THE ARMY RATION
A GOOD SUGGESTION FROM AN OLD soLDIEr

The government has been experimenting for some
years seeking q condensed food to be used by
soldiers in case OF emergency when the army shall

wagon trains and the troops shall carry their ra-
tons for a number of days In their haversacks
While progress has been made, the problem
has not yet been solved.

England. says In this connection:
II have been using Grape-Nuts food for some
time, and my liking for 1t increases with use. /
find 1t extremely paatable and not only digestible
but aid to the digestion of other food which
used to give me trouble.
what has particularly struck me is the fact that
very small quantity OF 1t is sufficient for an en-
tire meai-that really need no other food. 1t is
my custom to begin my breakfast with two heaping
tablespoonfuis OF Grape-Nuts with cream By the
time have eaten that find that my appetite has
been completely satisfied. feel the comfortable
sensation of one who has breakfasted wisely and
well. and while sometimes eat a little OF other
things, do it more as matter Of habit than any
thing else. find that go till noon on the
two tablespoonfuls of GrapeNuts and cream alone.
and what is also an important consideration with
out any uncomfortable of fullness such as
usually feel when / eat my old style breakfast.
Especially IL this IL drink a cup OF good hot
Postum Coffee with the meal. for must confess
the old kind OF coffee ILLS full of gas and dis
comfort for some honrs after drink It.
Now II has occurred to me that Grape-Nu food
ought to be added to the army ration for the
that 1t furnishes much satisfying, nourishng
food in such small bulk. soldier with package

NEW YORK, October II. = The cotton

There was heavy realizing by recent buy

New York, Oct. 25.-More startling
than the testimony before the Legisla-
tive Investigating Committee was Me-
Curdy's announcement that the Board
of Trustees of the Mutual Life Insur-

Another interesting thing was the
statement issued by Paul Morton that

nine months of this year would exceed
the expenditures by Sl6,700,000 an in
crease of over 100000 over last year.
The receipts from premiums for the
third quarter of 1905 was sl,0O0,000
less than in 1904, and the expenses for
the third quarter over $4,000 less than
last year, but for the first six months

was over 100000.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-Twenty- five police
men and 100 students of a Chicago col.
lege, dental and surgery, engaged in a
fierce fight this afternoon and before
peace was restored fifteen students were
arrested. During the fight the poice
were forced to fire over the heads Of the
students to scare them back.
The freshmen and other classes met
in the annual class rush today and the
battle became so desperate that a riot
call was sent in.
When the police arrived, street car
and wagon traffic was blocked. The stu
dents in the thick of the fight Joined
forces as soon as they saw the patrol
wagons and pelted the blueeoats with
stones and vegetables, while water was
poured on them by students from an an.
upper floor OF the college.
After this had went on for some time
and the police were getting decidedly
the worst of it, they drew their re-
volvers and fired several shots. This
brought the students to their senses
and they ran in all directions, but the
police succeeded in capturing fifteen.
All the students bore signs of the con.
flict, and number received severe cuts
about the head and face.
