A FUTILE HOLD=UP
Four Robbers Capture a Sea-
 Board Air Line Train
They Were Driven Off by Volunteer Force and Are Being Pursued by Blood Hounds.

McClenny, Fla, Jan. 16.-Passenger train number seventy-siX, east bound, on the SeabOard Air Line, was held up one mile east of Sanderson at 7:45 D. m. tonight by four white men. The door of the baggage car was blown open with dynamite, the robbers mis- taking this car for the express car.
 The engine was stopped by a volley of shots fired into the cab. The fire man and engineer were taken off the engine and escorted to the second class coach and the robbers ran the train ahead about half mile, when they blew open the baggage car. The train conductor went forward, but was fired on and driven back to the coaches.
 Conductor Peck, who was dead-head- ing over the line, called for firearms and volunteers. N. H. Harrison, claim agent of the road, Kobb MCCay and J. C. Williamson, travelling freight agent, responded, and the four went forward. opened fire "n the robbers and drove them off Conductor Peck took the throttle and ran the train four miles down the read. The robbers secured no booty and made no attempt to rob the passengers, but there was great eX- citement in the passenger coaches while the firing was going on.
 The sheriffs of DuvaI and Baker counties are on the trail of tbe rob bers with blood hounds.

THE WAY OUT
What to Do When Food Don't Agree.

When food don't agree sensible folks make a change.
 Where al! others fail. Grape Nuts. being predigested and all nourishment, succeeds, usually from the first trial.
 4 lady of Washington, says: My baby, 19 months old. had never seen a well day in her life. She had suffered from Indigestion from the time of her birth and it seemed impossible to find any food to agree with her. She could keep almost nothing on her stomach and her bowels were in such consti- pated condition she suffered a great deal.
 Tt was then that I tried Grape Nuts for her, sleeping it thoroughly and straining it, putting a small portion in each feeding and it worked like a charm. She began to improve imme- diately and gained half a pound the first week.
 "Baby got her indigestion from me, for my digestive organs have always been weak. l rely on Grape-Nuts for most of my food, for there are times when l can eat nothing else at all but and know it will entirely cure me in time. I never have that tired feel ing anymore. l eat GEape-Nuts and feel it's effects in improved mental strength very fOrcibly.' Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek. Mich.

Anti IOxine Manufacturers
 Playing With Lives
A CRUSADE IN CHICAGO
The Medical Societies Have Taken It Up, and Urge the Manufacture of Serum in Laboratory To Be Estab- lished in Every State.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The Chicago Medi- cal society and the Illinois State Med teal association will, it is expected. begin legal proceedings against the an ti-toxire trust under the. antitrust law. Secretary Pritchard. of the health department, said today that he had information to that effect.
 An official statement regarding the death trust" in anti-toxine was issued today by Secretary Pritchard. The statement says: "The anti-toXine trust is nothing more or less than a traffic in human life. Three concerns, which manufacture and practically control the anti-toXine supply of almost the entire country have seen fit to arbi- trarily advance the price of their pro- duct one hundred per cent. This dis covery was made by the department Of health of the city Of Chicago. when, in ordering it's needed supplies for charity work, it was met with these increased quotations.
 The department felt compelled to call public attention 10 the evidence that a combine had been formed which effectually controlled the price of the only known remedy for the most dread scCurage to the child life of the cOun- try. Primarily our object was to call attention to the immediate effect this would have on the death rate of chill dren in the city of Chicago. Since the discovery of anti-toXine the depart ment of health has done all in its pow CT to encourage its use. It has its own medical inspectors to administer aud has provided the anti-tcxine in al! cases where people were too poor to purchase it.
 "The horizontal increase in the price made by the trust means that the city of Chicago will be compelled to appro- priate double the sum to do tho saIrs, amount of charity work in diphtheIia cases for 1904 than it did in 1903. This the city can do, and doubtless win dn. but outside of this it must be remem- bered that this burden will fall hcaVi St on the self-respecting, self-suppOrtinG heads of families of modest incomes To all such, should diphtheria invade thei.' homes and they would be com pelled to pay the increased prices. the burden put on them by the anti-t0xine trust will indeed be grievous.
 Ut should be noticed that the in- creased prices quoted by the trust to the city are the prices of manufactur- CTS to a jobber. This applies not only to Chicago, but practically to the en- tire country. The publicity already giV7 eu has aroused the medical profes- sion to the highest indignation and no doubt will result in some action speedily being taken to provide q sup ply of anti-toXine from sources otE- CT than that of the combine"
 A. F. Nightingale. of the trustees Of the University of Illinois. today said: T think every state Of the union should have q laboratory for the man ufacture of anti-toxine serum for its state"

 Neither Russia, nor Japan desires var continued the secretary, Japan has no interest in undermining the na- tiOnal prestige of Russia.
