Doctor Habit and Grape Nuts End Health Woes
A Chicago family credits Grape-Nuts with ending years of doctor visits and a long list of ailments. The wife says the diet restored her health and energy to manage the home, while her husband reports stronger daytime meals during night work. The ad mentions Postum Co. and the slogan There’s a reason. Read the little Wellville. The passage shifts to La Crosse builders union matters and the Builders association stance on union versus non union labor and readiness to hire outside workers if a strike occurs.

Milwaukee orders 120000 tons of rails
The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railway places a 120000 ton rails order with Illinois Steel, a US Steel unit, costing 2500000 dollars. Much of it funds the St Paul Pacific coast extension with 140 tons to be laid this year. The lot includes 2600000 ties for the new extension, and material is scarce, prompting sourcing from six states as graders camps rise on both ends awaiting full construction.
