GOOD FOOD Is The
SECRET OF HEALTH
In Kernel of Wheat Nature Provides
Every Necessary Food Element.

The human body constantly consumes
the vital elements of which il is COM
posed, just as fire consumes fuel And,
just as fire dies without fuel, so does
the body die unless replenished with it's
elements.
There are fourteen of these essential
elements, and as each is consumed the
body must be replenished if life and
strength are to be sustained. This is
the secret of health
The air supplies the oxygen which the
body needs, but all the other elements
must be derived from our food. These
are just as important as oxygen, and
we cannot exaggerate the Importance
of selecting food which provides all the
nutrition so necessary to life and
health.
Some foods contain nitrogen. These
are tissue building foods Some foods
contain carbon and hydrogen. These are
force and heat making foods. Some
foods contain phosphorus, potash or
other of the vital elements.
Nature has given us one food that
contains all these elements of life This
is wheat, and when 1t is prepared as
Malta-Vita there is no other food so rich
in all the nourishment needed by the
body: no other so easily digested
Malta-Vita is the whole of the best
white wheat, thoroughly cooked and
steamed. freely mixed with pure barley
malt extract, then rolled into little wa.
fer flakes and baked crisp and brown.
The malt extract converts the starch of
the cooked wheat into maltese, or malt
sugar Physicians recommend maitose
and Malta-Vita Is rich in it.
Malta-Vita is always absolutely clean
food, and just as delicious as healthful
Try some today with milk, cream or
fruit You never tasted anything quite
so good. Ready to eat. All grocers.

lection of Delegates to
the Congress.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-President
Roosevelt has decided to appoint
Charles B. Aycock. former Governor Of
North Carolina. and Van Leer Polk Of
Tennessee members of the delegation
from the United States TO the Pan
American conference. which is to meet
in July at Rio Janeiro. These ap-
pointments are to be made in accord
ance with the wishes of the Southern
members of Congress. who. in view of
the fact that many OF the questions to
be considered by the conference are of
especial interest to the South. have felt
that men identified with that section
of the country should be members of
tho commission Polk was Consul Cen
err at Calcutta. India, during Presi-
dent Cleveland's last administration.
The full commission as now consti-
tuted is as follows: William A. Buch-
anan of New York, chairman; Professor

versity of Illinois, Julio Larrinaga,
resident commissioner from Porto Rico;
Charles B. Aycock of North Carolina
and Van Leer Polk of Tennessee.

DIVORCE UPSET
BY HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal Decides
State Lacks Jurisdiction
Unless Both Live Therein
MANY CASES AFFECTED
Connecticut Decree Held to
Be Invalid, as Only the
Husband Resided There

WASHINGTON, April 16.-In an opinion
by Justice White the Supreme Court of
the United States today decided the case
of John w. Haddock versus Harriet Had
dock. a divorce proceeding instituted in
the courts of New York City in favor Of
the woman. The Haddocks were married
in 1868. and the husband claimed to have
been an unwilling participant in the cere-
mony. He says, in his answer to the
woman's complaint, that he left her i'm
mediately after the marriage rites were
performed and during all the time that
has intervened has seen her only three
times.
In 1854 he secured a divorce in the State
of Connecticut, where he then resided,
and in 1882 was married there to another
woman.
The .New York Supreme Court held the
ConnecScut marriage to be Illegal, decreed
the first wife to be still the legal wife,
and directed Haddock to pay her an an
nuity of $3.50. That finding was sustained
by today's decision, which held that Mrs.
Haddock was without the jurisdiction of
the Connecticut court.
Justice White, in deciding the case, laid
down the general principle that State in
which only one party to a divorce pro-
eeeding resides has no right to dissolve
q marriage tie which all other States
must respect.
Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown
united in dissenting opinions which were
delivered by Justice Brown. They took
the position that the Connecticut divorce
proceeding was regular and is entitled to
due credence In other States.
Justice Brown declared in his opinion
that the court had taken backward step
in this direction.
Justice Holmes also dissented from the
decision Of the court, but delivered an
independent opinion. He said the result
of the decision would be to illegitiInatdze
many children, but added that he would
not go so far as to predict that civiliza
ton would come to an end whatever the
conclusion in the case.

