THE HUNGER OF CHILDREN.

All mothers are familiar with that ever
present hunger of the growing boy or
girl. 1t is different from any other hun
ger. 1t is a craving, gnawing demand
that cannot wait until the bib can be
fastened on.
This impatient, extreme hunger is the
demand of the little system for nourish-
ment to sustain it's rapid growth. The
thoughtless mother supplies this demand
with the first thing at hand that will sat-
isfy the child that will appease the hun
ger. The careful and thoughtful mother
supplies the hungry child with such food
as will give the nourishment that the
little growing frame needs.
In the first place the child eats cake or
cookies or fruit or candy. In the other
case the child Is given Malta-Vita.
Malta-Vita Is not in the ordinary sense
an infant food. 1t is good for old and
young alike, whenever and wherever a
palatable, nourishing food is needed. Chill
dren like it and it is good for them. If
the little folks ate less of fried-cakes
and cookies and more of Malta-Vita, they,
the little ones, would have fewer sick
spells and the parents would have fewer
doctors bills to pay.
Malta-Vita is wheat product, thor
oughly impregnated with the diastase of
malt. It is cooked and semi-digested.
It is sold by grocers at 15c for very
large package, and is an ideal food for
old and young, sick and we'll.

Foodstuffs on the Rise.
DUE TO CORNER IN JULY OATS
September Oats Cheaper. but They
Don't Make Good July
Breakfasts. .

Now it is oatmeal that is on the ram
page. Nearly everything else in the food
line has had whirl. In the past few
months price advances have been made
all along the line from beans to beef
steak. The old reliable breakfast food
has been little late In getting into the
game, but is now moving at rate that,
If maintained, will soon make up for lost
time, Strength has ruled for several
days, and yesterday prices on oatmeal in
barrels were boosted so cents, and the
prepared article in packages advanced all
around to an equivalent of about 36 cents
a case. The thousands who are addicted
to the oatmeal habit will have to pay
more for their favorite breakfast starter
if this keeps on, or else cultivate taste
for boiled saWdust.
The only surprise about the matter is
that oatmeal has not advanced more,
when it is considered that the raw ma
terial is selling at prices that have not
been seen for thirty years. In ordinary
times oats sell at from as to 20 cents, and
80 cents is considered a good price. But
year ago at this time July oats in Chicago
We're 35% cents, which was then thought
q pretty high figure. To-day July oats
sold at 70 cents.
!. This really phenomenal figure is due
to manipulation in Chicago, and to the
fact that there is little of the old crop OF
oats Of contract grade left, and a few men
in Chicago own practically the entire
supply. So that In the strict sense this
70-cent price is hardly legitimate fig
ure. Nevertheless it Is the basis upon
which one has to figure If ne wants oats
for prompt delivery. II he chooses to
wait until September for the delivery OF
his oats he can buy September oats now
for about 34% cents, and he will prob
ably get delivery from the new crop now
maturing. If he waits for December de-
livery he can buy at about 80 cents. But
If he is manufacturer of oatmeal, and is
out of raw material and has to 60 out into
the open market and buy oats for immedi-
ate delivery, he is UP against price
proposition. September and December
oats won't make a breakfast for to-mor-

NO MORE PAVING NOW
ity Controller Rogers Enters
Strenuous Objection.

City Controller Rogers put his foot
down hard at melting of the paving COM
mittee of the city council yesterday, and
as result the committee decided to or
der no more paving for the present. Mr..
Rogers took occasion two weeks ago to
impress upon the council the positive ne
cessity of not oyerdrawing the permanent
Improvement fund. With $150,000 on
hand from the sale of bonds, the paving
committee was disposed to be liberal in
the matter eof ordering paving. and, in
conformity with the practice of some for
mer years.. was ready to overdraW, the
fund for street intersections. ~ g. =.
The controllers communication was ap-
parently not needed and yesterday at the
meeting of the committee he appeared in
person. He reminded the members of the
committee that there was city charter,
and declared that it must ibe observed,
The committee had ordered paving that
would cost for, the city's part. not less
than $40, OO0, knowing we'll that there was
not 40 CENTS in that fund. Controller
Rogers acclaimed so loudly that the mem
bers Of other committees in adjoining
rooms focked to the scene and got the
benefit of it,, -, ~:

The Wall Street Journal Figures
It at Seven Per Cent.
A GUESS ON THE 6. N. STATEMENT
1T Is Not Yet Published, but Figures
From Other Roads Are
Available.

The Wall Street, Journal has a sta
tistical article analyzing the earning ca
pacity of the Northern Securities company
in which the claim is made that the COM
pany Is now earning per cent net. Many
reports of favorable nature have been
printed within a few days In the leading
eastern financial papers, and everything
given out by the financial headquarters
of the company in New York has been Of
a tenor extremely favorable to the COM
pany. This with the recent rise OF North
ern Securities stock, suggests that an
active bull campaign In the stock Is get
ting under way.
The statement that Northern securi-
ties earnings will equal per cent is
nual stat ement of the Great Northern will
show an increase of 100000 over the
earnings Of the previous year. The Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy surplus will be
about $40, 160, 900 and the Northern Pa
ciflc surplus about $12,S00,000. These
figures are approximately correct. But
the Great Northern publishes net earn
ings only in Its annual report, so that IT
is something of guess on that showing.
Assuming, however, that the cost of con-
Quoting transportation on the Great Nor
them was the same as in the previous
year, or 81 per cent of gross earnings,
and assuming that the company main
tanned it's property on about the pre-
vious years standard, then there should
be surplus shown Of about 300, 900.
This would make :,s36, in all for
the three roads. r. d -:,., ,t -,
Out of this comes $8,S46, 200 for years
interest on the, Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy joint per cent bonds. This
would leave $27,S140Oo, or close to per
cent on the $4os, $50, 900 stock of the Nor
thern Securities company. This Is prob
ably as accurate an estimate of merger
earnings as can be made, prior to the
appearance of the Great Northern annual
report. ..., .,Js. g. ....- TX r.E
