OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD
Combined Efforts on National Tuber-
cuIosls Sunday VIII Have
Excellent ReeuIts.


New York city had more arrests for
violation Of the anti-spitting ordinance
in 1909 than any other city in the
United States, having had 2,513, with
2.099 convictions, and $1.936.s0 col
lected in fines. Baltimore comes next
with 214 arrests and an equal num-
ber OF convictions. Pittsburg is third
in rank, with st. Louis in fourth place.
st. Louis, however, would have been
in second place, II the sanitary police
who enforce the law In that city had
been at work In 1909. In So cities out
OF 80 the law was either not enforced
at all or very poorly enforced. Of
the remaining 2S cities, less than one
half of them contributed more than
threefourths of the arrests for spit
ting and of the fines collected. On ac-
count OF the fact that National Tuber-
culosis Sunday will be observed on
April "a, the National Association for
the Study and Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis Is calling the attention of clergy
men In all parts of the country to the
advisability of bringing before their
congregation the necessity for better
enforcement Of the anti-spitting laws.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save
baby proves itself to be nourishing 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, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with
little sugar and warm milk This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed Sec
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not 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 mischief
maker as thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
Eve 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 can never praise
iGrape-Nuts enough after the bright
( ness It has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for baby
food, but experience with thousands OF
babies shows 1t to be among the best.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito-
ba. dated March 1s, 1910 says: That
Germany ia anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports OF that cereal" The recent ad-
justment OF the trade relations with
Germany has made 1t possible to carry
on Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
Of trade between the two Countries
Is now certain. The great men Of
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there Is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With It's present &c.,
100000 bushel production Of wheat
and all efforts to increase 1t almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of its increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatfields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year one
eighth as much as the entire produc.
ton of the United States, and but a
twelfth of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit Of the demand for Canadi.
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country. and from land that the Gov
ernment gives away in 100 acre
blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota says:
Last fall got over 30 bushels of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
1t; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which I had fax Of which got almost
20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres
in oats and got 70 bushels per acre
and 500 bushels potatoes on one and
three quarter acre, and can therefore
safely say that I had fine crop and
am well satisfied with my homestead"
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others, hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly
greater. The story of the experience
of American farmers in the Canadian
West is long one. The time to go,
would appear to be now, when splen.
did selections may be made, and
where land can be purchased at prices
that will be doubled in couple OF

Good Law That Should Be Enforced.
Anti-spitting ordinances, laws and
regulations in more than five-eighths

alleges the National Association for
the Study of tuberculosis in recent
report. While most of the larger cities
of the United States have such laws
on their books, in the great majority
of cases they are ignored or over
looked. The report covers in detail
the enforcement of the anti-spitting
ordinances in 80 of the largest cities
In the country. During the year 1909
in these so cities, 3,421 arrests were
made for violation of the laws regard.
Ing splitting in public places. Over
1900 convictions were secured and

Queer Attribute of Salmon.

Only about 20 per cent. of salmon
spawn before they return up the river
from the sea, and those that do return
after spawning are coarse, and, when
cut up, white in the flesh; in fact, are
known as bull trout, for so-called
bull trout" are not different kind
of fish, but are plainly salmon which
have spawned.

Nav York and the Surf.

Few New Workers ever stop to think
that one Of that city's chief attractions
is the surf. Philadelphians must go
ffty-six miles TO the ocean. Though
the folk of Baltimore and Washington
live on tldewater, they must travel for
surf bathing to the capes. Boston Is
the only other large town on the At
lantic seaboard besides New York that
has the ocean at Its back door. San
Francisco and Los Angeles are the
only Pacific coast cities within trolley
ride Of ocean beach. None OF the Mex
lean gulf cities can be compared to
New York as q seaside resort and as
to New Orleans, another Mecca OF the
pleasure seekers, that lies more than
100 miles above the mouth OF the Mis-
sisslppi But. including Coney Island
and Rockaway, a good many miles OF
Greater New York are bounded by the
ocean. This fact. just to consider the
money making side Of it, means an

centers, such as London, Paris and
Berlin, do not enjoy.-Argonaut

struck the rocks he was in his usual
