SOUTHEAST IMPROVERS
AGREE UPON A GRADE
Dellrerr of Mall, fw School lloose
and Other lnelona Come t'p
for Consideration.
Members of the Southeast Improvement
club In session last night at Ninth and
Bancroft streets, agreed on a grade so that
Ninth street may be graded from Ban
croft street south. This action was
strongly urged by Councilman Ixmis Berks
of the First ward.
The condition of the Bancroft echool also
roused considerable discussion, and It was
the unanimous opinion of the club that the
present building must not be added to. but
condemned and a site for a new building
bought at Bancroft' and the Boulevard,
about a block "end ahalfat of tne old
location. C. E. Parsons.' a member of the
school board, was present and promised his
aid in the carrying out of this project.
The club also decided to make an effort
to obtain a more prompt distribution of
mill in that section, claiming that mall
for that part of the e'ly is sometimes
twenty-four hours late when It Is delivered
and that the service la not satisfactory.
A committee consisting of R F. Williams,
chairman. Louis Berka and John Brandt
waa appointed to call on Postmaster
B. F. Thomas and see If mall for . that
portion of the city could not be delivered
direct from the new poatofflce station at
the Union depot, and thus save the long
and roundabout way at present employed
Fully sixty members or the club were
present at the meeting. Seventeen new
members were added to the club member
ship during the evening.

Most Children
Are Wheat-Hungry
Nearly all children have wheat-hunger
a craving for the body-building
elements found in the whole wheat, the
most perfect food given to man his
"staff of life" for four thousand years.
The whole wheat contains all the
elements needed to build the perfect
human body. This cannot be truth
fully said of any other cereal It is
through the shredding process (pat
ented and owned by The Shredded
Wheat Company) that the whole
wheat is prepared in its most digest
ible form.
By this process all the tissue-building
elements in the whole wheat are re
tained, while the outer, or bran, coat
is scattered along the shreds in infini
tesimal particles in such a way as to
stimulate peristalsis (bowel exercise)
in a natural way.
Give a child two Shredded Wheat
Biscuits every morning with hot milk
and a little cream and he will be fully
satisfied and will lose his taste for
mushy porridges that are usually
bolted down without chewing.
You can't build sturdy boys and girls
out of books and sermons. Their
bodies must be developed from the
food they eat Shredded Wheat is
an ideal food for them to study on, to
play on, to grow on.
Shredded Wheat Biscuit with hot
milk or cream makes an ideal break
fast for school children and is quickly
and easily prepared. The porous
shreds of cooked wheat combine natu
rally with all kinds of fresh or stewed
fruits, making a complete, Wholesome
meal Your grocer sells them.
TR.ISCUIT la the SHredded Wheat wafer a crisp, tasty, nourishing whole
wheat Toast, delicious for any meal with butter cheese or marmalades.
Always toast it in the oven before serving.
