The Nit ish won six and the Americans three of the nine heats at hurdles. but a majority of these were uneXciting be- cause they were Walkovers.
 The American colors were raised to the flagpole three times, signifying victory in the finals. in the 100 meters swimming, the standing broad jump, and the bantam catch catch can wrestling, but these triumph did not inspire such thrills as the track per formances. because few spectators in the vast stadium could see them.

BETTER THAN GOLD Food That RebuiIds Body and Brain.

T owe a debt of gratitude to Grape Nuts" writes a w. Va. young lady, 'and I am glad of this opportunity to pay a little interest on it, although the debt itself I can never hope to remove.
 "A few years ago I broke down from over-work and improper food. was then in a preparatory school and my fondest wish was to enter college the following year.
 But about the middle of the term my health failed, and my brain re- fused to grapple with the subjects presented to it. Finally, my eye sight giving way. I was taken from the school, and sent to my grand mothers in the country with orders not to open a book while I was there.
 ''The dear old lady tried every way to console and nurse me back to health, but it looked like failure un- til the day she brought back from town a box which, had it's contents been pure gold, would have been of less value to me than the little golden brown graDules which it ac- tually contained
 'I did not care about being experi- mented on at first, but that was be- fore I had tasted Grape Nuts with Grandma's rich Jersey cream
 "Oh, it was too good to stop eat ing And I never have stopped, for still have Grape Nuts for breakfast.

Lonlon, July 20.-The second week of the Olympic contest at Shephard Bush began with the first day devoted principally to field sports such as Americans are accustomed to witness. The track athletes were the stars Of the program which contained many fast and exciting events. American and British runners and jumpers gathered the lions share of the laurels as usual, but the Americans exceeded even the expectation of their support CTS. Several hundred Americans, mostly tourists, with many ladies, massed together on the seats next the royal box, and gave the exhibition a cheering which suggested an Ameri- can college crowd and immensely amused the foreigners,
 The attendance at the games was fair. but the weather in the afternoon was gloomy, and threatened rain. Competitors from the United States were deploring the continual absence of sunshine. under which they can do their best work
 The spectacular features of today were seventeen trial heats in the 100 meter sprint, and eight trial heats in the 500 meters run. These furnished several close and stirring finishes. In the sprints America captured eight heats and Great Britain four. J. A. Rector of the university of Virginia was the particular star for he beat quite handily K. G. Mcleod of Cam bridge. the holder of three varsity blues. and who had never before been beaten. In doing so he beat Olympic record for distance in 10 4-5 seconds. The names of Sheppard, Halstead, and

BORAx IN THE DAIRY
\ Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman

Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman
The problem of keeping sweet all the
Utensils used in connection with milk
and cream selling, and butter making,
as been a serious one with the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that the
slightest faint or hint of staleness left
in can, tin or churn may ruin
whole output; that the faint which is
left is in the form of bacteria which
grow and multiply in milk or butter,
producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot wa
ter won't rinse away the greasy resi-
due in dairy utensils.
He has learned tAat soap leaves a
residue of it's own which is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
adjustments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a pro
duct of nature which exactly fills the
bill-borax.
Scientists have long know borax as
a cleanser, a sweetener and an anti
septic destroyer of bacteria and germ
growths. Destroys all that is harmful
and promotes and preserves freshness
sweetness and purity, relieving the
dairyman and dairy housewife OF
drudgery and of needless work and
worry.
It's cheapness and value should give
it first place in the necessities of every
dairy.
The cows udder is kept in a clean
healthy and smooth condition by wash
ing it with borax and water, a table
spoonful of borax to two quarts o
water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracked teats, which max
milking time a dread to the COW an
a worry to the mixer.
! The modern cleanser of all dair
utensils consists of-one Tablespoonful
$ of borax to every quart of water neeC
e ed. Remember tablespoonful equal
four teaspoonfuls.
: Be sure that you get pure borax. T

Borax"

THE ANTI-SALOON FIGHT.
I Hot Contest On for Control In the
National Capital.

National Capital.
Washington correspondence
Vested rights. as represented by tho
sreweries, dlstilleries and liquor deal
,rs, have begun to petition Congress In
anticipation of a strong move in favor
IF prohlbitory legislation at the hands
IF the national lawmakers. Primarily
the petitions are aimed against dry
capital city, which is the object fixed
pom by temperance associations which
nave been encouraged by the prohibit
lion wave that recently swept various
sections of the country.
For some time a we'll organized lobby
mas been doing quiet preliminary work
in the interest of the anti-prohibition
interests, which have been made more
anxious over the possibilities of legis-
latlon in the near future than surface
Indications would lead one to believe.
The belief is entertained that the pro
hibitlon elements are bent on driving
liquor out of the country's capital for
he moral effect such an accomplish
ment would have In still further ma
tlonalizing the general prohibition
movement.
The question before students of the
situation who are able to look at both
sides without having their view warped
oy prejudice Is this: Has the prohibi-
ton tide reached its food, and Will a
reaction presently set in; or will the
wave sweep on without serious Inter
-uption until It has converted the en-
lire country into a land Of no license
With this question in mind the work
ers on one side will put forth efforts to
make the capital of the United States
a temperance capital, while those on
the other hope that by downing the
movement here the way will be paved
for reaction from the results recently
brought about in several Of the States
especially those of the south.
The chances seem to be against any
drastic legislation on the subject by
Congress this winter. Possibly more at
tention might be given to the subject II
the Republicans and Democrats didn'
, have so much to think about In the NJ
ture of politics pertaining to Presidei'
tial candidates next year. And If actor
Is STAYED off the "antis" figure on
reversal of sentiment that will not re
qure them to worry so much in the fu
7 ture.
But there Is another side to the ant
prohibition propaganda now in progress
here which deals with the subjec
wholly apart from the local Issue In
Il volved. The attempt is being made {
impress upon Congress the magnltud
< of the whole prohibition question wit
( the argument that If prohibition pre-
+ hibited the government system of tao
g alton would have to be revised, ina'
much as two-thlrds of the government
income is now derived from interni
revenue taxes
