TO IDENTIFY THE DEAD.
(From Technical WORLDLY

An army general order has recently
been issued, stating that in the future
all officers and enlisted men will wear
whenever in field uniform, an identii-
cation tag, which will be issued by
the Quartermaster's department, at
cost price 10 officers, and without
charge to men.
This tag is of aluminium, about the
size of half dollar, and will be worn
suspended from the neck beneath the
clothing. On the tag will appear the
name rank, company, regiment or
corps Of the wearer, and It is ordered
that when not worn as directed, II
shall be regarded as part Of the uni
form, and be habitually kept in the
possession of the owner.
While this Identification tag would
of course be more especially valuable
In time Of war, II is thought that 1t
will also serve good purposes in times
of peace in the event OF accidents, etc.

A Minn. man cut down on HIS food

writes:
For rs years suffered from
chronic rheumatism and many other
serious ills, including indigestion,
headaches and sluggishness OF mind
and body, which were very trying.
Il was advised by a doctor, who is
an ardent advocate OF Grape Nuts,
that my trouble lay In too much food,
too much meat-eaten too fast
without proper mastication. He ad-
vised me to try Grape-Nuts.
"An experiment OF only a few days
convinced me that he was right.
Il made the change, and have
found Grape-Nuts not only valuable
as a food, but extremely helpful to
perfect digestion by thorough chew
ing.
Two eggs and handful OF Grape
Nuts with little cream. thoroughly
chewed, for breakfast now take the
place of four eggs, some bacon or
ham and a lot of pancakes or fried

The Choo-Choo Wagon
is Going to Put You
in the Clear.
AUTO TRUST WILL DO 1T

New York, April 27.--Farewell to
the New York cab horse. His day of
disappearance from Fifth avenue and
the Great White Way is not far off II
the plans OF the new automobile cab
companies, which have been incorpo-
rated with view to the vast i'm
provement Of the service do not go
astray, and there is nothing TO indi
cate that they will.
There are three OF these companies,
IN one OF which William X. Wander
bilt is interested, and II is expected
that the latter concern will be able to
start business In June with fifty auto
cabs. All the vehicles will be equipp-
cd with taximeters, which will tell
the passenger at a glance just how far
he has ridden, how long he has been
in the cab, and exactly what he owes.
according to the time or mileage rate
he may select before starting.
There seems TO be no question that
the rivalry OF these companies will
start rate war after the business
gets well under way, and II is the pro-
spective low prices which will result
that will cause the cab horse gradu-
ally to sink In the background and
finally disappear as regular insti-
tuition. For years there has been an
enormous number of complaints
about the extortion OF the cab drivers,
and under the present system II is
next to impossible to get any redress
unless you happen TO have pull with
the license bureau.
II you don't pay the fare demanded
by the cabman you are driven to the
nearest police station. where you have
your choice OF settling or being locked
up.
II you desire to push the matter
further Il is necessary TO visit the IL
cense bureau In the city hall. and
make a complaint against the cab
man. or course the largest part Of
the business is done by the regular
companies. who have the exclusive
privilege 10 all the choicest cab
stands, but there are many indivi-
duals who own their own cabs, and
who are called "nighthawks," who
will take a chance on overcharging
passengers. and In ninety-nine cases
out Of a hundred they get away with
the goods.
But the nighthawks are not the
only ones 10 blame, for the complaint
10 general that the cab hire is entirely
too high In New York, and that II the
rates are not lowered, there will be an
immense increase in the business and

companies, but that the rate that his
company would charge was nifty
cents a mile. which is the price fixed
by law. when this was told to G.. w.
Kelsey, the organizer OF the second
company. he said that their rate
would be forty cents mile for two
persons, or ten cents less than the
maximum charge. For three or four
persons a naddltional half fare will be
charged, making the rate sixty cents
an hour for four persons, whereas the
legal rate for four would be SO. When
asked II this would mean a rate war,
Mr.. Kelsey said that the companies
would be rivals In business, but he
thought they would finally get to-
gether in the price. There are about
200 cabs drawn by horses, and
about 600 public electric vehicles. Ac-
to the estimates furnished by
the promoters of the new electric cab
scheme, the autos will out number the
horse drawn cabs in two years. Mr..
Kelsey predicted that the last OF the
cab horses would be driven from the
streets within Ave years.
