HOW MANY OF US
Fall to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward off AlIments2

A KY. lady, speaking about food,
SAYS: 81 was accustomed to eating
all kinds Of ordinary food until, for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
after l had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with
good quantity Of rich cream.
'In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and
began to have a strength that had
never been possessed Of before,
vigor Of body and poise OF mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new In
my experience.
my former attacks Of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells Of dizziness,
rush Of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in guam
tity, then l would be warned by q
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless l needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
turbance left very quickly.
Il am now in prime health as a
result Of my use OF Grape-Nuts." Name

EnqIand Won't Enter.

London, Eng.-It is stated in well
informed circles that the reason why
Great Britain has not accepted yet the
invitation to participate in the Pana-
ma-Pacific exposition lies in the fail
ure of the United States to settle the
question of the Panama canal tolls.
Should the United States favor Amer
lean shipping, it is said to be most
likely that Great Britain will decline
officially to participate.

WIRELESS MAN
HEROLIKEBINNS

NEW YORK, April ia hero of the
~high-seas no less deserving of the
plaudits of humanity than Jack Binns,
of Republic fame, or Operator Phillips,
of the Titantic, who forced his assist
ant to man one of the lifeboats and
make his escape, arrived on the Car
pathia.
He is F. L. Main. the Marconi Wire

IS. o. s" signal, her filled the air
with blue flame until he placed he
vessels location, then flashed the world
the news of the terrible disaster.
While the Carpathia was speeding to
the rescue, Main sat at his Instrument
cracking out the plight and position
of the Titanic to be recorded on the
detectors of the Virginian, Of the Bal
tic. the Olympic, the Partisan and II
dozen other vessels Within wireless
radius of his instrument.
When all the lifeboats had been
picked up and their occupants safely
put aboard his ship, before taking any
rest. Main again bridled the aerial
waves with messages to onrushing
steamers telling them that all posi-
BILE had been done and that they could
not reach the scene in time to be of
assistance.
The Carpathia headed about and
under steam toward New York,
Main found himself flooded with mes
sages of inquiry, for the news of the
appalling wreck had by this time
reached the ends of the earth. This
task was endless. He could not hope
to answer all messages. s
After flashing assurances that John
Jacob Astor, Isador Straus, Major Butt
and other of equal prominence were
not aboard he began the work of
transmitting all the names of survivors
aboard the Carpathia. These names
were brought TO him from below as
fast as the survivors could be identi-
fed. They totaled 491.
When he had reached the names of
the steerage passengers there came

hours Main was able. by almost super

to the more urgent calls of families

NEW YORK, April 19.-Robert Will
liams, a banker of Philadelphia, who
was on deck "a" and understands wire
the ship as a pastime in assisting
Phillips, who sent out the IS. o.. s."
said:
1.-THE Titanic was running at twenty
five knots. This speed was entirely too
high. An hour and a half before the
accident the officers on the bridge had
been notified that there were icebergs
on the direct route through which the
Titanic would pass. This warning was
given by wireless messages from
steamships which had passed through
the ice or had secuted 1t.
when the collision occurred there
was not a chance. There was no warn
ing by anyone on duty at the time that
the iceberg was there. The shock sur
prised everybody, but did not startle
them. There was no panic at that
time. The officers and seamep went
through the ship calmly notifying the
passengers that there had been a slight
accident, but there was not the slight
est danger. Captain Smith was on the
bridge with his officers and calmly sent
Out OTQtTS Trough Ills SuDOIulildlGS a.
to what should be done to maintain
discipline on the steamer.
1.-THE vessel began to sink slowly at
the bow. An investigation made by
the ships carpenter showed that the
Titanic had been ripped on the star
board side practically from stem to
stern and hat the water was pouring
into every compartment.
HTha0- If was annaronf 10 ant
Smith, the officers and passengers that
the vessel was doomed.
AFTER the collision, when we were
assured that there was no danger what
aver of the vessel sinking. l went to
my room on top deck and lay down to
go to sleep. l had retired before the
collision. While there one of the ships
company went into my Dom n said
I had better put on a life belt.
81 said: What for and he replied,
you had better put it on for safety.
Although we believe the vessel is safe,
it Is best for you to take precautions
and to prepare for any emergency. I
went out on the deck in my b~athrobe,
wearing the life belt, and looked over
the situation and l saw that the boat
was sinking. Slowly the lights began
to go out, one by one in various parts

