COULDN'T KEER IT. Kept 1t Hid from the Children.

we cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide 1t, because the children love 1t so. It Is just the food I have been looking for ever SO long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing."
 Grape-Nuts Is the most scientifically made food on the market It is per fectly and completely cooked at the fac tory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish Is desired. When milk or water Is used. a little
 ugar 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 palate. This grape-sugar Is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the eranules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is chang ed from starch to grape-sUgar by the process of manufacture. This, in ef- feet. is the first act of digestion; there fore, Grape-Nut food Is pre-digested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. There's Reason"

EXEMPT FROM TAXES
BILL TO so FAVOR WATER POWER
 PLANTS.
senator Bankhead Will Remain in Montgomery to Urge Passage of the Measure Which Means
 Much to Alabama.

There is to be introduced into the Legislature a bill which will provide that all capital invested in the build ing of water power plants shall be ex- empt from taxation.
 For the purpose of preparing this bill and to urge its passage, Senator John H. Bankhead has decided. at the request of his friends. to forego his decision to leave Montgomery this morning, ard instead he may remain here several days.
 The purpose of the bill is to invite capital to come to Alabama for the purpose of using up the energy of its rivers and establishing chain ot power plants. Senator Bankhead is an ardent supporter of such propo- sition.
 To a reporter for The Advertiser last night he said:
 "The establishment of power plants along our rivers will mean more to the development of Alabama and it's industries than could anything else. With such plants in force We will have trolley systems along all of our high ways. It will mean that factories will be established everywhere, for the cost of power will be a great deal less than it could otherwise be obtained. It will mean that this power will not be subject to anything like a shortage In the coal supply by reason of strikes or any other difficulty at the mines. It will be a power that will be there for all time to come and power that will turn Alabama's wheels of industry in the State for all time.

Trustee Makes Nev Record by
 Doubling Estate in Three Years.

ciative of the manner in which Mir. Troy had taken care of his belongings that he drew a check for $5,00o pay able to Mir Troy.
 H. Clay Tompkins was recognized as one of the ablest lawyers Montgomery has produced. For eighteen years he was associated with MT. Troy as a law partner. Mir. Tompkins died suddenly in his office September 12, 1889.
 The Tompkins estate was worth ap- proximately $100,000. and MT. Troy was named as executor of the will and administrator of the estate.
 There were three beneficiaries. Mrs. Tompkins, wife of the deceased. and Mrs. Berto H. Johnson and Henry c. Tompkins, children of the attorney. The former two beneficiaries being of age. received their shares of the es- tate, but the youths part was held for him by MT. Troy until he should reach his majority. Later Mir. Troy was ap- pointed trustee for the minor and was thus enabled to so invest the fortune as to more than double its value.
 A final report on the trusteeship of Mir. Troy has been submitted to Judge Sayre by Register in Chancery W. H Parks, and 1t is likely that Judge Sayre will render a decree tomorrow con- firming the settlement.

Alexander Troy. who has had charge of the affairs of the late H. Clay Tompkins. one of Montgomery's most prominent lawyers. has wound up the last detail of the large estate by pay ing over to Henry c. Tompkins, a son of the deceased, $6S,29S.93. Henry c. Tompkins became of age on June 14. and MT Troy, as trustee for the young man, turned into his hands his part of the estate of his father.
 In handling and taking judicious care of the affairs of Henry c. Tomp- kins. MT. Troy, as trustee, has prob ably made a record unequalled in the equity court. Having started out on November 22. 1904, with funds of the young man amounting to $32,576.72. MT. Troy has, in three years time, more than doubled the value of Mir. Tomp- kins's share of the estate by careful and far-sighted investments. prompted by a high sense of duty which he con- ceived to devolve upon him as trustee for the son of his beloved law part ner, the late H. Clay Tompkins. The holdings of the young man have been so invested that they will bring him annually $3.340.s0.
 As trustees, Mir. Troy charged young Tompkins nothing for his services. but the young man was so keenly appre-

