FEED YOU MONEY
Feed Your Brain, and 1T VIII Feed You
Money and Fame.

"Ev(r since boyhood l have been
especially fond of meats, and am con-
yinced l ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
"The result was that l found myself,
q few years ago, afflicted with ailments
of the stomach and kidneys, which in
terfered seriously with my business.
cat last took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of
the heavy meats, etc, that had consti-
tuted my former diet.
81 found that was at once benefited
by the change, that was soon relieved
from the heartburn and the Indigestion
that used to follow my meals, that the
pains in my back from my kidney af-
lection had ceased, showing that those
organs had been healed, and that my
nerves which used to be unsteady, and
my brain, which was slow and lethargic
from a heavy diet of meats and greasy
ually, and none the less surely, been
restored to normal efficiency. Now
every nerve is steady and my brain
and thinking faculties are quicker and
more acute than for years past.
"After my old style breakfasts l used

feeling of weakness which hindered me
seriously in my work, but since /
have begun to use Grape-Nuts food ]

Railroad Rate Legislation.

! T~estifying before the Senate Com
nittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner prouty said in
discussing the proposition 10 give that
commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. | have never advocated any
law, and l am not now III favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commits
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it Is done in some
countries, l am opposed to it. The
railway rate Is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest OF It's property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, 1t deprives the
railroad company Of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of q
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When you
put in q rate that is Inherently un-
reasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. l
have looked at these cases q great
many times, and 1 can only come to the
conclusion that a railroad company is
entitled to charge a fair and reasonable
rate, and if any order Of a commission,
if any statute of q State Legislature,
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway com
pany."

Legend of the Ostrich.

Among the Arabs there is a curious
legend to account for the Ostrich's resi-.
dence in the desert. "On a certain day
appointed" so the story runs, "all ere
ated beings met together to decide upon
their respective order and precedence,
All went smoothly until the ostrich,
pleading its inability to fly, disowned
the birds and claimed to take rank with
the mammals. These, however, would
have nothing to say to a creature
clothed not with fur, but with feathers,
while the birds, when the ostrich went
dejectedly back, r~epudiated it also as a
traitor to its race. But the ostrich
was equal to the occasion and declared
that being neither mammal not bird
it must be an angel, At this all the
other animals Indignantly rushed upon
the ostrich and drove it before them
into the desert, where it has lived in
solitude ever since, with no u TO
contradict it."-Chicago News.

The Mean Godfather.

Congressman Morrell, of Philadel-

river appropriations, mentioned a
mean man.
There are many near men," he
said, "but this man surely was the
meanest of them all. Besides being
mean he was also rich.
ITO a poor young couple living near
him a son was born and they decided
to name their son after the mean man,
and to ask him to stand as its god
father.
HE consented. He was flattered.

young couple was great. They won

ltary post at the entrance OF the his
torical Chickanauga battlefield, where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle Of September 10 and 20, 1863,
contains about one hundred buildings,
The seventy-five principa. ones of which
are lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are i'll use, while sixty-fve street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenue of
the post.
In 1908 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
llluminant so evident that the Govern
ment, March 20, 1904, placed the on
tract for the Chickamauga plant, in
which every c%itizenof the United States
should have his pro rata of pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of a~cetylene to this mill
tary post. Since becoming satisfied of
the efficiency, superiority and econom-
ical advantages of this particular il
luminant, the United States has in
stalled a number of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti-
buttons.

MikadO's Envoy Inqusitive.

Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese Minister,
formally asked the State Department
what this Government intended to do
about the Russian vessels.
Acting Secretary LOOMS replied that
they would be informed if they did not
leave Manila harbor forthwith.
Clearly Mr.. Takahira wishes only to
establish a formal record. He said,
smilingly:
I'VE have every confidence that the
policy to be followed will be in strict
accord with the neutrality so carefully
maintained by the Washington Govern
ment."
1t was believed that the Japanese
Government would not object to the
paroling of Admiral Enquist and his
officers.

So Secretary of War Taft cabled to
Manila to GOvernor-General Wright,
who is the medium Of communication
between this Government and Admiral
Train, the naval commander in the Far
East.
After a conference with Secretaries
Taft and Morton, President Roosevelt
decided that, as the three Russian
cruisers were not damaged by sea or
storm, but in battle. this Government
must refuse them permission to repair
in an American port. On the other
hand, if Admiral Enquist wishes to put
out from Manila Bay with his ships
he is at perfect liberty TO do so.
Governor Wright cabled that the
Russian Admiral had received no COM

was expecting orders. 1t was conf

would have entire charge of the dis

incidentally, it was reported unOfTi-

arrived off Corregidor Island, which is
at the mouth of Manila Bay.
The Presidents decision, "intern Or

the best opinion Of naval experts and
international lawyers here, and is in
harmony with the policy of strict neu-
trality maintained by this Government
since the war began.
Everything possible will be done for
