MORE RECORDS BROKEN
IN BALLOON CONTESTS

st. Louis, Dot. "25.-Proclaimed as
the most remarkable balloon contest
in the history of the worlds aeronaut-
les, with every racing record broken,
the second International cup competi-
ton ended with the German accorded
winning laurels. The finish of the
racei was the closest and most exciting
veer known.
The victorious German balloon is
the Pommern, which landed at Asbury
Park, N. j., LAYING by slightly more
than five miles the advantage Of the
French contestant, Isle de France,
second in the race, which descended
at Herbertsville, N. j., few miles
from the Atlantic coast and slightly
northwest of Point Pleasant. Another
German ballon, the Dusseldrvf, stands
third in the race. American entries
are fourth and fifth, a third German
is sixth, French team is seventh, an
America eighth and the English ninth.
The unofficial estimated distance Of
the Pommern is $50 miles and that OF
the Isle de France is 875. The Dus-
seldorf, which landed near Dover,
Del, is estimated to have covered 100
miles. The Pommern could have re-
manned in the air many hours longer
and undoubtedly would have added
several hundred miles to her record
but for the expanse Of water ahead.
While losing the record and posses
sion the cup the French team which
sailed the Isle de France gained the
honor of record for duration, their
time lin the air being just "A hours.
The previous record was Al hours and
5 minutes.
The result of the race, the first of
its character ever held in this coun-
try, has qualified the United States,
in the opinion of all ballooning ex-
perts gathered here as the most favor
able aeronautic ground in the world.

Effort Will Be Made to Obtain
Both Timber and Coal Lands
Fraudulently Acquired-Borah
Acquittal Will Not Deter Pros.
ecution Of Other Cases.

q
ment is about to go after the Western
land grafters with greater vigor than
in any previous attack. Instructions
have teen given to M. O. Burch, spe-
cial assistant United States district at
torney to proceed as soon as possible
both civilly and criminally, in the
and fraud cases in the mountain
states, and on the most comprehensive
scale.
In the suits instituted, in addition
to putting the grafters behind the bars
whenever the facts warrant, the gov
eminent will seek to regain title to
millions of acres of valuable timber
and coal lands which it is alleged
have gone into the hands of private
owners through private entries. Pres
ident Roosevelt has specifically direct
ed that the attorney general invoke
the criminal penalty wherever it can
be imposed.
Many Secret Service Men Out
operating with Special Assistant
District Attorney Burch, we'll known
Michigan lawyer, who has been given
charge Of the land prosecutions, Is the
largest staff of secret service men in
the country, under the direction Of L.
G. Wheeler. This force, which is con-
stantly being increased, now numbers
100 men. These men are carried on
the government rolls as special agents
Of the department Of Justice.
The states in which the greatest
frauds will probably be unearthed are
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah.
The acquittal Of Senator Borah Of
Idaho will not deter the government
from prosecuting other indictments in
that state which were returned at the
same time that Senator Borah was in
dicted. The Barber Lumber Com
pany, which is part Of the Weyer-
haeuser syndicate, is one OF the con-
Germs aimed at. Through civil suits
an attempt will be made to force an
of the thousands of
acres Of timber lands which it is
claimed this company has obtained
through fraudulent entries.
Same System in All Rates
The story of the timber frauds is
pretty much the same in all the
states, and the frauds in
coal lands are even more extensive
than in timber. In Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho the Hartman
lines. the Hill lines and the Gould
lines have contrived to secure control
Of the coal lands. What is known as
the dummy entry" system has been
utilized in nearly all cases where di-
rect proof has been obtained. This
was the system first disclosed by the
California prosecutions where straw
men we're utilized to make entries, or
hoboes employed for few dol ars to
take the necessary oaths at the land
Office.

THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups

Food that can be eaten with relish
as the older members Of the family,
makes a pleasant household commod-

Such food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from bad
habits of eating, have become dyspep-
tic.
A Phila. lady after being benefited
herself persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
About eight years ago had Sc
we're attack of congestion Of stomach
and bowels. From that time on,
had to be careful about eating, as
nearly every kind Of food then known
to me, seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago l commenced to
use Grape-Nuts. | grew stronger and
better, and from that time / seldom
have been without it; have gained in
health and strength and am now heav-
Ter than l ever was.
my husband was also in bad con-
dition-his stomach became so weak
that he could eat hardly anything with
comfort l got him to try Grape
nuts, and he soon found his stomach
trouble had disappeared.

Warned by Fish.

Many anglers have great faith in
fish as weather prophets. If storm
is approaching, they say, the fish. stop
biting, and they won't bite again until
the storm is past. They also foretell
the near approach of cold weather.
Hours before it comes fish leave the
shallow waters in-shore and seek deep
err water, which, owing to its depth,
will stay warm and keep an equable
temperature after the shallower and
surface waters are cold.
