GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK

called GrainO. 1t is a delicious, nour-
ishing food drink to take the place of
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked
by all who have used it because when
properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in
furious properties. Grain-O aids di-
gestion and strengthens the nerves
1t is not a stimulant, but health
builder, and children, as well as adults
can drink it with great benefit. Costs
about one-quarter as much as coffee.

gion has more destructive influence on
the well-being and stability of mems
lives than the smoke laden fog of Lon
DON"
The average weekly rate OF mortality
during the prevalence Of fogs Is increas-
ed nearly twofold, Mr.. Thwaite de-
clares, and the deaths traceable to dis
eases Of the respiratory organs are more
than doubled. In persons Of advanced
age this rate Is increased to an alarm
ing degree. A few years ago a fort
nights heavy fog in London brought
the death rate to 40 per 1000, a rate
equal to the great cholera year. Not
only does an ordinary London fog
sweep away each day the population Of
an English village, but its effect upon
the moral stamina of the people Is de-
clared to be appalling. In fact, Mr..
Thwaite charges fogs with being the
cause Of most of the crimes and misery
of the city. He contends that the in
crease in the cases Of drunkenness dur
ing foggy days substantiates this state
ment.
The almost daily fog that hangs over
London weighs, according to scientific
Investigators, 300 tons, composed of
fifty tons of carbon and $50 tons of hy-
drocarbOn. The value of these COM
modities is estimated at f2,OOO,0OO.
The solution of the problem that Mr.
Thwaite suggests is to supply London
with gas generated in the coal fields of
South Wales, South Yorkshire and Stat.
fordshire. London consumes 1900, ZOO
tons of coal year. In transporting
this there is probably loss of 10000
tons, equal to f45,0OO. The cost of
transportation by rail Is estimated at
e., 900, and by sea FL ,566,0OO. The
profits of various merchants, middle
men and carriers and the loss in nitro
genous and other constituents Of the
coal bring London's annual coal bill up
to f9,5OO,OOO. All this, Mr.. Thwaite ar.
CUES, would be saved by the erection OF
gas generating plants In the coal dis.
tricts and the carrying Of gas by pipes
to London. Cheap coal gas could then
be supplied to every householder of the
metropolis.

Novel Plan IL Proposed TO Remedy
London's Great Plague.

b. II. Thwaite, G. E., f. G. s., author
OF number of books on sociological
questions, has been studying the smoke
problem In London and proposes a novel
remedy. Mr.. Thwaite says that, nat
urally, the London atmosphere is as
clear and pure and often as bright as
that of Paris. This, he says, is easily
shown at night or at early morning,
before fires are alight. Unhappily this
desirable condition is destroyed by the
fall of smoke that follows London 5
