FEATURE8 OF THE STATE FAIR.
Cresceua Day Expected to be a Record
Breaker at the Show.
Tho coming of Crcsccus to tho state
fair this year will bo tho event in the
attraction line, and will make on the
day that ho trots against his record
a day in attendanco and Interest and
enthusiasm equal to the J. I. C. day
at tho fair Bomo fifteen yeare ago.
Every big day at tho fair each year
since tho tlmo that J. I. C. trotted has
been compared with that date, but
nothing ha'B over equalled the attend
ance on tho day when that wdcly ad
vertised horso trotted. This year
tho record of attendanco of tho J. I. C.
day will bo broken, on tho day that
Cresceus goea against his record. Ho
Is tho fastest trotter in tho world,
holding tho world's record, nnd to se
cure him for a day nt tho Nebraska
state fair this year was getting an at
traction that thousands and thousands
of people over tho Btato will appre
ciate and approvo by their attendance.
Lovers of tho races should remem
ber also that tho state fair manage
ment thla year has increased tho
purses for running, trotting nnd pac
ing to double tho amount of a year
ago. In other words this year $8,000
1b devoted to tho speed ring, besides
tho additional thousand dollars It
takeB to bring Cresceus here. This
large amount of money hung up in
purBes will bring tho largest number
of good horses to tho fair that ever
have been gathered at one time In
the history of tho exposition. It meanB
that every one of the five days com
mencing with Monday and ending
with Friday will have three strong
races and occasionally an extra raco
thrown in for good measure. There
will not bo a day of tho fair when tho
speed ring will not bo especially at
tractive and Interesting.
It was demonstrated a year ago by
tho attendance nt the races that the'
people appreciated good horses and
that they were ready to patronize that
feature of tho fair. This year tho
board of managers propose to give the
public who enjoy this feature the best
entertainment every day ever given in
the state, and there need be no doubt
but that the attendance at the fair
this year will bo- tho greatest In iti
history.

Chug! Chug!" and another occasion

GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.
The mon of to-day no matter what
hts calling, needs a sharp brain and.
to get this ho needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nervo power as well.
A carpenter and builder of Mar
quetto, Mich., who is energetic and
wants to advance In hla business,
read an article about food In a re
ligious paper and in speaking of his
experience ho said: "Up to threo
year ago I had not been ablo to study
or uso my thinking powers to any ex
tent. There was something lacking
and I know now that it was due to
tho fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
"About this time I began tho use
of tho condensed food Grape-Nuts and
tho result has been I can think and
plan with somo success. It has not
only rebuilt my brain until It is
stronger and surer and more ac
tive, but my muscles are also harder
and moro firm whero they used to
be looso and soft and my stomach
Is now In perfect condition. I can
endure moro than twice the amount
of fatlguo and my nights' rest always
completely restores me. In other
words I am enjoying llfo, and I at
tribute It to the fact that I havo found
a perfect food." Name given by Pos-
