1t is announced by the geological
survey that the discovery of phosphate
rock in Montana is likely to have an
important effect In providing an out
let for the sulphuric acid that might
be manufactured by the big smelters
there, but which is now allowed to go
to waste and p~oisons the range within
a radius of thirty miles from the
smelter works. The withdrawal OF
the phosphate lands from homestead
entry was announced some weeks ago
after the fields were reported by Hoyt
Dale, one of the field biologists. These
deposits are extensive and are con
sidered Of great potential value. The
shelter trouble with the production
OF sulphuric acid fumes has been In
y~estigated by the bureau OF animal in
dustry Of the department of agricul-
cure. There have been a number OF
suits against the smelters, but they
have allowed the acid fumes to go to
waste for lack of some profitable way
to employ them. With the comblna'

BIG Devils TOWER
Rock Is One of Uncle Sans Ma
tional Monuments.
Gigantic Stone Rises Upward 1850
Feet From the Level Plain and
is a Landmark Visible for
Many Miles.

Denver, CoIo.-Under the act fol
the preservation OF American an
tiquities" the United States govern
ment has become custodian OF many
remarkable attractions, which have
been grouped under the head OF ma
tional monuments, and none of these
is more wonderful than the little
known DEVILS Tower, In northern
Wyoming.
The Devils Tower is a gigantic
rock, 1850 feet high, rising sheer from
the level plain. No doubt 1t Is the
product of long ages OF wind and wa
ter erosion. It can be seen for hum
dreds of miles on all sides, as 1t Is In
a plains country. The rock would be
remarkable even If 1t were in a bro
ken and rugged country, but rising as
1t does from the open prairie, and
standing like a lone sentinel amid the
vast and silent plains, its weird ef'
feet Is intellectually heightened.
The Sioux, Cheyennes and Crows,
who made the country surrounding
the Devils Tower, their hunting
ground In early days, have many leg
ends about this strange rock. In
later years, when the venturesome
white men began to push across the
northern plains, they utilized the
Devils Tower as a guide post. The
landmark, looming up on the prairie
served to enlighten many an emf
grant as to his whereabouts.
Under the act OF 1906, giving tht
government the right to set aside al
such natural curiosities for the bene
fit of the people, the Devils Towe
was one of the first national monu
ments created. The DEVILS Towe
monument consists Of about. LOO
acres, and preserves for all time thi
landmark. The tower is in charge o
the nearest general land office, whicl
is at Cheyenne. Probably 1t will b.

m~inistrations Of the servant.
1t was the third morning succeeding
that on which he had risen from his

He acted upon 1t without thought Of

FOOD AGAIN
A Mighty important Subject to Every
One,

A Boston lady talks en~tertainingly
of food and the changes that can be
made in health by some knowledge on
that line. She says:
"An injury to my spine in early wom-
anhood left me subject to sever sick
headaches which would last three or
four days at a time, and a violent
course of drugging brought on consti-
patton with all the ills that follow.
my appetite was always light and
uncertain and many kinds Of food dis
tressed me.
Il began to eat Grape-Nuts food two
or three years ago, because l liked the
taste of 1t, and / kept on because I
soon found 1t was doing me good.
Il eat 1t regularly at breakfast, FREE
quently at luncheon, and again before
going to bed-and have no trouble in
sleeping on It, 1t has relieved my con-
stipation, my headaches have practi-
cally ceased, and I am in better physi-
,al condition at the age of SO than !
was at 40.
Il give GrapesNuts credit for restor-
ing my health, II not saving my life.

their demands for a tonga to bear
them to Kuttarpur, and observed that
the mail tonga left ono a day-at
three in the afternoon. Doggott
caught him as he was on the point of
returning to his interrupted repose
and called his attention to the un-
wisdom Of his ways.
Apparently convinced, this ticket
agent announced his intention of en-
d~eavoring to find a tonga for the
sahib. Besides, he was not unwilling
to acquire rupees. He scowled
thoughtfully at Amber, f~erociously at
Doggott, vent back into the station,
gossipped casually with the telegraph
sounder for a quarter of an hour, and
finally reappearing, without a word or
a nod left the platform for the road
and walked and walked and walked
and walked.
An hour passed as three. The heat
became terrific; not a breath of wind
stirred. The face OF the world lost
its contours in wavering mirage.

and solicited rupees. He got them

which was not received with civility
by the driver.