CASTRO'S 5 ACTION
A DEEP PUZZLE
Reason for His Retirement
From the Presidency Not
Understood by the People

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
April 16.-Passengers arriving here to-
day from Venezuela say that the action
of General Castro in retiring from the
presidency in favor of Vice President
Gomez is not clearly understood in
Venezuela, but the general opinion
seems to be that his retirement Is only
temporary. General Castro has gone
one way as a private citizen, unattend-
ed and paying the regular fare on the
railroad, while his wife has gone an
other way. The former Presidents sis
ter arrived here today.
The resignation of the Venezuelan
Cabinet is also causing speculation.
The ministers resigned when Castro
gave up the reins of power. but Gomez
has not appointed new Cabinet. and
therefore the old ministers have re-
tanned their portfolios. On the other
hand Castro's followers are scattering,
leaving the capital In different ways.
AT Caracas the political atmosphere
has completely changed, as is apparent
on all countenances.
The opinions expressed here. the
nearest point to Venezuela, are con-
fiicting. The venezuelans as a rule are
reticent when questioned on the sub
Ject. They generally say that Castro is
sick, and hesitate to give their opinion
or his retirement from the presidency.

WITH A BOGUS CHECK

man calling himself Lewis the
Jeweler" at so Ninth street complained
yesterday to Under Sheriff Finn that
a man named T. J. williams, represent
Ing himself as a deputy sheriff. had
obtained a diamond ring valued at
$256 from him and had given a bogus
check for the amount in payment of
the gem. Lewis said Williams had
displayed a deputy sheriffs badge mum
bered 233, and had previously pur-
chased a watch for $50 for which he
paid cash.
Having established himself in the
good graces of Lewis he came to the
latter's store last Saturday and said
he would like to purchase the diamond
ring, which he had greatly admired on
the occasion of his previous visits
Williams was given the ring and he
handed Lewis a check signed by f.
Connell for s256, which Williams in
dorsed. When Lewis tried to cash the
check at the Citizens Bank he was In
formed that there were no funds to
ConnelPs credit When Lewis realized
that he had been victimized out of his
diamond ring he put the case in the
hands, Of the Police Department. Under
Sheriff Finn ascertained that there IL
no deputy sheriffs badge numbered
233. Williams used the badge to aid
him in the scheme to purioin the ring
The officials of the Citizens Bank told
Lewis that they had heard of Will
liams having been engaged IN similal
schemes before.

LIGHTNING RUN
FOR NEW TRAIN
Company Plans to Make the
Trip Between Chicago and
New York in Ten Hours
WILL CONSTRUCT LINE
Electric Road Projected to
Reduce the Distance by
About Two Hundred Miles

CHICAGO. April 1s.-Ten hours be-
tween Chicago and New York on trains
operated by electricity nd making an
average speed of seventy-fivs miles an
hour is the plan of incorporators Of the
Chicago and New York Electric Air Line
Railroad. The scheme appears to be far
in the future, however. 1t Is asserted
that some of the right Of way has been
secured" but the projectors decline to
say how much. They hope to have the
road in operation in five years.
AS the name implies, the proposed road
win sacrifice everything for speed Ac-
cording to the statement of Jonathan
d. Price, president OF the Cooperative
Construction Company, which was or
ganized to build the road, the line Will De
742 miles long, or 200 miles shorter than
any steam road now connecting the two
cities.
Part of the line has already been sur
veyed. The first section OF the road TO
be built. according to the promoters, will
be out of Chicago, and the work on this,
one of the incorporators said last night,
will begin soon.
In choosing the route no attention Is
paid to whether the line runs through
large cities or not. AS now surveyed the
road will be eight miles south of South
Bend. Ind, and at that point 1t Is pro-
posed to build station and run a spur
into the city. The same plan will be FOL
lowed where the road passes near any
other city These spur lines will be con-
nected with the street railway systems In
each town, and 1t is proposed to run
freight trains at night
The details as to the kind Of cars tc
be used have not been thoroughly
worked out, according to F. III. Wood,
lawyer, living in Oak Park. ILL.,, who Is
one of the incorporators- He suggested
however, that the Germans have at
tanned great success in building third
rail roads. such as it is proposed this one
will be, and he mentioned the fact that
on a specially constructed roadbed elec-
trio trains there have been operated al
131 miles an hour.

