WEIGH ALL MAILS.

During the present month the Rail-
way Mail Service Department is to
weigh all mails on all routes, Congress
having made a special appropriation
of 100000 for this purpose, with
view to securing a more accurate bas-
is of compensation than by the weigh
ing at different times in different parts
of the country, as has been the Gus
tom. 1t is also said that the Postmas-
ter-General, supported by the Presi-
dent and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, has de-
cided to count Sundays in the number
of days used as a divisor in ascertain
ing the average weight per day; that
is to say, the total quantity carried
on a given route during a week Of sew
en- days is to be divided by seven TO
get the daily average, instead OF be-
ing divided by six, as heretofore.

MONEY FOR REID HOSPITAL

Since the completion of the hospit |
ciety has given g market annually to
help provide funds for the institution.
The work and worry entailed in Civ
ing such a market is hardly common
surate with the returns in cash and a
better way to raise money for the in
stitution has been suggested that, on
it's face, looks as though it would be
successful
In ST. Louis a certain day is set
aside as Hospital Day and the ladies
connected with the aid society of the
st Louis hospital have stands in var
contributions. Each contributor is
provided with little tag bearing the
words Hospital Day to show that he
or she has contributed to the good
work. Under no circumstances do the
ladies connected with the work solicit
contributions on Hospital Day. They
simply remain by their stands over
which is a sign plainly stating their
purpose and receive and look after the
contributions Of the charitably in
clined. These stands are not only To-
Gated in the prominent buildings of
the city but are also placed in con-
venient places near the large factor
les so that every citizen of the city has
a chance to help the hospital. This
plan has proved very successful in st.
Louis, over $4,000 having been raised
last Hospital Day.
This plan which has been so sue
cessful in st. Louis could be made
equally so in Richmond, in proportion
to the difference in population. The
markets the Ladies' Aid society have
held in the past have never yielded
more than fifty to seventy-five dollars
each year. By trying the st. Louis
plan it would not be surprising if ten
times that amount could be raised

ADDRESS MUCH COMMENTED ON.

The address of William Hodgdon,
freight traffic manager Of the Penn
sylvania lines west, delivered at To-
ledo before the Railroad Association
of that city, is being favorably COM
mented upon by the press Of Toledo.
His thirty years of experience and
most of the time with the great rail
road corporation and. his close atten-
ton to that line of service made him
capable OF delivering an address based
on actual results.
At the outset he declared that new
conditions imposed by federal regula-
lions were pleasing to him. In the old
DAYS the rebate and the secret cut rate
were a bitter necessity to the honest
railroad men and the record for hon
asty among the men who make the
rates at the present time is one TO be
proud of. Much has been said on the
subject of excessive rates Of transpor-
| tation. However, at this point Of at
| tack he believed the kicks were grow
| ing feebler. Whether the question be
one of comparison of the rates in 9TH
or countries or Of returns on the val
he of the property, or the relation OF
the cost of transportation to the cost
of necessary articles for daily use, the

such as white bread, potatoes, rice,
partly cooked cereals and such.
Starchy food is not Gigested in the |
upper stomach but passes on into the |
doudenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in a healthy individ-
ual, the transformation of the starch
into form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers of digestion are
weakened, part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture
of the body and decay, generating
gases and irritating the mucous sur
faces until under such conditions the
whole lower part OF the alimentary
canal including the colon and the APP
pendix, becomes involved. Disease
sets up and at times takes the form
known as appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food
in which the starch has been trans
formed into a form of sugar in the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form of
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made up very
largely of starch and is required by
the body for energy and warmth.
Naturally, therefore, its use should be
continued. if possible and for the rea-
sons given above it is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change OF
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested wash
ing out the intestines to get rid OF the
immediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where
the disease has lain dormant and the
abuse continued too long. until appar
emily only the knife will avail. But
it is a well-established fact among the
best physicians who are acquainted
with the details above recited, thai

BUSINESS is HEAVY.

In all lines of freight, say the oldest
of freight officials, there are more Of
ferings for business of every class
than was ever before known. Usually
at this season of the year there has
been large demand for cars to move
grain and produce and hog products.
This year in the lines named and in
fact in every other line of traffic, the
demand for cars is in excess of the
supply, which compels the general
freight agents to look more seriously
after cars than at any time in their
years of railroading. The markets are
very active and shippers are pressing
them for cars. The train records show
that evey line of freight is in excess
of that of any former year.

whether Golfers, by its own policy
and methods, has not made itself
more ridiculous than any comment of
ours could make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inflicted loss of prestage by de-
monstrating thru suits for damages,
that it can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of it's defama-
ton, or does it hope by starting
compaign of libel suits to silence the
popular Indignation, reproach and re-
sentiment which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judge
ment against it. That great jury, the
Public, will hardly blame us for not
waiting until we get a petit jury in a
court room, before donouncing this
prOdigal detractOr OF institutions
founded and fostered either by indi-
viduals or by the pubic, itself.
No announcements during our en-
tire business career were ever made
claiming medical effects" for either
Postum or GrapeNuts. Medicinal eff
fects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten per
cent of New Orleans molasses. The
art of preparing these simple ele
ments in a scientific manner to obtain
the best food value and favour, re
quired some work and experience tc
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes fa1
enough out of its way to attack u
because our advertising is medical,
it simply offers a remarkable eXhibi
