BUSIN3S WOMEN
A Lunch Fit for a King
An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience
Some years ago I suffered from
nervous prostration induced by con
tinuous brain strain and improper
food added to a great grief
I was ordered to give up my work
as there was great danger of my mind
falling me altogether My stomach
was in bad condition nervous dyspep
sia I think now and when Grape
Nutsfood was recommended to me I
had no faith in It However I tried
It and soon there was a marked im
provement In my condition
I had been troubled with faint
spells and had used a stimulant to
revive me I found that by eating
Grape Nuts at such times I was re
lieved and suffered no bad effects
which was a great gain As to my
other troubles nervous prostration
dyspepsia etc on the Jrape Nuts diet
they soon disappeared
I wish especially to call the atten
tion of office girls to the great benefit
I derived from the use of Grape Nuts
as a noon luncheon I was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin
ary lunches and so made the experi
ment of taking a package of Grape
Nuts food with me and then slfpplng
out at noon and getting a nickels
worth of sweet cream to add to it
I found that this simple dish fin
ished off with an apple peach orange
or a bunch of grapes made a lunch fit
for a king and one that agreed with
me perfectly
I throve so on my Grape Nuts diet
that I did not have to give up my work
at all and in the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me
Let me add that your suggestions

NEBRASKA AS IT
SHOULD BE KNOWN
This paper was read before the Ne
braska Pi ess association at its meeting
in Omaha June 5-6-7 by Will M Maupin
of Lincoln Nebr
We of Nebraska should know and
knowing tell the world what Nebras
ka is and is to be what Nebraska
offers to the homeseeker the invest
ment seeker and the health seeker
what hidden potentialities for human
happiness lie dormant in her fertile
soil and what she is annually con
tributing to the sum total of the
worlds created wealth
In the beginning of this necessari
ly brief paper I want to say and say
emphatically that the last session of
the Nebraska legislature which per
formed many good deeds neglected
the ripest opportunity ever offered a
legislature to confer a lasting benefit
upon the state I refer to its failure
and neglect to make the initial ap
propriation for a Bureau of Publicity
and Immigration There was no
reasonable ground for opposition to
the measure no reasonable objection
in economy In fact there was no
opposition to the bill But unfor
tunately it did not offer opportuni
ties for log rolling and trading It
had behind it the solid backing of
every enterprising organization in
the state of every wide awake man
who is anxious to see Nebraska take
her rightful place among the states
of the republic Butjbecause legisla
tion today has become largely a mat
ter of You tickle me and Ill tickle
you so largely a matter of trade
and barter this splendid measure
calculated to give us a start in the
great work of making the truth about
Nebraska known to the world was
allowed to die of inanition of mal
nutrition of sheer neglect And in
doing so the legislature worked a
grave injury to the commonwealth
States like corporations and part
nership and firms must advertise in
these strenuous days or fall to the
rear Constant persistent insistent
intelligent advertising is the keynote
of success in any business and there
is no greater or more important busi
ness than the building of a state
But there is a condition precedent
to Intelligent advertising The con
structor of the advertising must
know what he is advertising No
man engaged in advertisement build
ing can hope ever to know too much
about the business or the goods he
is exploiting It is all well enough
for the newspaper men of Nebraska
to claim that they are constantly ad
vertising Nebraska but the plain
unvarnished truth is that they are
not doing it as it should be done and
for the very simple reason that they
do not know all they should know
about Nebraska I have lived in this
state for a quarter of a century
longer by several years than the
average Nebraska editor I have
tried in my weak way to advertise
Nebraska to the world and I thought
for years I knew Nebraska pretty
thoroughly Something like six years
ago I began studying Nebraska from
a different angle Formerly I had
studied it from a car window or in
political conventions or by converse
with friends in my office Now af
ter studying Nebraska for six years
as any merchant studies his stock
any successful merchant I mean
I have just begun to realize that
what I knew of Nebraska up until
six years ago was as nothing and
that if I keep on acquiring knowledge
for the next six or eight years as I
have during the past six or eight at
the end of that time my knowledge
of this great state may qualify me to
emerge from the kindergarten class
and enter the first primary The
longest span of human life in this
age would not suffice to enable one
to graduate from the great school
wherein knowledge of Nebraska is
imparted
Merely as a basis upon which to
work Intelligently while you study I
purpose giving you some concrete
facts about our beloved state I will
not waste your time in detailing bald
statistics The average human mind
pan not think in millions Statistical
tables appeal only to statisticians
Columns of figures frighten and repel
the average man Because of this
I undertook while serving as chief of
the statistical bureau of the state to
present the statistics about Nebras
ka in a more attractive form than the
usual table of figures I hope I may
be pardoned if I lay claim to having
achieved some measure of success In
advertising Nebraska abroad I am
of the opinion that the crop statis
tics of Nebraska and all other statis
tics received a wider range of pub
licity under the plan I adopted than
they had achieved before One bul
letin of comparative statistics
reached a circulation of 70000 with
requests for upwards of 250000 more
And such great journals as Colliers
Leslies Weekly Munseys Magazine
and the Cosmopolitan to say nothing
of the great daily newspapers gave
free to Nebraska a measure of pub
licity that could not have been pur
chased with money
Now here are some facts about Ne
braska tersely told that will serve
as the basis of many a good adver
tisement of Nebraska
Nebraska was admitted to the
union in March 18C7 and is there
fore forty four years old six years
less than half a century All this
progress all this wonderful develop
ment has been wrought in less than
fifty years Civilizations history
records nothing like it
Seventy seven thousand square
miles of territory 415 miles east and
west and 205 miles north and south
Forty nine million acres eighteen
million acres cultivated Upon these
eighteen million cultivated acres Ne
braska in 1910 raised upwards of
400000000 worth of grains and
grasses Of thethirty million uncul
tivated acres more than one half are
just as good for corn wheat oats
rye barley alfalfa potatoes broom
corn etc as the eighteen million cul
tivated acres and one half of the re
maining acreage will in time under
intelligent cultivation and proper
knowledge of the conditions to be
met be added to the wealth produc
ing area It took Nebiaskans more
than a quarter of a century to learn
that they could not adapt Nebraska
soil to the Nebraska man Then
came the most wonderful discovery of
the age the discovery that by adapt
ing the man to the soil Nebraska
could be made the greatest agricul
tural wealth producer in the world
Since that discovery every year has
seen hundreds of thousands of acres
of soil heretofore considered worth
less brought into cultivation and
yielding returns that are so astonish
ing that it is hard to make people be
lieve the truth There is room in Ne
