RICE AND RAISiNS AIDS TO
HEALTH,

Rice should be considered as food
for its energy value and as a substi-
tute for other foods. In search of
food for impaired digestion as for the
we'll we have made the mistake in
eating the polished rice. 1t has APP
parently been the fashion, if such can
be said of foods. to have the dull out
er covering of the kernei removed.
This is rich in nitrogen and mineral
salts and high flavor.
Tha- dreadful disease, beri-beri,
which has been prevalent among rice
eating people recently, was nothing
less than mineral starvation with the
life sustaining elements polished from
the grain. From this years crop, we
have been assured by dealers, we
shall be able 10 secure the brown
head rice which has nothing taken
from it. 1t is clean, easy to prepare
! easy of digestion. leaving a healthy
| longing appetite which we had as chill
dren. but which most of us have lost
| somewhere in our busy life.
Many persons rarely experience ir
| adult life the sensation of hunger;
others are afflicted with a constant
| tired feeling. It. should occur to sucf
| that their food is not properly diges;
ed or assimilated. Rice digests readily
and leaves the stomach free to res
| before taking food at the next meal.
Raisins Natural Swee%.
Raisins are a natural sweet which
properly belong with the rice as per
feet energizer and there are very few
who eat the delicious raisins WHIT

where they come from. They are yer

CLOUD OF STRIFE
HAS PASSED OFF
Burlington Railroad Will Arbi-
trate Differences Over
Rules With Men.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 2S.-There will be
no strike on the part of the trainmen
employed by the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroads, according TO
Judge W. L. Chambers, United States
commissioner of mediation, who an
nounced from his apartments at the
Congress hotel late yesterday that the
question of wages and working condi-
lions would be submitted to a board
of arbitration, thus preventing a gen.
eral strike of railroad trainmen
throughout the country.
The disagreement between the rail-
road officials and the members of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors
and of the Order of Railroad Train
men employed by the Burlington arose
over general revision of the rules of
the company regarding wages and
working conditions.
THE rules of the company" said
Judge Chambers IN reviewing the case,
were made in September, 1902, and
we're revised in 1903. 1907 and again in
1910. Since that date the trainmen
have demanded a complete revision of
/ the rules regarding working condi-
tons, and finding that nothing could
/ be accomplished by the local union
the national officials we're called on.
"A F. Whitney, vice president of
the Order of Railroad Trainmen, and
W. c. Turner, vice president of the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Conductors,
presented to me in request for medi
alton under the Newlands act a brief
asking for the general revision, cover
ing ninety-seven propositions.
The company had considered this
demand and fifty-nine of the PROPOSE
tons were disposed of, leaving thirty
eight unsettled at the time ! arrived
in Chicago last Thursday"
Il have men with the railroad Off
Gals. represented by First Vice Presi
dent H. E. Byrams, General Manager
E. P. Brackens and P H. Morrissey
assistant TO the president, and the rep
Tesentatives of the trainmen, holding
two and three sessions daily. The OF
fcials of the railroads were willing t
arbitrate twenty-three of the thirty
eight disputed proposals, leaving fiji
teen that seemed impossible to agre
upon until late this evening, when bot
l sides conceded sufficient points t
, agree upon an arbitration of the entir
> trouble.
G The arbitration will be held in tn
i Federal building, with Judge E. S
g Huston of Washington acting as arb
: ter. There will be six arbitrator, tw
from the railroad company, two fror
f the trainmen and two from disinte
y ested lines of industry. The hearin
s will be about Sept. 90.
e There will be no strike on the Blu
