sustained by Grape-Nuts Food.

Captain Blackburn who sailed from
Gloucester, Mass, in a small boat 20 feet
over all, for Gloucester, Eng, in June,
1899, carried with him. by order of his
Doctor, a variety of different foods, also
a little oil stove to prepare them. Con-
spicuous among these foods the doctor
named Grape-Nuts.
when Capt Blackburn got to sea, the
weather was so stormy, and the water
rough. that he was compelled to stay at
the wheel the most of the time and was
unable to run his stove and prepare
food. He subsisted almost entirely on
Grape Nuts food which is ready cooked
and which he poured directly from the
little boxes into his hand or mouth.
ALTHOUGH weakened by the continued
drenching, fatigue, and exposure, he
made the voyage successfully, which his
physician says would have been we'll
nigh impossible, and probably entirely
impossible but for Grape-Nuts food.
Having found Grape-Nuts food so Won
derful in its fnvigorating and nourlshlng
effects, the captain, upon his return,
acting on the advice of his physician,
continued the use of the food. steadily
gaining in health and strength.
Cant Blackburn and the physician,
whose name is omitted as professional
courtesy "a well-known doctor in Glou-
cester. whose name can be given upon

Grape Nuts as the most perfect form of
food known and especially applicable to
the 11se of those who are subjected to
long continued exertions, fatigue. and

VAIN ATTEMPT TO END THE STRIKE.
STRIKERS Say Transit's Proposition Must be
Changed Before They Accept 1t.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Mo-. June 2.-DevelOpments
IN the strike situation today caused hope
10 bound nigh in the public breast and
IN many quarters confidence was eX-
pressed that the curtain was about tc
be rung down on the prolonged struggle
between capital and labor. But tonight
the word was passed around that the
cltlZenS committee, which has 1abored
SO zealOusly to bring about an amicable
adjustment OF affairs, had failed to con
sumate it's object, and again hope gave
way to bitter disappointment.
Early in the day the citizens commit
tee submitted a proposition for a settle
ment of the strike to Edward Whitaker,
President of the Transit Company and
to Ex-Governor William j. Stone and to
eX-GOvernOr William j. Stone, attorney
for the Railway Mems Union, the salient
point of which was that the railway
company should agree to restore to its
employment not less than five hundred
additional men within ninety days af-
ter the proposition is accepted. The
proposition further provided tha as soon
as the hrst thousand men have been
provided for, the company shall re-employ
as many more OF its former employees as
there shall be places for either by reason
Of vacancies that shall occur, or the
future extension Of the company'S bust
ness.
This proposition met with the entire
appreciation Of Mr.. Whitaker. Governor
stone called the strikers grievance com
mlttec together, and they went into Sc
cret session to consider the proposition.
The conference was a lengthy one, con-
tinuing until 6 O'Clock. After the ad-
Journment none Of the members of the
grievance committee would divulge what
had TRANSFERRED.
At the conclusion of the conference
Mr.. Stone stated that the cOmmmittee
mad made no progress. He said:
I'VE reached no conclusion because +!
desire some information that is absolut II
necessary before we can act.
Il can say, however, thai the PROPOSE
ton will have to be changed before we
can accept it.
Il desire to say hat the citizens com
did not succeed in securing from
the company the concessions that they
led us to believe they would secure. The
proposition as submitted does not go to

private property. The dOwnpour lasted
4S minutes and registered 2.7S inches at
the signal station. This is believed to
be the greatest precipitation for the
length of time on record. Ten minutes
after the rain begun. the streets were
hooded and twenty minutes later. hun
dreds of stores were a foot deep in water.
This will result in many thousands of
dollars damage, as the merchants had no
opportunity to get their goods to places
Of safety. A large portion of a roof over
the Wholesale grocery warehouse of Three
root Brothers,, gave way beneath the
weight of water and flooded the floors be-
