"RE0 CHEEKS"
'0ther Children Have. Why Not Yours?

The above comments occur in let
ter referring to proper selection of
food. from f. j. Wilson, 342 Hemlocl1
St, Allegheny, Pa. when our first
baby boy reached seven months. he
began to lose strength and grow pale
He could not digest any Of the ordi-
Larry baby foods or prepared milk
Acting on the advice Of a sister-in-
law who was bringing the roses TO The
cheeks of her two children, by their
diet of GrapeNuts food. my wife pur-
chased package and began feeding it
gradually to our baby. preparing il
with little hot water until il was the
consistency Of thick Cruel. She not
only fed it to the baby but herself
began eating it three times a day.
The transforms ton was wonderful.
Within a month the baby was free
from all stomach trouble and my wife's
strength was completely renewed, that
feeling of fatigue having entirely dis
appeared. Do not overfeed when
giving Grape Nuts food to the baby.
Other children have red cheeks, why
net yours?
This food is concentrated ana re-
quires less in volume than any food
known. Its delicious taste wins
friends and the remarkable effects
win the reason Of any thoughtful per

brain workers. but the effect upon the
nerve centres and brain is 50 valua bic
that ii can be used with even nursing
babes, to their very great advantage.

THE FIRST ADVANCE
Toward Settling Strike Made
by the Operators
Reading Co. Posts Notices ola 10
Per Cent. Increase.
Men Will Not Accept. Owing to Objectionable
Features Still Existing.

Philadelphia Sept. 30.-An offer Of
an increase of 10 per cent. in miners
wages was. today. inaugurated by the
Philadelphia q Reading Coal and Iron
Co, and this move. it is stated, will
be- followed. Tuesday, by similar no
tices at every cOlliery in the anthracite
region.
1t is expected by the operators that
this increase in wages will be salts
factory to the men and they believe
many Of the strikers will take advan
tage of the offer and return to work.
Mining operations will. in this event,
be given an impetus and the operators
expect there Will then be a gradual re-
eumption until the cOllieries Will again
have their fun complement Of employees
The Philadelphia & Reading Co. OPP
crates 80 collieries. OF these p have
been shut down owing to insufficient
working force.
Whether the miners will accept the
proffcr Of the company and return in
sufficient numbers to operate the mines
cannot be foretold tonight. Reports
received from several points in the
Schuylkill region where the Reading
collieries are located indicate that the
mine workers will follow the instruc-
tons Of their organizations officials
and remain away from the mines.
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers, received no notice of the in
tention Of the operators to offer the
increase in wages and the intimida-
ton is thus given that the miners or
ganization will receive no recognition
from the operators.

SIDNEY FAIR
Attended by Large Crowd De-
spite Threatening Weather.
Good Number Of Exhibits and Other
Interesting Attractions.
An Excellent Dinner Furnished The Hunqry BY
Grange Ladies.

Sidney, Me, Sept 9.-(SpeciaD.-To-
day has been big one for Sidney.
Everyone in town, and hundreds Of Wis
itors from towns and cities within a
radius Of a dozen miles, have spent the
day in the little square in front of
the Grange hall, and ii goes without
saying that everyone of them has had
good time-they always do at the
Sidney fair
Sidney has no fair grounds. like some
of her more pretentious sister towns,
where these autumnal round-ups are
held each year-in fact she doesn't need
any-but all she has to do from year to
year is to announce the date that the
town fair will be held and the people
do the rest Then the highway in front
of the Grange hall is roped off on either
side. the tOWnspeople bring out their
choicest products Of the farm and or
chard. the stable. tie-up. poultry yard
and piggery. and arrange them to the
best advantage offered the ladies fill
the hall with the wonderful creations Of
needle and rug-hook, the doors are
thrown open and the fair begins.
Just across the way is q space re-
served for the fakirs. and this feature
is an important adjunct to every fair
that claims in any way to be up to
date. Today, fakiTs' row was complete
in every respect. The same array Of
noisy eXhorters who have made the cir
cult Of Maine fairs. this fail, have done
a brisk business all day and have
reaped a silver harvest over on the
end of the row was the merrygo
round 1t was not the elaborate ar
rangcment seen at the other fairs driv-
en- by steam and possessing a hand
organ that could be heard a mile away,
but was evidently the original idea
from which the others have grown. The
motive power was man and crank
combined. ana the music was furnished
by man with a violin; but the result
was the same. and all day long the
Sidney youths and maidens swung
around the circle to their hearts con-
tent.
Then there was "Galatea." the base
ball and negro combination. Nose. the

kins and his heifer, which by the way,

upon its merits, and a complete array

THE READING CO.
T4les First Step Toward Settlement and
Offers 10 Per Cent. Increase.

Philadelphia Sept. 30-The following
notice bearing date of Oct. !. was post
ed. today, in the vicinity of all the col
neries Of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron Co, in the anthracite
region:
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Co, Oct. l.
This company will pay an advance
Of 10 per cent. on the wages of all men
and boys employed in its collieres This
advance takes effect, today.
(Signed) r. c. LUTHER,
General superintendent.
Beneath this notice another was
posted, which read as follows:
Fellow Mine Workers, United Mine
Workers Of America:
Do not pay any attention 10 this no.
tice posted by Mr.. Luther of the Phil
adelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Co..
but wait until you hear from President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
Of America or until you have decided
by your own locals what is right for
you to do.
(Signed) G. Il. POTTER.
Mr. Potter is an officer in the district
branch of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
The Philadelphia & Reading Go. adj
vance for the last half of September
and the first half of October had pre-
viously been fixed at per cent. above
the 80 basis. The advance Of 10 per
cent. offered in the posted notice by
the Reading is separate and distinct
from the natural scale increase and
hence the total increase to the miners
would be 16 per cent.

AMERICANS 10 WITHDRAW.
Orders Received by Chaffes and Cause Sen
sation Among Other Powers.

Tien Tsin. Sept. 2s. via Shanghai. Sept.
SO.-Orders from Washington directing the
withdrawal Of the bulk of the American
troops we're received. this afternoon, and
preparations to comply were begun I'M
mediately. Gen. Chaffee is here directing
the movement, which will commence NJ
the earliest possible moment.
1t is understood that the plan conteN-
plates leaving a regiment Of infantry,
squadron of cavalry and battery OF ar
tillery in Pekin to protect American IN
terests, and that the remainder OF the
troops will proceed to Manila.
The allied commanders had decided to
dispatch a combined land and naval ex-
petition to Shan Hal Kwan. on the gull
Of Lao Tung, leaving Taku. Oct !. ths
total land force being 400 The American
detail lad not yet been made, nor had
decision been reached as to the naval
forces. Now that the order to withdraw
has been received from Washington 1t Is
possible that the plans for the expedition
will have to be modified, so far as Amer
lean participation is concerned. Gen.
Chaffee. however. is proceeding on the
opposite assumption and has ordered the
5th Marine Battalion to prepare to 60
The United States armored cruiser

troops will go by water ana be ianded

The news of the American withdrawal
created a sensation among the represent
atives OF the other powers here.
