CHICAGO, March 1l.-Special Govern
ment Attorney Sheean today opened
tho Government reply to the demand
OF the attorneys for the packers that
the case be summarily disposed of by a
directed verdict of the jury.

been proved that every count in the
Indictment had been sustained by evil
dence submitted by the Government
and cited long line of decisions sup
porting his contention.
Sheean's argument, it was expected,
would consume most of the day. He
was to be followed by Attorney Pierce

CALLS ON TAFT
FOR VIEWS ON
PRIMARY TEST
Dixon Puts Question Up to
Presidents Campaign
Manager.
CONTINUED from First Pase1

from flrSt Iape,)
next move in the game, according to
the rules, and Mr.. Mckinley insists
that II must be played according to
the rules, is for President Taft to
write letter and stand by his manager
in refusing primaries
Must Answer In Person.
That, of course. is a trihe difficult
for Mr.. Taft to do. 1t would not help
him observably. Yet the Taft managers
have permitted themselves to be maneu-
vered into a position where 1t IL ncces-
sary for Mr.. Taft in person TO refuse
the primary experiment, or else repu-
diatc his manager!
All this Is really by-play; the man
ayers methods of keeping UP a proper
trout. Under the surface. the Roose-
welt people are fighting as hard as they
can for the primary measures in Mary
land and Massa chusetts, while the Taft
people are opposing them just rs earn
estly. The Roosevelt people seem to
have won in Chicago, where Judge
Owen has directed a primary express
sion OF Presidential preference in con-
neCtion With the general primary in
April. This is arranged for under the
understood to plan an injunction pro-
ceeding. IL 1t is possible, to prevent a
primary.
Chicago Republicans, who want TO
win In their local contests, hope that
the Taft folks will not muss up matters
I'm this way, and Indications are that
Taft will be hopelessly swamped in both
Cook county and the State at large.
This was the report brought by Gif-
ford Pinchot, who dropped into Roose-
welt headquarters after campaigning ex-
periences in North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Illinois. He said the Roosevelt
ticket would carry North Dakota by a
good ajority, with La Toilette second,
and Taft very bad third, indicating
that the State is so strongly progressive
that the other side can hardly make Il
decent showing.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor a
large one) goes wrong. nothing is SO
important as the selection of food to
bring it around again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia. then came brain
fever. and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions,' says Colo
RADIO mother.
~ decided a change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some
and for few days just gave him the
Juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger SO quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in wonderfully short time he fatten-
ed right up and became strong and
we'll.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and when later on my little
girl came, raised her on Grape
Nuts and she is strong, healthy baby
and has been. You will see from the
little photograph I send you what a
strong, chubby youngster The boy is
now. but he didn't look anything like
that before we found this nourishing
food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back
to strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to more

trict streets well lighted with cleo
tricity.
Ennnnmx is Practiced

The buildings in the Chicago dis
trict, which are of pressed brick and
concrete, are erected by contract after
competitive bidding, and railroad
tracks are put in for each building be-
fore construction starts. Thus it will
be seen that the development OF the
district was done and is being further
ed along economical lines. The dis
trict Is served by railroad, which has
an inner belt line connecting directly
with every railway line in Chicago. A
freight station can accommodate 125
cars at time, insuring rapid handling
of the product of the district.
Telephone, telegraph and mail SER
vice in the district have been well
provided for, and all other necessaries
to make the place one of especial at
Effectiveness as manufacturing cen
ter, have been looked after. Banking
facilities are provided and first
class fire equipment Is maintained
The trustees of the Chicago district
accept as tenants only concerns of
good character and responsibility,
which has a tendency to permanency
and conservatism. The trustees of
the district constructs buildings for
prospective tenants under definite
leases or contracts Three forms of
contract with tenants are in use.
Briefly, they are as follows:
Cf$ae
First-renant purchases a site for
cash, or on easy terms, erecting his
own buildings. All buyers must con-
tract to erect suitable building with
in a specified time.
Second-The tenant contracts to
purchase land and buildings which the
district will erect Where it is so de-
sired, the trustees OF the district will
accept a moderate cash payment and
carry the balance in annual payments
spread over a number of years, at
reasonable interest rates upon de-
ferred payments. This form has prov
en- a very popular one, as 1t enables
tenants to acquire additional property
and increase their business without
taking too much cash from their work
ing capital.
Third-The third form of contract
is what is called a Long Term Lease"
Under this form, the district will
erect proper buildings, where a con-
tract lease is drawn for period of
twenty-five years. The rental is Ave
per cent on the agreed valuation of
the ground, plus eight per cent Of the
amount invested by the trustees. In
all the three contracts referred to
above, the tenant pays taxes and in
surance
