ex-Secretary of the Treasury, and now
president of the Carnegie Trust Company,
allowed himself to be interviewed yesterday
On the state Of the country. He said:
Our farms produce more than S6, 5Oe.-
Ooo.ooo per annun. and the prospect is good
Tor an average crop. Our mines yield more
than 81, 500 OOO, 600 and our forests mora
than $100. .000. 100000. and neither of these
sources of wealth has been exhausted, The

products Is approximately $1,000 cOo 600

raiiways earn more than $2OO0,OG0, 600 and

payrolls of our factories and railways ae-
gregate approximately 81. 800 O6e. 600 and the
scale OF wages has not been reduced
In other words. the real sources of the

never yet experienced a period OF severe
depression that was not traceable to fnan-
clal or economic agitation or le9islation
and usually to both.
I'm 1898 the redemption of greenbacks
in silver instead OF sold was openly advo-
Gated: the party in power was under prom
ise to remove the protective tariff from our
Industries. and the free coinage of silver at
the ratio Of sixteen to one was championed
by prominent members of both parties, The
country might have survived any one Of
these sources Of alarm. but it could not
survive all three
'At this time no one questions our flnan-
cial system and the tariff will not be
touched for at least eighteen months.

are going is most desirable. and the check

now require a fair measure Of confidence
and courage to prevent undue retardment
in our industries. Capital cannot be forced

activity. I have never seen the time when
universal sanity was more essential to our

FOOD
FACTS
Grape=Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance.

People hesitate at the statement that the IA
nous food, GrapeNuts yields as much nourtsh-
ment from pound can be absorbed by the
system from ten pounds OF meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds OF meat might contain more
nourfshment than pound of Grape-Nuts. but
not In shape that the system viii absorb as large
a proportion OF. as the body can take up from
one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts OF wheat
and barley which are prepared and by natural
means predigested. transformed into form OF
sugar ready for Immediate assimilation. People
I'm all parts of the world testify to the value Of
Grape-Nuts
A Missouri man says: II have gained ten pounds
on Grape Nuts food I can truly recommend IL to
thin people" He had been eating meat, bread
ETC.. right along, but there was no ten pounds OF
added flesh until Grape Nuts food WIS used.
One curious feature regarding true health food
Is that its use will reduce the weight of cor
pulent person with unhealthy flesh. and will add
to the weight OF thin person not properly nour
ished. There Is abundance of evidence to prove
this.
Grape-Nnts balances the body in a condition Of
true health. Scientific selection OF food elements
makes Grape Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing properties have
made friends that In turn have made Grape Nuts
famous There's a Reason Read "Ths Road

FACING A CAR SHORTAGE
OBJECT LESSON PRESENTED TO
THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Secretary Moseley Attempts to Relieve
the Situation-Railway Men Ap-
pear Much Interested.

The Interstate commerce commission is.
having striking illustration of the diff
cultles IN transportation that face so many
sections OF the country. Interstate COM
merce Is no more badly hampered at this
time than Is the Interstate commerce COM
mission itself with its perpendicular rail-
way or elevator as it is commonly known.
The single. car has thrown upon it the task
of caring for all the passenger and freight
traffic of the building. There is no rival
line to which the commission can give its
business. and there appears no way in which
competition in the service can be secured.
When Commissioner Clements arrived at
the lower terminus Of the road this morn
ing he witnessed the unloading of freight
from the car In operation and after sew
eral minutes of contemplation remarked
tersely: There is car shortage"
The. car shortage Is so great that Secre-
tary Moseley. with his wilde experience In
transportation matters, has attempted to
lend aid by the posting ora notice printed
IN white letters on q blue background. The
notice reads as follows:
"Only one car running. Please step
lively"
This notice. it 10 believed, ia doing great
deal to remedy the insufficient service. and
several railroad men who have recently
visited the headquarters OF the commission
have remarked that the plan of the genial
secretary to promote the handling OF pas
sengers is SO good that they propose adopt
ing It on their roads. Just as they did the
secretary's notice which preceded the pres
ent blue and white one The other notice
was for facilitating the handling Of pas
sengers, and read:
"The elevator stationed below will carry
passengers up. The elevator stationed
above will carry passengers down"
That sign was studied very carefully by
great many traffic experts, and 1t is be-
heved 1t had great influence on the rules
adopted by many Of the common carriers.
But with new equipment installed in the
headquarters OF the commission improves
nlents are expected in the handling Of the
traffic. The commission Is receiving a good
many complaints On account Of the service
and petitions for reparation because of ex-
pensfve detentfons are likely to follow. ALI
