A change to the right kind Of food

in Weldon, ILL.,, says:

severe stomach trouble, accompanied

scarcely retain any food at all, al
though l tried every kind. l had be-
come completely discouraged, had CIV
on up all hope and thought l was
doomed to starve to death, till one day
NV husband trying to find something l
could retain brought home some Grape
Nuts.
ITO. my surprise the food agreed
with me, digested perfectly and with
out distress I began to gain strength
st once. my flesh (Which had been
fabbv) grew firmer, my health improy-
ed in every way and every day, and
in a very few weeks l gained 20
nounds in weight I liked Grape-Nuts
so well that for four months l ate no
other food, and always felt as well
satisfied after eating as if had sat
down to a fine banquet.

sick stomach nor of the headaches,
that used to have when l ate other
food. l am now a well woman, doing
all my own work again, and feel that

PLAGUE DEATH ROLL IS VAST.
Great Britain Accused of Taking made
quate Measures in India.


quate Measures in India.
In 1903 the number Of deaths from
plague in India was 5000; in 1904 it
was over 100000, being 100000. Of
the 100000 deaths more than $4,000
occurred in one province, and that
province was the Punjab, the one from
which some of our best Indian SOL
diers are recruited. Consider the pos
sible significance of fact like this
upon the efficiency of our Indian army.
The Punjab is not large province,
it's actual population being about TO-
100000, or only about two-thirds that
of England, and yet the deaths in the
Punjab during 1904 from plague
amounted to over 100000 in the course
Of twelve weeks only.
We believe that these figures, which
have been published before, have
never been contradicted, though they
seem incredible. What would be
thought, said or done in England if
in the course of twelve weeks 100000
persons were swept off by the disease?
Surely if this destruction threatened
to be an annual one would not any
inactivity on the part of the author
titles in whom prevention is vested be
deeply resented?
The English public has, of course,
not realized the position, and though
we are not playing the alarmist with
any special relish for the Office, we
think that the policy Of concealment
or the absence of policy that has nee
essitated concealment has gone on
long enough.
The small number of deaths from
plague in Hong-Kong and the Mauri-
thus is regularly published every week
in the daily papers, and presumably
the information comes from official
sources, but the mortality which oc-
ours in India from the same disease,
and which by it's magnitude is dan
ger not only to India, but to the world,
is never published-it is not consid-
cred wholesome reading.
The public is not aware from official
information of the terrible tragedy
going on in one part of the empire
in that part which is always termed
the brightest jewel in the possession
of the crown, for whose welfare we
are nationally responsible, and for
whose possession and maintenance
some of the noblest British blood has
been shed.
We have commented in the Lancet
upon the inquiry undertaken Jointly
by the Lister Institute of Preventive
Medicine, the India Office and the Roy
al Society, the first fruit of which is
to be the dispatch of two bacteriolo-
gists to the east, and while allowing
that the idea Of the inquiry is sound
one we have pointed out that we do
not think the measures to be under
taken really meet the case. Three and
a half millions of people have died
from the plague in India since 1896.
and the proposal to send two bacteriol-
ogists to look into the causes of the
tragedy strikes us as inadequate, how
ever capable and distinguished the
gentlemen connected with the joint in
quiry may be, and indeed are.-Lon-
don Lancet

WEAVER To
PROSECUTE
OFFICIALS

Philadelphia, July ls.-As a result OF
advices received from Elihu Root. special
counsel for Mayor Weaver, II is probable
that the mayor will within a few days
institute criminal prosecutions against
certain persons who are prominent in
municipal affairs.
Mr.. Root advises the mayor in the face
Of the refusal OF District Attorney John
c. Bell to take the initiative in bringing
further prosecutions the mayor should
exercise his right 70 go before a magls-
trate and carry the prosecutions as far
as the law Will permit him.
This opinion was sent 10 Mayor Weaver
yesterday and was the result OF con
ference held I'm New York last Friday
Those who participated in the conference
besides Mr. Root and the mayor were
former United States Attorney General
Wayne S. MacVeagh, who is special coun-
sci for the committee Of nine OF this city;
former Judge James Gay Gordon, private
counsel for Mayor Weaver. and Julien T.
Davies and Jt seph s. Auerbach OF coun-
sci for the committee OF 20.
The purpose Of the conference was 10
decide whether the mayor should take
the Initiative in further prosecutions, the
district attorney having refused 10 do so.
MdSbI W ed ct anu JuuEt JoIupH last
week requested that the district attorney
in drawing up indictments against Coun-
Gilman Frank II. Caven and John W.
Hill. former chief OF the Bureau OF Fill
tration, should bring the charge OF con-
spiracy with certain other persons to de-
fraud the city.
Councilman Caven is under bail for vio-
lating his councilmanic oath in being in
terested in city contracts and former
Chief Hill is under bond 10 answer the
charges of forgery and Justification OF
records I'm conr ections with contracts for
the construction OF the city's filtration
plants.
At the bearing given both men before
the magistrate the name OF the contract
ing firm Of -. j. McNichol & Co, which
is constructing the greater part OF the
filtration system, was frequently brought
in by witnesses. The members Of this
firm are former Insurance Commissioner
Israel w. Durham, the leader OF the 10
cal Republican organization; State Sena-
tor James p McNichol and his brother,
Daniel j. McNichol
The district attorney In refusing 10 add
the charge OF conspiracy 20 the indict-
ment drawn up against Caven and Hill
and 10 initiate criminal proceedings
against certain other persons" said that
such charges. based on the evissAnce taken
at the Caven and Hill hearing, could not
under the law be made. He suggested
that the mayor take the initiative.
Mayor Weaver and Judge Gordon insist
ed that it was the district attorneys duty
10 begin prosecutions. they declaring that
the evidence in his hands warranted him
in so doing
Mr.. Bell persisted in his refusal, and
the New York conference followed Mr.
Roots opinion of the question was sent
in a letter 20 Mayor Weaver today.
