stores in the place. two banks and three
hotels were burned
The fire was under control at 4 o'clock
this morning. with the New Milford Ma

The fire started about $3.50 o'clock, in
the stables of the New Milford house.
The cause is unknown In ten minutes
the stables, the hotel and several small
outbuildings were in flames and the
railroad station opposite was in grave
danger.
The village fire department, which
consists only of hose company and
hook and ladder apparatus was unable
to cope with the flames, which spread
quickly to the Mygatt block. The Of

SAVES MILLIONS.
st. Paul Road Announces Re-
mOYal Of DifBerential.
Places Export Flour on a Level
With Wheat.
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW.
Millers Have Been Fighting For
This For Years.
Change VIII Mean Much to Kan-
sas Makers of Flour.
OTHERS Will FOLLOW.

Chicago, May 6.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road has placed
export flour on a level with wheat in
the matter of transportation charges.
This action. according to the Record
Herald, which makes the announce
ment, viii be followed by all western
lines with similar rates, and means u
saving Of millions yearly to the millers
of the northwest.
For years the millers have vigorously
contended that if the rates were made
the same on wheat ana flour grain
would not be taken from the United
States but would be made into flour
here and then shipped for export
Strong appeals for relief have recently
been made to President Roosevelt dl-
rect, to congressional committees ana
to the interstate commerce commits
sion.
The rate from St. Paul and Mime
apolis on both flour and export grain
is now 207z cents; formerly it was %
cents on flour. The rate Of 201z cents
applies to part lake and part rail ship
ments. From st. Paul the rate on flour
for export by an-rail is rs, and on
grain 1716-
Kansas millers have had the same
dineTential to contend with as north
western millers, and it has seriously in
Kansas mills. If Kansas roads follow
the example of the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul in throwing off the differ
entail it will mean great things for
Kansas millers. The additional rate
which has been placed on flour has
been just that much of an advantage
In favor of European mills.
The differential on Kansas -four has
varied from to z cents said Thomas
Page. of the Mid-Continent mills to-
day. 1T has operated to the injury of
Kansas mills, and If we can get it
thrown off it will have a tendency to
increase the milling business of Kan
sas, because then the wheat viii be
ground into flour before it is exported,
whereas now much of It is exported In
the shape of wheat and ground into
-four in European mills.
The past year the differential has
been as high as cents a hundred
pounds, which is a big item. With that
Z cents thrown off of the export rate,
Kansas mills could do a far larger ex-
port business than they do now"
Kansas millers discuss this differen-
tial problem every time they have a
meeting, but thus far they have been
unable to induce the railroads to give
them a rate level with the export wheat
rate. but they have hopes that the
other roads leading out Of the wheat
regions will follow the example of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul. With
the diffeTentisl thrown off they will be
able to lay -four down in Europe Just
that much cheaper than they can al
present which will doubtless give them
big lead over European mills. Al
present there is an immense amount Of
American wheat exported. It all be-
1t should by all means be ground II
the United States. The removal of the
dinerential will doubtless have thai
effect to a great degree.

PUZZLED.
Hard Work Sometimes to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is oftimes more ac-
curate in selecting the right kind Of
food to fit the body than that of adults
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says. "Our little boy
mas long been troubled with weak d.
gestlon. We could never persuade him
20 take more than one taste of any kind
Of cereal food. He was a weak little
chap and We were puzzled to know what
TO iced him on. One lucky day we tried
A5rape-Nuts- Well you never saw a
child eat with such a relish, and it did
me good to see him. From that day on
1t seemed as though we could almost see
him grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts
Tor breakfast and supper and I think
he would have liked the food for din
ner.
The difference in his appearance is
som n1ing wonderful.
My husband has never been known to
fancy cereal foods Of any kind but ne
became very fond Of Cirape-Nuts and
mas been much improved in health since
using It.
A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with the ricketts, I was
satisfied that the disease was caused by
lack CT proper nOurishment. They show
ed it. So I urged her to use Grape
Nuts as an experiment and the result
was almost magical. They continued the
GOOD and today both children are well
and strong as any children in this city.
and Of course, my friend is a firm be-
lever Ia the right kind of food, for she
has the evidence before her eyes every
day
When I have some task to perform
about the house and don't feel very
strong, saucer Of Grape-Nuts and
cream stimulates me and I am able to
do the task at hand with ease.
We are now a healthy family and nat
urally believe in Grape-Nuts." Name
