SURPRISED HIM

A doctor in Kansas experimental

lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
IT knew something of Grape-Nuts
and it's rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and SOC became

anxiety about him.

IT am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two OF three weeks,
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite Of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.

Fisher was in very feeble health, and
could give no rational accounts as to
where he had been during his alb
sence; that he (Gilmore) then start
ed in pursuit of the officer, as before
stated; and that he should have taken
Fisher with him, only that the state
of his health did not permit.
There was about DR.. Gilmore SO
much of the air and manner OF truth,
that his statement prevailed in the
minds of the audience and OF the
court, and the Traitors were dis
charged, although they attempted no

This search continued until Satur-

it was determined to dispatch officers
to arrest William and Henry at their

Sunday morning. Meanwhile, the
search for the body was continued,
and rumors got afioat of the Traitors

places, several gold pieces, which were
readily supposed to have belonged to
Fisher. On Monday, the officers sent

lation of alkali. AS there is always
some water in the drains and as
some slope is required for flow
toward the drains, it will easily be
seen that a depth of six feet is nee
essary to insure a minimum depth
of four feet for water between the
drains. In this connection it can
be said that depth of four feet
will not prevent evaporation if the
surface soil lies idle and bakes hard.
The following is the cost estimate:

ly laid out and constructed. There
is nothing new or untried in the
plans and the soil and subsoil con-
ditions are ideal for the installation
and subsequent operation of the
system. There may be few small
spots or swales which will need adj
ditional drainage, but they will not
be general. There is not sufficient
alkali present to make special
methods necessary for it's removal.
Cropping, cultivation and irriga-
ton are all that will be necessary.
Paying crops can be grown on 80
per cent of these lands the first
year if cleared and plowed the fall
before, and the worst parts should
produce paying crops the second
year of cultivation and irrigation.
Besides these, all of the benefits of
drained soil will follow: early
spring warming up. available soil
depths and numerous other advan.
tages. A large portion of this tract
is worthless as far as crop produc-
tion goes now, and no better in
vestment could possibly be made
by the owners of these lands than
to drain them. One good crop af-
ter complete reclamation will pay
the whole cost of draining. 1t is
common thing for lands to return
300 and 400 per cent on the invest
ment for drainage both in the hu-
mid and arid states.
In the organization and subse-
quent operation of state drainage
districts great care must be taken
to do everything according to the
requirements of the law Protests
will probably be made; and if there
is any irregularity, much unneces-
sary trouble and expense will be
incurred.

Refuse to Reinstate III Old En-.
!: ployes at Once.

st. Paul. Dec. 27.-All hope Of
bringing the railroads and striking
switchmen together was abandoned
when the railway department council
Of the American Federation Of Labor
refused to accept proposition made
by the railroads Of the Twin Cities
after q conference with Governor
Eberhart in the governors Office at
the capitol.
The fight Of the railroads is said to
be against Frank T., Hawley, president
Of the Switchmen's union; that with
Mr.. Hawley eliminated the strike
would have been settled before this.
The railroad officials representing
the thirteen lines running into the
Twin Cities first went into conference
with Governor Eberhart. They pre-
pared statement which was their
ultimatum. The members of the fed
GRAFTON council were then ushered into
the governors Office and the state
ment was read to them and, through
it's counsel, the federation refused to
accept the terms of the railroads.
Every possible argument was
brought to modify the disagreement;
but nothing that was said had the
slightest effect on the railroad posi-
ton and the federationists, who COM
planned bitterly that they had con-
coded everything and that the rail-
roads had conceded nothing, refused
to consider the terms further.
Position Of the Strikers.
After the railroad officials left IT,
was stated by one of the federation
conferees that nothing would be &C.

have met the governors recommends
ton in full by agreeing to abide by
the terms Of the Chicago conference
settlement, together with the rein
statement Of striking switchmen as
there may be places vacated for them.
The officials refused, however, to
reinstate any strikers at the expense
Of others who have done the work
since the strike was declared on Nov.
30.
The railroads also refuse to reduce
in rank those employees who have
been promoted to fill places vacated
by strikers,
The railroad officials say that many

Chief Executive Will Recommend
Changes in the Interstate Commerce
and Sherman Antitrust Laws
Also Bring Forward His Ideas az to
Issuing Federal Licenses to corpo.
rations.
Washington, Dec. 29.-President
Taft has begun the preparation Of the
first Of his special messages to con.
gress. a-
This message will deal with the
amendments which he believes are
necessary in the interstate commerce
and Sherman antitrust acts. Recent
reports to the contrary notwithstand
ing it is known that the president will
take up the antitrust act and dea,
with it at great length. He will also
bring forward his ideas as to issuing
federal licenses to corporations. The
proposed license will be voluntary
one, to be taken advantage of by such
corporations as desire to place them
selves under federal jurisdiction.
It has been currently reported fol
some time that President Taft might
delay his antitrust recommendations
until the supreme court had finally
passed upon the recent Standard Oil
decision. Those to whom the presi
dent has talked within the last day OF
two say, however, he has decided to
go forward with his legislative pro-
gramme regardless of the pending de.
cision, and, having determined that
many changes are needed in the anti
trust law, he will proceed to recon-
mend these changes without regard to
the Standard Oil case.
Believes His Course Proper.
Some of the leaders of the senate
and house have argued that pending a
decision in the Standard Oil case, the
president, in recommending changes,
might be put by his political oppo
nents in the light of granting a respite
or favor to the corporations, espe
cially in regard to federal charters or
licenses. Mr.. Taft is said to feel, new
ertheless, that his views on the entire
subject have been so fully expressed
in the past and so generally under.
stood that he can go ahead without
fear of popular misconstruction.
AS matter of fact the president is
said to have told his callers that he
has novor at anv time had anv linton.
ton of altering his legislative pro
gramme as outlined in speeches on his
Western trip.
The presidents message will be
ready for reading in the two houses
of congress on Wednesday, Jan. 5,
and undoubtedly will be listened to
with far greater interest than was the
regular message read at the opening
Of the session.