Before leav- iEg. however, he had told two negroes next door of what he had done and re- auestsd them not to allow any one to become alarmed if smoke should be seen emitting from the chamber. The negroes. though. grew busy and failed to inform.
 About 8:25 o'clock someone drew the attention of S. Leuchter to the fumes arising from the cafe. MT. Leuchter. who conducts an adjoining saloon. took for granted the old saying that where there is much smoke there must be some fire. and, before his excitement had worn off. he had turned in the general alarm.
 Captain Griffith and other firemen broke opon the cafe door. only to be- come fairly stifled by the sulphurfc gases within. Then they discovered the platter of burning powder and req lized what they were up against.

GIRLS RAN AWAY.

Two Montgomery Young Women
 Caught in Selma.
 Selma. July o.-(Speciall-At At the union railway station last night Police Oficer Philen took in charge two girls about 15 and 1s years old. who told him they had run away from their homes in Montgomery yes- terday morning. The officer took the girls to a hotel, where he secured room for them and where they stayed during the night. This morning they went to the Estelle Cotton Mills, where they secured employment and went to work.
 The young women gave. their names as Emma Gladden., aged f6. and Vicie Burdick, aged 15 years. To Omcer Philen they stated that they ran away from their homes in Montgomery early yesterday morning and had gone in a buggy to Lowndesboro, where, last night, they caught the Western of Ala bama train and came to this city. They had little money and as they left their homes bareheaded. they bought com mon black sailor hats at Lowndesboro, and after paying railroad fare reached Selma with 16 cents.
 It seems that both of the girls were employees in one of the cotton mills of Montgomery and, becoming dissatisfied with the amount of money which they were making. decided to go to some other city and see if they could not make more.
 Last night and this morning MT. Philen tried to communicate with the parents of the girls in Montgomery to see if they wanted the girls held by the police department. Not being able to get in communication he telephoned the police department in Montgomery. but no answer has yet been received.
 Emma Gladden. is a slender blonde, while the other girl Is a brunette.

 The first peaches of the season were seen on the streets this morning and were raised by Edgar Jones on his farm near the city. The specimens were fine, but his crop Is very short.
 A small tin box loaded with dynamite and percussion cap was picked up on the street here yesterday. It was at first thought to be only an empty snuff box. It is regarded as fortunate that it was not exploded by some horse or vehicle.

NO PITY FOR Ex-CITIZENs.
Our New Law is Doing Just What It Wa
 Expected to Do.

Our New Law is Doing Just What It Was
 Expected to Do.
 Washington Special to The New York Times.
 The special cablexram from Berlin in to- days New York Times to the effect that many naturalized German-Americans who rest of their lives dlsmayed about the new citizenship law creates no surprise here. It was fully expected that such persons would be dismayed.
 The law provides that when any natural tzed citizen shall have resided for two years sumsd that he has given up his citizenship. The Berlin dispatch says that this law has disturbed many persons, who. having come ever here and having been naturalized, have returned to Germany to spend the rest of their days.
 The law Is aimed at foreigners who come to America, get naturaIized, and then return to their own countries to spend the rest of their lives there. Such persons usually keep their American citizenship for the pur- pose of Haunting 1t in the faces of the au- thorities in their own countries. and if they get into trouble they usually demand a war ship in double-quick time. The Govern ment Is tired of them. and wants no more American citizens who acquire teir citizen ship only as personal asset without any intention of performing any of the duties which go with the privileges of citizenship. If this class is dlsmayed. 1t surprises nobody her and gives nobody any concern.
 If hardship is worked in individual cases there Is a remedy under the law. The law establishes only a presumption of non-citi- zenship, and a way is provided for overcom- that any person not belonging to the class at which the law aimed will suffer by it. If the others suffer. little regret will be felt.

Firen1en Effect Release Of
 Roaches From Sulphur Fumes.

