ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's q wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
1t Is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as l then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
II lost flesh until was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First / dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although l had little faith 1t would do
me any good.
But continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. feel as IL life had truly begun
anew for me.
Il can eat anything l like now in
moderation, suffer no i'll effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring have been able to do it myself
all alone.
MY breakfast is simply Grape Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me year ago"

GOOD CAUSE FOR WRATH.
Arr Collector and lrritated Walter
Had the Same Feelings.

A Chicago art dealer was talking
about the wrath of William T. Evans,
the New York collector upon whom
so many bogus paintings have been
imposed.
He's awfully angry" said the art
dealer, repressing a smile. Some of
his cost!iest pictures, you know, have
turned out fakes. His blood boils
when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
HE told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit
tie insignificant dealer that had cheat
ed him. He said it was like the rage
of waiter that he had noted one
afternoon at luncheon.
AT luncheon, Mr.. Evans said, he
called his walters attention to dead
fly in some dish or other.
THE waiter, as he took the dish
away, muttered with malevolent
look at the limp insect:

for certain that this was the fly that's
been 5uzzing about my nose all the

DEMURRAGE WAS EXCESSIVE
Secretary of Interior Files Complaint
Against Rio Grande Because
of Rate Charged.
Especial to The HeraldD

Washington, d. c., Aug. 25.-The Sec
rotary OF the interior, on behalf of the
United States government, today en-
tered a complaint before the interstate
commerce commission against the Dem
yer d Rio Grande company, alleging
that that company made an excessive
charge of demurrage, amounting to $440
on cement shipped from Kansas tC
Utah, for use on the Strawberry valley
irrigation project. To facilitate deliv-
cry of supplies for this project the re-
clamation service assisted the railroad
In building a convenient siding at Dia-
mond switch, il being understood that
this siding should be used solely for
government materials. Before the sid
ing was built supplies were delivered al
Thistle Junction, thereby necessitating
long haul by teams.
After the Diamond switch was opened
the Walker Stone company, having
quarries nearby, began to make ex-
tensive use of il for their business, with
the consent OF the railroad, and al
times utilized all trdckage available
Thus it was necessary, in November
last, 10 send on to Thistle Junction a
large consignment of government ce-
ment which could not be unloaded al
Diamond switch The cars lay for some
time at Thistle Junction before the rail-
road was able to haul them back tC
Diamond switch for unloading. The rail-
road charged the government demur-
rage on the cars while laying at Thistle
Junction. The secretary of the interior
maintains that Diamond switch was
built. with government aid, for govern
ment use. and inaSmuch as the railroad
allowed the stone company to monopo-
lize this siding, thereby delaying de-
livery of government cement. the de-
murrage charge against the government
is unjust and should be disallOWed. He
asks for a hearing and asks the COM
mission to revoke this charge and give
the government right of way at Dia-
mond switch in future until the pro-
ject is completed.