NEW YORK, April 19.-As the Good
Samaritan ship Carpathia erept slowly
and silently down the coast of Rhode
Island with her funereal cargo of agon-
lied human beings, greater throngs
than at any time since the Titanic
disaster choked lower Broadway in the
vicinity Of the offices of the White Star
Line all during the day and far into
the night.
Early in the day it became known
that the Carpathia was steaming INTO
port a veritable hospital ship; last night
the fearful. hysterical hundreds pre-
nared TO greet her as the hearse OF
the high seas, for wireless messages
from her commander intinated that
many lac died on board.
This news had a thousand times
more painful effect on the sorroWing
relatives and friends of those who sur
vived than the absence of names from
the list of saved had on the lear ones
of the first ead
Inside the offices of the White Stal
Line the scene was II of lndescrln-
able despair. The clerks, hidden by
their superiors to divulge only the
bald testimony contained in the intelli-
gence of the dead and survived, in an
swer to all queries pointed sorrowfully
TO the lists.
A bleak and drizzling rain had no
effect on the crowds. Rain-soaked
men and women, many of them at the
point of collapse from exposure, stood
transixed in front of the bulletin
boards.

EXPLOSION SAVES
LIFE OF OFFICER

NEW YORK, April 19.-Standing
bravely on the poop deck of the Ii
tanic until he was almost submerged
the second officer had made up his
mind to go down with the ship, but as
IL a miracle had occurred his evidently
charmed life was saved.
The water had almost reached his
neck when a terrific explosion occurred
and he was hurled clear of the ship,
landing in the water a few feet from
one of the lifeboats which was by no
means overladen. He vas rescued by
his boat.
Miss Elizabeth Nye, connected with
the Salvation Army Industrial Home,
Fourteenth street, New York, was re-
sponsible for this statement. Miss
N1e had beer to England on a vaca-
ton. She was in the last lifeboat that
left the sinking ship, and told a Star
reporter the following story:
The lifeboat in which I was placed
was the last to leave the Titanic. The
ship was then sinking and l saw the
SetOilu OlllCeT SldUull6 On Tic pOJp
deck. He remained there until almost
under water. A few seconds later
there was a terrific explosion, which I
think was one of the boilers. The Sec
ond officer was then seen flying through
the air. He landed in the water a few
feet from our lifeboat, Our boat was
pulled towards him and he was saved.
AS our boat pulled away from the
sinking ship I saw a young husband
and wife, with a 10-months-old baby,
standing on the deck. The wife re-
fused to leave her husband, despite his
earnest e%ntreaties. Frantically the
man grabbed the baby and threw 1t
10 our lifeboat. A woman Storage
passenger caught the child
When the C%arpathia landed a party
appeared at the pier inquiring for a
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen. They We're in
formed that the couple had gone down
with the ship, but one of the men in
the inquiring party saw a woman car
rying a baby which he recognized as
that of the Aliens. He established the
identity and was given the baby, which
is the one Miss Nye saw thrown from
the SHIP by its father.

BODIES LEFT IN BOAT
PICKED UP BY CARPATHIA.

NEW YORK, April 19.-George
Rheims, of All Fifth avenue, New York,
was on the Titanic with his brother-in-
law, R.. Joseph Holland Loring, of Lon
don. He said no one seemed to know
for twenty minutes after the boat
struck that anything had happened.
Many of the passengers stood around
for an hour with their life-belts on, he
said. and l saw people getting in the
boats.
When all the boats had gone, he
added, he shook hands with his broth
~er-in-law, who would not jump, and
leaped over the side of the boat.
He swan for a quarter of an hour,
reached a boat and climbed in. He
found the boat, with eighteen occu-'
pants, half under water. The people
were in, water up to their knees.
Seven of them, he said, died during
the night, only those standing remain
ing alive. After six hours in the cold
water the situation became very crit
ical because the boat was sinking.
Four bodies were left in the boat
when it was picked up by the Car
pathia, he said.
