Il can now do an immense amount Of

1t is a well-known fact hat white
bread is almost entirely composed of
starch and his is difficult of digestion
by many people, particularly those who
have weak inteStional digestion. The
result of the use of much white bread is
a lack of brain and nervous power to do
mental work and it also creates intes-
final troubles, because the excess of
starch ferments in the intestines and
makes the conditions right for the
growth of microbes; whereas Grape

Concordia, Kans., Editor Warned Peo-
pie of City's Prices.

Atchison, May 19.-J. NJ. Hagaman,
formerly editor of the Concordia Blade
who left for Cape Nome, Alaska, two
months ago, to dig gold, being unable to
get a steamer, writes that he is dis
gusted with the exorbitant charges on
everything and advises those thinking
of making the trip to start from some
other point.
Hagaman had several thousand cir
culars printed at Seattle in which the
charges for transportation and supplies
are referred to as robbery, and calling
on h government to make Cape Nome
a port of entry to the end that the ships
of other nations may land passengers
and freight in competition with the al
legged Pacific coast transportation trust.
Hagaman was arrested for making
the charges, and his circulars taken
away from him.

1t always costs the state more to
punish crime than to prevent it. 1t
would pay the taxpayers to invest in
seemingly expensive institutions for
the training Of children into good,
honest citizens, rather than through
a foolish economy spend its largest
sums upon jails, reformatories and
courts. What is true of the cost Of
crime in one county is true of every
other county and OF every other state.
AS soon as humanity begins to spend
more in saving its children and less on
Furnishing them after they have begun
to be lost, so soon society will inevita-
bly, reduce the cost Of crime by reduc-
ing crime itself.

For ''trust" to absolutely control
the market for one of the necessaries
of life is absolutely impossible. Take
the case of the sugar trust. When it
did have things pretty much its own
way and was making big profits, the
attention of other capitalists was
drawn to this field for profitable in
yestment, The result is that there
are now three reiineries in New York
and one in Philadelphia that are OPP
Grating independently of the trust,
that prevent exorbitant charges being
made on the public for sugar, and
which have reduced by one-half the
dividends paid by the sugar trust. So
it will be in the case OF other large COR
porati9ns that may attempt to over
charge the people for the products
which they supply.

Prior to the adoption OF the protec-

ports were almost always less than the
imports, and by the time the protec-
tive tariff was established by the re-
publican party the balance OF trade
against the United States was more
than two billions Of dollars, counting
from the date Of the adoption OF the
constitution. Since tbe protective
tariff became a pefnIhnent feature Of
