FOOD HELPS
In Management Of a r. r.

Speaking of food, a railroad man says:
my work puts me out in all kinds of
weather, subject to irregular hours for
meals and compelled to eat oil kinds of
food.
For : years | was constantly troubled
with indigestion, caused by eating heavy,
fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly cooked foods,
such as are most accessible to men in my
business. Generally each meal or lunch
was followed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which de-
stroyed my sleep and almost untitled me
for work. My brain was so muddy and
foRqy that it was hard for me to discharge
my duties properly.
This lasted till about a year ago when
nv attention was called to Grape-Nuts
food by a newspaper adj, and | concluded
10 try it.. Since then | have used Grape
Nuts at nearly every meal and sometimes
between meals. We railroad men have
little chance to prepare our food in our
cabooses, and l fad Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for it il ready cooked.
"To make a long story short, Grape
Nuts has made a new man of me. ] have
no more burning distress in my stomach,
nor any other symptom OF indigestion. ]

Nuts. and my brain works as clearly and

cent. Of the average discharge and 80 per
cent. OF the low water discharge OF the
Niagara River will cease TO pass over the
falls when the works are completed ana
in fun Operation. The report continues:
The quantity to be diverted is more than
double the quantity which now passes
over the American fall. which at the aver
age stage is about 27,S00 cubic feet. That
this will in general have an injurious effect
upon the falls seems self-evident. Inc
volume Of water to be diverted is about
the equivalent of the entire discharge OF
Lake Superior over the Sault Ste. Marie.
The amount thus far actually, diverted
il but II 800 cubic feet per second, and has
had an appreciable effect upon the falls.
"To foretell with accuracy the effects
in detail of the full diversion authorized
would require a more complete knowledge
Of the bed OF the river than .is now obtain
able. The water taken on the Canadian
side below the crest Of the rapids will affect
the Horseshoe fall alone. II all that taken
on the American side should affect the
American fall alone it would practically
leave it dry, but it seems probable that only
a part of this diversion will be at the ex-
pense of the American fall.
Exactly whatportion that Will be cannot
be stated, with precision, but from q study
OF the channels and'reefs, 80 far as they are
known, a reasonable estimate Is that the
water would come from the two arms in
about the proportion of one-sixth from the
American falls and five-siXths. from the
Horseshoe fall, Exactly what form the
changes in the two cataracts will take,
whether they will be broken up. into a
greater number of streams, or simply be re-
duced in volume, retaining in. general their
present form, cannot now be foretold, for
the reason that there is no accurate knowl-
edge Of the distribution and depth of
water on the crests. -~'
If 90, 900 cubic feet per second be diverted
the loss willb be important but IL the diversion
be limited to this amount or reduced ,as here
after indicated, it may not prove disastrous.
This cannot be definitely detet3hined until
the. works now under construction have
been completed and put IN operation, When
have not suffered serious damage, as a
scenic spectacle, it does lot follow that
additional water may be diverted with i'm
punity. Additional Diversion would be an
experiment even more dangerous thar that
now being tried. and in our opinion should
not be permitted"

HURRYING SECOND CLASS MAIL.
Postmaster wilcox Has Already Recon-.
mended improvements.

In regard to the proposed plans for ex-
pediting the movement Of second and
third class mail matter in New York, men
toned in a Washington despatch to The
sun, Postmaster WILCOX said yesterday
that he had been considering the matter
ever since he took office and had recom-
mended to the Postmaster-General certain
changes in the laws now governing the
handling Of mail matter.
According to the present postal regular
tions, matter taken from publication offices
direct to tn mail traihs is not properly
mail. although weighed by Government
inspectors, because it is not transported
by regular mail carriers. Postmaster Will
cox has recommended to the Postm aster-
General that an amendment be added to
the postal regulations allowing all periodi-
Gals to be weighed by Government in
speotors. and providing that catch tickets
be issued for them and that they shall
then be considered mail. The proposed
amendment would also grant to the wagons
carrying such matter the full privileges
of regular mail wagons -,
These regulations would do away with
the present cumbersome system of handling
these periodicals twice. and they have
the unanimous Endorsement of local pub
fishers.

WASHINGTON. March 24.=Secretary Taft
appeared before the Committee on Military
Affairs OF the Senate to-day in defence of
the General Staff of the Army, which he
acquitted of responsibility for the new bill

Il am the chief conspirator in the work"of
recognizing the medical corps" said the
Secretary, and the General Staff took NJ
part in the preparation of the bill except to
'mutilate' it, as the medical corps has ex-
pressed it."
Secretary Taft said that the medical
corps of the army was sadly di~sorEanized. "
In the navy most appointees were retired
at a higher rank than was possible in the
army. In the military establishment it was
hardly possible for any one to be- retired
above the rank of Lieutenant-Co Colonel.
The medical corps of the army, because of
the competition, had lost about twenty
officers the past year and secured only four.

Youth, health and love they had
What more could mortal ask?
No idle dreams Of wealth and fame
When joy attends each task
Tho plain and even poor,
The dear home place,
To them twas beautiful
Love was the saving grace.
Toward sunset now their faces turn,
And love abideth still, tho youth is gone;
Storms came and shadows fell,
But hearts were warm and clouds passed on.
Plain as of old
Is the dear home place,
But now, as then, ...
Love is the saving grace.

Where the shadows are Pickering ever,
And the places that knew them once on earth
Shall know them no more forever.
