GIANT RADIsHEs OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.

Radishes in North China and in
Japan are as important and ubiqui-
tous part Of every meal as is bread
in America. In both countries many
millions of bushels of this vegetable
are grown every year, and they are
to be had at all seasons. 1t is thus
easy to understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast, our favorite American va
riety, are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm,
moist influences of the oriental cli-
mate.
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown in
China they rapidly form great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind is snow white
and grows foot long, and still an
other is a brilliant green on the out
side and beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut Some of these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

As to Sleep and Study.

Many youth in school is con-
demned as sleepy head because his
parents neglect to see to it that he
gets the proper amount Of sleep.
Mothers know that the newborn in
FAINT should sleep about % hours each
day and that this need Of sleep is
lessened so slowly that the child de-
mands IL hours when it is about IL
years old. 1t is decided by experts
that the normal amount of sleep Is
not reduced to ten hours until between
the ages of Is and 81 years, and that
many persons require nine hours
sleep during most Of life thereafter.
Despite these facts that should be
well known, how many boys of IL to
IA years form the habit of sitting up
until ten o'clock at night and are
as regularly routed out by their pa
rents at six o'clock in the morning?
This is crime, the evil Of which is
in no degree lessened because it is a
long-established custom. Experience
and observation have proved that
those who retire in time to
sleep at least nine hours get far more
of permanent good out of their course
of study than those who double their
hours Of work by robbing themselves
of sleep, says the Chicago Sun. The
child especially should be in bed reg.
ularly in time that it will awaken
naturally at an early enough hour to
be ready for school. If allowed to
sit up late to be literally dragged from
bed in the morning, the parent should
expect the child to be in the sleepy
head class.

ing of streets they will have uniform

cash for lands appropriated for this
purpose and will facilitate loans to
owners of lands thus taken Customs
duties will be suspended for Is months
on construction material.
The bourse and commercial houses
are not yet doing business and be-
cause of lack of money the banks
are forced to continue limited pay
ments.
A state of siege continues here and
nobody is allowed on the streets after
six o'clock in the evening.
There have been some accidents as
a result of the use of dynamite in the

STANDARD OIL TRUE BILLS
TEN INDICTMENTS RETURNED BY
TWO GRAND JURiEs.
AIlege 6,428 Separate and Distinct Of
fenses of Receiving Rebates on
Shipments From Railroads.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Ten indictments,
charging 6,42S separate offenses Of re-
ceiving rebates, were returned against
the Standard Oil company by two fed.
eral grand juries Monday.
Each jury returned five indictments
to Judge Bethea.
The possible maximum fine against
the Standard Oil company is $64,2S0,-
900.
The charges-the most serious and
the most numerous ever brought
against the oil concern-will, it is
thought, end in complete revelation
of the intrigues through which the
oil company secures it's freight and
tank car reductions.
All of the offenses charged by the
grand jurors arise from rebates given
at the Whiting, Ind, refinery.
1t is alleged that the Standard Oil
company has been receiving, contrary
to law, from 271s to 33 1-3 per cent. re-
ductions on the published prices that
are applicable to Independents.
The railroads accused, though not
indicted. with the oil trust and the
number of offenses named in the in
dictments are: Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, 544; Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, 1900; Chicago & Alton, 9S4;
Chicago & Alton, 1858; Chicago C
Eastern Illinois, Evansville & Terre
Haute, Illinois Central and Southern
railroad, 1903; Chicago & Eastern Illi-
nois and Evansville & Terre Haute,
1915; Lake Shore e Michigan South
ern, 25.
In summary of the indictments
made by District Attorney Morrison, it
is shown that while independent oil
refineries are made to pay the pub
lished Interstate commerce scale of
Is cents from East Whiting to East st.
Louis the Standard Oil company pays
only six cents.
The rate to st. Louis is 1917 cents
to the general shipper of oil.
The Standard Oil company, how
ever, pays less than 71s cents.
The indictments are expected by the
federal prosecutors to prove the first
effective move to stop the oil COM
pany's system of rebating and shut
ting off competition.

HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded in Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students, as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps of the president of
this college. Thou knowest that he
was a clasmate of Thy servant,
graduate of the class Of '84, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent of the trustees, as the head
Of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousness and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight of
the students. the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
"And 1 thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students of this
college"

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
10 keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimu'
lants" under such circumstances Is
like setting the house on fire to see
If you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating, to Grape-Nuts. and says:
"For about three years I had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi-
cine, the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and SO on,
but in few days that craving, gnaW.
ing feeling would start up, and l
would vomit everything / ate and
drank.
when I started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
"My mother was very mueh DOTH
cred with diarrhea before commenc-
ing the Grape-Nuts. because her stom-
ach was so weak she could not digest
her food. Since using Grape-NEts she
is well, and says she don't think she
could live without 1t.
sTt is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after supper OF
Grape-Nuts as In the old days when
I could not realize what they meant
by a bad stomach" There Is no

brain as a good nights sleep, such az
you can enjoy after eating Grape.