braska for a half million more till
ers of the soil who will till intelli
gently Landseer when asked what
he mixed his paints with replied
With brains And there is no bet
ter fertilizer than brains
Nebraska is the fourth largest
corn producing state and the young
est of the three raising more corn to
the acre than any other state
Nebraska is the fourth largest
wheat producing state and the
youngest of the three raising more
wheat to the acre than any other
state
Nebraska is the fourth largest pro
ducer of oats and the youngest of
the four only one state excelling her
In production per acre
Nebraska is the third largest pro
ducer of sugar beets
Nebraska manufactures more but
ter per capita than any other state
and her dairy industry is in its in
fancy
Nor is Nebraska alone an agricul
tural and live stock state Twenty-
five years ago we shipped in prac
tically every manufactured article we
consumed Last year our total manu
factured products were approximate
ly worth 250000000 or almost one
half as much as our total of agricul
tural products and live stock Start
ling as it may sound there is no
state making such rapid strides in
manufacturing lines as Nebraska
There is a reason A dollar invested
in Nebraska manufacturing establish
ments brings a greater return than
a dollar Invested in any other state
But as I said early in this paper
the human mind can not think in
terms of millions If I say that in
1910 Nebraska produced 36000000
pounds of butter we merely smile
and say thats some butter But
youll probably sit up and take no
tice when I tell you that if all that
butter were packed in pound cartons
and the cartons stacked up end on
end it would make a column of but
ter two and one half inchs square and
285 miles high or if loaded into
standard freight cars it would make
a train over thirty miles long
In 1910 Nebraska hens produced
102000000 dozen eggs one billion
two hundred million eggs Placed
end to end they would reach once and
a half times around the world and
they were worth more money than
all the gold and silver dug out of
any one state in this Union during
the same year Imagine if you can
all those eggs rolled into one big
egg and then imagine a hen big
enough to be the author thereof
With one scratch of her foot she
could excavate enough dirt to make
a basement for a City National Bank
building and throw the dirt across
the Missouri river
Ever hear of King Cotton Texas
is the greatest cotton producing state
yet her 1910 crop of cotton was not
worth as much as Nebraskas corn
and wheat crop by 30000000 The
total tobacco production of the Na
tion last year wasnt worth as much
as last years crop of Nebraska corn
and it wasnt our best corn year
either Pennsylvania is the greatest
coal producing state but her coal
output last year was not worth as
much at the mine mouth as the grain
hay and live stock of Nebraska on the
farmsteads All the gold dug from
Uncle Sams soil in 1910 wouldnt pay
for Nebraska corn and wheat in 1910
And mind you this with less than
one half her fertile soil under cultiva
tion and that less than half not yet
intensely farmed so as to produce the
maximum results
Let us load upon freight cars all
the grain grasses live stock butter
eggs poultry potatoes and sugar
beets produced in Nebraska in 1910
Would they make a train long enough
to reach from Omaha to Sidney Yes
and then some From Omaha to Salt
Lake Yes and a bit further From
Omaha to San Francisco Yes and
a little further Well how long In
order to get a main line track long
enough to hold that train it would be
necessary to bridge the Atlantic
ocean the English channel and the
Baltic sea With the caboose of that
train In St Petersburg the conductor
who carried orders to the engineer in
the cab would vhave to Walk and walk
and walk Until he reached an engine
that projected out into the Pacific
ocean fourteen hundred miles west of
San Francisco for that train would
be ten thousand and four miles long
In 1910 Nebraska with a population
of less than a million and a half of
people produced more from her soil
than Japan with forty million people
produced and purchased from other
nations The per capita of agricultur
al wealth nroductlon of Nebraska in
1 1910 was greater than that of any
other state Her two main cereals
corn and wheat were worth more
than the nations output of copper
her four main cereals corn wheat
oats and rye were worth more than
the nations output of iron ore her
butter eggs and poultry were worth
practically as much as the nations
output of crude petroleum her hay
output was worth more than Alaska
output of precious metals and he
baby crop worth more than the baby
crop of all the other states combined
You think you know Nebraska I
doubt if there is an editor here who
is familiar with the history the pro
ductivity and the resources of his own
county Nebraska a desert What
other state has as many miles of riv
ers within her borders Nebraska
has over 800 miles of Platte river
wholly within her confines And with
the Blue the Nemahas the Loups
Pine Stinking Water Republican
Salt and creeks too numerous to men
tion she possesses an undeveloped
water power that would rival Niagara
She ought to be manufacturing from
Nebraska grown raw material every
finished product that humanity eats
and wears and pretty near everything
that humanity uses using Nebraska
power and paying wages to Nebraska
workers
I claim that Nebraska with more
to advertise than any other state is
the least known state at home or
abroad of any state in the Union
Kansas spends 30000 a year in pub
licity and immigration work Missouri
spends 40000 a year Colorado spends
15000 a year Washington and Ore
gon spend 25000 a year each Cali
fornia spends a quarter of a million
Nebraska doesnt spend a dollar
Any wonder thousands pass us by to
invest in the higher priced and less
productive lands of the northwest
Any wonder that Canada is getting
some of Nebraskas best Any won
der that the Nebraskan in New York
who undertakes to tell some of the
real facts about Nebraska is laughed
at and set down as a chronic prevari
cator
Time that we made Nebraska
known to all the world High time
that we acquaint the world with the
marvelous improvement that has been
wrought within her borders in less
than a generation High time that
we let the world know that right here
in the heart of the once Great
American Desert we have builded
in less than a generation a state that
stands at the front in education that
stands at the front in wealth produc
tion per capita that stands at the
front in development of manufactur
ing that leads all other states in civic
reforms and accomplishes them with
out revolution and wholly by thought
ful study and intelligent progress
But before we can adequately tell
the world we must first know Ne
braska So this is the message I
bring you fellow newspaper men Let
us study Nebraska study her history
her resources and her possibilities to
the end that we may he fitted to ad
vertise our beloved state to all the
world for what she is the most pro
ductive progressive and pushing the
most enterprising energetic and en
thusiastic the most intelligent in
dustrious and inspiring in short the
ereatest area of productivity peopled
by the most progressive people in all
the world
This toast I give to you
Nebraska thet producer of the best
of all things of bad things the pos
sessor of least a state without a
bread line or a child sent breakfast
less to school with a future unlimited
and a past to be proud of a state of
homes and schools and churches her
greater development our duty her
bounty our sufficient reward
O the glories of Nebraska With her
fields of waving grain
With their promises of plenty neath the
summer sun and rain
Rippling wheat fast turning yellow for
tlie narvesi soon 10 ou
Rustling cornblades in the breezes mak

