WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A physician OF Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says
Il 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 how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling as TO my duty,
! 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 find there is almost no limit TO
the great benefit this food will bring
when used IN all cases of sickness and
conYalescence.
IT Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use OF Grape
Nuts To persons In health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast. 10 start the machinery OF the hui
man system on the days work IN
case OF indigestion | know that a com
plcte breakfast can be made Of Grape
Nuts and cream and / think IL is ne'-
essary not to overload the stomach at

Chautauqua Program

The program for the chautau-
qua this summer is in the hands
of the local promoters. The
program is to extend over six
days, with two performances,
an afternoon and evening per-
formance each day. The dates
for the chautauqua as nearly as
can be ascertained will be the
first week in August, commenc-
ing Friday, August l and clos
ing Wednesday, August 6. The
program shows a program for
only five days but the contract
is for a six days chautauqua.
There probably is an error in
the program which will be salts
factorily adjusted. There are
two numbers for each days
session, including music, chalk
artists and lecturers.

A False Report

Considerable anguish of spirit
was caused here by the report of
an alleged crime of unusual pro-
portions at Fayette, wherein it
was reported that a man had
terribly mistreated his wife and
that she was dead and a mob
forming to hang him. AS usual
the report was found to be based
on imagination, principally. The
facts are that Jess Patterson, a
SON of Bob Patterson a former
resident of this county who lived
at one time near Salisbury, re-
turned to his home at Fayette,
Monday, May IL and abused his
wife. He was arrested and the
case is now in the courts. Re-
ports direct from Fayette by
wire, indicate that Mrs. Patter-
son is not near to death from her
injuries and that there was nc
mob gathering to hang the
prisoner. AS the affair hap
pened two weeks ago, it appears
that this must be the true re-
port as if it were as first report
ed the city papers long ago
would have worn the story
threadbare but no mention was
made Of the occurrence.

as can be learned. the one night
stand here was the last stand.

Boy Hike to Canada

About Z p. m. Monday two
young men, a horse and a box
wagon wandered in to town
from the west. The men sold
postcards of themselves and
after getting a little money in
this way, drove on through town
and went into camp east of the
city.
The young men were Waldo
Wallis and Kerr Forman Of Kan
sas City who started on their
$500 mile walk. They had COW
cred more than a hundred of it
on the five or six days they
have been out of Kansas City.
They arrived here rather tired,
walking in the muddy streets
and were ready to go into camp
when they reached the right
spot.
The boys told some kind of g
story about having been working
inside a building a long while
until their health suffered anG
and that they had started tt
walk to Montreal, Canada anC
home again to improve theil
health. They expected to com
plete the trip in about six months
They carried their camping out
fit with them in the wagon. Tht
boys did not look like people
who were suffering invalidisn
and the pranks look more like
trip for the novelty Of th'
thing than anything else. The!
were in Salisbury at noon Tues
day camping in a yard.

MACHINE PULLS sTUMps
Judge Rucker Enjoys Vaca-
ton Working on the
Farm.

Judge Rucker and a stump |
puller made at Centerville, Iowa,
are working havoc with the
stumps out on the Apologize
farm near the Wabash station.
Monday they were working in
the field just west of the road.
where corn was planted amidst
the stumps last year. This year,
they decided to pull the stumps
out.
The stump-puller is a rather
insignificant affair, small in size,
but so arranged that it has a
wonderful leverage sufficient to
pull from the earth white oak
stumps nearly two feet in diam
eter above the ground. This
means the tearing out bodily of
these hugh masses of yards of
earth and roots and bringing
them out onto the surface of the
earth.
Judge Rucker had at work a
white man, three negroes, three
horses and the stump machine.
The machine was principally a
windlass of small diameter of
steel, with one-inch wire cable.
The Joke was to get the cable
around the stumps just above
the ground, then adjust the pull
leys and start the team around
and around the windlass. The
horses kept going and the roots
underneath the feet of a specta-
tor ten or more feet away hlgan
to break, the jar being easily
felt. Then the earth and roots
of the tree began to rise into the
air, steadily and massively.
There was nc escaping the Srasp
of this little Hercules and each
root succumbed as its time came.
It is slow work getting the
roots out this way and tons of
earth come up with the roots.
Judge Rucker says he will have
to get the dirt out of these roots
unless it slakes away itself to fill
up the holes left by pulling the
roots out. Otherwise, the field
lis pock-marked with the gigan-
tic pits caused by pulling out
these stumps.
There are some of the laagest
oak stumps that will be dyna.
mited before the puller is put to
them. AS a dentist sometimes
splits a tooth to break the grasp
} around tn jawbone, so these gi.
lgantic stumps will be split so the
grip of the roots on the earth
will be loosened aud they will
! be reader victim to the little
giant of a windlass. A scrapel
will follow the pulling out Of
these roots and with the scraper,
the level of the field will be once
: more ,readjusted. The land is
good but it requires labor and
money to get it cleared for pro

