NO DRUGS.
dust Proper Food and Rest

The regular user of drugs to relieve pain is on the wrong track Find the cause and remedy it by proper food and quit drugs for temporary relief or you will never get well.
 minister's wife writes Three years ago. while living at Rochester, N. Y, where my husband was pastor of one of the city churches, I was greatly re- duced from nervous prostration and an- aemia and was compelled to go to Well-known Eastern sanitarium for my health. My stomach was in bad shape from badly selected food; was an ha- bitual user of Carbonate of Magnesia and my physicians made every endeav- or to break up this most damaging habit but all to no purpose.
 At the sanitarium I was given Grape Nuts and learned the value of the food l used it continuously, eating it at near 1y every meal and my recovery was rapid. Its use enabled me to eat and digest food and to give up the drug habit and l am now completely restored to good health.
 At the present time I am able to at- tend to my household and family duties. pursue music which was formerly my profession, besides reading and study ing, all of which I was totally unable to do at the time referred to- Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

 Tt commences at sunrise when the men and women are seen lying on the ground with their feet in the water. They lie perfectly still, the water nov" ing past and. according to their belief. carrying their sins of the last year down the lake. On the morning of the second day we were warned to hold our horses, and had hardly secured them tightly when in an instant at a signal the two lines of men and women arose to a standing position and began Hap ping their blankets in the air. The noise was almost deafening. The flap ping was continued while the Indians stood with their toes in the water They were shaking the evil spirits into the stream and causing them to be car ried down to the lake and drowned.

officials in sakhalin as might be ex- pecLed."
 Speaking of one of his expeditions m the island, MT. Hawes said:
 In proceeding from Alexandrovsk to the far north of Sakhalin We first traV- eled through sixty miles Of dense for est, and then proceeded for 300 miles out and another 300 back in native dug out canoes. The t%o chief difficulties we met with were bears and escaped conYicts. Of the former We saw the tracks of a 100 in two and half days padding. The escaped cunVicts were numerous. and We dared not light fires at night to keep off the bears. When we were on the point of returning from the Pacific coast the officials sent word by the natives that five cOnVicts hal escaped from the Rik0vsk prison in the interior, and were known to be bent on killing our hosts, d native headman and two engineers, whose hut We had shared. We were warned that three of them were armed with Winch4sters, and we received instructions instantly to fire on any Russian we saw in the forests. Eighteen of these escaped con- yicts were shot in two and half months. They are exceedingly danger ous. their condition being so desperate that they will willingly murder anyone they meet merely to obtain possession of pair of boots.
 q met with no hostility from the na- tives, whom I found to be friendly and interesting They appear to be people who once possessed a civilization and have long lost it. They dress principal ly in fish and seal skins, and live very much like the bears. They are exceed ingly poor and do not come much in contact with the Russian officials"

DR. KoCHs THEORIES.
To be Discussed Again by IBternattona
 Tuberculosis Ongress

Berlin. Oct. 2I.-Dr. Koch's tubercu- losis theories will come up fer discus sion again before the International Tu- bercu!osis congress which opens to-mor- TON evening with a reception in the Prussian parliament house. Professor Koch. who wrote a book last spring en- bodying six years observations and tending to show that human and ani- nal tuberculosis were intercommuni- cable, will state his present position in the controversy. and Dr. Rocard of AL fort, France. will speak of the trans mission of consumption through milk. Whether Dr. Koch will take part in the subsequent discussion is uncertain. His name is not on the progra mne.
 Other subjects to be discussed are the attitude of the various governments re- garding the prevention of consumption, the obligation of physicians to inform the police of the occurrence of cases protection of labor in factories and the methods of taking care of consump- tives.
 Most of the delegates are guests at private Louses. for it is considered an honor by prominent citizens of Berlin to entertain distinguished foreign scien- lists. The American delegates are Dr. Welch of Baltimore and Dr. Charles Denison of Denver The latter will read paper on the most useful direc- tion inquiries into tuberculosis can take.

NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE.
James J. Hill Continues Ills Testimony
 for the Roads.

James J. Hill Continues Ills Testimony
 for the Roads.
 St. Paul, Minn., Oct 21.-James J. Hill continued his testimony to-day in the suit of the United States against the so-called railway merger. He went into the matter of rates and joint rates con- siderably in detail.
 On rate reductio ions again he said rates were always reduced as traffic increas- ed, which had followed the Burlington purchase. He had made no attempt to influence rates on the Burlington.
 The acquisition of the Burlington had not diverted traffic from other lines to the Northern Pacific and Great North ern but actually created'new traffic for them. All railroads have recently in- creased their business but others had increased to so great an extent as his line.
 The effect if the Burlington had be- come the property of the Union Pacific would have been so severe on the Great Northern that he would have recom- mended a sale at once. It would not have given hard competition but would have absolutely prevented the getting of business in the middle west. It was necessary to reach that section and the Burlington was the best means of reaching it.
 In answer to questions MT. Hill said he could not purchase the Burlington or contract to do so and that corpor- ate action of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific was necessary. The hearing adjourned until tomorrow.

