Than Our Own. Declares
Professor John Gray.
Chicago, Sept. 26.-After four months
spent in the investigation of labor un-
ions and their effect on productions in
England. Professor John X. Gray of
Northwestern university has returned
to Evanston. While he refused to give
out the specific results Of his mission
until his complete report has been
placed in the hands of the United
States commissioner of labor, Carroll
ID. Wright. he admitted that surpris-
ing new light would be thrown on the
subject by the statistics gathered
abroad.
"English Labor organizations are
much stronger than II own said
Professor Gray. THE members of a ul,-
ion in England hang together much
better, and there is less internal strife
to defeat the aim of the union. AS a
result these bodies are able to accom-
plish much more than their protnt,p pes
in this country.
The laDoring man III England, as
distinct from his organization, on the
other hand, is worse off than our Amer
lean laborer. This is partly due to his
own shortcomings. for he is not SO ca
pable as the American workman. Co
operative societies are doing a great
work in England for the %toilers. That
they are Il wonderful success is indis-

She says, Il feel sure that our expert

useful to many mothers. Our little
daughter, eight years old, was subject
to bowel trouble which we did not ther
understand and which the doctor
prescriptions failed to cure.
We had been using different cereals
for breakfast, and finally becoming
discouraged l said, I will try an ex-
pertinent. will discard all other
cereals and use only Grape-Nuts for
breakfast The three children all like
it better than anything else, and are
so fond Of 1t that l hardly let them
have all they want. In short time
I could see an improvement In the
bowel trouble.
We began using Grape Nuts five
months ago and now not only has the
bowel trouble disappeared, but the
child has grown so plump and well Il
in fact was never so feshy before-that
all our friends notice and remark about
it. We think we have an ideal break

HELD FOR OFFERING
FRIEND A DRINK
w. n. Neemes Bumps Up Against the
Liquor Statute at the Fair Grounds
and Is Arrested.

Justice, swift and heavy. is among the
other handy things within the gates of
the Minnesota state fair. Justice Lortl-
70, of Rosetown. is ready on the grounds
to hand out the most improved brand and
yesterday he was called upon to attend
to the one lone violator of the statutes
made and provided to fall into the hands
Of the law on the opening day of the ex-
hibition.
The culprit was w. H. Neemes, of
Minneapolis, employed on the grounds
possessed of a fair amount of knowledge
of the rules and regulations.
However, when Neemes f1ourished a
bottle of whisky in front of police head
quarters and offered a drink to Frank
Casey, a hostler accompanying the in
vitation with the boast that nobody could
prevent him from dispensing liquor in
that way he reckoned wrongly.
He was nabbed by officers w. III. Hart
and H. W. Hordick and spent Sunday
night in the Rosetown caIaboose. Yes
terday he was renanded by Justice Lo-
reno to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury.
The fair grounds being state property
a special statute prohibits the dispensa-
ton of intoXicants therein
