CUT DOWN FOOD COST.

The one great problem of good
housekeeping is how best to exercise
food economy and still keep the en-
joyment of meals at top notch"
Faust Brand Spaghetti is the ready
solution-for here is food that not
only helps the housewife to more than
make both ends meet, but that actu-
ally adds to the JOY of mealtime be-
cause of the zest 1t lends to every
meal of which it forms part.
Another advantage is that it is so
nourishing even if the housewife
has to entirel yremove meat from the
bill-of-fare the health and strength of
the family In no whit suffers if Faust
Spaghetti is used-rather, the family
health will improve because Faust Spa
ghetti nourishes without overtaxins

road.

The Burlington road has made an
innovation, and the announcement has
been issued that no more suspensions
from the service because of infractions
of the rules or for other cau3es
will be made. The merit system,
changed to meet the requirements of
the Burlington road, will be inaugu-
rated. A service record of each man,
will be kept and men who lose their
positions will do so because their rec
ords are bad.
In the bulletin issued by Daniel Will
lard, second vice president of the sys-
tenn, 1t is planned out that discipline
has not been improved nor service
made better by actual suspension for
infractions of the rules, while the en-
ploye and those dependent upon him
may be made to suffer by his loss of
employment for a period when he is
not permitted to work. The change is
made in the interest of the employees as
well as the company.
- Mr. Wizards bulletin, relating to the
change, is as follows:
Chicago, May 1. 1909 Effective
this date the practice of suspending emt
ployes in the train and engine depart
ment, because Of infraction of the
rules, or for other causes, will be dis
continued.
| A complete and accurate service his
tory of all employees affected by this
order will be kept in the Office of each
division superintendent, and also in
the Office of the superintendent of the
employment department.

dead.
\ He was lying partially upon one

blood was trickling from his mouth.
The empty bottle was found near by.
Took Csrboiic Acid.
There was one ounce bottle in the
house which had contained carbolic
acid and this had been partially used
BY Mrs. Hunt during the winter, as a
wash for her hands. She stated that
the bottle was over half emptied of its
contents, so that the man must have
taken not over half ounce OF the
acid.
He had entered the house and lock-
ed the door after him. but his wife
also had a key and was thus, enabled
TO enter the house.
The suicide must have occurred at
about 4:30 o'clock. for ne was seen at
about that time going home
During the day he had been drink

ton. He was employed as a painter
with Bonham Brothers and was at the
shop during the day, sitting outside
for awhile and then being brought In

The coroner was summoned and a

record Of any man until the case has
been fully investigated, and the en-
ploye affected will, If desired, be given
personal hearing in that connection
Whenever record entry is made, ths
man affected will be given in writing
an exact copy of such entry.
Any employe found guilty of disloy.
atty to the company, of insubordina-
ton, or drunkenness, will be dismissed
from the service and will not be re-
employed. An employee whose service
record clearly indicates that he is not
a safe or fit man to retain in the serv-
ice will be dismissed.
Promotion will in future, as in the
past, depend upon the service record
of the man involved, and upon his fit
ness for increased responsibilities.
When these are equal as between two
men, the one older in the service will
be given the preference.
An employee upon his request in
writing will at any time be giver a
copy of his service record.
Officers directly in charge of men
affected by this order are especially re-
quested to report for entry all COM
mendable actions on the part of such
which may justify criticism or repri-

The purpose of this order is to as
sure constant and permanent employ
ment to those employees whose service
records indicate their fitness for the

PHYSICIAN DESCRIBES
fiARRIMAN'S ILLNESS
VIENNESE TELLS OF FATAL
MALAY
Noted Doctor Says Magnate Was Al
fIicted by Spinal AiIment and
Malignant but Mysterious
Disease of Stomach

