CONGENlAL WORK
And Strength to Perform II.

A person in good health is likely
to have genial disposition, ambition,
and enjoy work.
On the other hand. if the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food, work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl, Il was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in a
large city, lived at boarding house
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
After few months of this diet
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed ter
rible effort, and thought the work was
to blame-too arduous.
AT home 1 had heard my father
speak of a young fellow who went
long distances in the cold on Grape
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
Il concluded if it would tide him
over mornings heavy work, it might
help me, so on my way home one
night l bought a package and next
morning 1 had Grape-Nuts and milk
for breakfast.
Il stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less
than two weeks l noticed improve
ment. l can't just tell how well
felt, but 1 remember l used to walk
the IL blocks to business and knew
how good it was simply to live.
'As to my work-well, did you ever
feel the delight of having congenial
work and the strength to perform it?
That's how 1 felt. I truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain of
Grape-Nuts."

Citizen Soldiers Unique Idea Of the

Australians still tell stories of the

Exchange, was left one wet and miser
able night to guard a wagonload of
goods.
He shivered in the unsheltered place
for some hours bordering many things,
and then a bright thought struck him
just as the colonel came around On
his tour of inspection.
Colonel" he asked, how much is
this wagon WORTH"

Much or little, we can't afford to lose
it."
We'll, but colonel" persisted the

Chicago.-"Not guilty"

Chicago.-"Not guilty"
This was the result reached today
In the governments famous suit
| against the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana.
The suit of the government, wherein
the defendant company at enc time
faced fine of s29.240,000 al the
hands of Judge Lands on a charge OF
having accepted rebates in freight from
the Chicago & Alton railroad, came to
an end abruptly.
Judge Anderson, before whom the
case was brought after reversal by the
United States Court Of App"als. in
structed the jury to find u verdict CT
not guilty.
Judge Anderson's decision was not
altogether unlocked for. he having pre-
viously announced that the proof re
lied upon in the first trial was neon
petent, and it was with some.h ng of
an air of hopelessness that Dis riot At
torney Sims and his assistants at
tempted to show the almiss' bility of
the Illinois classification to prove the
existence of a legal rate of Is cents,
which was a vital point in the govern
ment's contention
Assistant District Attorney Wiiker
son admitted that the prosecution
could not furnish the proof deemed to
be necessary and suggested dismissal
Attorney Miller then moved fer an
instructed verdict of not guilty. This
was ordered
The decision of Judges GrosscIp, Ba-
ker and Seaman of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. reversing
Judge Lands. together with the action
of the United States Supreme Court
in refusing to review the decision of
the Court of Appeals, played an impor-
tant part in disposing of the case.
Whether prosecution on two other
indictments still pending against the
company will be instituted. District
Attorney Sims would not express an
opinion, stating that the question rest
ed entirely with the attorney general.
The federal authorities said tonight
Judge Anderson's ruling will invaiidate
class tariffs and make it impossible to
convict a shipper of violations Of class
tariff regulations.
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, who wrote
the opinion of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals, upon which
Judge Anderson based his action, said :
The thing for the government to do
is to do away with classifications in
the regulation of tariff rates and make
the railroads file tariffs that specify
the rate on each commodity, without
regard to classification. That might
mean a great cost to the railroads, but
l know nothing of that. Changing of
tariffs, however, means particular
changes to meet conditions and means
no more of complete change than is
made in different editions of tele-
phone directory"
Judge Lands had nothing to say
concerning the decision.
