ward without fear.
Speaking of heat, Colonel Welsh
delved into the bureau's treasury of
weather lore and brought out a remi
niscence of 1901, wl.cn the record
breaking stretch of heat occurred.
This stretch lasted the traditional
forty days June 23 to July 30. Dur
ing that time there were forteen days

A Volume of Truth
in fact, many volumes would be required to tell
of the purity, deliciousness and satisfaction that
goes with every ration of the famous whole wheat
and barley food, Grape-Nuts.
Whole wheat is sweet, but when malted bar
ley is added then comes a nut-like flavor more tasty
and satisfying than is possible in any food made
of wheat alone. But the barley does more than
heighten the flavor it gives this food its great
digestive qualities
It is a fact that Grape-Nuts supplies, as does no
other food in such splendid proportion, all the nu
triment of the grains, including the vital mineral
elements often lacking in the daily diet, but which
are imperative for mental and physical vigor.
Grape-Nuts is especially processed, for easy
digestion and yields a wonderful return of sturdy
brain, nerve and muscle energy.
v Grape-Nuts is always ready to eat just tilt
the packet and add cream or good milk a deli
cious dish, richly nourishing and highly satisfying.
"There's a Reason"

Grape-Nuts

Hay Coming Into 1
Omaha Market Is .
Of Poor Quality
Hay coming into the Omaha mar
ket through the new Omaba Hay ex
change is thus far of a rather poor
quality. This is due to th fact that
it is early in the season Much old . -v
hay is coming in that has been ,
partly spoiled, and the new hay is
largely improperly cured for th long' -shipment
on cars.
Especially is this true of the new"..-'
alfalfa coming in. Much of it has not,. v
been cured properly before baling.
In the tight bales there it a tendency
for the hay to heat and mould, -particularly
so where it is packed closely
in the cars. There is a. way to pack
it in cars to give it the maximum
amount of air, and circulars contain'
ing information as to how to pack
the hay nr rows," with bales setting
on end, have gone out to many of the , I
shippers from the hay exchange. " '
