man has a chance over there. He can
become anything he likes land every
thing is free and open to all. There are
no class distinctions. You are simply
an American, with right to hold your
head as high as anyone on earth You
are not paid off with a shilling for your
days work, but with six or seven of
them, and if you have got the right
kind of stuff in you there is no telling
what you may become-the president of
the country, perhaps Now, if there is
any reason why you should stay here
and remain poor and drudge all your
life, I would like to hear it,.

BABY's INSTINCT

To.

handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes form an Ohio
town:
THE enclosed picture shows my A.
year-old Grape-Nuts boy
since he was two years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape Nuts. He
demands and gets this food three times
a day. This may seem rather unusual,
but he does not care for anything else
after he has eaten his Grape4 Nuts,
which he uses with milk or cream, and
then he is through withhis meal. Even
on Thanksgiving day he refused tur-
key and all the good things that make
up that great dinner, and ate his dish
of GraDe-Nuts and cream with the
best results and none of the evils that
the other foolish members of the fam
lily experienced.
He is never sick. has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com

SPECIFIC ANSWER.

Private Car Lines.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The rail-
roads and refrigerator lines are made
respondents in proceedings which re-
Quire that specific answer to all allega-
lions be made to the interstate COM
merce commission by September 5. 1t
is charged that by way of rebates or
other devices the refrigerator lines are
acting for the railroads as authorized
agents, and the railroads, acting
through the refrigerator lines, are col
lecting and receiving for the refriger-
ator lines lower rates from some ship
receiving for similar service rendered
to other shippers. This is held to be
in violation of sections 2 and of the
act to regulate interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and charges imposed for the refrigera-
ton of fruits and vegetables, consti-
tutes a violation of law.
The commission alleges further that
the charges published Jointly by re-
frigeratOr lines and the railroads in
certain specified territories are I'M
reasonable and unjust and in violation
of section 1. The territories include
Indian Territory, Texas, California and
/ Kansas.
lines extend over the entire life of the
first act to regulate interstate COM
merce and all acts amendatory thereto.
Hearings have been had in various sec
lions of the country and not infre-
quently have changes been made for
the announced purpose of remedying
alleged abuses. Combinations of rail-
roads and private car lines have pre-
vented any wholesale regulation of
these rates. Charges of determinations
on the commission for number of
years.

certain religious body, not so very long
ago, an incident occurred which was
not on the programme, and which
completely upset the gravity of the
ministers and brethren assembled 1t
was at the closing session, and the
chairman stated that they were about
500 short on an amount desired to be
raised for a given purpose, and hoped
that the sum could be made up before
final adjournment. One of the lay
men jumped up with the remark:
I'll start the good work with $25."
''I don't know your name, brother,
said the chairman, but may God bless
you, and may your business be doubled
during the year
Much to his establishment, a burst
of laughter followed from many in the
hall, which was explained when
brother in front stepped to the plat
form and whispered:

planned at the treasury department by
the statement that the stock of silver

Manager speers Receives Telegram
Stating that Deal Has Been Closed
Company Is One of Strongest in the
Country. and Will Present Plays Of
j, High Glass.

Developing it's plan, to make the Ly-
ternational Theatrical syndicate has Sc
cured a high class company in its en-
tirety. The Vaughn CHASER Stock COM
pany. one Of the foremost in the coun-
try, will be ''lifted' as whole from
Cleveland, where it has been playing
transported to the Lyceum theater as
the permanent occupants of the house.
[: c.. Speers, resident manager of the
theater, received telegram today con
veying this information. The new com
pany will make it's first appearance here
on Dec. "a. The theater will close on
Dec. II and the week intervening until
Cleveland will be utilized in making re.
pairs and giving the house thoro over
hauling and cleaning from top to bot.
tom.
It has not been decided as yet what
play will be selected for the reopening
of the Lyceum, but it will be Of the
first rank. The company, which is one
of the strongest in America, is capable
OF presenting any of the standard plays
as Percy Haswell and Theodore John,
son. When Lewis Stone and Ben Jon
son left this city they went directly tc
the Vaughn CHASER company, but wheth
err they are still with it Mr.. Speers
does not know. He has had no infor
nation as, to the personnel Of the com
pany or it's repertory, but will have
full particulars in a few days. Nego
| tiations have been pending for some
time with several leading eastern com
panies, but the deal was not closed
| until today.
There is every indication that thu
new venture will be a success. The
location of the theater makes it better
adapted for high-class stock house
than for vaudeville, and the manage
ater-goers. They want the best there
is on the boards and the Internationa
Theatrical company is in a position tx
give it to them. Popular prices will
prevail: The scale has not been finally
determined, but will probably be tn,
same as under the Ferris regime.
