Antidyspepsia Diet.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America if the peo-
pie of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Govt is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations of the
young people of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway, says. Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article of food. 1t is made of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread, and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"

The short STEM Between.

Il was on an ocean liner when she

some years ago." said Philadelphia
travelling man, "and in the panic that
ensued there is one incident that stands
out in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had a fellow on
board who had managed to keep pretty
well loaded all the way across, and
when we struck the rocks he was fn
his usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure we were going to the
bottom, he sat down at the piano in
the saloon, and what do you suppose he
began playing? Home, Sweet Home
Somebody went to him and begged him
to stop. Immediately he switched OFF
from the doleful strains of the old song
to the rollicking melody of Down

thing seemed to strike everybody at
once. and general laugh followed.
The tension was relieved, and there
was good order after that."-Philadel

Away in sequestered little nook on

lage entirely managed by women. In

s1tions which in any other community,
whether civilized or not, are by estab-
lished precedent voted to man.
Langum has a race apart from the
world in its laws in its exclusion Of the
stranger and in it's utter disregard Of
the vast area of world and things lying
beyond its borders. Its quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors
-womankind and oysters. There are
men in LanHum, but they exert little
or no influence upon the affairs of the
quiet little Welsh village

tends to be. He recognizes the right of
womankind to own and rule and is per-
fectly satisfied to be described as An

He neithe. requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting of an evening at
his cottage door. with his faithful
brood playing around him, his wife

TOR AFTER CONVICT TRACY.
Fugitive is on the Goldhiil Trail
Body of Merrill Found.

TACOMA, Wash, July 16.-Oficers
ase hot after Tracy, who is on the
Goldhill trail east of Buckley. He had
breakfast with a logger named Clark.
He took the Goldhill route in. order
that he could secure rest, as he ap-
peared very tired.
A special from Chehalis says: The
body of David Merrill, who escaped
from the Oregon penitentiary with
Harry Tracy on June 8, has been
found. A bullet wound in the back re-
veals the nature of his death and sub
stimulates the story told by Tracy
about the duel in the forest. The re-
mains were in a somewhat advanced
stage of decomposition, but were still
recognizable.
The body of Merrill was found by a
Mrs. Wagner and her 12-year-old son,
of Napaxine, yesterday, and she will
claim the reward of $2,750. While
picking berries they discovered the
corpse thrown over log and damned
between two tree stumps a few feet
off the main road The indications are
that Tracy fired the first shot from be.

strange what sad things may be hidden

of their existence. The heart may be
gay and may send the smile mantling
to the face. but all the while you see

beneath were to give up their dead, the

STRIKE NEAR END.
FOUR RAILROADS SIGN WITH
CHICAGO FREIGHT HANDLERS.
Majority Of the Strikers Expected to
Return to Work Today-Teamsters
Ordered Back to PIaces-Neither
Side Claiming Victory.

Chicago, July 16.--With agreements
reached between four railroads and
their employees, the great strike of
freight handlers and teamsters, that
has paralyzed the industries of Chi.
cago for week, is apparently broken.
A majority of the strikers are expect
ed to return to work today. Some of
the radical unionists may refuse to &C.
cept the terms accepted by the repre-.
sentative committees, but apparently
they will be able to WELD but little in
f1uence with the majority of the strik-
erS.
A mass meeting of the freight han
dlers has been called for today and
upon the action taken at this meet
ing will depend the attitude of the
striking teamsters. Their national
president. Al Young, ordered them
back to work today, but if the freight
handlers refuse to declare the strike
of officially, some of the teamsters
may refuse to work. 1t Is conceded
that their officers exercise little abso-
lutte authority.
NSttnCT Que NIdIINS VICIOfys
The four railroads that entered into
agreements with their men last night
were the Lake Shore, Northwestern,
Nickel Plate and Illinois Central OF
the four the Northwestern and the
Illinois Central accepted the PROPOSE
ton made upon advice of the team
sters' board of arbitration. The
Nickel Plate and Lake Shore succeed
ed in getting their men to sign the
scale presented by the roads July 1.
Consequently neither the freight han
dlers nor the railroads claim a vic
tory. AS the employees of the Lake
Shore were the first to sign, however,
the railroads are expressing the great
est satisfaction over the break in the
strike.
The'freight handlers return to work
without having obtained recognition
of their union, time and half for
overtime or the adjustment of the
probation period. On the other hand
the freight handlers have obtained in
creases in pay, the smallest increase
being Is cents per day gained by the
truckers
While the signing of the agreements
breaks the strike it does not end it.
It is still in progress so far as twenty
of the twenty-four railroads in the city
are concerned. President Curran and
few of his supporters are still un-
reconciled and state that they will not
recognize any of the agreements.
Troops May Be Ordered Out.
If the teamsters still refuse to de-
liver or handle freight determined
effort will be made by business men
of Chicago to break the strike regard
less of their action. They have noti-
fed Chief of Police O'Neill and Mayor
Harrison that in case the police are
not able to afford them protection
they will appeal to the governor for
assistance and ask him to order out
the militia. The militia have already
received orders to prepare for imme-
date action. Governor Yates has
showed disposition to acquiesce in
the demands of the railroad officials
and the continuation of the strike
would doubtless see the state troops
parading through the streets and
guarding freight houses

the consideration of important sub

One of the important questions dis
cussed by the president and Secretary
Root was that relating to Governor
Taft's negotiations with the vatican
respecting the Philippine friars. Both
Mr.. Roosevelt and the secretary Of
war deem it unwise that the friars
should remain in the archipelago with
the prestige they now possess. Ample
assurance is given that the United
States will take strong ground in sup
port of its contention that the friars
must be eliminated from the Philtp-
