COULDN'T KEEP TT
Kept it Hid From the Children.

1--WE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food
in the house. 1t goes so fast I have
to hide it, because the children love
it go. 1t is just the food l have been
looking for ever so long; something
that do not have to stop to prepare
ard still is nourishing."
Grape-Nuts is the mos scientific
ally made food on the market 1t is
perfectly and completely cooked at
the factory and can be served at an
hstant's notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk if hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used, 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 sufficiently sweet to satisfy the pal
ate This grape-sugar is not poured
over the granules, 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 MANUFACTURER. This, in eff
feet, is the first act of digestion;
therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre-
digested and is most perfectly as
simulated by the very weakest stom-
ach. There's a Reason"

New York City - The Rev. DR..
Charles F. Aked, the high salaried
pastor brought from England by
John D. Rockefeller, preached his
last sermon for the summer at the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and
advised the members of his congre-
cation to get out of town, rest, for
get troubles, debts, newspapers, tele-
phones and business. City life. of to-
day, especially in such cities as New
York, is almost enough to drive men
crazy, said DR., Aked, and the only
medicine that will rest the body and
clear the brain is, to be found in the
quiet places of the country.
There has been no day in the his
tory of the world when such counsel
was more needed than to-day" he
said. There are no people on the
face of the whole earth who have
more cause to heed it and profit by it
than We Our cities are too vast and
too crowded.
Man, like the other animals, was
meant for the fresh air and the open
fields, for the storms, the SHOWS and
the sunshine. But he elaps a stone
box down over his head, sets it in the
midst of hundred thousand other
stone boxes as ugly as his own,
stretching away in bewildering
squares and parallelograms, shutting
out Gods air and light, until he is
ready to faint on warm day and
freeze on cold one, and die of pneu-
monia-or terror-if the east wind
blows upon him.
This crowded, rushing, pushing,
crushing city life gets on our nerves.
We live too fast. We live faster than
men ever lived before. We live more
than twenty-four hours in the day
and more than seven days in the
week. We burn the candle at both
ends, and then, for fear that our
neighbor will get ahead of us, we
light it. in the middle, too. We are
consumed by the fever of living. We
exhaust our vital energies in unend-
ing stress and strain.
1--WE have no time to think 1t is
as much as we can be expected to do
If we earn bread and cheese and lay
by a pound or two against a rainy
day. The great majority of us are
just as capable of flying as we are of
thinking. Leisure for quiet contem-
plation of the world which we live in
is denied US. There is no grass be-
meath our feet, no blue sky over our
head. The world of trees and flow
ers and singing birds is not for us.
Art and poetry and gentle culture ex-
list only in a world of dreams. While
if we once gave ourselves pause to
mediate upon the deep things of
God and the soul, on time and it's
meaning, life and it's mysteries, heav-
en- and the glories which we thrust
away, why-we might miss the next
car!
1.-THE injunction which insults me
every time / travel in the subway is:
Step lively, now! Hurry up, there!'
Hurry by all means, for we could not
live if we did not kill ourselves to
get somewhere else"
DR.. Aked repeated Lewis Morris
"Evensong," and said: There is one
consideration which we cannot es-
cape. What of the myriads of our
brethren pent up in mean streets,
prisoners of the counting house and
the shops, slaves of the mill and the
mine, OF the poor and heavy laden of
every nameless class, to whom these

Chicago resistance up to
the last moment by his lawyers, John
D. Rockefeller was compelled to bow
to the law, go on the stand before
United States District Judge Kene-
saw M. Lands, and answer questions
like any other witness Incidentally
he found he was on plane no higher
than any other citizen, for he came
into conflict with bailiff when at
one moment he tried to leave the
courtroom and was compelled to go
back to his seat and await the pleas
ure Of the court.
What Mr.. Rockefeller told did not
amount to much, so far as it related
to the effort of Judge Lands to de-
termine how large fine he should
assess in the rebate case against the
Oil Trust. He revealed ignorance of
the Standard Oil Company's affairs
Really his place as president of the
company was merely honorary. He
had not looked after details for
twelve years. He had not even been
to the Office in eight years He was
not certain whether it's capital was
$100,000,000 or not, and could only
guess that the dividends were some
where in the neighborhood of forty
per cent. of that amount.
Judge Lands, however, obtained
the information he had sought. He
calmly overruled the multitudious
objections of the Standard Oil law
yers and pressed questions upon
other witnesses. The most impor-
tant of these was Charles M. Pratt,
secretary of the company. He had
to admit that the parent New Jersey
corporation controlled the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, which had
been convicted of so many instances
fine of $29, 100000. Under the skill
to admit more.
He bore testimony that Mr.. Rookie
Teller did not know about details, for
the capitalization of the New Jersey
company was a matter of almost
100000 under the 100000, 900
mark set by its president But this
figure did not represent the full value
of its properties, he admitted, for
they were worth vastly more This
assertion was well borne out when
Judge Lands led him to tell of earn
ings. The yearly dividends of the
trust had averaged about forty per
cent. of its outstanding capital, but
here was what its net earnings were
in the three years covered by the
case at bar: He

TRoLLEYs KILLS 2, HURTS 10
Car Goes Over an Embanlrment When
Filled With Passengers.

Clarksburg, W. Va.-Heavily la
den with passengers, who were en-
joying an outing, an open trolley car
on the Fairmont and Clarksburg
Traction Company's system, jumped
the track on the Grassen division just
outside the city limits and crashed
over an embankment, instantly kill
ing two, fatally injuring one and Sc
riously injuring nine others.
How the car left the track is a
mystery the traction company officials
cannot explain. 1t was running up
hill, around curve, at moderate
speed. After bounding along the ties
for short distance the car went over
the embankment and landed on it's
side, pinning the dead and injured
underneath. Motorman James and
Conductor Fitzpatrick escaped with
slight injuries. Most of the injured
were taken to the city hospitals and
some to their homes. Several pas
sengers besides those whose names
are given were slightly hurt.
The dead: Miss Grace Markerl,
