tells Of the hand of God In delivering
the king and queen from the gunpow-

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be no%urishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began TO grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality. the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, l suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was o many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good-his Old
friend Grape-Nuts.
" Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and l can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to our household"

we had bought a place ear the
city, both fec and labor are cheaper.
My flock comprises 200 fowls.
My reason for buying day-old chicks
is that they ave time when you be-
gin late in the spring and that first
season we had spent so much money
that We did not feel that we were able
70 buy incubators. The second spring
| bought three incubatOrs with a ca
pacity OF 400 eggs each.
AS we were not then able to build
an incubator cellar we cleared out
one of The back rooms in our dwell
ing house, closed the east windows
and put in the incubators. This proved
d successful and convenient arrange
ment. The following year We built
the cellar after plans used at college.
The brOoder houses are all on run
ners and as o o as the young chicks
10 longer need heat the covers are re-
moved and the roosts put in. SO long
as the chicks are young enough to
need heat the breeders are kept near
the house and | have planted a hedge
as a windbreak that will be an add
tiOnal protection for them.
In the spring as soon as the corn
is large enough the brOoder houses
with the first Matching of chicks are
rolled into the field and the chicks
have tree range all the summer. When
later matches come or the first hatch
is transferred to a cheaply built shack
and the brOOder house moved back
into the yard for the young chicks. or
course this can be done with the other
matches as often as it is necessary.
One Of the many good things |
learned at college was that cleaenli-
ness is as necessary for the health
and happiness of poultry as it is for
hannah beings. Resides giving my

My chickens are the white rose
comb L%eghorns. These birds are not
so large as other breeds and for that
reason do not bring as much in tho
market. but they more than make up
the difference in the number of eggs
they lay. Their meat is sweet, close
grained and unsurpassed for table
use. They are good fOragers and as
for laying ! don't believe they have
ever been surpassed.

of the offices while doing the writing.
ST think the Democratic platform de-
cidedly stronger than that of the Re
publicanS in one particular at least,
that of the ballot reform. The princi-
pie of the Australian ballot is a crude
imitation of some very ancient meth
DDS of public expression am certain
the people of Kansas do not believe
that the principal attraction at the
head of voting column as an induce
ment to vote that ticket should be a
picture. Then again, voting a straight
party ticket should not be encouraged.
Often bad men are mixed up with good
ones in party nominations and voting
in the circle often carries into office
men who would otherwise be defeated
if the voter was required to mark each
name separately for which he was
casting his ballot. A modified form of
the Massachusetts ballot law which
was adopted in the Democratic plat
form and will become a. law in case of
it's success. 1 believe is the best form
of ballot devised for political express
sion that has been put in use by any
community. Then again one of the
complaints of the primary ballot is that
no provision is made for an independ-
ent voter, and as the Democrats be-
heve that independence in voting
should be encouraged both in the pri-
mary and the election, they have ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to a
change in both the primary and the
election ballot, so that an independent
vote will be as easy to cast as that of
the party vote"

the Democratic ticket will be elected ~
Eyes. 1 believe it will. If the people
of Kansas make up their minds that
the Populist doctrine which has been
advocated by the Democrats for years
is to b. enacted into law, that they
would rather intrust the writing of
them into the statute books of the
state to the Democratic party than to
the Republican party who are such re-
cent converts to this line of political
thought"

RAILROADS FEEL COAL STRIKE.
Soon Be Necessary for All to Use
Crude Oil.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 1.-The Mis-
souri, Pacific railway is having a hard
time to manufacture enough steam
for the running of its trains. 1t has
plenty of water to go into the boilers
but scarcely enough coal to keep the
fires going under the boilers.
The difficulty arises from the coal
miners strike in the eastern part of
Kansas. This has been on for several
months and practically all of the
stored supply of coal has been con-
sumed by the Missouri Pacific. For
three months this summer the officials
of the road have been at their wits
end to buy sufficient steam coal to
keep their engines going.
The Rock Island is said to be SINH
larly affected by the shortage of steam
coal Locally many of the manufac-
turing plants have been unable to get
sufficient coal and are using oil or gas.
The local coal men say that there is
little likelihood of their getting stock
ed up with furnace or steam coal be-
fore cold weather. The strike is still
in force at the majority of the mines
in eastern Kansas while supplies are
light everywhere. The indications are
that all kinds of coal will be higher
this fall and winter. Some grades are
already $1.25 higher than at this time
last year.

AS RIDDLE SEES 1T.
Former Populist Leader Comments on
Republican Platform.

Taylor Riddle, candidate for railroad
commissioner on the Democratic tick
ct, was in Topeka today, having at
tended the party council which met
thought of the Republicans taking all
of the old time Populist platform ex-
cept the subtreasury scheme, and using
it for their platform in the campaign OF
1910.
.'Well," he said, ct don't just under
stand why they did this know that
when I was state chairman, and these
things were in our platform, some of
the Republicans who are now ardentiy
supporting them and advocating that
they be in their platform. denounced
us in unmeaSured terms as cranks,
calamity how1ers, and destroyers of
the credit of the state of Kansas, and
especially as to that part of the plat
form declaring for the recall. They
said a man would never know when he
was elected; that there would be no
tenure of office, and, although elected,
a man might be called back at any
time All these fears, however, seem
to have vanished.
Some of the editorial writer's who
became famous by outdoing their as
sociates in writing denunciatory edi-
toriaIs about the Kansas Pops and
'Calamityites' were the leaders in this
movement to put all these things into
the Republican platform of 1870
of COURSE, continued MT Rluule,
"as a man grows older in political way
fare he should become more charitable
Tt is possible that these men believed
these measures were right at the time
they were denouncing US for advocat-
ing them, but then if thev had sup
ported them at that time they wouldn't
have got the offices, and that seems to
be one of the leading principles of the
Republican partv of the present day;
Get the offices; get 'em fair if you
can, but get 'em.' 1t does make an old
time Populist feel a little weary to
think that after working for twenty
years for principles that he believed to
be for the good of the people, and for
advocatinr which he was numerically
prosecuted by the Mandarins of the
Republican party. he is to be robbed
of what glory there might be in writing
them into laws. to say nothing OF the
pleasure of enjoying the emoluments