AN UGLY FIRE IN CHICAGO

 ble at that time to form any estimate of the loss of life, the statements of the employees in the drying house were so conflicting that the police declared that, in their opinion, the loss of life would not be more than ten or twelve. Sev- eral of the men who made their escape from the lower part of the building said that there were not more than ten men on the top floor, and it is not thought there will be any loss of life among the men employed in any other part of the building.
 The men employed in the three lower floors of the drying house ran for the doors and windows as soon as they had knowledge of the fire, and all of them succeeded in reaching the open air. On the third floor there was one man at work. He was cut off from the fire es- cape by the dense clouds of smoke that poured through the building, and was compelled to make a run for his life down the stairs. He burst through a mass of flame when he reached the low CT doorway and was badly scorched. Two minutes later would have made it utterly impossible for him to make his escape. The men on the seventh floor had no chance whatever for their lives. Several of them left the windows and crawled along the sills in an effort to reach place of safety. but, with the exception of two men, all those who at tempted to reach safety in this way made up their minds that it was cer- tain death and went back into the burn ing building. The two men, however, determined to take the chances of leap, and, climbing up on the window ledge, they sprang out into the air. One of them came straight down for the greater part of the way, but just as he was within short distance of the pave ment his body swung around and he struck the stone walk at full length. The other man turned over and over as he came whirling down. Their bodies | were horribly crushed and mangled, and it was impossible for any of the men who saw them directly after their l jump to identify them in any way. i Four other men jumped from the windows on the fourth floor These men were terribly injured and were | taken in ambulances to the county hos pital.
 ', One of the survivors who reached the
 ground in safety after a perilous jour
 ney down the fire escape from the fourth story, said:
 T do not believe any of the men on 1 the top story could have escaped The

 Frank Rothenberg, a foreman work l ing on the fifth floor of the drying
 house, met his death in making a jump
 for and missing net held by the fire
 men underneath the window where he
 stood. His skull was crushed and he
 died instantly.
 Joseph Rutkos, who escaped with his 1 life, but is badly burned and bruised, had better fortune in striking the net

 under an arbor in the garden of a wheezy old Turk, whose donkey kept us company near by, while the sough Of the waves splashing on the beach, soothed us gently to sleep. The next day we were free to explore the ruins of Troas, which lie scattered about in prodigal fashion, though not any of them imposing and majestic as are many of the remains in Syria or Egypt Pillars, capitals, plinths, ct cetera, lay around on every side, half covered from sihgt in the thick groves of the valonia oak. The remains cover many square miles. On the beach lie some of the stone cannon balls which the Turks have left there as relics of the ordnance of a past age. Constantine thought of founding his capital at Troas instead of at Stamboul, and to this day the name which Troas goes by is Eski Stamboul-Old Constantinople. It .is@a very impressive place-that spot where Paul beheld the Macedonian vision and yet most of the scholars or curious travellers who visit the Plain of Troy never essay to go on to Troas, and still fewer ever pass on as we did tS the hardly less interesting Assos.
 Troas to-day is deserted save for a few farming Turks or wandering shep- herds, or hee and there a proving bigand It is quite difficult to trace the outlines of the city, because of the un- dergrowth that stretches out on every side, except as it Is threaded here and there by trails which suggest the paths leading to Siboney and San Juan. However, the remains of a gymnasium may be made out, 413 feet by PA, for merly a massive and pretentious edi- fee, now broken into fragments, from which the Turks of the neighborhood, with their proverbial disregard for an- tiquarian teasures, have been appro- priating building materials for many generations. Indications of an aque- duct, and of a Dorie temple, are also discoverable, with suggestions of other ambitious structures. Somewhere in the neighborhood may be lying the ruins of the house from the upper story of which Eutychus fell, overcome by Pauls long preaching, and of the dwelling of Carpus, in whose care the apostle left his cloak, and his still more vauled parchments-as we would say, his wraps and his te-books.-Rev.

and capital have learned a lesson from the miners strike which will enable them to adopt peaceful, humane and business methods of adjusting wage dif- ferences in the future"
 After MT. Mitchell had notified Presi- dent Roosevelt of the action of the con- vention and had received a reply to the effect that the commission would meet in Washington on Friday he sent out the official announcement through the press to the strikers that the strike was off. It was addressed to all miners and mine workers in the anthracite region and was as follows:
 You are hereby officially notified that it was unanimously decided to-day by the delegates attending the special convention that all mine workers should report for work Thursday morning, Oc- tober 23rd, and that the issues which eliminated in the strike should be re- ferred for adjustment to the commits sion appointed by the president of the United States.
 we are authorized by the executive 
 all those who resume work to exercise more than usual care in order that ac- cidents to life and limb may be averted. Owing to the condition of the mines af- ter an idleness of five months there will be great danger when work is resumed, We are prompted to offer this advice by the fact that at the close of the strike two years ago many more accl- dents and deaths occurred than take place when the miners are operating regularly"
 President Mitchell has not made any arrangements regarding his future movements He will act as attorney for the men at all sessions of the commis- sion and will have with him several as- sistants. Headquarters here will be kept open probably until after the award of the arbitration commission IS announced.

 The officers of the company when in formed that the two smaller buildings had been destroyed and that the four teen story building was damaged, would not make an estimate of damage. One of them said:
 Tt may be anywhere between $15,O0O and one million and that is all we can say at this time"
