II began to take four tablespoonful
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times

my only food; It tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. 1t was so nourishing

health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is Of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach is so de-
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
II am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are 9TH

NEW SHIPPING BILL IGNORED.
Winnipeg Grain Men Charter Boats
On Old Law.

though navigation has not yet actually
commenced, quite a number of boats
have already been chartered for car

BILL" said Hugh N Baird, ex-president
of the Winnipeg exchange, in speak
ing for the shipping interests yester-
day.
1--WE simply will not ship under the
new shipping bill, continued Mr..
Baird. 'All shippers are of that de-
termination"
The essential point of the contro-
versy between the grain men and the
Canadian Marine association is a
clause which the latter placed in their
new bill of lading placing shortages
which occur in transit on water to
the account of the shippers, instead of
to the vessel owners.
"One thing that we absolutely
know" said Mr.. Baird, 'is that the
weighing facilities at Fort William
and Port Arthur and the system of
double checks are as modern as they
can be made. At the other end of
water routes, however, weighing ia
cilities are often antiquated. We are
trying to form a terminal elevator

boat will take it's whole cargo from
one elevator instead of from several

LAWYER REPENTS
AFTER 81 YEARS
TELLS PARDON BOARD HE SENT
TWO TO PRISON UNJUSTLY.
Guilty Conscience Drives James Egan
to Ask for Mercy-Was Acting
at the Time as Prose-
cutting Attorney.

st. Paul, April 13.-"I have worried
for "a years about the sentence melted
to these men,"
These were the words of the man
who, as prosecuting attorney over a
quarter of century ago, sent two ne
groes, R. l.. Underhill and George
Washington, to the penitentiary for
life on second degree murder charge.
The acknowledgment of guilty
conscience was made before the state
pardon board by former District
Judge James Egan, now tottering
with age.
He made plea for the two negroes
who he believes have been unjustly
imprisoned through his action in
prosecuting them. The old retired
judge was so feeble that he could
scarcely make himself heard, and his
memory had grown so dim since the
days of his active legal career that
many times he was forced to stand in
helpless confusion as an incident of
the case or a date defied recalling.
The negroes, he said, had been ar
rested principally upon circumstantial
evidence. A house on Summit ave-
nue., st. Paul, had been robbed and
the escaping burglars shot a police
man who intercepted them. A wom-
an who lived at the house and saw
the burglars in the dark, afterwards
said that they were negroes. Upon
this and other unfavorable evidence,
Underhill and Washington were ar
rested and charged with murder. Sen
timent was so strong in the city
against them, that this was made use
of to brighten the negroes into the
making of an allegedly false confes-
sion, to save themselves from lynch
ing. Their confession was obtained
from them, the former judge said,
while under the stress that a mob
was then waiting for them outside the
old jail The negroes were railroaded
through the court and to life impris-
onment in the penitentiary without
jury trial.
Il shall rest easier if l know have
done something to undo this injus-
tice," the aged Judge concluded.
The case was not acted upon, but
will be brought up probably this af-
ternoon when the board convenes.
