LESLIE M. SHAW TALKS ON Fl.
NANcIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
CONDITIONS.
Sources of the Peoples Wealth Safe
Former Secretary of Treasury,
However, Intimates That a Period
of Depression Is at Hand.

New York, Aug. 19.-Leslie M.
Shaw, former secretary of the treas
ury, authorized the following inter-
view on the present financial and in
dustrial conditions Sunday:
Our farms produce more than &c.
500,000,000 per annum, and the pros
pect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than $1,000, 900
and our forests more than $1,000,000,-
900, and neither of these sources of
wealth has been exhausted. The out
put of our factories, in other than food
products, is $4,000, 100000, and no
fires have been exsinguished. The
railways earn more than $4,000, 000,0 900
and they are all in successful opera
ton. The pay rolls Of our factories
and railways aggregate approximately
$3,500,000,000 and the scale of wages
has not been reduced.
In other words, the real sources of
the peoples wealth have not yet been
affected, and the ability of industrial
concerns to pay dividends is not meas
ured by the market price of their
stocks. Logical reasons for serious
conditions are therefore wanting. Psy-
Geological reasons are never wanting.
The Expected Will Happen.
IF judge correctly, the people will
have exactly what they expect. If
those who have money in the banks
withdraw it and lock it up; if the
banks refuse to grant accommoda-
tons, and if the consuming public de-
cline to place orders, then We will
very soon witness the effects. Let
these who think thai times of disas-
ter follow each other at regular inter-
walls bear in mind that this country
never yet experienced a period of Sc
we're depression that was not traceable
to financial or economic agitation or
legislation, and usually to both.
In 1893 the redemption of green
backs in silver instead of gold was
openly advocated; the party in power
was under promise to remove the pro-
tective tariff from industries, and the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of
16 to 1 was championed by prominent
members of both parties. The country
might have survived any one of these
sources of alarm, but it could not sur
vive all three.
Going Too Fast a Gait.
"At this time no one questions our
financial system and the tariff will not
be touched for at least Is months.
Some check in the speed at which
We are going is most desirable, and
the checking process has probably be-
gun. 1t will require a fair measure of
confidence and courage to prevent un-
due retardment in our industries.
Capital cannot be forced into activity,
but 1t can be forced out of activity. l
have never seen the time when uni
versal sanity was more essential to
our well being"

Science Of Ticklishness.
saiNN.

When one has found a suitable lit.
tie playmate, preferably child be-
tween three and eight years of age,
and commences to tickle it, what hap
pens? In the first place, replied DR..
kouis Robinson, famed for his re-
searches into zoology, it becomes
quite evident that unless the child is
in a playful and responsive mood it
cannot be tickled. If it be unwell, or
if a stranger or one whom the child
fears or dislikes attempts to tickle 1t,
there is no response except resent
ment at an unwelcome interference.
But as soon as a satisfactory under
standing is established, the little one
laughs and wriggles with delight. Al
though each movement is an elaborate
avoidance of contact, there is con-
tinual invitation to repeat the tickling.
Practically all children, in fact, both
by word of mouth and act, show plenty
of evidence of enjoyment of the game,
and invite it's continuance indefinitely.
Hence, one may say that there exists
a distinct appetite for tickling. This,
upon close investigation, proves to be
as marked and real as any of the rec
ognized animal appetites (all of
which, by the way, have an immediate
bearing on the continuance Of the in
diyidual or of the race) This appe-
tite for tickling has this in common
with the other appetites, declares Cur
rent literature, that there are times
when desire is absent and provoca-
tion fails to take effect. Like the re-
fiexes associated with the gustatory
nerve, which makes part of the appe-
tite for food the activity of which de-
ponds upon whether we are hungry or
the reverse, the reflexes that accom-
pany ticklishness are intermittent.

