LABOR HAS BIG SHARE.
s71 Out of Every 500 Earned Goes
to Railway Employees.

What became of the $2,5S5,91S,000
gross earnings of the railroads Of this
country last year is a question which
w. G. Brown, senior yice-president OF
the New York Central, set about to
learn little while ago. The result
of his Investigations has been made
public, and in doing so he answers
the question.
Mr.. Brown says ST. out of every
500 earned by the railroads in 1907
was almost Immediately redisbursed
in payment for labor or equipment and
material, of which labor forms by far
the largest component part. He says
that the railroads receive more and
keep less than almost any other de-
partment OF business activity in this
country
Out of every $500 earned by the
railroads, he says, only SO goes to the
owners, the shareholders representing
less than A per cent. on the face value
Of the securities.
The result of Mr.. Browns investi-
cation was contained in an address
made last week by him before the
Illinois Manufacturers Association.
''In mileage the railroads of the
United States approximate 225,000
miles" said Mr.. Brown.i "They en-
ployed in 1907 in the neighborhood of
1,675,000 men, and their gross earn
ings amount to $2,5S5913,OOO, or more
than 100000 for each of the 3G5
days of the year. Figures of this
magnitude can be better comprehend
ed by comparison, and it may be stat
ed that the number of employees on
the pay rolls of American railroads
in 1907 was only about $4,000 less
than the standing armies of the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, Germany,
France and Japan combined. Their
gross earnings were three times the
total revenue of the United States
government; twenty-nine times the
total gold production of the United
States, and six times the gold pro-
duction of the world New York
Times.

PRIZE FOOD
PalatabIe, Economical, Nourishing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in few words, and that
from personal experience. Shewrites:
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, / cannot say enough in
its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods, but we invaria-
h. returned to Grape-Nuts as the
most palatable, economical and nour-
ishing of all.
When | quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,

ritable / could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
After using Grape-Nuts a short
time began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared, and now /
am a we'll woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when
all else failed.

bills, and has been, therefore, most
economical food for us"
