WINS HER HEART
Food That Helps Baby and the Family
Pleases Mother.

FlcdSeS mOtneI.
Show mother how to feed her baby
so that it will be healthy, rosy and
plump and grow up strong and sturdy
and the mothers gratitude is ever
lasting.
A mother says: "Five weeks ago /
weaned baby but could not get her to
take any kind of food until I tried
GrapeNuts which she relished from the
first, and on it she pumped up and
blossomed into fat, chubby little
girl.
'I feed GrapeNuts to her regularly
Use three packages week for baby
and my three year-old boy alone, and /
find that it regulates and keeps them
nourished, strong and in good health
all the time.
"Since feeding my children on Grape
Nuts | have used absolutely no medi-
cine for either of them. Such food as
this that does such wonders wins its
way to a mothers heart. Please accept
our thanks for the good your food has
done in our family where we all eat it."
Children will grow up strong and
healthy, or weak and puny according to
the food they get.
Grape-Nuts is a complete and perfect
food for adults and children, is made
on scientific lines and this is easily
proved by trial.

famous little book, "The Road to Well

BALLOON PASSES OVER ALPS
AERONAUTS REACH ALTITUDE
OF 1873 FEET.
Traverse Mont Blanc and Land on
Dangerous Spot Near Locarno.
Other High Records.

CHAMONIX, France. August 1O.-The
balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying
over the Alps. The airship left here last
Sunday under the pilotage of NJ Spell
terine. who had with him three passen-
gers. Fears were entertained for the
safety of the voyagers, but they have
been dlspelled by the receipt of report
that they have landed safely at point
near Locarno at an altitude of 8 400 feet.
The four men. however. still have dan
gerous path to cover on foot from the
place where they landed into Locarno
The Sirius traversed Mont Blanc and
scared over the Aiguille du Dru and the
Aiguille Verte. The highest altitude at
ta1ned on the voyage was $500 meters.
equal to 1888 feet.
A successful balloon trip over Mont
Blanc and the Alps was made in No
vember of 1906 by two Italian aeronauts
in the balloon Milano. The greatest alti-
tude reached on this trip was 2O.5Uo feet.
and the rarefied atmosphere made it nee
eSSary Tor the men to resort to their
supply of oxygen to keep alive The
Mllano, which went UP from Milan came
down at Aix-la- -Bains after having COW
cred a distance of 175 miles in three
hours.
The record for height in a balloon
would appear to belong to two English
men. MeSsrs. CoXwell and Glaisher, who,
in 1867, ascended to a height of 81 900
feet. or about seven miles In 1879 NJ
Tissandier, Frenchman, rose more than
five miles into the air. He was ac-
companied by friend who died on
the way. A self-registering balloon sent
up without passenger from Paris in
1893 reached an altitude of -. 1870 feet.

TARIFF law REGULATIONS
PHILIPPINE SECTION MADE
PUBLIC IN SAN FRANCISCO.
In Usual Form Except Portion
Which Relates to Tobacco,
Cigars and Sugar.

Regulations sent to all customs officers
for the administration of the Philippine
section of the new tariff law were made
public today by Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Reynolds The regulations are
in the usual form. except as they relate
to shipments of tobacco. cigars and sugar,
which articles are admitted free up to
certain prescribed amounts for each fiscal
year.
To avoid abuse of the free entry pro-
vision collectors of customs are required
to report promptly to the Secretary of
the Treasury each free entry of sugar.
tobacco and cigars granted. giving de-
tailed marks and numbers and other
facts nssded for the certain identification
of the shipments.
When Limit Is Reached.
When the maximum quantities of
cigars, tobacco and sugar admitted to
free entry in any fiscal year have been
reached all collectors will be informed
by telegraph. The fact also will be
cabIed to representatives in the Philip
pines Any shipments en- route when the
maximum has been reached and which
arrive thereafter will have to pay the
full duty or be returned to the country
of origin or diverted to some other coun-
try.
For number of years, it is believed.
there is no danger of the Philippine
Islands furnishing for export to the
United States the full amount of sugar.
tobacco and cigars which the new law
prescribes shall have free entry. AS
these industries grow. however the limi-
tations are likely to provoke many con-
troversies. That there will be rivalry
between consgnees Is certain and some
interesting races betweent}srge shipments
be anticipated.

BOSTON. August 10.-In interview
attributed To Sergt. Arthur Tard. United
States Marine Corps. and made public to-
day by the Boston Post, it is stated that
if he should be called before the investl-
cation of the death of Lieut. James N
Sutton, jr., his testimony would be ex-
actly opposite to that given by Suttons
fellow-officers.
Sergt. Tard, who has been on range
duty at Wakefield, left early today for

Sergt. Tard's Story.
Describing the shooting. Sergt. Todd
says:
II was corporal of the guard on the
night Lieut.. Sutton was shot. From the
place where / was standing l saw figure
about $50 feet away The man, who was
in shirt sleeves. started to run.
Il heard voice cry: Stop running.
You're under arrest The man ran on.
Once more / heard the same voice cry
out loudly, Stop running or I'll shoot.
THE man paid no attention and ran
on. Then, the next moment, / saw a
flash and heard revolver report. There
were three other shots. The man who
was running dropped, / do not know at
what shot
IAN over 10 MIN anu DeDl over. IL
was Lieut.. Sutton. / saw hole in the
mans forehead where there was rag
ged wound and hole back of the left ear
where the bullet came out clean.
Rocker Hit by Bullet.
Lieut. Rocker, who has been often
mentioned in the case. came into the
guardroom where l then was a short time
before the shooting. He was with pri-
n
drink together. At the time of the shoot
ing he was not anywhere in sight.
The next morning an enlisted man
found a revolver on the ball field. which
was not the regular service revolver, but
a .s2-caliber affair."
Todd said at one time in the converse
ton that he had the bullet himself that
killed Sutton. burt later stated that some
one else had taken it. He refused TO
state. finally, whether he knew where
the bullet was or not.
Just after the shooting when | had
returned to the guardroom, Rocker came
in all out of breath and greatly excited
lie said:
My God. Archie; / think I've been
shot
~ laughed at him at first. but he was
so earnest about it that ] felt in his left
hand outside pocket just over his heart.
There was a drill regulation book there.
A bullet had become mushroomed in the
pages.
Rocker in Line of Fire.
Rocker was very excited when |
pulled out the book and showed him the
bullet and the way in which his life had
been saved. He stripped down to the
skin, and there was perceptibie reddish
tinge just over his heart, showing just
where the bullet would have gone had
the book not interposed
Rocker and | talked the matter over.
We agreed he must have run into the
fire of the bullets. one of which had
killed Sutton. There were four shots that
heard in all. One of them, l am con-
WINGED, struck Rocker.
