GONE TO BEAR HEAVEN
BY TIIJ5 MUSHY FOOD ROUTE
i
Borne little Johnny bears ate too freely of pasty, undercooked oats and
wheat got more ' starchy food than they could dlest.
One had appendicitis and the other bowel trouble. They learned too late
that pasty, starchy and half cooked cereals, added to white bread, potatoes and
other starch food, makes more starch than the average man or woman can di
gest. Then follows ' starch Indigestion," well known to physicians and a very
common complaint. ,
If the food is not changed, serious bowel complaints set' up and all too
often appendicitis follows, directly traceable to' irritation and disease caused by
undigested starch.
These facts caused the invention of
GRAPE - NUT
In which the starch of .Wheat and Barley is transformed by scientific cook
ing into sugar (shining on the outside of each little granule of Grape-Nuts).
One can have the delicious ready cooked food, enjoy it, obtain the value and
energy of the corbohydrates and yet not in the least tax the digestive organs.
Don't let any one deceive you by saying the stomach and bowels net! hard
and indigestible oats and wheat to give' them exercise! ! ! !
They get too much exercise usually with the other food.
'ever fear that the organs of digestion will get weak FROM LACK OP
EXEKCISE.
Tax them a little further than you are doing at present and you may join
the Johnny bears, with ears in the daisies and feet to the stars.
There is sober fact worth careful thought in the tremendous mistake made
in the selection and use of indigestible food. v
Bodily health and increased strength follow the use of
GRAPE
Solid proof of its
There's a reason.

Now that the state encampment of the
National Ouard Is over some rather amus
ing Incidents are being recited. The mem
bers of tha hospital corps out of Lincoln
had some strenuous times covering on foot
the fifty-some odd miles between here and
York. .The company left here Tuesday
morning and was to report'at Tors; early
Thursday morning. It reported there all
right Wednesday, Tuesday and Thursday
but not In person until Thursday noon.
Then more dead than alive, for every man
of them brought a half acre, mora or less,
of good Nebraska soli In on his feet.
It began -to rain soon after tha boys
started and kept It up all the way. At
Mllford tha boys were tired, very tired.
They telephoned to General Culver, who
during this tlma was seated In his tent
high and dry on tha battlefield.
"How long may we rest?"' was the query
fired at tha gcueral over tha long-distance
telephone.

"Toil may proceed by the most direct
route to rest for fifteen minutes," cams
the answer back. Tha men rested. Then
they started.
At Beaver Crossing tha query waa again
fired at tha general and again ha mag
nanimously granted the tired boys a little
time to sit down. I
This conversation was repeated at every
telephone and every time tha boys were
given from five to fifteen minutes In which
to scrape mud and get a deep breath. When
they arrived at York each carried besides
tha regular paraphernalia the makings of
a good farm, a drenched skin and soaked
clothing. General Culver has not yet re
turned. Teamsters to the Rear.
Soma time ago a number of teamatera
belonging to the Teamsters' union and em
ployed by tha Sullivan Transfer company
went pn a strike. Just what has become of
the strike no one seems able to tell. At
the bam today It was stated that the men
had returned to work, finally accepting tha
terms of the employers that they have
regular monthly pay days Instead of weekly
pay days, for which tha union had con

tended. Another party said that no settle
ment had been made.
In the meantime tha teamsters took the
stage again In arranging the lineup for the
Labor day parade. Tha teamsters had been
assigned to the tenth place In the arade.
They then announced that they would have
20 or $no wagons and outfits In line. This
caused a general burk-up In the rear. The
result waa a meeting of the Central Labor
union, which decided that tha teamsters
would walk or bring up tha rear end of
the parade. '
Toanty Wants tha Fees.
In the supreme court today County At
torney Caldwell filed a brief in support of
his contention that Paul H. Holm, for
merly register of deeds, should account to
tha county for fees ha received for cer
tifying to 224 liquor license applications at
$3.60 each. In tha lower court Mr. Holm
won out.
As a result of tha war on tha milk deal
era by Food Commissioner Thompson and
on the druggists by the police nine com
plaints were filed against tha milk dealers
this morning and U. J. Johnson, a druggist,
was arrested and haled before tha police

never more promising on September 1
Thmiannria nf ncres have TtaSSed the' TOaSt
Ing-ear stage and much of It la dinted and
silks and tassels are dry. Some fields are
not aa thick as they should be, owing to
the young plants having Deen wasnea out

NORFOLK, Neb., Sept L Spec!al.)
August Burg, the Swedish stonemason who
ao suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
from Norolk Saturday eight and for
whom both tha police force and a posse
of his friends kept up a constant search
during many hours,' has been located. Ha
waa seen yesterday morning by a Norfolk
man at Winstde, Neb., standing on tha
platfrom of the railroad station and gas
Ing off in an abstracted manner into the
distance. He bought a ticket for Sioux City
and haa probably gone Into Iowa. It la
thought that he Is 'Insane and that lie
merely wandered out Into the country aim
lessly and without a definite end in view.
H. Kauffmann, a Norfolk man who works
near Wlnslde and who was a fellow laborer
of Burg's for several weeks this summer,
recognized the man, but knew of no search
that was being male for him and there
fore did not speak to him. Burg had sev
eral hundred dollars In his pockets when
last seen here and the foul play theory
was the only way of accounting for his
disappearance. Burg would have received
$50 more in wages on Wednesday. He haa
a wife In Sweden and la 40 years old
Beet Prospect s Good.
NORFOLK. Neb., Sept l.-j(Speclal.)-Prospects
for good sugar beets and con
sequently good beet sugar at the Norfolk
factory thla fall are excellent and the In
stitution now anticipates a long run.
"The recent heavy rains have not hurt
us at all," said E. H. Gerecke, agricultur
ist, this morning. "The beets have had a
steady growth throughout the summer and
from that fact the abundance of moisture
haa not been able to injure them at all.
All through northeast Nebraska, which la
the country tributary to this factory, the
roots are looking fine and are growing
right along. Nineteen beeta were tested
at tha factory yesterday and they contained
on an adverage over 11 per cent of augar
The percentage required for grinding up is
1$ and two weeka more will easily put on
the additional amount of sweetness. Tha
factory Itself Is now In complete readiness
for the running and every wheel can start
at a moment's notice. The big machines
will begin to make little white granulea
just aa soon as the beets are ripe enough
and the run will probably last until about
Christmas time."
