MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Careful
Persons.

Persons.
Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought of
eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy oats
and wheat or white bread, pastry, etc,
produces serious bowel troubles, be-
cause the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, producing
gas, and microbes generate in the de-
cayed food, frequently bringing on peri
tonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown In the food Grape Nuts" where
the starch is changed into a form Of
sugar during the process of it's manu-
facture. In this way, the required food
Is presented to the system in pre-di-
sested form and IL Immediately made
into blood and tissue, without taxing
the digestive organs.
A remarkable result In norishment
Is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental? Be
cause the food contains delicate par
ticles of Phosphate of Potash obtained
from the grains, and this unftes with
the albumen OF all food and the eombi-
nation Is what nature uses to rebuild
worn out cells In the brain. This is
scientific fact that can be easily proven
by ten days use of Grape-Nuts.

yonkum.s Railroad Panacca.

To realize in practice a union of the
people and the railroads under the super
vision of the national government is the
essence of the proposal made in an ar
tce for the July Worlds Work by the
railroad magnate, E. +. Yoakum, chair
man of the Rock Island board of direc
tors. Taking up the different points of
popular agitation, Mr.. Yoakum finds,
first, that the Hepburn anti-rebate act is
effective just and wise, and he believes
that all good railroad managers will CO.
operate to enforce it. The valuation Of
railroad property. he thinks, would not
be disadvantagcOus to the railroads, but
that it would not have any practical value
in arriving al q fair basis of ratemakng.
AS a railroad man he would not oppose
it. and he does not see how the right Of
the government 10 make such a valuation
can be challenged. He approves of the
limitation of future security issues under
the eye of the federal government. He
explains that the law should make it i'm
possible to gain the profits of railroad
construction more than once, and that in
creasing capital for improvements should
be supervised. lie believes. fur her, in
the uniformity Of accounts 50 as to make
the annual reports of the railroads a
basis for public confidence, and he sees no
need of having any mystery about the
railroad business any more than there is
about the accounts of a national bank.
While he does not approve of legalizing
railroad pools. he thinks that traffic as
sociations should be allowed, because all
connecting lines may participate. In con-
clusion, he urges that the current of cx-
listing agitation must he turned into a
safer channel or great harm will be done
70 all interests.

An exhibition in hydraulic mining
was given at the City landing yester-
day afternoon which was accompanied
by results which We're hardly expected
but which furnished no small amount
Of amusement to the members of tho

the warmth of the springtime sun
caused the piles to wear away but
slowly. pickaXes and shovcls have from
time to time been brought into use.
This method did not produce the de-
sired results and yesterday afternoon
il was decided to try 4 stream Of wat
err from a nearby hydrant. The men in
charge of the work were the chief en-
sineer of the Augusta fire department
and the janitor of the clubhouse, both
Of whom are familiar with the work
ings of fire apparatus ana the plan
promised complete success. The two
men got the stream of water onto the
bile and soon had things working all
4 right as the water bored into the snow
ana ice in a way that promised TO
speedily drive the whole pile into the
river But right in the midst of the
operation something slipped and the
hose got away. putting a stop TO the
whole business. The stream Of water
caught the chief engineer where ms
| coat tails should have been. lifting him
| several feet into the air, and then the
hose got a swipe at the other man in
such a way as to rip one leg of his
pants in way that put them out OF

way of the stream as soon as they
could regain their feet and the chlel
ly making a flank movement was able
to reach the hydrant and shut the wat
er off. but they were in no condition q
