BRITISHER APPROVES SOLDIERS
Are Best Appearing Men
in Service.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE military
appearance Of the soldier was a surprise
to George V. Winter, who came from Lon
don on invitation of the War department
to design certain improvements in the
uniforms of the service which would bring
them in line with the acknowledged super
Tor fit and makeup OF the British uni
forms.
1.-THE American soldier has the best build
and bearing in the world" declared Mr.,
Winter on the eve of his departure for
New York. Il thought Tommy Atkins
was the best in line. but am surprised
at what / have seen here. While the
American soldier is not as beefy as the
Britisher. he is smarter and better set
up He is the best looking soldier in the
world, superior TO the fighting men OF
Germany, France or England. The only
Improvement In the uniforms is to give
him a better Mt, giving full effect to his
fine qualities"
The patterns submitted by Mr.. Winter
Indicate numerous minor changes in the
uniforms, but no radical departure from
existing styles. sa

A Baby's
Taste
@ Guided TO
Grape. Nut is

A minister says: "A few days ago an
incident occurred in my house that may
interest you.
'Our baby boy. fine specimen of two
years and three months old babyhood
was brought down stairs Immediately
after he awoke.
He was teething and had eaten but
little food for two or three days, and had
to be ooaxed to do that. On this particular
morning his first request was for Grape
Nuts. of which he is very fond His
mother had same cornmeal mush cooked
and served him with that instead but
after he had looked at It for a moment
he pushed IL away Indignantly saying
don't want that I want Grape Nuts
He would not be satisfied until Grape Nuts
was served TO him. which he ate with
evident enjoyment. We were interested
in his discrimination, and you will doubt
less appreciate the boys taste"
Probably no food I'm existence-not even
, excepting the very best prepared baby
fOOds-is as well adapted TO the use OF in
fants as Grape-Nuts, well-soaked in warm
milk.
II contains the elements required for
building the bones also the gray matter
In the nerve centers. A child or an adult
fed ON Grape-Nuts will show marked i'm
provement In physical and mental ability.
Many OF the elders testify to the removal
OF physical ailments by abandoning por-
tiOns OF the food that have been in use,
and taking up Grape-Nuts regularly.

"A company, headed by s. w. Gebo Of
Montana, have made cash entry on $500
acres of coal land near here, paving into
the land ONCE at Lander Tuesday last the
sum OF S95 900 for this land This is one
OF the largest coal land deals ever made in
this state, and is considered by mining men
a gilt-edge proposition. The land lies about
twelve miles north Of Thermopolis and the
property will at once be developed on a
scale commensurate with its value II is
learned that ]. J. Hill is indirectly inter
ested in the proposition and II is given ont

as soon as they, could possibly do so. +. B
Mr., Patrick's testimony was corroborated
by that Of Mr., Abbott Of Omaha, who was
member of the party. The testimony
OF Deputy Game Warden Brown and Sam

given by them at the inquest held by Cor

size Of the crowd and the efforts made by
him and other employees at the Kursaal

One of the Smithsonian scientists
calls attention to the fact that the du-
ration Of the lives of the lower ami
mails differs from that Of mems lives
In being far more uniform. While hui
man beings die at all ages between in
fancy and senility, among the lower
animals, on the contrary, all tndlvidu-
ais of the same species live to very
nearly the same age unless killed by
violence. Some examples of remark
able longevity among animals may be
cited. For instance, there is the story
Of the elephant Ajax, which Alexander
captured at his victory over Porus. The
conqueror affixed an inscription to the
animal and set 1t at liberty. Three hun
bred and fifty years later Ajax Is said
to have been found still living. But
little dependence can beplaced on most
stories Of long life among animals.

The first mill was built fifty years ago.
There are now one hundred and ninety
seven mills, and fifteen or twenty more
are under contraction, with over five
million spindles, employing two hun
dred thousand operatives, and consum-
ing one and three-quarters million
bales of cotton. They produce nearly
six hundred million pounds of yarn,
half Of which Is exported to China and
other foreign countries. The dark side
Of the picture Is the condition of the
mill hands and their wages. The work

sunrise to sunset, and there is grow
Ing tendency among some Of the mill
owners to prolong the hours of labor
by the installation of electric light. In
these mills the same set of hands work
from five In the morning till eight at
night, with only half an hour for rest.
The hands are paid by the piece, and
