WISE WORDS
A Physician ON Food.

A physician Of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
have always believed that the
duty OF the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe 1t to humanity to teach them
now to protect their health, especial
1y by hygienic and dietetic laws,
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts
and that I find there is almost no
limit to the great benefit this food
will bring when used in all cases of
sickness and cOnvalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of
Grape-Nuta To persons in health
there is nothing 50 nourishing and
acceptable to the stomach especially
at breakfast to start the machinery of
the human system on the days work.
In cases of indigestion know that a
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think it
is necessary not to overload the stom-
ach at the morning meal also know
the great value of Grape-Nuts when
the stomach is too weak to digest
other food.

HEAR brewery CASES
Judge Pollock Says Collections Can
not Be Made in Kansas.

Kansas City, Dec. 2.-Breweries
making deliveries OF beer In Kansas
will have to collect for their sales out
side Of Kansas, according to rules
suggested by Judge John c. Pollock
in federal court at Kansas City, Kan.
Monday. Judge Pollock also said the
breweries should not, in his opinion,
advertise or solicit for orders in Kan
sas.
The judges Interpretation of the
Webb and Mahin laws was expressed
in the course Of arguments by attor-
neys for breweries and for the city IN
q suit to permanently enjoin the po-
lice force Of Kansas City, Kan. from
interfering with the delivery Of beer
in that city on brewery wagons and
trucks.
Five months ago Judge Pollock
granted the breweries a temporary
Injunction made after the police had
begun to arrest every brewery wagon
using the streets. The fight between
these city officials and the breweries
began when Mayor c. w. Green. on
taking Office last spring. ordered a
cleanup of liquor selling places An
inspection of a brewery wagon Is said
to have disclosed a number of dummy
orders to correspond with the number
of cases on the wagon.
The breweries contend their deliv
cry of beer in Kansas City, Kan, is
for home consumption and made on
bona fide transactions and comply
with all the laws. The city charges
the brewery wagons knowingly supply
beer to places where it is served ille
gally.
Arguments will be resumed today.

BIG INSTITUTE AT HAYS
Governor Hodges and Board Of Adj
ministration Attended.

HAYS, Dec. 2.-The Farmers and
Housekeepers' institute for western
Kansas was opened here Monday with
a big attendance. For several days
past the weather has been rainy and
the roads are heavy. This prevented
many from the surrounding towns
from attendance. In spite OF this the
crowd was so great that the auditor
ium of the Western State Normal
school was wholly inadequate ana the
speeches were delivered from the
steps of the main building.
The institute was opened by Gov
ernor George H. Hodges. In his
speech he emphasized the fact that
the great problem Of the time is the
development of better living in the
rural communities. He said that two
forces are the great factors in bring
ing this about. The first factor Is
consolidated schools and the second Is
good roads. He emphasized particu-
larly the fact that the greatest forces
in civilization today are the teachers
and the good roads movement. His
speech was well received.
President Waters of the Agricul-
tural college spoke next. He talked
on the problem of shortening the road
between the producer and the con-
sumner. He urged that communttt IS
should encourage the sentiment in Ia
vor of buying products produced in
their immediate vicinity. He showed
the wastefulness of sending the mon
ey of the community away for food
products that should be found at
home. The wastefulness of present
methods of distribution was shown
with great force.
President E. T. Hackney and Gov.
E. w. Hoch Of the board of admints-
tration both spoke briefly.
Before the institute opened, a pro-
cession of students from the Normal
school and the Hays High school to-
gether with the visitors marched to
the town and escorted the speakers to
the school. A moving picture Of the
procession and of the activities of the
school was taken. The enrolment
was more than 500 for the first day.

Anti-TOxin to Prevent Contagion.


Mcpherson, Kan, Dec. DR. A.
Engberg was called to the home of
c. J. Carlson. near Windon, to attend
to his eight-year-old son. and found a
well developed case of diphtheria-
Anti-toxin was Immediately used and
the case exhibited decided improve
ments today.
Modern treatment was shown. the
physicians FAY, that the anti-toxin
used, not only checks the majority OF
cases suffering from the formerly
very fatal disease, but that a proven
tive dose can be administered to those
who have been exposed, with the re-
suit that they are rendered immune
against the disease.
The school board and patrons have
taken action in the matter and have
decided to administer the serum to
the whole school, as they think 1t will
prevent a further spread, q course
which is now proved by up-to-date
physicians. A supply Of serum was
ordered. DIR. A. Engberg and Dr.. c.
r. Lyt1e expect to administer the
treatment.

outlook for this crop was never finer.
There is probably the largest acreage
in this county that ever was put out
before in the history Of the county.
There is no complaint about winter
feed for stock, as there is fine pastur-
age in nearly every field of wheat. The

reasonable figure. Early in the fall
the price of pasturing horses was 81
