ON FOOD.
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food Is the foundation Of
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse Of the digestive organs, then all
kinds Of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
Is 70 shift TO the pure, scientific food.
Grape Nuts, for IL rehuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says;
Last summer l was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food without
great pain. my stomach was so sore
could hardly move about. This kept
up until was so miserable life was not
worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much ar
gument, induced me 70 quit my former
diet and try Grape Nuts.
Although l had but little faith I
commenced to use it and great was my
surprise 20 find that could eat it with
out the usual pain and distress in my
stomach
so | kept on using Grape-N Nuts and
soon marked improvement was shown
for my stomach was performing its reg
ular work in normal way without pain
or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull. heavy
feeling in my head disappeared and my
mind felt light and clear; the languid
tired feeling left, and altogether I felt
as II had been rebuilt. Strength and
weight came back rapidly and / went

GUTHRIE REPLIES
TO M'GOVERN
Secretary Of the Board o
Education Says That he
Followed Custom

Harry j. Guthrie, secretary of the
Board Of Education, replied this morn
ing to the assertion Of George IT. Nc
Govern. clerk of Council. that the Board
Of Education had not received its check
| from City Council for August because
Mr.. Guthrie sent the order for thecheck
! TO the treasurer's Office instead of di-
rectly to City Council. As a result of
the boards failure to receive the check.
the board was unable TO pay salaries
and current bills today, and much in
convenience was suffered. Mr.. Guthrie
says:
The order was filed in the accus-
toned place along with the city's fnan-
cial report from the City Treasurer's Of
fee made up for use of the Finance
Committee Of Council. 1t has been
the custom TO file the order in this man
ner since the boards charter was en-
acted by the General Assembly in 1905.
and tho city treasurer was thereby
made the treasurer of the board. The
order so deposited has been accepted
by all the former Councils without
Question In fact the statements and
orders were always called for by the
bailiff. The statements from the city
treasurer's Office together with the
boards order were according to infor-
nation from the City Treasurer's clerk
W. s. Lednum. deposited with and in
the possession of City Council officials
on Thursday afternoon. which was ad
mitted by Mr.. McGovern. clerk Of Coun-
Gil.
"The boards appropriation according
TO the charter shall be paid on the Sec
ond Monday in each and every month
during the year by the city treasurer.
upon orders drawn by the aforesaid
board under the hand of the President
attested by the secretary, The act does
not specify where the order shall be de-
livered. neither does the City Charter
provide. II remains for Council to an
lpropriate each month regardless of the
order and for the board to draw on the
appropriation through the city treasur-
err Clerk Of Councils attention was
called TO ii on Monday, when il was
found that the check was not forthconn-
ling. Information was volunteered that
a signature was only needed. nothing
was said at that time about the order
not having having been left in the right
place which was probably an after
thought to shift responsibiIity."
Mr.. McGovern said today that the
order had been deposited with him on
Thursday. as Mr.. Guthrie saws. but un-
approved by the city auditor so that
there was no time for it to be sent in
and accepted by City Council.

Paul Rerdmal For Futile
Attempt al Rescue

In appreciation Of his heroic but un-

Ross, the nine-year-old son of City Coun-
Gilman Daniel p. DuTloss who was drown
ed in Brandywine creek on July 81, Mr.
DuTsoss has presented Paul Hcrdman, 10
years old, with a handsome gold watch
and chain.
Herdman repeatedly dived in an effort
to rescue his companion, who had gone
beyond his depth. Herdman finally
brought the body to the surface. but
DuRoss could not be revived. Had he
been nearer the child when he went down
Herdman would undoubtedly have been
successful in his attempted rescue.
Learning OF Herdmans heroic conduct.
Councilman DuRoss decided to reward
the brave boy suitably and presented the
watch and chain few days ago. The
watch is engraved with the initials Of the

DYNAMITE
BLOW-UP
KILLS A MAN
About Four Hundred Pounds
Went off at WOOddaIe
Quarry

By the explosion of several hundred
pounds Of dynamite at the Wooddale
quarries this morning an Italian quar-
ryman was blown to pieces, three per-
sons were hurt and much damage was
done to property in the country sur
rounding the auarries.
The dynamite was stored in a tool
and storage house at the quarries, and
the italian who lost his life was known
as Julian. He was at the storage
house when the dynamite went up.
Roth Ryan, boy of Mt. Cuba, and
two italian quarrymen were hurt by
flying wreckage.
It was about 1O.45 o'clock when the
explosion occurred. Julian had gone
to the house to get some dynamite,
and in some manner it exploded when
he was within the building. Whether
he was smoking when in the building
will never be known.
with a roar the explosive went OFF.
and Julian was blown into the air and
torn into fragments. The house was
shattered.
But a few small pieces OF the mans
body were recovered. They we're placed in
a bucket to be viewed by Coroner Cay
nor and Deputy Coroner Chandler.
Roth Ryan. a boy who works about the
quarries. was struck on the head by hy-
ing pieces of timber and rock and was
seriously cut. He was taken to house
nearby and was given medical attention
there. Two Italian quarrymen were cut
about the body by flying missiles.
There were about 400 pounds of dyna-
mite in the Toulouse when Il went up. i
was part Of the supply taken from th'
main magazine some distance away TO b
used only during the day. Had the maga
zinc gone up there would have been mucl
greater loss of life.
The force Of the explosion shattered
windows in farm houses for more thar
a half mile The windows in the Spring
Hill brewery were shattered. and dishe
ere knocked from tables in houses in th'
vicinity Of the quarry.
The shock was plainly felt in Whining
