Appearance, palatability, and rela-
tive cost will always and rightly be
important features in the selection
of all these cereal breakfast foods.
Corn and its preparations are rich
in carbohydrates and fat, but are
slightly less digestible than. the
other cereals. Rice is poor in pro-
tein, but remarkably free from crude
fiber, and consequently furnishes a
large proportion of digestiblc carbo-
hydratcs. Barley contains fair
proportion of nutrients and is mod
crafty digestible. All these differ
enccs in composition and digestibil-
ity are comparatively slight and
may be disrcgardcd by healthy per-
sons living on the ordinary mixed
diet.
Thoroughness of cooking is fac
tor which has bearing upon digcs-
tibility. 1t not only makes the
cereals more palatablc, but also
breaks down the walls of indiges-
tible cellulosc which surround the
starch granulcs and other nutrients,
and proudccs other changes SO that
the digestive juices can work on the
nutritive ingredients more effec-
lively. Poorly-cookcd cereals are
less palatable than the same dishes
well cooked and may cause indiges-
ton and be really harmful. When

HOT SHOT FOR UP.
IN RE COAL LANDS
interior Department of the
Government Accused of
Aiding Company in
Making the Grab.

Writing recently from Washing
ton, a correspondent says:
Affidavits are on file with the
government here and have been
called to the attention of President
Roosevelt, charging that the gigan-
tic land frauds whereby the Union
Pacific Railroad company and the
Union Pacific Goa! company secured
illegally coal lands in the state OF
Wyoming valued at many millions
of dollars, were perpetrated with the
full knowledge of the government
land office, if not with its conniv-
ance, and were known if not tacitly
assented to, by the department OF
the interior.
The sffidavits are made by Arte-
mus ]. Smith, of Smith & Brad
bury, dealers in mines and min
ing at Denver.
The papers are supplemental te
. petition and other affidavits
which were filed by Smith at the
land office of Washington early II
1903, and they make demand up
on the department to start proceed
ings for the recovery of all the Sc
questered lands.
The charges made by Smith arr
sensational in the extreme and cal
into question the integrity of Will
lam A. Richards, government lane
commissioners, and of others higf
in the employ of the government.
1t was the knowledge OF the
earlier charges made by Smiti
which led to the investigation o
the interstate commerce commission
recently at Omaha, Salt Lake Cit,
and Denver, and by which fraudu
lent land deals of great magnitude
were uncovered.
In pursuing the investigation tn
interstate commerce commission
was exceedingly careful not to un
cover the fact that these steals ant
all the details called with them
together with names and dates ant
amounts paid for alleged perjury

of the interior for more
than three years. Acting under
the suggestion of government Off
Gals, the commission carefully
avoiding exposing or making an
attack upon a coordinate branch of
the government.
Emboldened by the disclosures of
the commission, Smith has again
appealed to the department of the
interior for justice, declaring that
he has prospective interest in the
lands in question, and that he de-
sires to assert and protect his in
tcrcst
Smiths charges may be sum-
married. as follows:
That on November 21, 1908, he
placed before the department of
the interior facts and data and Of
fered to prove, if given the oppor-
tunity, that vast acreage of land
had and still was being stolen from
the government, and that little or
no attention was paid to his petit
ton.
That, after insistent demands
and repeated charges, M. E. Meyn-
dorff, special agent of the land de-
partment, made an investigation in
the Evanston district of Wyoming,
which substantiated the charges.
That, Immediately thereafter,
Myendorff was transferred perma-
Nnently to Los Angeles.
That Smith again protested and
furnished additional facts, making
his appeal directly to the secretary
of the interior, and that the latter
official ordered an investigation
made by the land commissioner.
That on December 20, 1905, q
star chamber investigation was
made at Evanston, Wyoming, dur
ing which only witnesses in the
employ of the Union Pacific Goa
company were called and that saic
witnesses were secretly heard.
That almost Immediately after
this hearing, and on the very day
the department received a deter.
mined protest from Smith, togethe,
with substantiating facts, patent:
were issued to stolen lands valued
at more than 81, 600, 900.
Regarding his attempt TO arouse
the government and secure its aic
in preventing the frauds, Smith
says:

land office with failure to keel
faith with me and by a system o
procrastination and indifference
compelling me to resort to suci
indirect methods as the records o

by the decree of Judge Harmon refus-

that they were secured through undue
