READY. START !
An Athletic Event.

You want, everybody wants, brain
and muscle, wind and stamina, and can
get them if fed properly. This is an
athletic age. The man or woman who
is weak or sickly, is not in the race:
success socially or in business goes
only to the strong and healthy. 1t is
largely a matter of choice with any
one for proper living, and proper food
will bring the prize.
An athlete in Chicago tells of the
good results he obtained from proper
food; he says: Last spring l began
to train hard to become an athlete in
track events and to grow stronger; /
now know that what strength and vic
tories have secured is due to the use
of Grape-Nuts. When in training for
an athletic meet, l would just live on
Grape-Nuts alone for three days be-
fore the event was to come off. Dur
ing this time / have won six cham
pionship races out of two athletic
meets In 300-yard run my time was
35 seconds and in the 75-yard dash the
time was 8 seconds, both being good
record.
Grape-Nuts has given me a stronger
mind and also bodily strength which
no other food could have done in so
in a most remarkable way since using
Grape-Nuts.
Members of our football team have a
training table on which may be found
first of all the athletes favorite food.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Several news

HIGHER POWER, LESS SPEED.
New Cruisers Will steam but 21H
Knots an Hour.

Washington. Oct. 20.-The naval
board on construction to-day finally
decided upon the features of the
armored cruisers authorized by the last
Congress. Speed has been sacrificed in
a measure to power. BY a vote of four
against one, Engineer-in-Chief Mel
ville's proposition to give the big ships
$4,000 horsepower and a speed of %
knots at q minimum. was rejected and
the horsepower will stand at $4,000,
which he estimates will actually bring
the speed down to about 211h knots.
Thus the new boats will be az knots
slower than the four famous English
armored cruisers Of the Drake class.
To offset this lack of speed the Tennes-
see class will have a much more pow
erful battery, with four 10-inch guns
in two turrets against two 91z-inch
guns in the main batteries Of the Brit
ish ships. The Tennessee class will
also have more armcr, the protective
deck at its thickest part being ~
inches with six-inch side armor.

Edward Butler Indicted for Bribery
by st. Louis Grand Jury.
st. Louis, Oct. 20.-The millionaire
politician, Edward Butler, was indict-
ed by the grand jury this afternoon

companies. In America the railway
freight charge per ton-mile is about
one-sixth as large as in Great Britain.
Three causes operate to produce the
result. Coal in the United States
is usually shipped in cars holding
fifty tons, while in Great Britain
1t Is broken up into six-ton or ten-ton
lots; second, the original investment of
capital I'm railroads is much greater a
mile in England than in America, and
the rates must be heavier in order to
pay dividends; and third, our hauls are
longer.
Solid Petroleum.
A recent report by Consul Brunot of
st. Etienne, France, states that a con-
Germ in that country is now engaged in
the manufacture of solid petroleum,
that is. petroleum so treated that It
may be handled as coal or cake. This
product is manufactured in the form
of briquettes. which are composed
chiefly of petroleum, either crude or
refined. and possess all the desirable
qualities of coal and ordinary petro-
leum without any of the Objectionable
characteristics of either.
In addition to their lightness the bril-
QUOTES leave only 2 or per cent. of
residue; do not form clinkers: do not
melt or run: burn without smell or
smoke; do not absorb moisture: will
float on the water; do not explode; and
are not liable to spontaneous eombus-
ton under any circumstances; will
keep indefinitely retaining all their
qualities of combustion; give off a very
white flame 5 to 10 inches high; pro-
duce twice as much heat as coal; can
be used in any kind of furnace. and are
easy and agreeable to handle"
The principal expense In the manu-
facture of the new fuel Is the oil. the
other ingredients and the labor costing
comparatively little.
Peat Ms Fuel.
Serious attention has been given in
recent years to the possibilities in the
use of peat as fuel. In North Euro
pean countries, in Ireland, and in some
other regions, the peat deposits have
formed for a long time an important
fuel supply. Even In Germany, which
Is relatively rich In coal, the peat boys
are exploited extensively. In the Unit
ed States there has been little induce
ment for the development of the coun-
try's peat wealth; nevertheless many
believe that there is a wide field for
profitable use of this fuel In this coun-
try. Far greater possibilities in this
direction exist In Canada. That coun-
try Is practically bare OF coal, but rich
i'm peat. and may be forced to consider
the use OF the latter on an extended
scale.
Peat. in its natural state. is a poor
fuel. 1t holds, suspended in the meshes
of the network Of vegetable fibers of
which IL is composed. very large
percentage of water, and also contains
much water In more intimate combi-
nations. A number of methods Of
treating 1t are In operation. II has
long been realized, however, that the
most desirable peat product would be
a coke, ana numerous attempts have
been made I'm this direction Up to
the present none of these have proven
successful. A process developed quite
recently promises better results. II the
claims made for 1t are well founded.
the peat coke 1t produces will soon be
a valuable fuel.

