though joined hand in hand-no combina-
ton or monopoly which plumber the peo-
pie can escape at last His all-seeing ven
geance, but simply refuse to touch the
unclean thing that hath proceeded out,
this horned beast.
Even a little talk has already caused
threat of going INTO honest industry,
that of buying farms and raising tobac-
co-this is too good to be true; it will
be increasing the value of our lands and
paying taxes to the State government,
and if it sells it's tobacco at reasonable
price, we will buy it and encourage it to
90 into diversified farming. In a hun
dred years it will undo some of the mis-
chief it has wrought and in two hun
dred years the continued sun baths and
the discipline of an agricultural life will
have changed its heart to such a degree
that it may sympathize with the farmer.
In the meantime we will all use better
tobacco and calmly await developments
in the firm belief that .here is room
enough for us all, if we use a little of
our intelligence whenever it is necessary
to work together for the common good.

| The reason boycotts have failed and
ought to fail is because men in their

charitable enough to recognize the plain
principle which I point out-men led by
walking delegates (who are too often in
the pay of two masters) rather than by
good sense and a kindly feeling toward
all mankind.
In essentials, unity in nom essentials,
liberty; in all things, charity is the
motto by which all people must organize

TRY FEEDING.
Instead of Journey for Health.

The sick person has not exhausted all
of his resources until he has tried the
value of proper. pure. and scientifically
made food.
1t often happens that when medical skill
has been exhausted a person thinks
change of climate necessary. That's the
time to change the food.
A big man in New York City whose
normal weight is around the 230 pound
mark had run down to 173 pounds. L
was so ILL., he says, that my doctor or
deerd me to go South, but as 1 could not
afford to go l hesitated and then along
came a friend who persuaded me to try
the food Grape-Nuts.
Am glad to say 1 did so for l gained
back my lost 50 pounds and l now feel
fine all the time, never felt better IN all
my life and that means I am well and
strong, didn't have to go south, saved the
money and am all right Name given

This shows what delicious food can
do when it is pure and the right kind.

q slight German accent, was committed TO

tectivee. on . complaint made by Sir Percy
Sanderson. the British Consul-General.
Trunks in her rooms were found 10 contain
about $4,000 worth Of the booty and yee-
terday a pearl necklace valued at nearly
5000 was recovered from a Broadway
jewelry store. leaving about $4,000 worth
TO be accounted for.
According to Alexander Reitlinger, who
is In the leather business at 1873 William
street and Is q brother OF the robbed banker
the Williams woman was a nursery gov
erness in his brothers household at sa
Fitzjohn avenue. Hampstead, London

The banker cabled his brother here that
the woman had come TO America. and the

traced her to the Abingdon Square Hotel
and then to the Harlem address. They
do not believe she had an accomplioe
The bankers brother, however, says he
has learned that the young woman went
driving on Sunday with a man and that

Fox, counsel OF the British Government.
and told him that a woman answering the

jeweller said that a diamond pendant,
worth about $500, which had been attached
TO the necklace, had been made up into a
brooch and returned to the young woman
a few days ago. This brooch has not been
recovered.

The electrical currents thst stray be-

the harm they DO were described by A. A.
Knudson before the American Electro

Six years ago Mr.. Knudson discovered

station. In Brooklyn. passsd by way Of
the Brooklyn Bridge TO the elevated struct-
ure at the Manhattan end and down to the
water and gas pipes beneath Park row.
By means Of various tests he has lately
found that these currents stray north

third street and BY means of the new East
River bridge eventually return to the power
house in Brooklyn.
Their strengths vary. In the rush hour.

at the foot OF East Twenty-drst street,

mains and the river, Is 12 volts. A n-inch
pipe near Grand street is charged TO the
extent Of SO amperes: upon q 3o-inch main
near Canal street amp@res Is found
flowing north.
In many cases, Mr.. Knudson said. these
straying currents do little appreciabie
harm. In others they do q great deal by
rotting the pipes and mains by electrolysis.
On July IL. 1900. for example. this process
caused the bursting Of an S-inch water
main in Flushing avenue; while pipes are
not infrequently exhumed deeply furrowed
The stray currents, he concluded. could
be stopped by the USE OF the double trolley.
