LET EN- EAT RICE.
DonneIIy Says, I'VE Must Win This
Strike at all Costs"

SbttRS a. az wow
Chicago: LET the public eat rice
until this thing is settled" is the an
swer of Michael Donne!ly, president
of the butcher workmen, made when
he ordered all retail dealers and meat
markets of every description to quit
selling meat after $50 o'clock Friday
evening, until the strike at the yards
has been won.
Why do you not fight the men who
are fighting you, instead Of putting
hardships apon men who have been
friendly to the striker" asked the lead
er of delegation of independent
packers, against whom the strike has
been called.
ut is useless to argue that ques-
ton" responded Donnelly. I'VE must
W III lulS STUNT at OH lOoIo'
The police issued a statement Fri
day of the casualties directly tFacea-
bic to the strike. There have been
murders, known, 46 assaults with
intent to murder; victims of assault
taken to hospitals, 10; accidents, 81;
sick taken to hospitals, 43-a total Of
200.
At a meeting Of the Law and Order
League Friday the charge was made
that the reign of crime in Chicago was
due directly to the lack Of courage on
the part of Mayor Harrison and Chief
of Police ONeil. 1t was agreed that
Chicago is on the verge Of an awful
Saturnalia of bloodshed and crime,
and the only hope was strict enforce
ment Of the Laws.
Meat dealers laugh at the boast Of
DonnelIy that he will close every re-
tail shop in the United States and
cause immediate action in favor Of the
strike. Some of the Chicago dealers
/ have already prepared to get their
supply. Meat will lie shipped out Of
the city by the packers and brought in
by train to the distributing houses.
This will minimize the interference

Little Nutriment in Strawberry

The Lancet, ever keen in its TASK
Of establishment, analyses the straw
berry to show it's lack Of nutritiYe
value. The analysis is as follows:
Water, $4,000 per cent: soluble salts
(including free acid, 1.146; lime and
iron salts, 1877; proteid, 800: sugar
$500; oily matter 1854; cellulose and
seeds, 2.463. The strawberry is con-
TUNED rather for the sake of its mois4
ture, sweetness and favor than for
any value that it may possess as a
food and, according to analysis, this
value is small.

FIGHT STILL RAGING At LAO YANG.

further regarding the situation at Lao

KurOpatkiH has Withdrawn the main
position Of his forces to the north of
the Taitse river, and that according
to the latest adyces, the action is still
in progress. There IS Discrimination
in St Petersburg to believe that Lao
Yang has been abandoned, and at the
same time it is said that the position
KurOpatliin now occupies is the one
he has prepared and fortified, and
where he has all along planned to
make his second stand instead OF d.
rectly in and around Lao Yang, with
the river at his back. as has been be-
lieyed.
1t is thought by Russian experts
that in taking Kuropatkin's present
defenses the Japanese are forcing an
almost impossible attack, especially
being divided by the rivers.
Dispatches reaching St. Petersburg
say that the Taitse is flooded and
cannot be forded, and therefore it is

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.


When a little human machine Cor
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had le got over
these than he began to cut teeth and
being SO weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says a Col
orado mother.
Il decided change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
lad never used the food, we got some
ard for a few days gave him just the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
ia a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong
and well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph l send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
GIape-Nuts nourished him back TO
strength when he was so weak ne
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape,Nuts and cream. The food
contains the elements nature de,
mands, from which to make the soft
gray filing in the nerve centers and
brain. A we'll fed brain and strong,
sturdy nerves absolutely insure

Senator Fairbanks was met at the

republican candidate for governor,
and committee Of citizens. Many
hundred citizens and visitors were al
so at the station. and the scene was
an inspiring one. A special train
from Wichita, carrying 500 men, ar

added to the enthusiasm. The process

Kuropatkin says nothing regarding

the main audience space, which was
canopied with white cloth and arched
with large electrical crosses and other
emblems of the order.
The knights who arrived after dark
last night received the impression that
the city was afame. The warships in
the harbor were strung with lights and
the white beams of their searchlights
crossed the sky. The Ferry building,
with its tower plci,ed out In green in
candescents and resplendent with
great red electric maltese cross,
crowned the entrance to an electric
highway which extended up Market
street for distance of two miles and
which was formed OF oolonnades, COL
umns and arches of glowing bulbs. All
along the line masonic emblems and
American flags hung from every build
ing. The court of honor, the intersec-
ton Of Market, Geary and Kearney
streets. loomed overhead with its 5000
incandescents. From stout cables
stretching from tall buildings on each
side Of Market street was suspended
glittering bell-shaped mass with a
rim 40 feet in diameter, with strings
tapering to the top lights, while In the
center Of the web, blazing like Jewels,
was seen the sign Of the order. A
huge passion cross and crown and the
motto, "In Hoe Signo Vinces," all
thickly incrusted with lights, lay In
the huge ring Of the web. At its outer
edge. suspended from the huge ring at
Intervals were other emblems of the
order, all richly illuminated. The
nearby buildings were outlined with
lights and hung with mottos and in
sigma.
Between Fifth and Sixth streets
was a grand colonnade between Co
columns twined with strings
If frosted lights. In the center of the
'olonnade was a three-oclumn tri-
lmphal arrh from which was suspend
ID the croos of the most eminent grand
master, Henry B. Stoddard, embossed
With lights. The western vista of the
lectric highway was crowned by the
lone of the city hall.