STATE AID FOR SCHOOLS
This County May Get APP
proximately Sum of
$SS2

A recapitulation of the recent
tax levy for school purposes in
the rural district shows that this
county will get approximately
$882,in aid from the state for
the maintenance of it's country
schools under the provisions of
the Carter-Br law which Of
fers state aid to certain districts
when it is necessary to guarantee
each district 8 months of school.
Many districts that needed the
aid did not levy sufficient to Sc
cure it while others were wealthy
enought that the usual levy pro-
vided sufficient funds without
the state aid. There are other
sources from which there will be
obtained about $1,000 state aid
to the schools, that being in ex-
cess of the amount received for
school purposes last year in the
county. Under the state aid law,
many counties will receive SIS, ,00O
or Sc, 900 in aid under the S. B.
122 and it is a source of regret
to the county superintendent
that the districts in this county
did not put forth a greater ef-
fort and receive more aid than
they did. The districts which
levied the maximum of 65 cents
on the $1OO and which had g
valuation of $50, 1000 or less giving
them the benefit of this law, to-

IN THE MAYORS COURT
MiSdOerS and Peace Shatter-
ers Fined by His
Honor

Saturday was a busy little day
in the mayors court. 1t smacked
of the time when the city's head
had a big time every Saturday
when the violators of the city
code were hailed before His
Majesty and touched up for the
sum of ST.. 90 upward and costs.
Chronologically speaking o f
events, the first case was against
Edgar Wilks, who about noon
Saturday, had a scrap with Mr..
Simmons, the tailor. The trouble
arose over what Wilks alleged
Simmons said about him. Wilks
accosted Simmons who started
upstairs to his shop. Wilks
grabbed him by the coat tail and
yanked him down. The scrap
ensued. Simmons went down
twice and once, in going down
swung a bucket, skinning Ed
gar's nose. Edgar's right hand
also went out of business for a
few days as result of one
of his swings on his oppon-
ent. The exercise cost Wilks
S1.O0 and costs, assessed by the
mayor.
The city marshal Saturday
evening raided a crap game in
the basement under the Hill
building south of Bridge street.
Four negroes, Alex. Harris,
Ephraim Martin, Jim Swetman
and l. Page were taken before
the court and charged with be-
ing drunk and disorderly. They
were told to walk a chalk line
and given the other tests COM
mon to those thought to be
drunk. They all walked pretty
we'll. They were fined $1.00
and costs each for talking too
loud and the mayor granted a
stay of execution in each case
pending further infraction of
dignity and peace of the people
of Keytesville and the state in
general.
Hamp Drew and Jap Hayes
mixed it in c. L. Whites grocery
store Saturday evening. Hayes
was taken before the mayor and
fined $1.O0 and costs. This
scrap took place about 5 p. m.
Jack Peterson was discovered
to be drunk and was taken be-
the mayor who in the laws
name fined him $1.00 and costs
for this diversion.
). Joe Robinson had the officers
come for his grandson whom he
complained of and after the Of
ficers had taken their prisoner
Robinson refused to press the
charge. The mayor thereupon
, dismissed the case.
There was a fight involving
some negroes Saturday night
, and a physician was called to at
tend one Jim "Bitin' Dog"
Woods who was thought to have
a broken leg or something as a
result of his martial stunts. The
physician was called about 1890
a. m. Sunday and examining
, Woods found he was unfractured.
1t is reported sotte voce that the
, physician was so annoyed by the
circumstances that he gave his
: patient a cordial boot before he
, left.
, The mayor attended to John
Martins case and fined the
husky brunette the sum of five
iron men and costs.
