The Things We Eat.

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
full to the body. Sailors on board Of
ships get scurvy when their supply OF
vegetable food is exhausted. The di-
gestive organs of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and If we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for it
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron, starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert it into life-giving sub
stances with but little effort.
EGG-O-SEE eaters are clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof of a
pudding and the proof Of EGG-O-SEE
is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides
being solid nourishment is most pal
atable. Every mouthful is joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEE for a while They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
thcv pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
rachsge of EGG-O-SEE. Have your
chiIoren eat EGG-O-SEE. 1t is their
friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when
nothing else will taste good.
You try EGG-O-SEE and you can
deduct the cost from your doctors
bills.
We send our book, Back to Nature

good, common sense. If you want a

Last Year.

Topeka, July 21.-In the last year
the taxable value Of all property in
Kansas has increased $1,000, SO5. All

was $4O4, OIL ,692. The valuation for
1905, as returned by the country
clerks, was 1881 ,976,SS7. Practically
four times this amount should be

assessments one one-third, many on
one-fourth and few one one-ffth OF
the actual cash value of the property
This would make the actual cash value

WASHINGTON. April BY a vote OF
2O2 TO 26 the House today passed the ma
tiOnaI quarantine bill. The bill places the
control OF all quarantine stations. grounds
and anchorages under the Secretary of
the Treasury, and directs that as soon as
practicable after the approval of the act

their own quarantine regulations-the
right, he said, given the States by the
constitution.

ANTHRACITE MINES CLOSED.
No Attempt Made to Operate the Large
Plants.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3-Informa-
ton concerning the conference in New
York between the operators and the
representatives of the miners was eag-
erly sought today by the idle work
men in the hard coal region.
The friendly spirit in which both
sides are reported to have met has
aroused throughout the region a feel
ing that suspension of work will be
only temporary. The situation was
practically unchanged. In Shamokin
the Enterprise colliery, owned by W. l..
Connell & Co., was operated short
handed by non union men.
In Scranton the Oxford colliery, a
small non union plant, and twenty
washeries were working, as was the
case Yesterday. Aside from those
plants there was no attempt in any part
of the region to operate the collieries
Reports from Scranton are to the ef-
feet IL at the Delaware and Hudson and

aratioas to resume as soon as possible

the mines of these companies, osten-
sibIy for guard duty. In this city the

opened two offices for the purpose of

Several minor disturbances occurred
during the day near Wilkesbarre The
companies of the State police again
natroled the roads in the vicinity of the
collieries and reported that order pre-
vailed.

WASHINGTON, April S-Arguments
were begun today in the Supreme Court

Brooks Burton's attorney did not fail to
take cognizance of Brooks attitude

alton between operators and miners in
the soft coal fields of Western Pennsyl-
wanna is hourly growing more pacific
Following the signing of the scale yes
terday the mines of several operators
resumed their operations today. al
though in many instances with reduced
forces.
In the Pittsburg district IS. 600 miners
were working and 1900 were idle,
Nearly ali of the mines Of the Pittsburg
Coal Company were in operation and it
was expected that those men who are
out would return within a day or so IT
was explained that following HOLIDAYS
IT was generally several days before all
the men returned to their labor The
cause of the idleness of the men todav.
however, was said to be due to their
failure to receive word of the signing
of the scale.

night and decided not to sign the scala
and not to work aheir mines with non

the attempt of Patrick Dolan to regain
control of the convention During the
session of the convention Dolan appeared
in the hall and attempted to preside over
the convention, announcing that he was
the only legal chairman of the meeting
The convention was in a turmoil when
Dolans counsel appeared and an at
tempt was made to eject him from the
hall. He notified the convention that n
had no legal right to remove Dolan and
then left the hall. A few moments later
disorder broke out again and the dele
gates demanded that Dolan be forciblv
thrown out of the hall. A committee was
appointed to carry out a resolution to
this effect and as the committee an
preached Dolan he quietly left the hall.
1t is expected that Dolan will appeal to
the court tomorrow to adjudge the dele
gates in contempt of court.
From other districts it is announced
that few mines are operating with full
forces, the same conditions prevailing as
in the Pittsburg district.
