 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 to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat
 On the other hand, too great consumption of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat or bread, pastry, etc, produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs (where starch should be digested) are overtaxed and the food ferments, pro ducing gas, and microbes generate in the decayed food, frequently bringing on perl tonitis and appendicitis.
 Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body It's best form Is shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where the starch is changed into grape sugar during the pro cess of its manufacture. In this way the required food is presented to the system in a pre-digested form and is immediately made into blood and tissue, without taxing the digestive organs.
 remarkable result in nourishment is gained; the person using Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physical and mental strength. Why in mental? Because the food contains delicate particles of Phosphate of Potash obtained from the grains. This unites with the albumen of all food and the combina- ton is what nature uses to rebuild worn- out cells in the brain. This Is scientific fact that can be easily proven by ten days use of Grape-Nuts. Never eat beyond three or four heapng teaspoonfuls at meal.

of revenue. The railroads of the entire state are interested in the outcome of the matter. The board had ordered the eoun- ty tax assessor to make an assessmei1t of the depots of the railroads in this county and of the furniture of the depots, which he has done, and the roads came forward and set up that the assessor has no au- thority to make this assessment as this is included in the appraisement of the val- uation in the state railroad assessors assessment.
 The case is being fought out today be- fore the board of revenue of this county and able counsel are representing both sides of the case. The result is waited with much interest Should the board hold that the depots were not included In the valuation of A,OOO per mile assessed value of the roads, then they would be listed for taxation separately and would mean much to the state and this would take the case up to a higher court

TOM SHARKEY PUT JOE CHOYNSKI OUT It Was a SIugging Exhibition
 from the Jump. FINISH CAME IN SECOND Swift Punch in the Stomach Doubled the Californian Up, and During
 the Count the Sailor
 Danced Jig
FINISH CAME IN SECOND

Tattersalls, Chicago, H., May S.-Tom Sharkey tonight knocked out Joe Choynski of California in two rounds. The fighting was of the hurricane order, both men landing repeatedly but Sharkey had the fight well in hand throughout The knock out blow was left jolt to the jaw just as the bell sounded for the end of the second round. Choynski tried to respond when the third round was called, but when he att tempted to rise he fell over on his back on the floor and Rreferee Hogan awarded the fight to Sharkey.
 The men met for a six round go at catch weights Choynsh weighed about 16j and the sailor 1855. The betting ranged at to l that Choynski would not last the six rounds and even money that Sharkey would win on a knockout.
 When they came to the center of the ring in the first round Sharkey immed- lately started hostilities and did not give Choynski a moments rest for the entire three minutes, sluggng him all over the ring and knocking Joe down twice. Shar- key himself slipped down twice, near the end of the round from the force of his own blow, but finished the round in good shape. Choyns1i was plainly suffering from Sharkeys terrific body blow in the stomach.
 In the second round Choynski tried to keep away, but Sharkey kept coming per sistently and forced his opponent to make a stand. Choynski landed several stinging lefts to the marines face, but the latter paid little attention to the blows and kept boring in with all his strength. The blows Sharkey was landing were wearing the Californian down gradually and the latter was unable to protect himself in the ex- changes, but when sent to the floor he would not take advantage of the count but would jump up soon as he hit the floor. Finally Sharkey, in one of the mix-ups, got straight right to the stomach which doubled his adversary up. The sailor came like a mad man, and, lunging at Choynski forced his slender opponent on the ropes. Choynski tried to fight back but he was too weak, and after withstanding the hard est kind of punishment finally succumbed.
 Sharkey was well pleased with the result, and danced a jig as Choynski was being counted out.
 After six rounds of mediocre fighting, Jim Hall, the od-time Australian, was given the decision over Tim Scanlan of Pittsburg in one of the preliminary fights.
 Billy Stiff and Barney Connors fought six rounds to draw.

SLICK SWINDLER T AT LAST CAUGHT Was Detrauding Government by
 Forged Money Orders. HE HAD COLLECTED S5,400 Made a Written Confession Stating That He Had Stolen Necessary
 Blanks While in the Post
 office Department
HE HAD COLLECTED S5,40O

Cincinnati, May S.-By the watchfulness of Postmaster Reynolds of Covington, Ky, Joseph Brycheter a postoffice clerk at the Pullman station of the Chicago postofflce, was trapped into what hitherto had been a most successful swindle of postofice funds. Brychter has presented three money orders for $10O each to Postmaster Reynolds.
 The latter found the letters of address corresponding but noted the similarity of handwriting and determined to investi- gate. He told the applicant that the let ters of advice had not reached him. He immediately communicated with Postofice Inspector Betz and with his help he rested Brychter today at the Palace hotel in Cincinnati where he had registered May 6 with two young women E. Rheinhart, wife and sister Chicago.
 Brychter made written confession which revealed that he left Pullman late in April on two weeks vacation. That previous to doing so he made out three money orders for $1OO each and sent the corresponding addresses to the respective offices. As clerk in Pullman, in the Chi cago district, he had access to all depart- ments and by this means secured the nec- essary articles for his thefts, and had no trouble in obtaining the money. It was discovered late this afternoon that he cashed one set of three $100 orders at Cincinnati Another was cashed in the east including New York, Harrisburg and Camden, N. J., Brooklyn and other places. He admits having collected $5,400 in all and had just about closed the transaction when he met the trouble in Covington. He was remanded to jail for a preliminary hearing tomorrow.

OFFICERS IN MONTGOMERY

Montgomery, May S.-(Special) A con- ference of the officials of the Alabama National Guard was held in the adjutant- generals office today for the purpose Of deciding the time and place for holding the next annual state encampment.
 Those present were Adjutant-General Brandon Colonel R. P. Dumont of the First infantry; Colonel William A. Smith, Third infantry; Major D. T. Westcott, First artillery; Major R. S. Teague, judge advocate, Second brigade; Colonel B. l. Holt, quartermaster-genera Captain B. H. Kennedy, adjutant, Third infantry and Captain A. G. Forbes, First artillery.
 Nothing definite was decided at the con ference except that an encampment will be held during the summer, probably In July. Regimental encampments will be held, and it is not improbable that they will all go to the same city. Mobile or Birmingham will probably get the en- campment. Colonel Smith and Adjutant- General Brandon will meet Colonel Du-- mont in Mobile in the latter part of the week. The situation there will be gone over and some conclusion as to the place will no doubt be reached
 While out for drive this morning a horse being driven by Mrs. w. S.
