CHURCH AND STATE
 IN UNHAPPY FRANCE
Briand's Liberal Policy Seems to Be
 growing in Public Favor.

Paris, Feb. 2-The view of Minister of Education Briand that the govern ment must continue along liberal lines ia the execution of the separation laws seems to have prevailed over the stiff necked view held by Premier Clemen- ceau. IL has been practically decided to instruct the perfects that the con- tracts for leasing the churches offered by the parish priests are acceptable. with the notifications provided they do not vitiate the rights of the state to ''dissafect" the churches. In other words the government wants to test the sincerity of the desire expressed by Rome to find a basis of settlement.
 Certainly a majority of the French clergy and people wish a peaceful ad- justment but whether the bishops. act ing under instructions from the Vati- can will recede from the position "of all or nothing" remains in question. In some quarters il s reported that the pope, in anticipation of the refusal or the proposals of the bishops. already has prepared an address to the Cath olics of France in which he places the responsibility for the final rupture up on the government. The situation is complicated by the contention of many competent authorities that the govern ment has no right to interfere win the various mayors and that churches in a commune are the property of that commune and entirely beyond the jur- isdiction of the federal authorities.

COULDN'T KEEP 1T.
Kept 1t Hid from the Children.

1--WE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in
the house. 1t goes so fast l have to
hide it, because the children love it so.
1t is just the food I have been looking
for ever so long; something that l dc
not have to stop to prepare and still is
nourishing."
Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t is per.
fectly and completely cooked. at the
factory and can be served at an in
stants notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk If a hot dish
Is desired. When milk or water is
used. a little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar. which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This g~rape-sugar Is not poured over
the granules,l as some people think,
but exudes from the granules in the
process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
Of manufacture. This, in effect, is the
first act of digestion; therefore, Grape
Nuts food is pre-digested and is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. There's a Rea,

OPERATORS SPLIT.
SMALL AND COMMITTEE HAVE
OPPOSING PLANS.
NATIONAL STRIKE IS FEARED
Is Doing All Possible to Prevent
Ii From Spreading.

New York, N. Y.-The National
Executive Committee of the CONNER
cial Photographers Union Of America
are doing all possible to avert a ma
tional strike Of t%elegraphers and pre-
vent the strike from spreading out
side of San Francisco.
President Clowry of the Western
Union, in order to make his position
clear, sent the following statement to
the general superintendent Of the
company:
There Is no truth in the rumors be-
ing circulated throughout the country
that the Western Union Telegraph Co.
has receded from the position in my
letter of June 20 to the Hon. Charles
P. Neill, commissioner of labor. I had
another meeting with Commissioner
Neill last Monday afternoon, and as
sured him that Notwithstanding the
unwarranted action in calling a strike
in San Francisco the company would
carry out the conditions set forth in
that statement in good faith"
Situation Is Very Critical.
This statement was made by a lead
ing member of the t~elegraphers' I'M
ion:
THE situation is very critical. One
faction of the union wants a strike in
Chicago. to be followed by a national
strike, while another faction wants to
confine the trouble to San Francisco.
President Small believes in the extern
sion of the strike, while the national
executive committee is opposed. M. ].
Riedy of Boston and ]. M. Sullivan
have left New York for Chicago to
prevent, if possible, a strike from TAX
ing place there.
Commissioner Neill has urged the
members of the executive committee
to accept the terms of President
Clowry and settle the differences by
arbitration, leaving San Francisco to
fight out its own battle.
THE men do not want a national
strike"

THE BEST HE COULD GET.
Amateur Gardener Could Not Under.
stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.

The woes of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his ef-
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married,
early in the spring secured a SUBJ
urban place, mainly with the idea of
fresh, homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
own remained as bare as the Sahara.
"It certainly has got me beat" he
confided to a friend at his Office one
day. Il can't understand why not a
blessed thing has come up. l planted
peas and corn and tomatoes"
Perhaps the seed were reflective"
the friend suggested.
81 hardly think it was that" the
gardener replied, 'for 1 got the very
best-paid 15 cents a a for them"

Respondents Directed to Plead to In.
formations by September I.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The Supreme
Court denied the demurrer of
the Gould lines in Missouri to the
custer suit instituted by Attorney Gen.
eral Hadley and directed the respond
ents to plead to the information by

on the merits of the case, the opinion
expressly stating that it merely de-
fines the right of the attorney general
to institute such proceedings and COM
pei the respondents to answer them
directly. The suit is to annul the
the charter o" the Missouri Pacific and
other Missouri lines of the Goulds and
to take from the Wabash it's right to
do business in the state, on the ground
that it is a parallel and competing line
with the Missouri Pacific and owned
by the same people. Returns will be
made and the case set down for hear
ing at the October term of the SUI
preme court.

INJUNCTION WILL STAY.
Chicago Judge Will Act on Public
Warehouse Case.

Chicago, Ill.-Judge Horace de-
clared that he intended to dismiss
the bills Of complaint by the Chicago
board of trade against certain ware
house keepers and railroad compa-
MES, but would allow the injunctions
issued on the bills to remain in force

the power of a railroad company to
act as a public warehouse man.

The TOWN
POSTOFFlcE DEPARTMENT HAS
PECULIAR CASE.
OFFICE ON ROCKEFELLER ESTATE
War Veteran Not Allowed on the
Land and Can Not Get His Mail
Delivered There.

Washington, D. Can investiga-
ton has been ordered by Postmaster
General Meyer with a view to deter
mining whether the p~ostoffice discon-
tinued at the town of Brandon, N. Y,
shall be re-established there. The
inquiry involves a unique state of af-
fairs.
According to the papers on
file in the postofice department, it
appears that several years ago Will
liam Rockefeller, who owns a large
estate comprising more than $4,000
acres in the vicinity of Tarrytown,
conceived the idea of acquiring the
site of the town of Brandon to fill
out his estate. Brandon was a -four
ishing place, with a postoffice and two
or three small stores and a small num-
Der Of inhabitants. Mr.. Rockefeller
purchased all of the property from
it's owners except n small tract that
was owned by a civil war veteran
named Lamora. Lamora refused to
sell and persisted in fishing in a
stream wrich ran through Mr.. Rookie
feller's estate and in using the roads
which had been open to the public,
1t Is said, for a generation.
Brandon p~ostoffice was abolished and
another was opened at Bay Pond,
three miles within the confines Of Mr..
Rockefeller's estate. There the people
who formerly received their mail at
Brandon were expected to get it. La
mora was arrested for trespass on
Mr.. Rockefeller's estate and he and
his friends fought the case in the
courts, but eventually were defeated.
A court order was made preventing
Lamora in person or by an agent from
going onto the estate Of Mr.. Rookie
Teller and it is stated that therefore
he was unable to obtain mail for him
directed to the Bay Pond office.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of Postmaster General Meyer
through letters received from various
parts of the country and he has de-
termined not only to ascertain the
facts regarding it, but, If possible, to
re-establish the postoffice at Brandon
or at some nearby point outside of the
estate of Mr.. Rockefeller, which will
be convenient for the people of that
vicinity.

Galleries Under the Sea.

At Cape Breton there are immense
colleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
q thousand acres, and are being In
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight of the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed OF the ocean Is as tight as
a cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there Is not a crevice
nor a drop Of water from overhead.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and Di.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley Of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board Of
trustees, OF the occasion of his cleo
ton to the p~resideRcy, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. II understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch Of
TIE company's working organization,
gives me, al 1 believe, a profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my Shout
'ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high Office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. my thanks, therefore"
he continues, "for an.honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out Of
the record l make day by day"
