when I was a small boy somebody
told me that IL | saw a rabbit, and
shouted loud, running straight at him

let me catch him.
mot long afterward, while driving
with my father one day. spied a
rabbit in the road ahead. Like fash
il was out of the wagon. and, yelling
at the top of my lungs, made for

New York City.-General Cipriano
Castro has retired temporarily from
the Presidency Of Venezuela. General
Juan Vicente Gomez, First Vice-Presi-
dent of the republic, is the present ex-
ecutive head. This Information was
contained in an official cable dispatch
received from Caracas by Carlos Ben
ito Figueredo, Venezuelan Consul-Gen
eral in this city.
Those who are acquainted with the
t~enacity with which Castro has kept
his office since 1899. with the whole
country, and other countries, too,
against him, will be surprised to learn
of his voluntary retirement, and sew
eral Venezuelans in this city see a
string tied to it. There has been not
the slightest intimation that he con-
templated such a step.
General Jose Manuel Hernandez, for
merly Venezuelan Minister at Wash
ington, who is now living in this city,
said that he did not believe Castro was
the kind of nan to retire. He said:
MY opinion is that the whole affair is
a comedy. General Gomez will be
President in name only"
The official announcement gives as
Castro'S eason for resigning that h
desires to retire to reStful private life
for some time owing to the strenuous
work his position eXacts and which he
has so successfully carried on for the
several years"
The change took place when Castro
issued a proclamation, wherein ap-
peared the following:
Should his temporary separation
bring harmony and good will TO the
country, he would willingly make his
retirement permanent-if necessary"
The dispatch also says That peace is
assured in Venezuela and tat the in
ternatiOnal questions Will be either
amicably arranged or arbitrated. If
this latter promise is carried out it is
probable that the Governments dispute
with the New York and Bermudez AS

State of Michigan, and 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 tremen-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains are carried through long
c%onveyers to grinding mills, and there
converted into -four. Then the ma
chimes make selection Of the proper
quantities of this flour In the proper
proportion and these parts are blended
into a general -four which passes over
to the big dough mixing machines, there
water, salt and a little yeast are added
and the dough kneaded the proper
length Of time.
Remember that previous to the bar
ley having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the d~iastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
into loaves about Is inches long and 5
or q inches in diameter. It is put into
this shape for convenience in second
cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed or wire
trays, these trays, in turn. placed on
great steel trucks, and rolled into the
secondary ovens, each perhaps IS or so
feet long. There the food is subjected
to a long, low heat and the starch
which has not been heretofore trans
formed, is turned into a form of sugar

Grape-Nuts if held toward the light,
and this sugar is not poured over or
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
manufacture, and reminds II Of the
little white particles Of sugar that come
out on the end of a hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for a length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digesti-
BILE food known for human use. 1t is
so perfect in it's a~daptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour

spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing

AT MERCY OF RAILWAYS
Price and Output Of Bituminous
Coal Arbitrarily Fixed.
Existence Of Statistical Bureaus " I'm
PeDnSyIvania Which Were Real1yi
Pool Clearing Houses. BrouGht Out.

Philadelphia.-That for ten years the
Pennsylvania Railroad, with the aid
Of several other lines which combined
with it, made railroad rates and arbi-
trarily fixed the price Of bitumineus
coal was the most important fact dis
closed at the session Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Attorney William A. Glasgow. Jr..
also brought out the fact that this
condition prevails at the present time.
While the methods used to reach the
desired end are slightly different, and
while the moves of the railroad men
are made more cautiously, the effect
is the same to the consumer that it
was ten years ago.
Having for years concealed the ex-
iSGence of the four Statistical bu-
reaus," which were really clearing
houses for railroad pools conducted in
restraint of trade and, it is alleged.
in direct violation of the Sherman anti
trust law, the railroads had no thought
that the commission had learned of the
existence of the bureaus.
Most Of the testimony of Importance
was obtained from J. G.. SearleS, gen
eral coal sales agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, as a witness.
While examining the witness. MI.
Glasgow held the minutes of the two
pools in which Mr.. Searles looked after
the interests of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and AS the attorney asked QueS-
ton after question which meant dam
ger to the railroads, Mr.. Searles could
only reply: IF it is in the minutes it
must be So"
Agent Searles' testimony, his mem
DRY refreshed from the minutes of the
statistical bureaus, showed thai the
railroads belonging to these bodies not
only fixed rates in q manner to deter
mine the price of coal, thus sitting
competition and creating a monopoly
for themselves, but that when the
agreed percentage of tonnage was not
gained by each road clearances were
made through these bureaus. Roads
which carried more thon their allotted
share had to pay q cash consideration
to the other roads.
Close connection was shown to exist
between the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central in certain parts of Penn
sylvania, where agreements were made
whereby certain territory was allotted
to II or other of these roads, the
roads being pledged not to carry coal
from mines i'll the territory of the
other.

this has brought down on US the