Billowed fields of scented clover curing

Sunny slopes and shaded valleys with
the clear streams rippling through
Over all Is peace and comfort not a trace

And to live in Old Nebraska is the great

O the glories of Nebraska Far abroad
her stores are spread
From the measure of her harvests are
the distant nations fed
Here within her wide dominions wrought
from stretch of desert lands
Is the greatest work of progress ever
wrought by human hands
Here within a generation we have
builded strong and great
On a deep and sure foundation a pro
gressive happy state
And at even resting llstnlng to the
childrens laughing call
Say just living in Nebraska is the great
est Joy of all
O the glories -of Nebraska Like an
Eden Garden spread
Filled with natures fruits and flowers
and a blue sky overhead
Like that Land of Milk and Honey that
the Israelitish spies
Said spread out across old Jordan to de
light their wondrlng eyes
Like olT Caanan seen by Moses as he
viewed the landscape oer
With that countrys richest treaures laM
before him and some more
O theres lots of Joy In living where tm

And to live in old Nebraska Is the great

O the glories of Nebraska Sing her
praises full and free
Wonderous rast thats but the promise
of the greatness yet to be
Pouring forth her wealth of products as
from Plentys Golden Horn
Filling all the worlds storehouses with
her crops of wheat and corn
Spread between the mighty river and the
Fairest land in all creation by the God
of Bounty blest
And from rose of early dawning till th6
long gray shadows fall
Just to live In Old Nebraska Is the great
