HEALTHY SCH0OLMA'AM
Found Out How to Feed Herself.

Many school teachers, at the end of
their years work. feel thoroughly ex-
hausted and worn out, physically and
mentally. The demand upon the
nerves and brain of a teacher is IN
usual and unless they are well fed and
fed upon properly selected food. it is
natural that they should run down.
A little woman teacher in Mich,
who has been teaching regularly for a
number of years. has always found
herself thoroughly exhausted at the
end of the session, until within the
last year, she has made use of Grape
Nuts food with the result that she
closed the year as a robust, healthy
strong, vigorous woman, having
gained in weight from 80 pounds to
1926; her nerves strong, face bright
and CHEEKY, and really a wonder to all
her friends. who constantly comment
on her color and strength. She knows
exactly to what the change is at
tributed, for in the wears past, living
on ordinary food, she has almost
broken down before the school year
closed, whereas since using Grape
Nuts, this change has been brought
about; evidence prina facie of the
value of Grape-Nuts food for rebuild
ing the brain and nerve centers.

Son of Stuyyesant Fish Is Fast Climb

Chicago. June 1.-Stuyvesant Fish,
jr, having risen to rate clerk and
learned all the details of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern freight
department in six weeks, has left for
Salina Kan, to be assistant to the
Rock Island station agent at $40 a
month
In his progress from the bottom of
the railroad ladder upward he has
mounted the first rung. So eager was
he to put his foot on the second. he
didn't wait to draw the $50 waiting
for him in room 626 of the Lake Shore
depot for his months services
Young Fish hasn't dazed his Chi
cago co-workers with his brilliancy.
He advanced rapidly, but some of the
fellows who were rate clerks when he
entered the Office and expect to be
rate clerks when he shall have risen
to a vice presidency. rather hint that
his advancement was made only by
persons higher up. They are inclined
to scof at the idea that he has learned
all there is to know in the freight de-

TWO CENTS THE MINIMUM.
Western Lines Thinking of Abolishing
All Special Rates.

NO rate less than cents per
mile" is the proposed motto for the
western railroads. 1t was strongly
Endorsed at a special meeting of pas
senger officials called for the consid-
Grafton of the reduced fare laws re-
Gently enacted.
The only reduced rates which the
railroads purpose to retain are those
for suburban business to the largest
cities. No more reduced rates will be
made for any kind of a convention or
other event, for colonists, tourists, or
any other class, if all the roads adopt
the views of a majority of the passen-
ger officials.
The time-honored half-rates for
clergymen and others engaged ex-
clusively in religious or charitable work
are also to be withdrawn as soon as
the railroads can do so legally. Thou
sands of annual permits" for half
rates have been issued to such per-
sons. and as the price asked by the
railroads for yearly permits has been
paid the roads do not believe they can
refuse half rates to holders of annual
permits for 1907.

PAN-ANIERICAN PLAN IN AIR.
Road Into Central America May No
Be Built.

Mexico City. June 1.-The St. Louis
syndicate which owns and is building
the Pan-American Railroad is now
considering the advisa bility of finish
ing construction at the Mexican boun-
dairy and not extending the system, as
was first proposed, through Central
America to Panama and from the
canal to South America. This halt in
the work points to delay in realizing
the project to unite all the Americas
by rail route.
Ellenious Smith of ST Louis, repre-
senting the stockholders of the COM
pany. has been in Mexico for some
time and is now on his way back to
ST. Louis. He is bearing to the mem
bers of the corporation the news that
the Mexican government has conclud-
ed to pay the last installment of the
subsidy which was assured for the
construction of the road through this
republic.
The government granted a subsidy
paid to the st. Louis syndicate, includ-
ing the last installment. is approx
mately $5,750,O00 in gold The length
Of the road in Mexico is 800 miles
Although the syndicate has not
finally determined to abandon the plan
of extending the line through Central
America. there seems to be proba-
bility that it will do so. Negotiations
Guatemala for subsidies: but, if the
construction is to be stopped at the
Observation-Disclosures boundary. the
requests for concessions will be with
drawn.
The intention was to build parallel
to the Pacific coast from the boundary
of Mexico. and Guatemala to the
Panama canal. and thence to South
America. Construction will, according
to indications, cease as soon as the
road is finished to the Guatemala
boundary.
The road is finished and in operation
from San Geronimo. near Salina Cruz,
on the Pacific coast. to a point sixty
miles north of the Guatemala boun-
dairy. At San Geronimo it connects
with the Tehuantepec railroad, which
crosses the isthmus from Salina Cruz
to Coatza coaleas. and with the Vera
Cruz & Pacific. which runs from Sa-
lima Cruz to this city and Cordoba At
this city connections are made with
railroads operating into the United
States.
The Mexican government has shown
great interest in this enterprise, as the
road brings this city, the capital, into
communication with the extreme
southeastern part of the republic.
The st. Louis syndicate is still con-
sidering the plan to build line
through the state of Yucatan- If con-
cessions and a subsidy will be granted
