BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The DIgestIng Element Left olt.

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t
affects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, aud starch is di-
gested in the iutestines, not in the
stomach proper. Up under the shell
of the wheat berry. Nature has pro-
vided a curious deposit which is
turned into diastase when it is sub
jected to the saliva and to the pan
create juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but
that part of the wheat berry makes
dark -four, and the modern miller
cannot readily sell dark flour, so
natures valuable digester is thrown
out and the human system must
handle the starch as best it can, with
out the help that nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis,
peritonitis, constipation, and all sorts
OF trouble exist, when we go so con-
trary to Natures law. The food
experts that perfected Grape-Nuts
Food, knowing these facts, made use,
in their experiments, of the entire
wheat and barley, including all the
parts and subjected them to moisture,
and long continued warmth, which
allows time and the proper conditions
for developing the dlastase, outside of
the human body.
In this way the starchy part is
formed into grape sugar in per-
fectly natural manner. without the
use of chemicals or any outside in
gradients. The little sparkling
crystals of grape sugar can be seen
on the pieces OF rapeNuts. This
food therefore is naturally predi-
gested and it's use in place of bread
will quick Y correct the troubles that
have been brought about by the too
free use of starch in the food, and
that is very common in the human
race today.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts
ten days or two weeks, and the dis
continuance of ordinary white bread,
is very marked. The user will gain
rapidly in strength and physical and
mental health.

PUSHES CANAL WORK,
Said Government Will Have the
Hennepin Completed in
Three Years.
FIRST SURVEY MADE IN 1910
Project Abandoned and Taken
Up Again in l675-How
Work is Done.
FIRST SURVEY MADE IN 1910

1t is acceptable news which comes
from those;who are on the inside of the
construction of the Hennepin canal.
That vast undertaking will be CON-
plete and ready for business in three
years, says the Sheffield Times.
The illinois and Mississippi canal
has been go long talked about, and
so very slow in building that now
when it is nearly completed people
are slow to believe the fact that three
more years will probably see it in
operation. At least this is the time
given by Engineer Bayiiss. who SAYS
the work could be completed in two
wears. 1t was over sixty years ago
that the canal was first conceived of.
In 1910 the first survey was made.
The canal was then planned as a con-
tinuation of the Illinois and Michigan
canal, which extends from Chicago to
La Sale. The plan was to utilize the
Illinois river from La Sale to Henne-
pin, thence to cut across the country
to the Rock river, about eight miles
above Milan, and down that stream to
the Mississippi, three miles bslow
Rock Island. The name given to that
enterprise, by the way, was the Hen
nepin canal, and the name has stuck
so that today the canal, which is being
built by the United States govern
ment, though officially designated the
Illinois and Mississippi, is popularity
called the Hennepin.
This canal, planned in 1910. was to

poser PASSES Away In New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Riehard Hovey,
the poet, Suddenly Yesterday after
noon OF apoplexy, in the post graduate
hospital. where he had been a patient for
three weeks suffering from cancer Of the
intestines.
Mr.. Hovey was best known for his Songs
of Vagabondia.' written in collaboration
with Bliss Carmen and as the translator Of
the plays Of Maurice Maeterlinck He was
born at Normal. Ills. May t. 1864. and was
the son of the late Gen. Charles T. HOvey
He was a Dartmouth College man Of the
class Of 81. Mr.. Huvey studied for Il
year in the general theological seminary
here after leaving Dartmouth and was
lay assistant in that time TO Father Brown

ing the pulpit after a year in the semi
nary and turned his attention to literary
work. becoming well known as a iOurn-
alist. actor. and dramatist

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Five days more

grain dealer, of 453 Fourth Avenue, will
have tasted forty days.
How do l feel? ! feel like a fighting

PUBLICITY FOR TRUST EVILS.
4 Rccommc for Detailed Re-
ports From All Corporations.

Publicity and equal treatment by trans
portation lines are the remedies proposed
I by the Industrial Commission for the evils
growing out Of trusts and great aggrega-
tions OF capital. The report which the
commission will submit does not cover ali
the ground gone over BY the commission,
but will be confined to the topics Of trusts
and transportation.
No recommendation is submitted for a
constitutional amendment to give Con
gress power to pass uniform corporation
laws as the commissioners believe that
Congress already has power to regulate
aud control corporations engaged in inter
state commerce. and all the great indus
trial corporations ard combinations come
under this head. II is recommended that
charters be required to state explicitly
the character of the business corporations
are going to engage in. and that no cor
pOration should be allowed to engage in
any business not provided for in its char
ter.
What the commissioners regard as their
most important recommendations are IN
der the head Of publicity" It is recon-
mended that corporations be required to
make regular reports that will show the
condition of their business: to allow their
Stockholders to have access to their book.
under proper regulations. and to issue their
stock in such form that an intelligent in
vestor can ascertain how much of il rep
resents real value.
II is recommended that each share Cf
stock shall be made to show on its face the
total capitalization of the corporation,
and just how much Of the stock is issued
for cash, how much for property and how
much for promotion" 1t is also recon-
mended that promoters of corporations
and others engaged in marketing their
stock should be held responsible for any
misrepresentation made.
Closely connected with the recommenda-
tions for legislation on the subject of cor
porations are the recommendations for
transportation, for they are intended TO
prevent any corporation or persons OBJ
tanning an advantage over competitors by
securing determinations in freight rates.
Congress is urged to increase the powers
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission so
as to give that body power to prescribe
freight classifcations.
1t is also recommended that the com
mission should have power TO fix the date
on which any decision II shall make as to
the reasonsbleness of rates shall go into
effect and that the decision shall then go
into effect without first being passed on
by United States court.
All decisions are to be subject to re-
view by the courts. as at present. The
only difference is that, under the present
law. a decision must be amended by the
court before it goes into effect and it is
complained that the railroads are enabled
TO so protract litigation as TO hopelessly
defeat the object OF the law.
