Paris.-The railroad strike has COM
pletely tied up the Northern, Eastern,
Western. State and Paris. Lyons and
Mediterranean lines, and the situation
has assumed most serious aspect.
The leaders Of nearly every class Of
workingmen are threatening to call q
general Industrial strike that will par
allie business In every section of the
country.
The electricians and the employees
Of the omnibus, metropolitan and sub
way transportation lines Of this city
Wednesday considered the advisable
ity of seizing this opportunity to
launch a strike for the redress Of
long-standing grievances. The situa-
tion throughout the republic Is re-
garded as grave.
The railway companies are ma
king a desperate struggle to maintain
service with the aid of military en-
gineers and men from the navy, but
are meeting with little success.
The president Of the grain syndi-
cate said that the stock of -four on
the Paris market did not exceed 75,-
900 Quintals. which is less than eight
days supply for Paris.
This does not include the flour in
bakers hands,. which, however. is not
large. The bulk of meats, vegetables
and fruits come in over the Western
and Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
lines.
The National Railroad union, COM
prises only 100000 of the total Of
100000 men employed in the railway
service, but large majority of the
nonunion men are participating in the
strike.
The government Is adopting meas
ures similar to those practised in
time of war.
The calling of 10000 of the strikers
for army reserve duty is not likely to
have any immediate effect on the
situation, as the military code allows
man delay Of 15 days before re-
spending to the call.
The strike leaders boast that soon
the tie-up will be complete throughout
the country. Premier BRAND has is
sued public statement in which he
denounced the strike as an insurrec-
tion, purely. built up on criminal
foundations.
The garrison of Paris has been rein.

Roosevelt PIunses Into Indiana Cam.

indianapolis, Ind.-Theodore Roose-
velt plunged into the Indiana cam
paign, Thursday with trip across the
state. in which he made vigorous
plea for votes to send United States
Senator Albert j. Beveridge back to
the senate.
The last speech of the day from the
balcony of the Hotel English here was
delivered before crowd of $4,000
people.
From the time the colonel got on the
back platform of his private car at
Coyington, just across the border line
from Illinois. until he left indianapolis
he urged the throngs to elect the
whole Republican, state ticket SO that
a legislature would be put in that
would support Beveridge.
The ex-president went to the utmost
liimt in indorsing Beveridge. He gave
him credit for having initiated the
fight against the beef trust that re-
suited in the passage Of the pure ,ood
law. Without the amendments put in
that bill by Senator Beveridge, the col
onel insisted, there never would have
been any pure food legislation passed
that was worth anything.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong 1t is generally
with the food. The old Dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says:
For years could not safely eat any
breakfast. I tried various kinds Of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. l drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constituting.
A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts
instead. I shall never regret taking
his advice. l began using them three
months ago.
"The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. 1 now have no more
of the distressing sensations In my
stomach after eating, and never have
headaches. l have gained - pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
"Grape-Nuts make delicious as
we'll as nutritious dish, and l find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symptoms" !"

BouNTEous CROP OF GRAIN
Total 10 swelIed by Bumper Yield Of
Corn and oats-Wheat Also
Plentiful.

Neutrality-suspicious. figures issued
by the crop reporting board of the
department Of agriculture show that
corn and oats are bumper crops, the
former having three billion bushels
and the latter exceeding last years
billion-bushel crop by nearly 100000
900 bushels. Even the wheat crop
turns out to be only 45,000.O00 bush
els behind the big yield of 1909 and
the nations history.
The great states Of the Mississippi
Valley have rolled out fatness galore,
breaking the record for acreage and
Yield of corn and promising the coun.
try fat hogs without limit. While the
tabulated figures show that the corn
yield is trif1e below the 5000, 100000
bushel mark. this report was made up
only to October /. Since that data
even the stragglers of the 1910 corn
crop have come under the safety
line. The November report will take
note of these and will also tell the
country that many millions Of bush
els of the crop of 1909 are still on
hand. This old corn will fatten the
juveniles of the swine family that
were not In evidence previous to last
spring and summer.
The present corn crop is 2O5, 900. 900
bushels larger than that of last year
and is over 50,000.00O bushels larger
than the previous bumper crop that of
1906-which was 1927 100000 bushels.
The states south of the Ohio river and
the Missouri and Kansas lines have
raised more than round billion of
bushels of corn, something heretofore
unheard of. The south will have hog
and hominy in profusion-and a good
bunch of corn for export.
Until last year crop OF q billion
bushels of oats in America was un-
known. This year there is good,
healthy start on the second billion,
the official preliminary estimate for
1910 making the yield 1.096, 900, 900
bushels. In addition to being the larg-
est crop of oats ever grown. the quail
ity is exceptionally fine and the weight
per bushel is among the heaviest ever
recorded. There is plenty of feed for
all of the animals in need of the grain
in this country, in addition to large
quantities available for export-pro-
viding the producer here is willing to
get into competition with the worlds
markets.
The production of spring wheat, as
estimated by the crop reporting board
for 1910. was 233.475.0 900 bushels.

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
It's Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark Il as
Most Suitable Spot for Dedl.
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with q
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
Ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums Of
money as an evidence OF their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
"World's Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
such, however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
tion who can secure It's educational
advantages. this In turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel.
Ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters. New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi
ton. seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1T,500,O0C
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000
Within radius Of LOCO miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,OOO.000
Within the same radius from Sar
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average OF 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of oul
principal cities with q combined
population Of 20,OO0,Oo0. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with com
bined population Of Just 100000
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,4O7 miles.
Over rs per cent. of the people o.
the United States could go to ar
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions Of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December
Many of our readers will wish t.
