London. oct. l4.-At the semi-annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the
Grand Trunk Railroad Of Canada held
here today. the president. Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson. while not pledging him
self said he would be greatly dis
appointed if he is unable to announce
at the annual meeting an increased
dividend for the third preference
stockholders. This announcement
pacifies number of stockholders who
attended the meeting with the intent;o,
CT attacking the policy Of the dfrec-
tors.
President Wilson discussed the in
creased taxation imposed by the Cana
dian government. particularly the in
crease in tariff on rails.
If the company continued 10 Inv
rails in the United States, il wouId
mean an increase in cost of Il o5o on1
for renewals in the present system and
an increase over the estimated cosf ~
the construction of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway Company of $4,000 ,ND
The president also complained Of Tho
great increase in taxation imnosed no

anticipated in another year to 500 tho
completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway from Edmonton to Winnipeg
but he feared that the government
would not be ready with the section
from Winnipeg to Lake Superior juno
uon. Sir Charles further announced
that the directors would shortly ask
for subscriptions to a debenture issue
for the construction of new cars for
the Grand Trunk Pacific, which until
required by the new road. would be
used by the Grand Trunk Railroad.

guise Of attractive articles for the table.
! What constitutes a good tablet The
answer will be made in accordance with
our different tastes. Nature provides
literally for human sustenance in de-
licious fruits, succulent vegetables and
grains that are abundant in variety
and full Of nutriment. We should be-
gin the day with fruit, either in the
natural state or well cooked. Here
there is large room for choice. Baked
apples and stewed prunes would in
many cases shut the door on bitter pills
and potions once considered inevitable
as part of the diet of children. Is
there anywhere a man or woman grow
ing old who has not disagreeable recol-
lections of nauseous doses forced upon
reluctant lips in childhood7 There was
once a brew compounded Of SIENNA and
mamma that had a peculiarly odious
flavor, and as for syrup Of rhubarb,
squills, paregoric and castor oil, few
were the boys and girls who were not in
former days compelled to take them
as the price Of health. Fruit in its
season does away in the main with the
necessity for such doses, and is, there
fore, the foundation of good table.
Next to this come cereals of every
kind. the chief requirements for the

habit of preparing and serving soup
every day. and it will be found that
this is as easy and simple as any other
course.
AS an introduction to dinner a soup
with meat as basis, or with bisque
of vegetables and milk, is an admirable
aid to digestion, and acts as spur
when one is too weary Immediately to
assimilate more solid food. A roast or
a broil of beef, mutton or chicken, fol-
lowing soup, accompanied by two vege-
tables, sufficiently fills the bill for an
ordinary dinner. After this may come
salad or sweet, according to choice.
In the daily menu these are not neces-
sary at the same time, altho when the
dinner is a function to which guests
have been asked, neither of these
courses can be omitted.
In some departments Of the home
there must always be constant eonsid-
Grafton of ways and means, since most
incomes are limited and no single indi-
vidual can do everything that he or she
would like. In the view Of the prudent
it is wiser to dispense with clothing
than with good food, as we still want
for the daily work what the ancients
priced above all things-a sound mind
in a sound body.

about wife and mother whose vanity
was so pronounced that for the sake Of
personal adornment, rich garments, and

puts the emphasis Of living on dress and
spends SO much for clothing that neither
body nor brain can be furnished with a
diet that makes good, red blood, and
maintains physical strength at the high
est point Of excellence.

puts the scraps and bits that combine
to make savory soup.
A good table is one on which at every
meal appetizing and nourishing food is
placed in sufficient variety to tempt the
palate and build up the family, from the
baby to the grandfather, in health and
vigor. We hear great deal in these
days about food adulteration, and it is
safe to say that people who depend
largely on canned goods and prepared
foods should buy only of the best manu-
facturers, and avoid those whose wares
cannot stand the test Of chemical an
alysis.
To say that all such foods are adulter-
ated is to speak foolishly, and to utter
a sweeping censure that is not deserved.
There are firms whose very names guar
antee their responsibility, and whose
imprint on any brand Of meat or vege-
tables may be instantly and fearlessly
accepted. Here there is peril in choos-
ing what is offered at a bargain. The
cheapest viands on the grocer s counter
are not invariably the best. Probably
a day is coming when foods Of every
kind will be submitted, as milk and
cream now are, to critical inspection, SO