Because Alderman c. E. Griffin tried to kill cock reaches by choking them to death with sulphurous fumes, the entire fire department of Montgomery was called to Commerce street at a:30 clock last night.
 ! Alderman Griffith, as a great many persons already know. contemplates re-opening the Peoples Cafe at 113 Commerce street. The familiar voices 'Haaf CT de if-r-r-y make ger two" ceased to be heard in the restaurant several days ago. for the Peoples cafe had failed. Alderman Griffith pur- chased the lease and effects and there- by hangs the tale of the calling out of the fire department
 In preparing to resume the short order shop. Alderman Griffith had in- stituted a general cleaning and much to his dismay he had found, among other things. a profusion of large cock reaches nested in the establishment.
 Mr. Griffith decided that he must rid the former Atheninan grill room of its live occupants and he. therefore made up his mind to enter upon a campaign of extermination. having heard much in the Council chamber of the methods practiced by the sanitary department.

Iron Trade Review.

Cleveland, O., July 10.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Our monthly blast furnace statistics show that the production for June was 2,237.42o tonsI against 2.2s1.o30 tons in May. July starts with twelve more stacks in blast than were in operation on the first day of June, and the out look is that the production will be well maintained. although furnaces are not expected to do as well during the ex- tremely hot weather as when weather conditions arc more favorable,
 Extreme quiet prevails in the Tig iron market, neither buyers nor sell CTS being active. In finished lines the volume of new business continues small. although some orders of good size have been taken for steel bars. The mills are gradually catching Np on deliveries, especially in plates and sheets The Carnegie Steel Company during the past sixty days has taken orders for about 100000. tons of steel rails, mostly for delivery this year.

case in the late conductors and motor meu's strike in this district. Elem ing, the Montgomery failure, was first of sight. Then came Commons, Ben Commons of the big Amalgamated, etc. from the Crescent City. and took royal command, and how glibly and gleefully the Birmingham press quot ed his every word and noted his moves. He held the scene to the ex- clusion of all other events for seY- eral days. People stood in awe of his presence. Not an expression of his waS wasted. He was the great T am ' The last time Commons was mentioned in the Birmingham press, was we be- lieve. on Thursday, the 9th of June. He was interviewed He said he would remain a couple of weeks with the organization, getting 1t into strong shape, securing reguler assessments and assistance from aff1iiated unions in the district and arranging for the defi, nita payment of the strike benefit of $5 weekly by the present organization. the grand Amalagamated, etc. That same day (Thursday) at meting or his union and dupes, he notified them that on the following day (Friday) he would pay them the two weeks strike benefit. ten dollars each. then due.
 When Commons made this statement. he had already secured passage for that night out of the city for Jack son. Miss. and that Is the last that
 
 this district. And 1t appears the Bir- mingham press made no nete of the departure of this great man. nor of his swindling of his dupes.
 In the present telegraphers strike in San Francisco and Oakland, one Small. President of the Photographers Nafional Union Is assuming paramount impor- tance. and trying to pose very conspi- cuously. He called the strike when the union had agreed to a settlement. 10 fQtlIlFa a hold his dupes that he would have the Presi- dent and his cabinet force the company to yield because the strike was incon- veniencing the public. They appar. went. But no one but strikers would believe anything of the kind. The next step taken was to try to get an inter- view with the companies management But the managements of the W. U. and the Postal would have nothing to do with Small. But the Associated Press keeps him up and their latest boast is that Small has still a knife up his sleeve and something will soon fall. because he has sent secret orders for strikes to be declared in some other of the big Pacific coast towns. where there are no grievances, to force the companies to terms and thus 1t goes business and the interests of the pub lie at the behoof of this man, Small by name and undoubtedly very small in discretion and good sense.
 This Is the iniouity of modern un- ionism, striking at any and all Inter- ests regardless of reason or good sense or of justce to force a yielding to their demands, however, utterly unreason- able or impossible they may be.
 Soon Small will drop from sight for the telegraph companies are running their business in ,-lmost normal shape and then some other peripatetic labor boss will loom up on the horizon. order a strike, the associated and daily press will take him up and exploit him as great man, and the strike will be failure and he will drop from sight to be followed by another.
