DOCTORS FOOD TALK.
Selection of Food One Of the Most
Important Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con.
troll that the proper selection of food
should be and is one of the most i'm.
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, l may say that |
know of no food equal in digestibility
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is
sufficient for the cereal part of a
meal, and experience demonstrates
that the user Is perfectly nourished
from n meal to another.
IT am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods OF
this character would increase the
term of human life, add to the sum
total of happiness and very consider
ably improve sosiety in general. |
am free to mention the food, for I
personally know of its value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms or adults. 1t is ready
cooked, can be seryedinstantly either
cold with cream, or with hot water or
hot milk poured over. All sorts of
buildings and fancy dishes can be
made with Grape-Nuts. The food is
concentrated and very economical. for
four heaping teaspoons are sufficient
for the cereal part of a meal. Read

VILE" in pkgs. There's a Reason"

Concrete Telegraph Poles.

Concrete has been used to make
fence posts for several years, and is
now being employed experimentally
In the production Of telegraph poles.
After a few years service these may
develop faults which have not been
foreseen, but a tendency to rot will
certainly not be M of them. The
trial Is being made on the Pennsyl-
vania Railway near Naples, Ind, on
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne C Chi
cago division. A mile of track Is
equipped with the new poles. which
are from twenty-five to thirty-four
feet in length. They r eight inches
square at the bottom and six inches
square at the top, but the edges are
chamfered, so that the poles seem to
be octagonal in section. Half-inch
wires, running lengthwise, reinforce
the concrete. The poles were set last
autumn, and seem to have stood the
winter we'll. They rest in a founda-
ton Of pounded stone, and reach
down four feet from the surface. 1t
Is reported that several trolley COM
panies in the West have considered
the propriety Of using similar poles
to carry their wires.

Side Lines For Farmers.

A Chester, Mass, letter says that
the w%itchhazel industry has been
active. Farmers Of that section sup
ply a local mill with hundreds of
tons of the brush, which grows fast
and returns 50 to SO a ton. Last
years crop produced $50 barrels Of
extract. Another use for former
waste is in distilling from black
birch brush a substitute for oil Of
wintergreen. For this the mills pays
$3.50 a ton, and last season used
1858 tons Of brush, obtaining nearly
5000 lb. of oil, which sells to drug
gists and confectioners for 81 a
pound. Aside from being a substi-
tute for wintergreen, it is used in
rheumatic medicines, birch beer, and
rs a favoring for mineral water. The
mill has material usually to keep it
running till June. Another oil which
is being developed Is distilled from
the ferns which grow in abundance
on the hills. The properties are SIM
liar to those of witchhazel, with a
pleasanter odor. 1t is called Fernia.

MO0NSH|NERS KILLED IN RAID
200 Men Are Routed and 80 Ar.
rested in Piedmont, N. c.
Ten of the Mountaineers Were Killed
in the Pitched Battle and Women
. and Children Driven From Home.

Asheville, N. C.-In a pitched bat
tie at Piedmont, a wooded and rocky
pass in the mountains ten miles from
this city, a small army of revenue
officers routed 200 moonshiners, who
yer encouraged in the battle by
their wives and daughters. Ten Of
the moonshiners were killed and
thirty were taken prisoners, with sew
eral women and a half dozen chill
dren. Four thousand gallons Of
whisky were seized.
The revenue army was led by J.
VIII Roberts, who had been planning
the raid for three months. He re-
ceived information that the noon
sinners had gathered for the whole
sale running of mountain dew" and
that the m~ountaineers were in such
force they were prepared to resist
the revenue officers. Roberts gath
cred men from a dozen points and
led them for the mountain. The
m~oonshiners were i%ntrenched, expect
ing an attack from the front. But
under cover Of the darkness Roberts
led his men by a circuitous route up
the mountain until he was above the
mountaineers. At dawn he sent a
mar under cover of a white flag de-
handing surrender, but the noon
sinners, with derisive cheers, fired a
yolley vel the head of the messen-
ger.
The battle at once opened, and
from the first went against the moon
sinners. They were bewildered at
the heavy fire directed against them,
believing that they had not more
than a small squad of revenue men
to deal with. At the sound Of the
firing women and children came
hocking from cabins all yer the
mountainside, and the women were
insistent that the position be held.
1t became untenable after an hours
hard fighting, and the main body Of
the mountaineers, comprising 100
men, succeeded in a quick retreat.
The prisoners taken were isolated In
an advanced post. Five Of the rev.
enue officers were wounded, but none
was killed. In all fifteen wounded
men were brought to this city and
are now in the hospital.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Rowing four
miles in the twilight down a broad
ening hill-ridged river, while SO, 900,
persons cheered deliriously, the var
sity Fights Of Cornell and Columbia
fought such a battle as no two racing
crews ever fought before.
Cornell Won by a magnificent burst
Of speed In the last ten strokes, the
nose of her shell sweeping across the
finish line three feet ahead Of the New
Workers.. But from the first dip of
the oars at the head of the course IN
til the winning Ithacans dropped their
sweeps and fell back, half senseless,
in their victory, not twenty-five feet
separated either shell, and at the end
the Columbians were so close up that
the great crowd on the banks thought
the triumph was theirs.
Unusual picturesqueness was added
to the scene by the fact that dark
ness closed 30 quickly that the glare
Of the. great searchIight from the
United. States monitor Arkansas was
thrown over the crews at the finish
to aid the Judges in their decision. ..
A" gallant third in this wonderful
heart-breaking struggle rowed the
much-vaunted Annapolis team.
All the way from the first mile
post 1t had been anybody'srace. From
any part Of the observation train at
the finish it still seemed like any
body's race, with the majority be-
lieving that a dead heat had been
rowed.
Thus for the eighth time has Cor.
nell won the Varsity Challenge Cup
In this the thirteenth annual contest.
Yet the "big race was only one Of
three, the climax Of a series Of water
contests that held $4,000 persons on
the shores of the Hudson River for
more-than three hours. EV&Sf
The first contest for the Kennedy
Challenge Trophy was the race Of the
university tours. There were only
four entered and the standing was:
Syracuse, first; Cornell, second;
Pennsylvania, third, and Columbia,
fourth? -
The second ace was of the fresh
men Fights. It was won by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and was the
first time the boys from the Badger
State have taken the Stewards Cup
since 1900. The other freshmen
crews came in as follows: Syracuse,
second: Pennsylvania, third; Column
bia, fourth, and Cornell, fifth.
In the great throng that gathered
for the race Annapolis was a general
favorite. Uncle Sam did his best to
cheer his sailors. He sent three mon
itors-the Florida, Arkansas and Ne
vada-up the Hudson, and they came
to anchor In the morning near the
line of the finish. Flags were broken
out from stem to stern and made a
brave showing among the gayly dec
Grated craft which hedged the course
below the bridge. .

