THE GREAT NORTHERN
 WILL COMPLY WITH LAW
It Will Not Reduce Operators Salaries But Will Give Them Extra Work Without Pay.

St. Paul, Mar 1.-The Great North ern Railway company has decided not to Teduce the salaries of their oper- ators on March 1 when the hours of service" law goes into effect. A com mittee chosen by the operators com pleted a conference with General Man ager Gruber yesterday, an agreement having been reached relative to the schedule which is to be put in force when the new law becomes effective From the general office of the Great Northern the simple statement was made that the road will comply with the law and make no reductions in the salaries by it's operators.
 From other sources it is ascertained that q change which the operators re- garded as most important is the as- .sertion that operators working nine hours will be required to look after switch lights and semaphores after they have completed their work for the day without extra pay. Under the old conditions the operators who cared for the switch lights and semaphores did so during the twelve hours of the working day and received pay there fore. The company also reserves the right to split the tricks of the men when necessary.

HOT BISCUIT Kind of Breakfast Passing Away.

The old-timc hot biscuit played q prominent pOlc in the breakfast bill of fare, along with fried potatoes. ham and eggs and coffee.
 The whiter and lighter the biscuit the more pleased the cook. which was usually Mother. who did the best she could. with her understanding of the matter.
 But most people have learned in re- cent years. that white flour lacks the nourishinE elements of the entire wheat berry. and many cases of i'm perfect nutrition follow it's use
 Tn Grape Nuts. all the food elements of wheat and barley are used. and this largely accounts for results similar to those given in the following letter:

 But during the last six months l have been eating it, my stomach has been the best for years. my mind clear, my nerves quiet and a feeling of buoy ancy pervades my whole being.
