DEAL WITH REssEaU1E.
Former Topeka Official in Confer.
ence With B. T. WinchelL

Dallas, Texas, Dec. S.-A genuine
surprise was sprung in local railway
circles by the announcement that Vice
President B. L. Wincheu of the Frisco
Rock Island system and his party had
returned to Texas. 1t was the general
supposition that Mr.. Winchell was in
Chicago today. His special train reach
ed Dallas over the Rock Island tracks
from Fort Worth about noon today and
was Immediately transferred to the
tracks of the Texas and New Orleans,
in the southern part of the city. The
special train went south over that line
at 1915, it's announced destination be-
ing Beaumont.
General Manager w. G. Van Week of
the Southern Pacific lines in Texas,
accompanied by E. B. Cushing, engi-
neer; c. F. Resseguie, superintendent
of the Texas and New Orleans, and r.
L. Leovy, division freight agent of the
company at Beaumont, also arrived
about 1870 o'clock this morning in Mr..
Van Weeks private car. Tonight the
party departed over the Houston and
Texas Central for Houston, where it
is thought a conference will be held
with Mr.. Winchell and his party to-
morrow. us
The action of Mr.. Winchen in return
ing to Texas unannounced is believed
to mean that he is making final ar
engagements for the running of the
Rock Island trains over the Texas and
New Orleans and Central tracks.

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. H
Fletcher. This has been necessitated
by reason of pirates counterfeiting the
Castoria trademark. This counter
feiting is a crime not only against the
proprietors of Castorfa, but against the
growing generation. All persons
should be careful to see that Castoria
bears the signature of Chas H.
Fletcher, if they would guard the
health of their children. Parents, and
mothers in particular, ought to care
fully examine the Castoria advertise
ments which have been appearing in
this paper, and to remember that the
wrapper of every bottle of genuine
Castoria bears the fac-simile signature
of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whose
supervision it has been manufactured
continuously for over thirty years.

Is A MAN KILLER.
Santa Fe Decapod No. 1888 Cuts Two
-. Mexicansa to Pieces. 49,

The San Bernardino Times Index
says: The Santa Fe's big decapod, No.
98S, has turned out to be a man-killer.
Last night at about 7:2S the engine
crushed the life from one Mexican and
so mangled his companion that he died
at the county hospital of shock and
loss of blood this morning.
The engineer and fireman, w. H.
Heap and R. P. Klinehaus, were run
ming the engine at the time They had
taken a siding to let a passenger train

track some moments later heard the
screams of one of the Mexicans, Jesus
Rodriguez. The engine, which was
running light, was stopped and it was
found that the men had been stealing

fallen off or had alighted from the

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of
health People can eat improper food
for a time and not feel any i'll results
until there is a sudden collapse of the
digestive organs and then all kinds of
trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says: Last summer was sud
denly taken with indigestion and Sc
we're stomach trouble and could not eat
food without great pain; my stomach
was so sore I could hardly move
about. This kept up until 1 was so
miserable life was not worth living.
''Then friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to try Grape
Nuts food and quit my regular food.
Although had but little faith I COM
menced to use it and great was my
surprise to find that 1 could eat it
without the usual pain and distress in
my stomach. So I kept on using
Grape-Nuts and soon a marked i'm
provement was shown, for my stomach
was performing it's regular work in a
normal way without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull heavy
feeling in my head disappeared and
my mind felt light and clear; the
Rang ulO l1fSu 4Sel1uS 1eIl, ana dilOSeLu-
