"A telegram to the Register from
Charleston. w. Va, gives information
OF the issuance of a charter by the
Secretary of State to the Wheeling Can
Company The authorized capital is
100000, of which sum $500 has been
paid in, and the incorperators are n.
E. Whitaker, A. C. Whitaker, Alex.
Glass, o. j. Johnson and George A.
Laughlin.
While it was impossible yesterday to
get any definite information concern
ing the plans of the Company, it is
understood that it is is the intention
to engage in the manufacture of tin
cans on an extensive scale. The GER
tiicate of incorporation indicates that
the company may also engage in the
manufacture of other metal vessels. Mr..
johnson is a Chicago capitalist, and it
is understood that he is thoroughly ia
miliar with the business in which the
company is about to engage. The new
company is said to have its site select
ed, and to be ready to proceed with the
work of erecting the necessary build
ings and securing the needed machinery
in the immediate future.
1t is generally known that the tin
can trust is big enterprise, as the
number of tin cans annually manufac-
tured and used is enormous, and is con-
stantly increasing. The tin can trust
is very closely identified with the Amer
lean Tin Plate Company.
The Whitaker plant, with the Wheel
ing Corrugating Company, have refused
all overtures from the trusts and are
conducted Independently. 1t is fair
assumption that the tin Tor the new
industry will be supplied by the Whit
aker Iron Company and the Wheeling
Corrugating Company. Further details
concerning the plans Of the new COM
pany will be awaited with considerable
interest.

The Minister'S Wife Was Right.

The Minister'S Wife Was Right.
When a baby's life can be saved by
food it is worth while knowing some
thing of that food.
A minister's wife, name given below,
writes: Il do not exaggerate in the
least when | say that have never yet
seen a picture of the starving babies
of India that looked as bad as our
baby did. The skin was drawn as
tightly as possible over her little
frame, and was almost black. Her
little form was so shrunken that it was
pitiable to look at. Her bright eyes
only showed that she was alive.
She was starving to death, for every
thing she ate was Immediately thrown
off from her stomach. We tried every
kind of food we could think Of and
only kept her alive by rubbing olive
and cod liver oil into the pores of the
skin.
The doctor was doing all he could.
but finally we sent for an uncle, an old
physician, to come and see her. The
doctors agreed perfectly. but uncle ad
vised us to use Grape-Nuts Food.
We Immediately got some and placed
a spoonful in some boiling water.
This was allowed to simmer until the
food became perfectly soft. A little
rich milk was added, and just enough
sugar to sweeten. 1t made a delicious
food, and it was stonishing how per-
fectly 1t agreed with our baby and how
she did lick it down.
She would not drink milk unless it
had Grape-Nuts Food in it thereafter
After few days she began to show
marks of improvement then she i'm
proved very rapidly. When we began
feeding her Grape-Nuts she weighed
about 10 pounds. now she weighs over
80, and is almost as broad as she is
long.
Our friends all think it miracle
that she recovered. While / am writ
Ing this letter, one of my older girls
has just come up. begging for some
Grape-Nuts and cream.
We naturally believe in Grape-Nuts
for it has saved the life of our baby. :"
