A LAST RESORT.
Pure Food Should Be the First.

When the human machine goes wrong
it's ten to one that the trouble began
with the stomach and can therefore be
removed by the use of proper food. A
lady well known in Bristol Ontario
county, n. Y. tells of the experience she
had curing her only child by. the use of
scientific food, My little daughter. the
only child and for that reason doubly
dear. inherited nervous dyspepsia. We
tried all kinds of remedies and soft
foods. At last. when patience was
about exhausted and the childs condi-
ton had grown so bad the whole fam
ily was aroused, we tried Grape Nuts.
"A friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children had
grown strong upon so | purchased
box-as a last resort. In a very short
time a marked change in both health
and disposition was seen. What made
our case easy was that she liked it at
once and it's crisp, nutty flavor has
made it an immediate favorite with
the most fastidious in our family
IT'S use seems to be thoroughly es-
tablished in western New York where
MANY friends use it regularly. l have
noticed it's fine effects upon the in
tellects as well as the bodies of those
who use it, We owe it much" Name

making his escape.
Mr.. Summerskill, seeing that the man
was likely to get away and not know

the leading attorneys in Vermont,

CAN EXCHANGE ARMS.
State Militia Can Swap Old for New
With Uncle Sam.

Washington, May 12.-Judge Advo-
cate General Davis has rendered an
opinion at the request of Gen. Crozier,
chief of ordnance relative to the con-
struction of the law providing for the
exchange of arms of the militia for
modern guns of the army. There was
an apparent conflict between the new
militia law and the appropriation act.
The opinion of Gen. Davis holds that
the exchange can be made and that
the appropriation of $4,000, 900 is avail
able for supplying arms as for other
militia purposes.

OVER 1000 MEN
Give Berlin, N. H., First Expe-
rience With Strikes.
The Big Pulp and Paper Mill En-
pIoyes Demand More Pay.
Fall River Unions Decide to Assist
Lowell Strikers.

Berlin. N. H., May 12-More than
1000 men employed by the Berlin Mills
Co. and the Burgess Sulphite Fibre o.,
whose interests are closely iatcrr.1yln
went on strike 1T noon, To-Day, becausel
of the company's refusal 10 grant their
demands for more pay and recognition
of the the various unions
These demands We're made more than
q week ago ard the men have been hop
ing that some compromise might be
reached that would avert a strike with
it's inevitable hardshiDs, but the COM
panics absolutely declined to yield. The
Bcrli4 M:lls Co. has closed its lumber,
pulp and paper mills and store in de-
termination to carry on the fight to 4
finish. All Improvements upon its plant
which are under way will also be dis
continued except those being made by
contract labor
The payrolls of the two companies
amount to $4,000 monthly, payable
weekly, and with this amount of money
removed from circulation the outlook
for storekeepers and business men Of all
classes in this city is a most serious
one.
Another bad feature of the situation
is the fact that the Berlin Electric
Light Co. obtains power from the Ber-
lin Mills Co., for manufacturing and
lighting stores and residences.
A shut down of the mills plant would
therefore result in great Inconvenience
all over the city.
While the strike is in progress each
single man will be paid So and each man
with family S. per week by the unions
of which they are members.
The city officials have appointed
about so special policemen but there is
no suggestion of disorder at present.
This strike is the first of any import
anCe Berlin has ever had.

Under Her New Outfit.
Proves Satisfactory, with No Test
Made With Columbia.
Shamrock III Again Defeats Old, Dis
carded Shamrock |.

Bristol, r. T., May 12.-The Reliance
had her first trial spin, today, since be
ing partly refitted with spars and sails.
When she left her moorings at 100 +.
NJ. for the spin down the bay she was
carrying a new mainsail which proved
to be good fit, also a new main boom
ana larger main gaff, both Of which
seemed to work well in taking up tie
slack in the mains. The trip began at
1.30 ard ended at o'clock. the boat
beating down as far as Fort Adams and
running back again before the wind
with ballooners and spinnaker set.
Mr.. Iselin, when interviewed, short
~ after the trip, said that the test of
the spars and rigging of the Reliance
today, was satisfactory and that every
thing had worked well. He said the
boat would go out, tomorrow, for an
other sail, but as there was some work
to be done upon her in the morning the
trip might be delayed until the after
noon.
The new main sail fits much bett er
than the old one. and it worked out
finely in the strong breeze during the
days trial.
Gourock, Scotland, May 12.-Sir Thos.
Upton and Designer Fife have decided
that it is not necessary to devote fur
Their time to trials between the Sham
rocks on this side of the Atlantic. Con-
seQuently Saturdays race will be the
last. The two yachts will be sent to
the Greenock yard, Monday, in order
to be fitted with their ocean rigs. Rae
ing however. has been arranged for
every day this week.
The boats started, at 1880 this morn
ing, over q course from GouroCk and
Rothesay and Hallereh bay and return,
40 miles. A light, steady wind was
blowing and fine weather canvas was
set in both yachts. The Shamrock
had the advantage in being 200 yards
dead to windward when the yachts
started to beat down channel on the
first leg of the course. But the cup
challenger, lying very low on the wind,
pulled up steadily. After a couple of
miles short lacking, the Shamrocks
came together and the challenger had
done 50 well that she was able to cross
the bows of hertopponent and take the
lead.
In a freshening wind the challenger
constantly Widened the gap, gaining
practically a minute a mile.
The yachts luffed round Toward point
and beat into Rothesay bay. The cha!-
longer was about a mile and half ahead
on turning the Rothesay mark at the finish
of a 10-mile beat.
On turning the Rothesay mark at the
finish of 10-mile beat the times were:
Shamrock III, 1.03.16; Shamrock |. 40.
The yachts then headed up the firth and
homcward The wind was light and flukey
and not much interest was taken in this
part of the TRIAL. In close company they
turned together off Greenock for q short
beat to windward TO Gourock and finished
the days work. During the final beat the
challenger luffed right across her oppo-
nents course and gained half minute in
IL minutes sailing.
The yachts will, tomorrow, race over n
J5-mile course round the channel fleet at
Lamlash Isle of Arran, and return for n
prize of $500, presented by the Hon. Chas.
Russell.
