frank EXPIRE ssion OF opinion by the
News Leader: -
Frank Cunningham, city collector
of Richmond. Is one OF the pleasantest
and most deservedly popular men we
have. Nobody hsre believes that he
would do wrong intentionally or take
for himself a dollar Of city money. Yet
he has bsen very imprudent and has
violated all the accepted rules OF bu'i-

oblige his friends he has taken
chances which he had no right TO
take. has transgre ssed the law. and In
effect has violated his oath CT Office.
He should resign. II he does net re-

knowledging his fault and retiring

NAY WARD Off OLD AGE.
Removal of Large Intestine Urged by Doctor Who
Backs UP MeEchnlEkoff.

London the result of ipvesti-
cations at st. Mary's Hospital, Lon
don, DR.. Distaso, OF Paris, says he has
verified the theory of Professor Met
chnikoff that old age can be warded
of.
II will be recalled that Professor
Metchnikoff declared it to be his con-
yiction couple of years ago that the
large intestine was the breeding place
of the majority of harmful germs in
the human body, and that when this
intestine was removed the majority
of germs remaining in the body were
beneficial, with the result that life
was prolonged. DR.. Distaso's inyesti-
cations were directed to comparing
the germs found in normal individ-
uals and in those whose large intes-
tine had been removed by operation.
He so satisfied himself by his studies

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food, and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect Of
different foods on patients. My own
little son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia, and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so started
the boy on Grape-Nuts and found
from the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him stead
lily, and he began to improve at once.
In less than month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient Of mine, 7S years
old, came down with serious stomach,
trouble, and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost
nothing, and was in serious condi-
tion. He had tried almost every
kind of food for the sick without
avail
II Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts, with good, rich milk and just
little pinch Of sugar. He exclaimed
when came next day, why, doctor,
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger.
Fl am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or 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 20
pounds In two months, which at his
age is remarkable. f
II could quote list of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders"

LEG WEAKNESS.

AT this season leg weakness, in
fowls and also with chicks results,
and it gives much annoyance to. those
who do not know the cause. When a
hen is apparently lame and cannot
stand on her legs, remove her at once
from the yard containing the male.
This difficulty is more general in
spring than at any other time, When
little chicks have leg weakness it
may be due to dampness, lack of
warmth and also lack Of work. 1t is
important that little chicks scratch
and keep in exercise. Poultry Rec

CEMENT TRUST IMPOSSIBLE.

J. Geological Survey Says Every
County In Country Can Make It.
A bulletin issued by the geological
survey on the Concentration Of Ce-
ment interests declares 1T can be
said that there is noticeable a GER
tain concentration Of interests in the
cement industry, and that this Will
probably become more marked year
by year. The eighty-eight plants in
existence in 1905 are owned by sew
enty-eight companies, and several OF
these nominally independent conpan-
les are closely connected In owner
ship. s.-%sasasssat ri
The nature Of the cement industry
renders 1t improbable that any COM
bination or noncompetitive arrange
ment can be carried to such point
as to result in a monopoly Of the in.
dusAry and permanently high prices.
Good raw materials are so widely
distributed in the United States that
there is hardly county which could
not produce Portland cement II prices
were forced high enough. The only
limitation now on the erection of ce.
ment plants is the fact that the great
cost makes the ventures prohibitive
for the individual or for the small
trim"