VIENNA, Oct. 1.-The nature of E
H. Harriman's fatal illness is de-
scribed in detail by the Austrian spe-
cialist, Prof A. Won Strumpell, who
treated the railroad magnate in vi
emma. In a letter to a professional
friend, which found it's way into the
columns of the Vienna Neue Freie
Presse, Professor Won Strumpell says
that according to reports of Mr.. Har-
riman'S state of health as furnished
by the patients own medical advisers
he was suffering from a peculiar form
of spinal disease known as chronic
spondElitis.
An examination made in Vienna by
means Of the Roentgen rays appa-
ratus confirm this diagnosis, and ac-
cOrdingly MI Hartman was ordered
to take the cure in the Summering
Hills and at Gastein.
"Afterward," the professor goes on
quite independently of spinal trouble
symptoms of a stomachic disorder
arose, which seemed to me suspicious
and malignant.
"At Gastein Mr.. Hartman i'm
proved noticeably, and we began tC
hope that after all our apprehensionS
might prove to be unfounded.
"But by the end of July the stom-
ach troubles began TO get worse, an6
when | re-eXamined the patient al
Salzburg on August 3 there was un-
fortunately no room for doubt as re-
garded the diagnosis.
We doctors all agreed from the
beginning that the case was not one
for an operation. The trouble mani
tested itself in an exceedingly secre-
tive way; there was no trace of any
palpable swelling.
I'm order to make quite sure [ ad'
vised Mr. Hartman to enter the
Neu- Wittelsbach sanitarium neal
Munich, where a most thorough exam
ination of the state of the stomach
was made. The diagnosis of stomach
carcinoma became a certainty. Prof
Friedrich Muller an eminent special
list of Munich, concurred in this view
also in the opinion that an operation
could not be performed. Mr.. Harri
man was a doomed man. No sci
enlist in the world could have savec
him. All we could do was to MAX,
the end of his life as free from suffer
! ing as possible"

PLEADS GUILTY
TO REBATlNG TO
COAST SHIPPERS
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY
IS FINED $1,000
SIXTEEN OTHER COUNTS ARE
DISMISSED BY COURT
-
Railway Officials Claim offenses Were
Committed Through lnadVertence,
and Not Through Disrespect
for the Laws

Alleging the offenses were committed
through inadvertence and not through
ciisrespect of the law, the Southern
Pacific Railroad company yesterday
pleaded guilty to two counts of re-
pleaded guilty in the United Stat s
district court to two counts of rebating
and was fined $1,000 in each case by
Judge Olin Wellborn.
The cases on which guilt was ad-
mitted and the fines assessed were
commenced more than a year ago, on
indictments returned while Oscar Law
Ter was United States district attorney
Indictment Sc charged the Southern
Pacific carried several carloads OF
fruit for the Penn Fruit company OF
Redlands and rebated to that company
part of the freight charges. Ihere
were three counts in this indictment. |.
Indictment IS charged the shipment
over the Southern Pacific to the Harris
Newmark company of Los Angeles OF
several consignments of hides from
Yuma, Ariz., and that the railroad re-
mitted to the shipper a part of the
freight charges made. There were fif-
teen counts in this indictment.
Relating Is Charged
Indictment 81 charged the shipment
from Hong Kong, China, of a consign-
ment of Oriental goods, by way Of the
Pacific Mail steamer Siberia, to San
Francisco and from there to Los An
geles over the lines of the Southern
Pacific. The latter was alleged to have
charged for the shipment from Hong
Kong a certain fixed and published
rate, and later to have rebated certain
parts of that rate and returned toI
the shippers, a Chinese firm, a sum
of money. There were ten counts in
this indictment.
To the last named indictment the
railroad pleaded not guilty and the
government found it probably would
be impossible to convict. The reason
for this is that District Attorney Nc
Cormack, now in charge of the case,
was unable to prove a conHnuous ship
ment from Hong Kong to Los An
geles, as the first part of the journey
was made by boat and the last by
rail.
On the other two indictments, how
ever, c. H. Durborrow of San Fran
cisco, attorney for the railroad. en-
tered a plea of guilty to the first count
of each, and the other counts were
then dismissed on motion of the district
attorney. Judge Wellborn fined the de-
fendant the minimum on each count
$1,000 and granted ten days stay Of
execution for the payment of the fines.
