The average citizen who wishes TO
purchase "a horse for business purT-
poses generally patronizes a gyp es-i i

The animal he purchased was de-
scribed by the auctioneer in the fol
lowing terms: "Tnis horse. gentlemen,
is the property of a private party GO;
ing abroad, warranted wind and work,
good eyes, no cribber, a dead down down
puller, cannot hook him wrong, kind
in all kinds of harness, has plenty OF
spirit, won't run away and will be
sold for the high dollar. Now, what
am I offered for this magnificent
piece of horseAesh? 5000, bid? 500,
am I offered? Come, men, start him.;
he's got to be Sold" The greeny Of
fered 81, and as the price was not adj
vanced he got the trotter. When last
seen he was pulling him up Broad
street by the halter. Some one in
the crowd stated that the officers at
the Zoo would not give 50 for the
horse to feed it to the animals.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one of
them. and If there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other Ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with q little salt and yeast used
In the making Of Grape.Nuts, we VIII
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open ut
all times to visitors, and thousands
pass through each month, inspecting
every department and every process.
Our factories are so clean that one
could, with good relish, eat a meal
from the floors.
The work people, both men and wo-
men, are Of the highest grade in the
State of Michigan, aud according to the
State labor reports, are the highest paid
in the State for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you Will
see when you inspect the manufacture
of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremcn-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains are carried through long
conyeyers to grinding mills, and there
converted into -four. Then the ma
chimes make selection OF the proper
quantities of this -four In the proper
proportion and these parts are blended
| into general -four which passes over
to the big dough mixing machines. there
water. salt and little yeast are added
and fhe dough kneaded the proper
length of time. !, -,
Remember that previous to the bar:
lev having been ground II was passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the dtastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
into loaves about Is inches long and :
or 6 inches IN diameter. 1t is put into
this shape for convenience in second
cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma:
cbinery and the slices placed OH wire
trays, these trays. in turn, placed on
great steel trucks, and rolled into tue
secondary ovens, each perhaps IS or sc
feet long. There the food is subjected
TO a long, low heat and the starca
which has not been heretofore trans
formed, is turned into form Of sugar
generally known as Post Sugar. 1t can
be seen glistening on the granules OF
Grape-Nuts il held toward the light
and this sugar is not poured over OF
put on the food as these prevaricators
ignorantly assert. On the contrary the
sugar exudes from the interior Of each
little granule during the process OF
manufa cture, and reminds one Of the
little white particles.of sugar that conts

Philadelphia, Special.-That rates
are fixed by the Giraffe association"
composed of various coal-carryins
railroads was the admission drawn
from railroad officials at the final
hearing of the interstate commerce
commissioner investigation into the
alleged abuses of the coal trade. Thro'
Joseph G. Searles, coal traffic mana
ger of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, who is chairman OF the
All-Rail Traffic Association, it was
learned that this organization not
only fixes the percentage of tonnage
allotted to each railroad, but also es-
tablishes The rates. Counsel for the
commission produced the minutes OF
meeting of the Tidewater Bitumi-
nous Steam Coal Traffic Association
held OH September 10, 1900. Tho
records showed that resolution OF
fered by the Norfolk & Western
company permitted that company
and the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
to carry tidewater coal at the rate
of S1.25 u ton was voted down and
that the rate was fixed at Sl.40 a ton
on Mr.. Searle's resolution. At the
meeting Of ihe Norfolk & Western
Railroad complained that their in
terests were being injured by diff
ferentials in freight rates.
Establishment of Rates.
Mr.. Searles admitted that there
had been an agreement as to the ton
mage to be allowed each road and
that if one road shipped more and
another less settlement was made.
He said that there had been 10 set
Elements since 1896. In explaining
tile establishment OF rates Mr.. Searles
stated that each company fixed It's
price which was later agreed TO by
tile members of the association. Ii
any company should reduce the rate
he said it would demoralize the gen
eral situation. Mr.. Searles denied
that there was an understanding 10
maintain rates between all-rail and
all-watcr associations for the purpose
of preventing competition. 1t was
shown by the records that the rates
on soft coal were increased in l9OO
Since then there has been no change

pose of these rates was to stop COM