GRAND JURY lNDicTs RAILROAD
AND OIL COMPANY.
One Hundred and Twenty-Three Sep
arate Violations Charged Against
Rockefeller Combine.

Jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 27.-The
New York Central Railroad company
has been indicted by the western New
York federal grand jury on charge
of giving discriminating and unlawful
freight rates on shipments of oil by
the Standard Oil company and of un-
lawfully failing to file schedule of
such rates with the interstate COM
merce commission at Washington.
The Standard Oil company was
again indicted on charge of accept
ing unlawful and discriminating
freight rates on shipments Of oil over
the Pennsylvania, the New York Gen.
trail and the Vermont Central railroad
companies
The indictments are closely related
to those found by the same jury two
weeks ago against the Standard Oil
company and the pennsylvania in the
matter of discriminating rates for oil
shipped by the Standard from Olean
to Burlington, VT.
The indictment specifies that the
New York Central made special rate
to the Standard from Rochester to
Norwood, of nine cents per 100 weight,
while such rates were not given to
other shippers, nor schedule of the
same filed with the interstate COM
merce commission. The charges were
embraced in one count.
In the Indictment against the Stand
ard Oil company there were 1913
counts, each count relating to a sepa-
rate and distinct shipment of oil over
this route.

TYPHOID FEVER AT THREE OAKS.
Dead Sparrows in Waterworss Stand
pipe Cause Epidemic in the Town.

Three Oaks, Mich, Aug. 24.-The
cause of an epidemic of typhoid fever
among the 1000 inhabitants of this
place was discovered Thursday when
member of the board of health
climbed to the top of the waterworks
standpipe and found the dead bodies
of several thousand young sparrows
in various stages of decomposition,
covering the surface of the water.
Immediately the mayor gave instruc-
tions to empty the standpipe, scrub
and paint 1t.
Hundreds of sparrows' nests have
been built on ledge that runs around
the summit of the standpipe and the
young birds are supposed to have fall
len into the uncovered standpipe
while trying to fly.
The cover made for the standpipe
when it was constructed was never
put on.
There are now twenty-one cases of
typhoid fever in the town.

PRESIDENT SENDS OUT APPEAL
REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FOR
CHILL QUAKE VICTIMS.
Number of Deaths and Amount of
Property Destroyed Probably
Greater Than at Frisco Disaster
Rain Adds to Misery of Fugitives.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 81
President Roosevelt Saturday issued a
proclamation appealing for aid for
earthquake stricken Chilli. The proc
lamation was issued after consulta-
ton with Acting Secretary of State
Bacon. The proclamation reads as
follows:
Proclamation: A dreadful calam-
ity has befallen our sister republic
quake of Valparaiso and other local
tiles. We of this nation at this mo-
ment see the city of San Francisco
struggling upwards from the ruins
in which a like catastrophe over
whelmed her last spring. We keep
keenly in mind the thankful apprecia-
ton we then felt for the way in
which the people of Europe, Asia and
both Americas came forward with
generous offers of assistance. In
this time of woe of our sister repub-
lie, I ask that our people out of their
abundance now strive to do to an
other as others last spring did to
us. The national Red Cross associa-
ton has already taken measures to
collect any subscriptions that may be
offered for this purpose, and I trust
that there will be a generous re-
spouse"
Quake Loss Is Immense.
Santiago, Chilli, Aug. PA con-
servative estimate places the property
loss at Valparaiso as result of the
earthquakes and fires at 100000 900.
The loss in the rural districts will be
immense, as not only the residences
of the landed proprietors, but the
huts of the laborers have been COM
pletely destroyed, and in many places
the bridges, fences and telegraph
and telephone posts havs been thrown
down. No passenger trains have ar
rived here from Valparaiso since Aug
ust 16. 1t is insisted here that the
effect of the disaster in the number
of deaths and the amount of property
destroyed, is probably greater than
was the case in San Francisco. VAL
paraiso is the great seaport OF the
republic, and it's commerce exceeds
that of any Pacific port except San
Francisco. The entire lower part of
the city is completely destroyed, and
the loss of life is felt throughout
Chilli, because all parts OF the country
were represented there.
Heavy rains are still falling at Val
paraiso, making the misery still
greater. Donations for the relief OF
the sufferers are arriving here from
all parts of the world.
Some idea of the state of affairs ex-
listing can be formed from the fact
that a man rode on horseback from
Valparaiso to Santiago, a distance OF
80 miles, and could not obtain food
or drink for himself or his horse dur
ing the entire distance, owing to the
desolation prevailing.