GOOD FELLOWS ALL, AND EQUALS, At ONE COLLEGE
Princeton University to Adopt a Radical Plan of Social Democracy, Doing
e.. Away With the Individual Clubs Live and Eat Together at
Residential auads- Present Club Life, Says President
Wilson, is DcmoraHzins and UnwhoIesome.

Club life, as it exists to-day at the
university, is demoralizing, says Pres
ident Wilson, mot because there Is
in the clubs any cynical Indifference
to study, but because the social actiV-
tiles into which their members are
naturally and inevitably drawn are
very many and very delightful and
very en%grossing, and study has to
take its chance In competition with
them.
"These influences" he continued,
@are splitting classes into factions
and endangering that class spirit
upon which we depend for our self
government and for the transmission
Of most of the loyal impulses Of the
university. The politics of candi-
dacy for membership in the upper
class club not only produce a constant
and very deporalizing. distraction
from university duties in freshman
and sophomore years, and inforce all
sorts Of questionable customs, but
they cut deeper even than that.
Group rivalries break the solid
arity Of the classes. The younger
classes are at no point made con-
scious of the interests Of the 1niver-
sity; their whole thought Is concen-
trated upon individual ambitions,
upon means Of preference. upon COM
binations to obtain selfish individual
ends. They strive against this when
they become juniors and seniors, but
they do not strive against it success
fully, and when they are freshmen
and sophomores they do not strive
against it at all.
t'The present system of life is
artificial and unwholesome."

Bryan On Weekly Papers.

The principal address at the recent
annual meeting Of the Minnesota
Press Association in st. Paul was not
On the program. William Jennings
Bryan vas in town, and, as he missed
4 train, had some time to spare, and
a prevailed upon to make q speech
to the editors. He said in part:
81 want to say a word about the
weekly newspaper; I want to make a
suggestion. Our great daily papers
are becoming more and more bust
ness enterprises and less political fac
tors. The trouble is, they are owned
mainly by rich men, and as a rule,
the men who have enough business
sense to accumulate the money re-
luired to own one Of them haven't
enough editorial ability to guide the
editorial department. Hence these
papers are edited by hired men,
Such editors almost necessarily lack
the conscience and personality of the
country editor. Therefore they also
lack his influence. A country editor,
known personally to his public.
yields more influence through his
thousand subscribers thar does a city
editor, personally unknown. through
his 100000 subscribers. In proper
ton as we put character behind the
editorial position We shall add infu-
nee to the weekly press.
1.-THE public must place an %increas-
Ing reliance upon the country papers
for leadership in political affairs.
Each party should strengthen it's
country press"

Princeton, N. J~.-President Wood
row Wilson has just instituted a most
radical and complete reorganization
Of social life at Princeton University
one that marks a departure from
the other big universities and which
will be studied with deep interest as
to its working out.
In brief, it aims to absorb the
various college clubs into what are
termed Residential Quads," where
there shall be good fellowship and
closer intimacy between faculty, up
per class men and "freshies."
The system will establish a real
democracy, with each squad" occupy
Ing dormitories, dining rooms and
rooms for social enjoyment in COM
mon. Instead of the rivalry and Bit
ter feeling engendered by club cleo
ti1ns and reflections, there will be
unity and a desire for the common
good-true loyalty to the university.
President Wilson In n phrase
summarizes the plan: ITO associate
the four classes in a generally Or
ganic manner and make of the uni
versity a real social body, to the ex-
clusion Of cliques and separate class
social organizations to give to the
university the kind Of common con-
seriousness which apparently comes
from the closer sort of social con-
tact, to be had only outside the class
room, and most easily to be got about
q common table, and in the contacts
Of a common life"
The Board of Trustees Of the uni
versity have adopted the main parts
embodied in the plan and it will
probably be put into effect shortly,
