MEAT OR CEREALS
A Question of Interest TO All Careful
Persons.

The arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet on
the ground that they do not like to feel
that life has been taken 10 feed them. nor
do they fancy the thought Of eating dead
meat.
On the other hand. too great consump-
ton OF partly cooked, starchy oats and
wheat, or bread, pastry. etc. produces Sc
rious bowel troubles. because the bowel
digestive organs (where starch should be
digested), are overtaxed and the food fer
ments. producing gas. and microbes gen.
crate in the decayed food. frequently bring
ing on peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starch food is absolutely essential to the
human body. Its best form Is shown I'm

process OF it's manufacture. In this way
the required food Is presented 20 the system
in a pre-digested form and Is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without taxing
the digestive organs
A remarkable result In nourishment fs

Why in mental? Because the food contains
delicate particles OF Phosphate OF Potash

the albumen OF all food. and the ccnbina-

fact that can be easily proven by ten days.

CHANGE IN RATES.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Important
changes In the transpacific passenger tar
if will go into effect June 10. When the
Oriental Traffic Conference adjourned sine
die on last Friday it authorized a SUBJ
committee to overhaul passenger rates.
The committee has advanced the first-class
fare from Hong-Kong via Pacific coast
ports to london from s57 to f62. The
Suez lines are said to nave suggested the
advance of about f25. Rates from Oriental
ports to Pacific coast points have advanced
TO the basis of fares from this coast to
the Orient. The rate from San Francisco,
Seattle and other coast ports to Shanghai
and Hong-Kong has all along been s225
for cabin passage. From Hong-Kong and
shanghai to this coast Ii has been $lS5,
but II is to be advanced 10 $225. None of
the outgoing fares are to be disturbed and
all of the incoming fares are to be raised.
From Yokohama 20 this coast the new rate
will be $500. That is the outgoing rate.
Similarly the rate from Kobe to all coast
ports will be increased TO $207.50. The fare
from Nagasaki is to be raised to $2lS.
The steerage rate of $40 from this coast
creased. The amount of the increase and
the date II will become effective has not
been settled. The Storage rate from China
ports to this coast is TO remain at 800 Mex
lean. From this coast to Yokohama the
steerage rate of x5 will not be disturbed.
The rate of steerage business from Japan
TO this coast was fixed at so yen or about
SIS.
The committee. however. realizes that
the Storage rate from Japan must vary
and range below so yen so long as the
present tide of Japanese immigration to
the coast continues. Tramp steamers are
playing a most important part In handling
the immigration and they are making a
steerage rate of Is and 20 yen for lots of
200 and 800 Japs. In order TO get any Of the
business. the regular steamer lines. as rep
resented by the committee must make the
same fare as the tramDs.

soFT-NosE SHELLS.
Recent Experiments at the Indian
Head Proving Ground

WASHINGTON, May with one of the
soft metal capped shells OF American manu-
facture a six-inch naval rife yesterday
plugged a clean hole through a plate of
Harveyized armor fourteen inches thick.
The test referred to by Senator Tillman
yesterday was conducted several weeks ago
In the presence of navy and army ordnance
experts. A six-inch Krupp plate was used
as a target and the firing was from a six
inch rife. Ordinary armor-piercing projec-
tiles were fired at the plate, and, as ex-
pected, went to pieces on the target. Then
the same kind of shell, but with the new
cap was fired. This cap is known as the
Johnson soft nose. 1t is not pointed like
the ordinary army piercing cap, but has a
rounded end. The Johnson cap is called
soft because II is composed of a metallic
substance much softer than the plate, the
descriptive term being comparative only.
The theory of Its use Is that the soft nose
fiattening against the plate on impact Of
fers a comparatively soft substance for the
rest of the shell to strike, and with an en-
trance once obtained the projectile finds 1t
easier TO penetrate the plate. The cap Is
described as having the effect of lubricating
the rest of the shell. The firing piece was
not more than 1900 yards from the plate
when penetration was acquired, no attempt
to demonstrate the effect of the shell at
long range being deemed advisable at first.
Two shots were fired at the target with
projectiles fitted with the Johnson cap, and
both of these went through the plate. The
Krupp. plate was made for the Russian
bettleship being built in Philadelphia. The
United States government has not con-
tracted for any Krupp armor and cannot
get ii for experimental purposes from the
companies which make IL. While the test
was not conclusive on account of the fall
ure to fire at longer range. IL was enough to
show that the Johnson invention has given
the United States a decided advantage over
foreign nations in offensive naval strength.
Naval officers say it will do much to neu-
tralize the advantage possessed by foreign
navies that are protecting their ships with
Krupp armor. These officers add, however,
that IL does not dispose of the decided dis
advantages under which American men,
of-war with Harveyized armor would labor
Ia an engagement with foreign ships with
KrupD hardened armOr.

ernOr and Aid the National Ticket.
WASHINGTON. May 9.-It looked like
an "at-home' day this morning in the
neighborhood of the Cowles residence on N
street, where Governor Roosevelt is stay
ing. Through a drenching rain cabs and
carriages drove up n deposited callers,
who were ushered into the parlor where
the Governor was holding a levee. When
questioned as to the possibility of him be-
coming the Republican nominee for Vice
President Governor Roosevelt replied:
Really you'll have to excuse me. You
see all / have to say on that subject I've
already stated, and there is not a word to
add" He would say nothing more.
Governor Roosevelt was with the Presi-
dent about half an hour this morning.
Leaving the White House the Governor
said he really had nothing to communicate
and courteously declined to be interviewed.
Later on, however, a close friend of the
Governor and also of the President stated
that the President and members of the adj
ministration generally are in full harmony
with the Governors purpose not to allow
his name to be used in connection with
the Republican vice presidential nominal
ton. They were convinced that he could
do the party greater service in the cam
paign as a candidate for reelection as
Governor of New York than as a candidate
for the vice presidency. 1t was stated
at the White House after Mr.. Roosevelt
left that he had accepted an invitation
from the President to dinner on next Fri
day evening.
Governor Roosevelt tonight declined to
make any statement respecting his position
on the question of the vice presidential
nomination, saying that he had not talked
for publication on that matter since his
arrival in Washington.

President Holmes has positively stated
that he Will see the entire system tied up