TRICKS OF CHINESE SERVANTS.
Signals of the Discharged 10 Warn
Their Successors.
From the Straits Budget.

From the Straits Budget
1t is not an uncommon thing 10 hear
people In the East say that they are
still in want of Chinese cook, while
others will have numbers of applica-
lions directly ii is known that their
cook has left. The reason for this is
easily discovered II the master Of the
house walks down to the kitchen aft
er his cook has been discharged, and
takes notice how a saucepan which
will be found standing on the ground
is placed. Chinese servants, particu-
larly those from Singapore, when dis
charged, leave signs which the new
conner looks for Immediately he en-
tiers the kitchen. If the place is con-
sidered good one, a saucepan will be
left on the ground with the lid put
on properly. II the lid is placed in
the saucepan upside down, that is to
say, with the handle of the lid inside
the saucepan, 1t means that the SER
want has gone away for short time
only and that as soon as he can he
intends to return. as the situation is
considered a good one. If the lid OF
the saucepan is left out on the ground,
near the saucepan, which Is standing
the right way up, 1t means the house
Is in want of servants. If the lid Is
put half way in and half way out of
the saucepan, IL means tndt the place
is a good one, but the master of the
house is stingy Should the saucepan
have still some rice in Il. and the lid
closed properly, It means that the SER
want is quite satisfied with everything
concerning the people of the house,
but that he Is forced to leave on ac-
count of debts or other reasons which
Inconvenience him. If the master is
in the habit of cutting a servants pay
for broken or lost articles, or for other
faults, a mark Is made on the bottom
of the saucepan in chalk which will
not rub out easily. The Chinese boy
makes his mark behind the pantry or
bedroom door, and the waterman on
the bottom of his tubs. The Hylan
Chinese are said to have adopted these
signs from the Macao Chinese, who in
the first case got the idea from the
Tamis.

with the murder of Mrs. Katherine ].
Adams, was completed to-day. Assist
ant District Attorney Osborne this af
ternoon made his opening address for
the state, after which the taking of
evidence was commenced.
The assistant district attorney, after
explaining the nature of different poi
sons, was advancing a theory as to the
efforts at secrecy made by the alleged
poisOner, when the court interrupted
him.
You can tell the jury" Justice Lam
bert said, what you will prove, and
not the deductions you want them to
draw"
Il expect to prove these facts. you
honor" Mr.. Osborne replied.
Very well" ruled the court, prove
them and let the jury draw their own
deductions"
At the conclusion of his address,
which occupied an hour and a half, Mr..
Osborne asked for an adjournment
until tomorrow morning, which was
denied. He then called DR.. Edward f !.
Hitchcock. the. first physician to see
Mrs Adams after she had taken ill.
Poison the Cause of Death.
The doctor said he saw a suspicious
appearance in the throat of the dying
woman and administered whisky with
out effect. He put about one-sixth of
grain of the stuff from the bromo-
settler bottle to his tongue and detect
ed hydro-cyanic acid. Traces of mercu-
rial poisoning were on Mrs. Adams
lips.
DR.. Hitchcock identified a piece of
paper as the one that Cornish gave
him as the wrapper that enclosed the
bottle and holder when it reached him
at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club It
was admitted in evidence. The bottle
holder and bottle were also admittd
after the witness said he saw them on
the dining table in Mrs. Adams fiat.
The witness said he was sure one of
the cyanides caused the death of Mrs.
Adams
DR.. Hitchcock said he gave Cornish
no antidotes for the poison, but nitrate
OF bismuth to relieve the stomach ir-
rtation complained of. Cornish was
SICK until he reached the street, the
air reviving him.

Harry F. Cornish told of the receipt
OF the poisoned package at the club

on the wrapper and threw it away.
Later at someone's suggestion he pick