PARLIAMENT MAY ACT
Bill Enabling Victims to
Obtain Legal Redress Is
Likely to Be introduced
sPEcIAL pIsPATcH 10 THE cALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
LONDON, April 16.-Since the general
election, which resulted in such a sweep
ing Liberal victory, numerous instances
have occurred of small tradesmen being
boycotted by their rich patrons because
they dared to vote for Liberal candidates
A typical case has just come TO light in
the town of Wareham, East Dorsetshire.
A fishmonger there named Churchill, as
Stunning that as a free-born Englishman
he had the right to exercise his own judg
ment In political matters, worked and
voted for the Liberal candidate and had
the satisfaction OF seeing him elected. A
few days afterward he received a letter
from one Of his best customers. Mrs. Rad
clyffe, stating that she had decided to get
her fish elsewhere, her reasons being
summed up in the concluding sentence of
her letter:
1T has got to serious pitch now, and
Conservatives must hold together and
support each other"
The loss of her patronage was a serious
matter for the 1shmonger. He wrote the
naughty dame respectful letter asking
her to reconsider her decision and calling
attention to the fact that he had served
her household for many years TO her en-
tire satisfaction.
''You are not only doing me injury by
stopping your trade with me, he said,
'but also my wife, who is so III that l
want all the trade and work / can get to
be able to get the nourishment she re-
quires.'
That did not touch Mrs. Radcliffe. She
was prepared to make any sacrifice of
others to the Tory cause. She conde-
scended to acknowledge that she had al
ways found the poor fishmonger civil
and obliging," but as to reconsidering her
decision and helping him to make a liv-
ing for his sick wife, why should l do
so, as you not only voted but worked
hard for a man who has bound himself to
increase the taxation on land owners and
TO do his best TO do away with the church
1 like to attend?"
AS the instance is by no means an iso-
lated one the publication of the corre-
spondence has aroused much indignation
against those who employ such tactics.
Boycotting is the last thing that is likely
to rehabilitate Toryism in the eyes Of a
country which has so Enthusiastically
shown its preference for Liberalism. More
votes viii be lost than can possibly be
gained by it. But in individual cases.
such as that of the fshmonger, it causes
great hardship and suffering and 1t is
probable that bill will be introduced in
Parliament which will enable the victims
TO obtain legal redress.

TO HASTEN BUILDING
OF SUNNYSIDE SCHOOL
Board of Education Says That the
Fear of Residents Is
GrOundIess.

The Board of Education yesterday
denied that there was any cause for
alarm on the part of the residents of
Sunnyside that a new schoolhouse will
not be built in the district. The Sun
nyside School was among the first six
ordered built by the board under an al
lowance of $4,000 in the bond issue.
The lowest bid filed some two months
ago was for $4,000, and was rejected
because it was $1,000 in excess of the
estimate. 1t is now for the Board of
Works, through the City Architect, to
prepare revised plans for the building
so as to bring the estimated cost down
to $4,000.
superintendent of Schools Roncovieri
suggested to the Board of Works that
the plans for the Laguna Honda School,
for which a contract for $4,000 was
awarded, be utilized for the Sunnyside
School, as both sites are the same in
area and similar in grade Nothing,
however, was done by the Board of
Works in regard to the matter. City
Architect Shea had an interview with
the Mayor in the afternoon and as
sured him that the modified plans for
the building would be ready in thirty
days so bids could be invited again.
Roncovieri blames the division of re-
sponsibility for the building of school
houses between the Board of Educa-
tion and the Board of Works for the
delay in the construction of school
buildings. He says that If the Board
of Education had absolute control in
the matter the plans for the buildings
would have been prepared long ago.
An effort will now be made to hasten
the construction of the Sunnyside
School in view of the fear of property
owners that the board does not intend
to construct the building. which fear
President Altman of the Board of
Education says is groundless.
