word on the scientific preparation
of food and household management.
The department of agriculture al
ways has on hand corps of skilled
men and women who make study
of food subjects. The result of
their research is published in the
form of bulletins and distributed.
One might think that this depart
ment studies only questions which
relate to the use of agriculture prod
ucts on the farms, but such is not
the case. The activities of this very
useful department are much broader.
Much of the investigation relates
to the subject of food nutrition
and the preparation of human foods,
the object being to help the house
wife in her efforts to provide a
good living at reasonable cost, with
out undue labor.
i: i i: i:
One of the most popular of the
household bulletins was the social
ed Uncle Sans Cook Book" Mem
bers of congress were well nigh
swamped with requests for this
popular bulletin. The number of this
bulletin is 391, and the title of it
'The Economical Use of Meat in
the Home So great was the de-
mand for it that congress authorized
an additional issue of half million
copies. Most of these bulletins are
distributed through members of con-
gress upon request Of those desir-
ing copies.
Recently the department has is
sued a second Uncle Sans Cook
Book" which relates to the prepare
ton of various cheese dishes. 1t bids
fair to rival in popularity the one
devoted to meats. The number OF
this bulletin is 4S7. It's title ID

washington, March 14AThe -p5resi-
dent, in a special message to congress,
transmitted the first installment of the
information collected by the depart
ment of state in regard to cooperation
and the cost of living in various Euro
pean countries.
The department, by direction of the
president, instructed the consular Of
ficers to make the investigation. The
results OF the inquiry are summed up
in 4 letter from Acting Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson, which is
submitted with the consular reports
and with q summary of their contents.
The president in his message says
that the popular demand for informa-
ton of this character apparently was
based on the belief that some remedy
might be found for the high cost of
living.
The immediate result of the inquiries
instituted by the department of state
through the consular officers was to

operative societies shows that even
when there has been an advance in
wages the percentage has not kept
pace with the rise in the cost of food
supplies.

ducers and consumers to solve for

Requested Board Meeting.
Witness later requested DR.. Hol
! brook to call a meeting of the board
and the meeting was called for De
cember IA. According to his testi
mony, Mr.. Chance attended this
meeting. 1t was moved at the meet
ing that the board go into executive
session, but Mr.. Chance objected. II
was voted to make it an executive
session, however. Mr.. Sperry then
made his charges against the plain
tiff. The superintendent said in his
charges that there had been an in
creasing number of failures in Mr.
Chances classes; that he had been
disloyal to the school organization
| that he had not attended to his
hall duties properly and that he had
gathered crowds of students together
| for a purpose which Mr.. Sperry die
not understand, and also that his
discipline had been poor. Witness
stated that it was at this meeting
the board discharged him.
| The witness was taking up more
time than was considered necessary
by Judge Pau, who asked him to
confine his answers to the questions
asked. Even his own attorney, Mr.
Porter, became little tired of his
lengthy explanations and remarked
ooh, MI Chance, go OH and answer
the questions"
When Chance Was Sustained.
In an action which was taken re-
garding the dismissal of a student
from class, it was shown that Mr.
Sperry sustained Mr. Chances de
cision, rather than the decision OF
Mr.. Norby. Mr.. Chance had given
| the impression that Mr.. Sperry hao
been unjust with him, and had not
upheld him.
After Mr.. Chance received the let
| ter containing the charges agains
! him he told some of the students
that he had been charged with being
on bad terms with them, and that he
would like to know their attitude
He then gave them slips OF paper
which were shown in court, with, the
opinions of the students on that sub
ject.
Attorney Wilson Is Facetious.
On the night of the board meeting
at which Mr.. Chance was discharged
some of the students asked if. Il
would be an open meeting, and the
witness told them that he thought
it would be. The students went tc
the meeting but Mr.. Chance said
that "Mr. Scherer chased them out
The slips written by the students
giving their opinion of Mr.. Chance
as a teacher, and those giving thell
reasons for failing in their examlna
asked if they were the original slips
Mr.. Chance said: 81 think they are
the ones which were taken away
from me in the meeting" He gave
the impression that the slips had
been taken from him by force, and
Attorney Wilson did not seem to like
his attitude, and asked him If these
men had "billies'' or "revolvers.'
The judge then declared the court
adjourned for the noon recess.

spectators in the court room this
forenoon,
