Serious Charges Made
 By A Meat Inspector

St. Louis, June 10.-After IS months service as United States meat inspector in an East St. Louis packing house, J.. F. Harms has resigned and has writ ten letter to Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson demanding an investi- gation of the meat inspection system at the National Stock yards.
 Harms, who has gone to his home in Fremont, o. asserts that he has resigned because ne 1ould net talaratS the conditions he aw and that inspec- tors in charge of the bureau of animal industry are too lenient with the pack CTS.
 After asserting that the United States Inspected and Passed" as it ap- peared on products of all the pack ing houses is meaningless because of the inadequacy of the inspection, Harms says in part:
 "The inspection at the National yards Illinois, is costing the people approximately $100,000 a year, and it is not actually worth $1 to them. For when the word is passed from the in spector In charge on to the inspectors actually doing the work on the floors that they are getting too many con- demned animals, and to change the grading what does that mean? It means that the whole thing Is rotten, and a farce. The packers are getting

 "These are all permitted by those in charge. If an inspector calls their at tention to any of the wrong, he is told as I was, that the people who eat such stuff are too lazy to prepare anything for themselves and ought to have such stuff.
 q will give you another instance that happened elsewhere.

NEARING THE END
 IN CALHOUN CASE

San Francisco, June 1O.-The prose- president of the United railroads, which began January 12, rested it's case for the people this afternoon.
 The state made reservation per- hitting the introduction of testimony for half an hour tomorrow if it de- cides that this slight margin of evil dence is essential. In every other re- spect, as announced by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Heney the case of the state, which was opened on April 15, after three months work in selecting a jury is submitted and the attorneys for the defense will be called upon to decide wh ether or not the trial is to be prolonged by the offer of testimony in Calh houn's behalf.
 The attorneys refused to state to- night what course would be pursued.
 The session was devoted largely to an argument involving an order to pro- duce certain books and vouchers of the United railroads, which MT. Heney con- tended should show the disposition made of fund of $200, ,000 received by Tirey L. Ford, through the United States mint, in 1906, and which is al- legged to have been paid as a bribe to Eugene E. Schmitz, Abraham Ruef and the members of the board of super visors that awarded the overhead troll ley permit.
 At times the verbal battle waxed warm and irritating personalities were included in the statements of the speakers.
 Judge Lawler made an order request ing the United railroads to produce any and all records of payments to Tirey l.. Ford during a period fully covering the alleged payments to supervisors.

Corn prosnects.

Montrose Journal: F. H. Clancy of
Route 2, while talking with friends
one day last week stated that the
drouth was hurting corn and that we
could not expect half crop. In a
few minutes to prove his assertion he
brought out five ears of corn that
were from ten to fifteen inches long
and filed perfectly. that was grown
on his own farm. No doubt the
drouth has hurt corn some, and is bad
on thin land, but our good land corn
all looks like the CLANCY corn, as
though it would not make over eighty
or ninety bushels to the acre. AL
most every spring we have too much
rain, and most every summer too
much heat, but at corn gathering
time, it is forgotten, as we always
have the bins full.

FROM THE BENCH.
A Judge commends Pure Food.

A Judge of Colorado Court said:
Nearly one year ago began the use
OF Grape-Nuts as a food. Constant
confinement indoors and the monot-
onous grind of office duties had so
weakened and impaired my mental
powers that felt the imperative need
of something which neither doctors
nor food specialists seemed able to
supply.
"A weeks use OF Grape-Nuts twice
each day convinced me that some un.
usual and marvellous virtue was con-
tanned therein. My mental yigor re-
turned with astonishing rapidity;
brain WEAKNESS (from which | had
constantly suffered) quickly disap-
peared clearness of thought and intel
lectual health and activity which
had never previously known were to
me the plain results of few months
rse of this food
"Unhesitatingly commend Grape.
Nuts as the most remarkable food
preparation which science has ever
produced SO far as my knowledge and
experience extends"
The Judge is right. Grape-Nuts food
is certain and remarkable brain
builder and can be relied upon
There's a reason"
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest.
