ST. Louis. Mo-, May 4.-Excessive
profit taking by middlemen was tho
reason assigned for high food stuffs by
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the Fris-
co System, in an address which he
made this afternoon before the Ma
tional Convention of the Farmers Ed
ucation and Cooperative Union, now
in conference in this city. He deelar-
ed that the heavy reductions in
freight rates of the past few years
had been absorbed by the dealers and
not shared in by the farmers or CON
sumers. Better marketing methods
were advanced as a means by which
farmers would get better prices for
the food they raise and at the same
time lower figures would be given to
those who buy the stuff for use in the
kitchen. This railroad man deserib-
ed the demagogic politician as a dis
tributing and expensive middle agent
and urged that he be cut out in the
dealings which the railroads and the
farmers should have with each other,
The most important force for the
welfare of the nation will come when
the land owners OF America are organ
lied, said Mr. Yoakum. This or
ganization is important not only for
the benefits which will come to the
farmers but on account of money
which will be saved by the consumers.

souri, and Louisiana are begging for
money for reclamation by drainage
but the politicians at Washington are
not disposed to heed their appeals

Nearly all we hear from Washing
ton is about military exploitations
and unimportant political controyer-
sizes. There is no word of encourage
ment for the development of the coun-
try's resources. If we had men in
public life who would take the same
interest in working out these ques-
tions on a practical common sense
basis leaving off their TRADES against
the railroads, their services would be
of greater advantage to the farmers
and consumers. The kind of politics
which has been preached to the farm
ers for twenty years has kept the
farmers from advancing their inter-
ests and keeping pace with those who
are organized. To arrive at the high
business standard to which the farm
ers are destined. their business, like
others, must be conducted in the most
economical manner.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR HOLD
TRIENNIAL in CHICAGO
Great Conclave Presided Over by Acting Grand
Master Melish-- Wonderful Parade Through
deliberately Decorated Streets Is the
Most Spectacular Feature.

Chicago-Marching to the music OF
forty-two bands and the almost equal
ly melodious cheers of hundreds OF
thousands of their relatives, friends
and admirers, some $4,000 Knights
Templar took part August 8 in the
greatest parade ever held by the or
der. Their waving plumes and fine
uniforms were fittingly set off by the
beautiful decorations of the streets and
buildings, and the scene was one that
will not soon be forgotten by those
who were fortunate enough to witness
1t.
This magnificent parade was the
climax, in a spectacular way, of the
thirty-first triennial conclave OF
Knights Templar, which opened here
on Sunday, Aug. 7. In accordance
with the time honored custom of the
grand encampment, the doings of the
week began with divine service.

People can live in temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance OF
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount OF butter, and one
cup OF well-made Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is very marked difference
in the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment In food,
and its application to the human body,
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

One of the most prodigious and perhaps the
most formidable OF sharks is the "manoater" Gar
charodon carcharias). 1t roams through all tenn

object of dread. Its maximum length is 40 feet
and it's teeth are inches long While there are

The largest of all fishes. the largest of all cold
blooded animals, and the largest of all existing ami
mails, with the exception of few species of whales,
is the whale shark (Rhineodon typcus). originally
described from Cape Of Good Hope, but now known
from India, Japan, South America, Panama, Cali
fornia and various other places, small specimen
having been obtained the Florida coast few
years ago. This shark has very broad and OBJ

with numerous minute teeth the darkcolored body
is marked with many small whitish spots. The spe
cies is stated to attain length of 20 feet and Is
known to exceed so feet Notwithstanding it's i'm

Our knowledge of these fishes is due to no ac

whence they are picked up or drift ashore. Nearly
all the specimens known have been found dead

Parade Of The knights.
The grand parade" of Tuesday was
the largest parade Of Knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most deliberately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south of Thirty-first
street, and signal to move was given
by the guns of Battery B, |. N. G., the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members Of the battery.

Hubbard court beneath an entrance
arch built In the form OF an ancient
battlement with its towers and tur-
rets. This was intended to represent
the entrance to the city, and as the
column passed under 1t, buglers sta
toned on its heights heralded the ap-
proach of each grand division.
Next the knights came abreast OF
the first grand stand, one-half mile In
length. and this needed no decora-
tons. for II was filled to its capacity
mainly with ladies whose beautiful
aummer costumes made It like vast
garden. About $4,000 persons were in
this immense stand, as at its center
was a gorgeous throne on which sat

cent death of Grand Master Henry w.

Moving south to Jackson boulevard,
the knights again turned west, and
near the federal building passed be-
fore yet another reviewing stand
which accommodated Governor Deneen
and his staff. Marching north on La

meath the grand commandery arch of
pure white which spanned the street
at the La Sale hotel, the headquarters
OF the grand commandery of Illinois.
This was a beautiful structure de-
signed by one of Chicago's most ia
nous sculptors. Upon its top stood
the figures of mounted knights four
teen feet high. At the new city hail
on Washington street the parade was
dismissed. after marching forty-three
blocks.
Care For the Marchers.
Everything that could be thought
of for the comfort of the paraders and
the spectators was done by the local
committees. In nearly every block
along the line of march were station
ed physicians who were also knights
templar, with trained nurses and
equipment for emergency cases. In
addition, emergency hospitals to be
kept open day and night during the
conclave were established at many
points In the center of the city, and
at the West Side ball park which was
selected as the place for the competi-
tive drills.
Wednesday and Thursday were the
days set apart for the drills for which
handsome trophies are awarded, and
band concerts, sight seeing and many
receptions were on the program.

was especially beautiful, for all the
