We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York. Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind.
who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts and
that part of the starchy part Of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar. the
kind of sugar produced in the human body BY
digesting starch (the large part of food).
Some Of the State chemists brought on BY
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called "predigested" food because not all Of
1t was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as 'predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of word.
It is sufficient that II only one-half Of the
food is "predigested." 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested.

National Apple Congress.

Denver.-The First American Ap-
pie Congress adjourned, fully organ
ized and thoroughly equipped for
lasting career as a national institu-
.tion. A constitution was adopted and
officers were chosen for the coming
year. The next convention city was
not chosen, this being left in the
hands of an executive committee.
Former Gov. l.. Bradford Prince Of
New Mexico was unanimously chosen
president. Two other candidates
were placed In nomination, but upon
motion that Colorado should be given
the privilege of naming the next presi.
cent, the Colorado delegation held a
caucus, reporting the name of the ex-
governor Of New Mexico as their
choice. His election was then de-
clared. For the office Of secretary
there was no opposition. Clinton l..
Oliver, who acted as temporary Sec
retary, and upon whom devolved
large portion of the work Of creating
the first congress, was rewarded with
that office unanimously. E. H. Shep-
ard, editor of Better Fruit" was
elected treasurer. Each state delega-
ton was allowed to choose vice
president. For the five states repre-
sented by delegates in person the fol-
Loving vice presidents were named:

Brigadier General Walter Howe,
United States army, who recently was
in command of the department of the
East in the temporary absence of Ma
jor General Leonard Wood, has served
in the artillery forces for forty-slx
years. General Howe is soon to re-
tire from the service under the age
limit law. He is one OF the few sur
viyors of the officers Of the United
States army who took part in the cam
paign years ago against Captain Jack
and his fellow braves Of the Modoc
tribe in the far Northwest. s.I
/ It was during the campaign against
the Modocs that artillery was used by
the white soldiers as a weapon Of
offense against Indians who had taken
the warpath. At that time General
Howe was second lieutenant serving
with a light battery of the Fourth
Artillery. Captain Jack and Scar
Faced Charlie, Modoc chiefs, and their
following resented the attempt which
was made to get them to leave land on
which their tribe had dwelt for years.
Peace commissioners were sent to
treat with the Indians, one Of the
members OF the commission being Gen
eral Candy. Captain Jack asked for
parley with the commission and the
request was granted. AS soon as Gen
eral Candy and his fellow commission
members met the Indians Jack and his
following opened fire and killed every
member of the peace party. The
Modocs then took to the lava beds of
the Northwest and 1t was found to be
impossible to dislodge them by means

only few years after he was grad

came the practice to attach light bat

Thirst SOCIALIST MAYOR Of AN[]EIQ(A

observed that the Socialist Legislators
worked for their interests, and the re.
suit was tendency on the part OF
organized labor to support Seidel in
preference to either of the old par
ties.
Until the close Of Mayor seidel's
term he will be one Of the most inter
esting figures in public life. He is a
business man of good standing, is sec
rotary and treasurer of the Milwaukee
Pattern Manufacturing Company and
since 1908 has been alderman-at-large.
He is a little man, not much over five
feet in height. and is slight of build
He has a high forehead, big nose,
and a strong, firm mouth. His eyes,
which are blue, are keen and snappy.
They suggest his manner, which is
nervous and active. A mop of light
yellow hair is tossed over his head.
His brows are slightly bent, the reason
for which may be suggested in the fact
that he wears glasses.
He is native of Pennsylvania and
has been a resident of Wisconsin since
babyhood At the age of 10 he learned
the trade of furniture carving. His
recreation, even at that age, was the
study of astronomy, and his evenings
were passed at the public library. His
father, railroad bridge builder. sent
him to Germany for. his health in
li1SS6, where he remained abroad for
six years. When he returned in 1892
he Joined the Social Democratic party,
in which he has ever since been ac-
tive.

Opera Houxe Which He Built Never
Used and Now to BE Raxed.
The recent purchase by Sioux City
parties of the Royce Grand Opera
House at Sheldon. Will mark the
passage into Oblivion of one of the
biggest follies ever perpetrated in
northwest Iowa. The building, which
cost nearly 100000, was built a num-
her of years ago by, an eccentric old
man as a sort of monument to himself
and combines 80 many varied styles
of architecture and workmanship that
1t is unique. He was known as man
that seldom finished anything he COM
menced and was OF such a variable
temperament that he was not able to
keep a set OF workmen more than a
month or two at time. Some OF the
work on the building was artistic and
other parts displayed so much of a
::botch" that the building was never
used, never rented and never brought
q dollar income to the eccentric but
wealthy builder and owner. Before a
dedication Of the new opera house
could be held the building sank and
was condemned and considered unsafe
by the city authorities. 1t would cost
over SITS, OoOlto duplicate the building
today and 1t went in trade and will
be RACED. The foundations are built
of Sioux Falls granite and it con-
tains two whole trainloads Of lumber.
There are over $4,000 worth of plate
glass windows in the building and the
stage furnishings, opera chairs and in
terror decorations are the best money
could buy. The storerooms, which
have always remained vacant in the
structure, are as fine as were ever
finished In the state, and the entire
building, If 1t had been properly con-
structed. would do credit to any large
city as a fine business block. The
traits and the mice and cobwebs, dust
and other debris and filth have occu-
pied the property for ,everal years.

number of reforms along Socialistic
lines, and both In and out of the city
the experiments will be followed with
keen interest. u "a
One thing which friend and foe
alike must recognize is that the So

growth Of steady growth and the re-
suit of constant propaganda. For d
dozen or more years the Socialists
have been active in Milwaukee and

1898 the Socialist vote was 2,414, and
four years later was over 5000. In
1904 the Socialists polled $4,000, in
1908, 10000. and the present year III
S622. Thus slowly and by degrees the
Socialists have been growing in
strength. A prominent factor in the
Socialist victory was the fact that the
party had Representatives in the State
Legislature, and that the work done
by these legislators in the interest of
organized labor had won the conf
