SELECTING FOOD TO BRING
ABOUT CERTAIN
RESULTS

Farmers select certain food to brine
about desired results in their animals
but it is not so easy matter with
the complex machine called man, 20,
more highly organized woman.)
The food specialist, however, has
been at work, and in Grape-Nuls we
find n food containing delicate nat
ural particles of Phosphate of Potash
and larger quantities of albHmen.
These unite in the human bod "
forming the peculiar soft substance
which fills the cells of the brain.
Therefore, when one desires to use
food directly intended for BRAIN
building the food Grape-Nuts may be
depended upon
Fortunately it is one of the most de-
licious bits of food used b. mankind
the delicate sweet of Crape-Supar be-
ing of the most charming character.
All prominent grocers sell Grape-Nuts
and the Postum company, at Battle
Greek, Mich, make them.

Men Condemn Attempts to Divert Work
and Ask for Commandant's Retention.
At a mass meeting of Rock Island
arsenal employees in shop c at noon
today, the following resolutions pre-
pared by'a committee, appointed for
the purpose at a previous meeting, as
heretofore referred to in The ARGUS,
were adopted:
Whereas, 1t is currently reported
through the public press of the coun-
try that there will be an effort made
to close Rock Island arsenal by di-
verting work now done here to other
places, and also to remove the pres
ent commanding officer, Maj. S. E.
Blunt, and
Whereas, In our opinion, such
action would be detrimental TO our
own interests. the interests of the
government and of the country, it IS
therefore
Resolved, That such utterances
do not voice the sentiments of the
employees of this arsenal; that we de-
nounce all attempts to close the arSen-
al or to divert work from it as striking
at the occupations of more than 1, 100
employees, and as subversive of the
interests of the country; that we ap-
prove of the conduct of the arsenal
affairs under Maj. Blunt and have
confidence in his integrity and ability.
and ask that he be retained in his pres
ent position.
Resolved. That copies of these
resolutions be sent to r. A. Alger,
secretary of war, and to Congressman
Prince and Lane and to the press for
publication"
One member of the committee
brought in a minority report, depre-
eating any move to take work away
from the arsenal, and expressing the
belief that a speedy decision by the
secretary of war upon the evidence
submitted by Capt. A III. Russell
would bring about an early settlement
of the existing difficulty.
