NOT ON MEAT
Man Couldn't Regain Strength Until
He Changed To Grape-Nuts.

It's a common joke to say He eats so
much 1t makes him poor to carry It
around" when speaking of some thin
scrawny fellow who eats as much as a I.
horse, but It is frequently true II the
food Is not the kind the body calls
for.
A German woman of Chicago gives an
instance in her own family. It's briefly
told, but the truth is there: MY hus-
band lost his left hard in an accident
and lost a large amount of blood. He
kept getting weaker for Ave months and
finally got a severe cough. He would
eat Dig meals of meat and potatoes to
get well, but didn't get any good from
them. Finally l persuaded him to try
Grape Nuts food and from a skeleton
of Ss pounds he soon regained his nor
NAL weight of 207 pounds and is strong
and we'll and declares he wants no other
food for the main part of his meals.
"As for myself my flesh was fiabby, l
tired so easily and my memory was SO
poor l could keep nothing in my head.
but after three months of the Grape
Nuts diet ! gained II pounds, my flesh
is hard and firm, l am stronger and Hiy
memory has improved wonderfully.
Keep a candy sore, but sell Crane
Nuts, too, for / think II is the best
thing to give the children" Namo

WESTERN FARMING
Lee Cooch Returns from Extended Trip
Compares Conditions here with West

Trying to farm too much land'
IS an interesting observation made
by Lee Cooch, editor of the Prac-
teal Farmer, on his return from a
tour OF the middle and north west
ern states.
Mr.. Cooch makes an annual trip
through the middle west in the in
terests of his publication and comes
IN close contact with the western
farmers and their methods. His
recent trip took him through Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wiscon-
sin.
He reports enormous crops
throughout this section with corn
leading 65 to Is bushels per acre
IN the corn belt; the wheat crop
above normal throughout the north
west and promises Of big yield in
Canada. The oat crop around 100
bushels per acre mark is the larg-
est IN years. The recent frosts are
reported to have damaged the corn
crop in Iowa at least one fourth.
With all their up-to-date farm
ing Mr.. Cooch upholds the feme
state. He backs up the recent
statements made in THE POST
by Professors Grantham and
McCue, and Oliver Newton, that
the real opportunity for the farmer
to-day is right here on the penin-
sula. We have the soil, the mar
kets, have learned the advantage of
small acreage-all an advantage
over the Western man.
Our great drawback here is the
lack Of cooperation. In this the
Western farmer is far in advance
OF his eastern brother. Mr.. Cooch
can assign no reason for this un-
less it be the fact that most tillers
Of the soil there own their land
The State of Illinois, is going back
agriculturally and largely in Mr.
Cooches estimation bcause of sc
many renters. Practically every
visitor to the west comes back laud
ing the opportunities and advan
tages of this peninsula and call at
tention to the great need of coop
Grafton here as practiced in the
West.
"A recent visitor said that West
ern farmers would go in bankrupt
cy if they had no more of the busi
ness spirit than is found among
! Delaware farmers.
Mr.. Cooch talked interestingly ol
his political observations but re
fused to talk for publication.

Delaware to Play
on Home Grounds

All the injured players OH the
college football team are improving
and it is thought that the entire
varsity eleven, will be able to get
in the game against Lebanon Val
ley next Saturday, which will be
the first game of the year on the
home grounds. Delaware won
from Lebanon Valley last year but
the latter apparently have much
stronger eleven this season as they
beld Gettysburg to one touchdown
last Saturday. Coach McAvoy
will drill the squad hard this week
to get them in good trim for Satur-
days game.
The showing made against Hav-
erford last Saturday even with a
much crippled team was better
than last year. In 1911 the score
was II to 0, while this year it was
but IA to 0 in favor of Hayerford.

High School Pupils
Purchase Piano---Instru-
ment Placed Yesterday

\ fine new upright piano was
placed in tn Newark High School
Yesterday. The purchase was the
result of efforts on the part OF the
Students since the opening OF
school. During the few weeks that
have elapsed since the beginning OF
the fall term the boys and girls
have been hustling for the piano
(which will add so much pleasur
10 the school life. Last year a
number of pupils formed an or
chestra which furnished music Tor
several entertainments at the New
Century Club reception to the Pres
ident of the State Federation, etc.
With an instrument in the build
ing more progress should be made
and the prospect is promising for
an even better result next year
The new piano was purchased
from Robelin & Co., Wilmington,
by a committee composed OF r. L..
Richards of the School Board, Miss
Anderson representing the teach
ers. and Miss Myrtle Steele, the
High School. One hundred five dol
lars was paid on the instrument,
and the pupils hope to pay the re-
mainder during the year by means
of series Of entertainments whlch
they are planning.
With the addition of the piano
in the High School, all the school
buildings are equipped for muslca,
instruction. 1t is to be regretteo
that with so pronounced a dlspo-
Sition for musical atmosphere on
the part of the pupils, there has not
been recognition of the same on
the part of the Board by the pro
vision of a musical director for the
schools.

Regular Meeting of Council---
Consider Street improvements

1t is the intention of Town Coun-
Gil to grade North College and
Prospect Avenue. The matter was
discussed at the regular meeting of
Council Monday night. A bid was
received from Stewart and Dona-
hue, Offering to put North College
Avenue from Cleveland Avenue to
the town limits on a grade for Sl25.
Council decided to accept this prop
osition but as Prospect Avenue also
needs grading it was finally decid-
ed to secure estimates for that work
also and an adjournment was taken
until next Monday night when it is
likely both contracts will be award
ed. The street committee was also
authorized to have some curbing
and a gutter put in at the east end
of Main street not to cost more
than 60 cents a foot.
Professor Roberts Of Delaware
College who lives on Prospect Ave.
was before Council and asked that
something be done for that street.
1t was after Professor Roberts
made his appeal that it was decided
to get the estimates for grading.
Council in a short time will prob
ably go to the Levy Court and ask
that North College Avenue just
outside of the town limits be wild
ened for short distance. It de-
veloped during the discussion Of
the matter last night that Theo-
dore F. Armstrong owns some
property there and is willing to
give sufficient land to widen the
street if the County will do the
work.
Mayor Hossinger, in talking over
the finances of the board Monday
night, stated that after paying for
macadamizing Cleveland Avenue
which will be 81, 1885, the bills
passed last night and about 81 400,
of interest due in December, he
