ONE MORE SESSION WILL BE NECESSARY

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 22.-The State Bo.nl
of Aiwumrnt will have to hold another
meeting before the assessment for l.wni
la Anally made. A meeting ti held thla
morning and the minutes nf vtr
session read, so that each member rnuM
see Just how ha la recorded In the mat
ter. The board after a discussion of the
minutes Instructed Secretary Bennett to
draw up a resolution In accordance with
the statutes, containing the findings of the
board, and when thla is dene another ses
sion will be necessary to adopt thla.
During the meeting yesterday the board
trot tangled up In discussing a manner
of procedure. Dearie had suggested the
adoption of tha resolution containing the
finding of the board, which the secretary
had prepared. Mickey and Mortenaen both
objected to this because they wanted to
go on record favoring a higher assessment
of tha Union Paclflo and1 the Northwest
ern. After some discussion the board be
gan doing It Thursday's work all over
again and had fairly gotten started by
noon. After noon Searle moved that all
the work of the morning be expunged from
the records, and In explanation he said he
would next move the adoption of the reso
lution In accordance with the tentative
figures of Thursday. Mickey and Morten
aen, he said, could then move amendments
to Increase the Union Pacific and the
Northwestern and in that way the work
could be done in a very few mlnutea.
Mickey objected to thla and Searle with
drew his motion without It having been
put by the chairman.
When the secretsry complied the mlnutea
he Included that motion by Searle without
the explanation. Searle objected to this
-at the morning session and moved that his
motion be-expunged and his motion car
ried. The board la now where it was when It
concluded Its work last Thursday, ready
to adopt the final resolution. The valua
tion Is Just the same aa fixed on the In
formal ballot. -Tha value of the private
car ltneW'was fixed last year at the flgurea
returned by the companies, the attorney
general having held under the statutes
the board could not assess this class of
property on other than Its tangible value.

Food Authority
G r a
"In cases of slow digestion, lack of stomach
tone, and debility, this food is invaluable."
NOW FOR THE REASON:
The great bulk of human food is starch in some form bread, pastry, potatoes, rice, cereals
(such as oats), wheat, rye, barley, etc.
This class of food supplies "energy" if it be properly digested, but there's the rub. Starch
and sugar in food are digested by the liver and intestines. When these organs are overworked or
become weak, then the food is not entirely digested and lies in the warm moisture of the stomach
until it decays, producing gas, and therefore disturbance and incipient disease of the liver and in
testines and frequently appendicitis.
To meet this trouble Grape-Nuts food was invented. In it, the starch part of the wheat and
barley is transformed by long soaking, warmth, and time, into sugar just the same method as the
body employs in digestion. Hence when one eats Orape-Nuts he eats a predigested food, ready
for immediate digestion and assimilation, supplying the body with the needed food elements in a
soluble and delicious form.
THE LONDON "LANCET" SAYS:
"The features worthy of note In our analysis are the excellent pro
portion of proteld, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per
cent. The mineral matter was rich In phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts'
is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may mean. Our
analysis, at any rate, shows that It la a nutritive of a high order, uln.-ti
It contains the constituents of a complete food In very satisfactory and
rich proportion and In an easily assimilable state."
. The food is naturally pre-digested by heat, moisture and time. The diastase is thus pro
duced and the transformation of starch into sugar accomplished.
A perfect food for persons with weak intestinal digestion and who need, but cannot fully di
gest ordinary bread and starchy food.
For athletes, brain -workers, or the weakest babe.
iFor Infants, pour hot water over three or four teaspoonsful of the food, fee that wat er with a trifle of the food dissolved In it.)
