April 2. 1866. they proceeded by the Rich

ON BRAINS
FOOD SPECIALIST BRINGS OUT A
NOVELTY.

A food expert at Battle Creek. Mich,
Linz, has produced a food especially in
tended for rebuilding the brain. 1t is a
we'll known fact among physicians that
examination of perspiration and urine
will tell whether the individual has been
using the brain or not.
Brain work eXhausts the ~phosphates
which appear in the eNcreta above men,
toned. Administration of inorganic phos-
phorus or phOsphateS does not readily
supply the waste, for nature demands
that phOSphates be made up and blended
in food which she furnishes. Advantage
has been taken of this knowledge and a
scientific selection of part of the grain
has been made, and these have been put
through mechanical processes parallel to
the processes through which food is pass
ed in it's management by the human d.
gestive organs. Therefore the new food
is not only ready to serve without cook
ing, but it has passed through the process
where the starches have been changed to
grape-sugar, and that with the proteids,
organic p~hosphateS, etc, are at once
ready to be quickly absorbed and turned
to use in vitaliZing and nourishing the
parts of the body like brain. solar plexus
and the delicate nerve centers.
The new food has been given the name
of Grape-Nuts, and far from being 4

anything of that sort, it is a crisp, sweet
novelty, charming TO the athlete, brain
worker, epicure, or invalid.

High Water Has Given Butte
Roads Much Trouble.
THE END IS AL MOST IN SIGHT
All Trains Will Probably be Running
on Schedule Time Tomorrow
--RailrOad Notes.

The cold wave which came 4S hours ago
probably saved the Montana railroads
many thousands of dollars. The warm
weather of Sunday had its effect on the
snow in the mountains, and every little
stream was a torrent. Much damage was
done, and much more would have been
done but for the drop in the mercury,
which railroad men, if no one else, are
thankful for. 1t has had the effect, in a
measure, of eXhausting the fury of The
floods hat are sure to come with the
warm days of the ~springtime. Had the
warm weather continued for a few days
Butte would have been tied up tighter
than she was during the A. r. U. strike.
The local officials of the Northern Pa
citic this morning that the
troubles of their road We're practically
at an end. The damage to the track in
the Yellowstone country has been re-
paired, and the ice gorging, which caused
the trouble, has practically subsidized.
After today the regular schedule will be
resumed. Three belated passenger trains,
two sections of passenger No. l and one
of No. 3, running as specials, arrived in
Butte between 9 and 1920 this morning,
and a fourth section is expected about 8
o'clock this afternoon.
The Great NOrthern's trouble is in the
Havre country, where freshets caused by
the melting snow have washed away and
damaged several hundred yards of track.
Yesterday a special was sent out from
Butte and the passengers transferred
from the west bound train which was tied
up at Havre. These passengers arrived
in Butte at 5 o'clock this morning, 80
hours behind schedule time. 1t will be
necessary to transfer passengers again
today and a train left Butte early this
morning for this purpose A large force
OF men is at work repairing the dam
aged track, and within the next 36 hours
the work will be completed and the Great
Northern ain running on schedule
time.
The Short Linz passenger train, due at
lis O'Clock this morning, did not arrive
until three hours later. The train ran on
the schedule until it arrived at Divide,
where on account of the damaged track
1T was compelled to travel at a low rate
of speed, and a short distance below Sill
YER Bow was detained an hour, while the
section men constructed a temporary
bridge that had been washed away. Mr..
Wilson, the general agent of the Short
Line, says the troubles of that road,
which have been less than any other. road
running into Butte, is over, at least for
the present.
General Agent Clifford of the local
office of the Union Pacific received tele-
graphic advice this morning to the effect
that the damage to that road had been
repaired, the work being finished at IL
o'clock last night. The most serious
washout on the Union Pacific occurred
at Edison, a small station west of Lara
ME, Wyoming.