FOOD
FACTS
.Grape-Nuts
F O O ID
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
Of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form OF
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape;Nuts.
A Mo. man says: 81 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. l can
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food Is that it's use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance Of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

A HEAVY HAUL
THREE SACKS OF REGISTERED
MAIL DISAPPEAR WHILE
MAIL CLERKS SLEEP.
The Amount Taken is Unknown but
Supposed to be Large. Robbers
Slip into Car Where Stations are
far Apart.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 21-Three mail
sacks containing about quarter OF a
million dollars disappeared from a
Burlington train Sunday night between
Denver and Oxford, Neb. The post
Office officials have just made the theft
public. The train left Denver with
seven sacks and but four remained
when it reached Oxford Detectives
and postoffice officials are at work on
the case.
Supt. j. M. Butler of the sixth divi-
sion of railway mail clerks believes
the robbery took place just west of
the Nebraska line. Both mail clerks
were asleep while the train was pass
ing over long stretches of track with
few stations.
Work of Sneak.
Butler believes some one slipped
into the mail car and threw three
sacks out of the window. He has
ascertained that the valuables were all
in two of the sacks, one being empty.
Seven sacks of registered mail were
placed on the Kansas City train, leav-
ing Denver over the Burlington Sun
day night. These sacks were des-
tined for Chicago, and were supposed
to be placed on the Chicago train at
Oxford, Neb. Two of the registered
sacks were missing when Oxford was
reached.
Postoffice officials have all been
warned to be cautious about giving out
information on the robbery.
Robbery Is Admitted.
According to reports made tonight
to railway postal officials in Lincoln,
the amount of money stolen from the
postal car on the Burlington last
Thursday night was not $250,000, as at
first rumored, or anything like that
sum, but the authorities refuse to say
just what the amount is.
That some money is missing, and
that it disappeared near Oxford, Neb.
is not denied. The packages were
sent from Denver for Chicago, and
their disappearance was first noticed
when the checking up of registered
matter began just after the train left
oxford. 1t is denied tonight that
there was any transfer of mails from
one car to another at oxford.
Denver Officials Hopeful.
Denver, Aug. 21.-The Burlington
officials in this city say they have no
knowledge of the disappearance of the
registered mail sacks on that road be
tween Denver and Oxford, Neb. They
said all the information they would
have would come thru the postoffice
department.
The Denver postoffice officials say
they believe mail bags containing
money were missing and that they
will be found later. So far no trace
of them has been found and the rob
berry theory gains credence.

1t is feared by the strikers that the
eastern men are lukewarm as to the
strike and that Mr.. Stone will en-.
deavor to bring them over to return
ing to work with the others still out.
Latest Developments.
The latest important developments
in the strike are:
Twelve operators at Havana struck,
the first of the 100 operators stationed
at San Francisco, Bansfield, B. c.; Gal
weston, Key West, New York city,
Halifax, Canso, Nova Scotia; Hearts
Content, Nova Scotia; Tampa and St.
Johns, Newfoundland.
At Morris & Co.'s Chicago plant six
men walked out when the company
refused to sign the scale for mini
mum wage of $50 a week. Swift &
Co. and Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
have union contracts.
Women telegraphers sent a memo
rial to Miss Helen Gould, setting
forth their grievances.
Slow to Respond to Order.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-President S. j.
Smalls order for a general strike Of
commercial telegraphers, issued early
Friday morning, did not seem to meet
with the response the union officials
had expected. In Chicago the addi-
lions to the strikers forces were few,
and in New York the order had little
apparent effect on the situation.
Friday afternoon the operators en-
ployed by the Chicago brokerage
firm of Hulburd, Warren & Chandler
struck, and word was received that the
wire men of three of the biggest brok-
erage houses in ST. Louis had walked
out.
Why Brokers Men Are Slow.
The delay of the Chicago operators
in brokers' Offices was explained by
the men themselves, several of whom
were interviewed while at their work,
by saying that the brokers who had
not already signed the union agree
ment were expected TO before night.
Word came from New York that all of
the principal brokers there had
signed up" In Chicago the firm of
Finley, Barrel & Co. was added to the
list of those that have signed the new
agreement demanded by the operators.
The operators of that firm are said
to have threatened to strike when they
first reported for work Friday, but
the trouble was averted.
At the Offices of the Standard Oil
company it was said the leased wire
men were all working as usual. The
manager in charge of the telegraph
department declined to say whether
there was a union contract.
There was not much surprise among
the strikers that the order had little
effect at the stockyards, for the union
leaders admit that the men in the
plants, except those that struck at the
plants of Armour G Co., are not well
organized
