A DIFFERENCE.

Improper eating told on me till my
stomach became SO weak that food
nauseated me, even the lightest and

pressed after night of uneasy slum-

This condition was discouraging,
as could find no way to improve 1t.
Then saw the advertisement Of
Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try
It, and became delighted with the re-
suit.
For the past three years I have
used Grape-Nuts and nothing else for
my breakfast and for lunch before re-
firing. 1t speedily set my stomach right
and congratulate myself that have
regafned my health. There is no great

value depends altogether on its tex

NOTHING TO SAY.
President Hermann of tho Cincis Re-
fused Comment on Tinker Deal.

Cincinnati, Ohio Dec. 2S.-'I have moth
signing of Joe Tinker and Mordecai
Brown by the Federal League" said
President August Hermann of the Gin
cinnati baseball club today. 1T is hard
to believe that these two players have
jumped organized baseball, as I said last
night. and until 1 hear something moro
definite on the matter / would not care to
say anything further"
AS chairman of the National Comnis-
sion which will have jurisdiction over
the players that break contracts or vio-
late the reserve clause, Mr.. Hermann
said:
'The consideration of these cases by
the commission Is quite way off and no
one can tell what will happen in the
meantime"
The announcement that Tinker had left
organized baseball came as a decided
shock to several of his close friends
here. While reports that he contemplat
ed going over to the Federal League had
been circulated, not word was forth
coming from Tinker respecting his let
ters to different people in this city.
President Hermann reiterated today
what he has centended for the last sew
eral weeks, that the Federal League has
not the financial backing that would ena-
BILE il to pay salaries that would COM
pare with the average salary of a player
in either of the major leagues.

new RANGE FINDER
FOR THE U. S. ARMY.
Accurate in Record of Dis
tance within 2 Per Cent
Will Greatly Facilitate
Fireing.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Upon recon-
mendation of the School of Musketry,
at Fort Sill, Okla, the army ordnance
department has adopted a new range
finder which is accurate in its record
of distance within per cent. up to
$500 yards Already so of these new de-
vices have been ordered for use by
infantry and cavalry regiments, as
we'll as a dozen larger ones for use by
the field further increased until there
is one for each company of troops. By
means of these new instruments, ord
nance officers believe that a consid-
erable increase in the effective fire Of
troops in battle will result. Experts in
the ordnance bureau point out that
it is impracticable to guess accurately
at any enemy at a distance beyond
600 yards. The tests made by the Of
ficers who recommended the adoption
of the new finders, simulated service
conditions as closely as possible at dis
tances from 900 to $500 yards for in
fantry fire and at distances from 2500
to $500 yards for field artillery fire.
The device which now becomes part
of the army equipment is a form of
telescope having two object glasses
and two side windows at each end of
they cylindrical tube, the common eye
piece being in the center The rays
from the object enter the side win
dows and are detected by prisms in
rear of the windows through the OBJ
ject glasses. Two prisms in the CEN
ter reflect the two images through
the common eye piece, one image be-
ing seen above and the other below
a horizontal line which passes through
the center of the field in view. The
images are brought into coincidence
by the revolution of one of the prisms.
The instrument being in adjustment,
the image in coincidence. the range
is read from a scale, dependent upon
the amount of revolution OF the
prisms. This range finder is manipu-
lated upon tripod and the board of
officers recommending it suggests that
one man can be detailed to carry the
instrument while another carries the
tripod and adjusting bar.

TWO TYPES OF DRINKERS.
Jack London Tells of Liquors Most
Terrible Effect.

There are; broadly speaking, two
types of drinkers. There is the man
we all know-stupid, unimaginative,
whose brain is bitten numbly by
numb maggots, who walks generously
with widespread, tentative legs falls
frequently in the gutter and who sees
in the extremity of his ecstasy blue
mice and pink elephants. He Is the
type that gives rise to the jokes in the
funny papers.
The other type of drinker has i'm
agination, vision. Even when most
pleasantly jingled he walks straight
and naturally, never staggers nor
falls, and knows just where he is and
what he is doing. 1t is not his body,
but his brain that Is drunken. He
may bubble with wit or expand with
good fellowship. Or he may see in
tellectual spectres and phantoms that
are cosmic and logical, and that take
the form of syllogisms. 1t is when
in this condition that he strips away
the husks of life's healthiest illusions
and gravely considers the iron collar
of necessity welded about the neck Of
his soul. This is the hour of John
Barleycorn's subtlest power. 1t Is easy
for any man to roll in the gutter. But
it is terrible ordeal for a man to
stand upright on his two legs un-
swaying and decide that in all the
universe there is for himself but one
freedom, namely, the anticipating Of
the day of his death.
This soul sickness, life sickness is
the penalty the imaginative man
must pay for his friendship with John
Barleycorn. The penalty paid by the
stupid man is simpler, easier. He
drinks himself into scottish unconsci-
BUSINESS. He sleeps drugged sleep
and if he dreams his dreams are dim
and inarticulate. But to the imagi-
native man John Barleycorn sends
the pitiless spectral syllogisms of the
white logic. He looks upon life and
all it's affairs with the jaundiced eye
of a pessimistic German philosopher.
He sees through all illusions. He
Ntransvalues all values. God is bad,
truth is a cheat and life is a joke
Jack London, in John Barleycorn.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
OVER CHRISTMAS RUSH.

Washington, Dec. photographic re-
ports to the post office department from
the principal offices throughout the
country showed that the Christmas
mail deliveries practically had been
completed and normal conditions re-
stoi ed in the service. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson was highly gratified at
the tenor Of the messages received. In
q statement issued Mr.. Burleson said:
The successful handling of the bulk
of mail during the holiday period fully
demonstrates the effectiveness of the
postal service in coping with not only
present conditions as they affect the
parcel post but also in it's capacity
to meet further demands as they arise
in connection with the greater devel-
opment of the service, as well as any
other which the department may be
required to perform in order to meet
the increased demands of the public.
Approximately $4,000 emergency men
were employed by the department to
work the holiday mails. The railway
mail service, usually operated by 49,
600 men, was increased to $4,000, and
the clerical force was increased from
$1,000 to $4,000.

NO WORD FROM TINKER.
Tinker's Future Status on Organized
Baseball a Question.

New York, Dec. 2s.-The Brooklyn Ma
tional League club had received no word
tonight from Joe Tinker that he has
signed a Federal League contract. Ed
ward H. McKeever, a vice president,
held a conference today with the club S
counsel. Bernard York, and it was tenta-
lively agreed that any legal action to re-
strain Tinker from playing with any
team other than Brooklyn would be de-
ferred until just before the opening OF
the season of the so-called OUTLAW or
ganization.
The Brooklyn club officials will con-
tinue to hold that Tinker is legally
member of the club and it is expected
that sooner or later the shortstop will
make known his baseball intentions in a
formal manner to the Brooklyn manage
ment.
One phase of the case of interest to
the Brooklyn club officials concerns Tin
ker's future status in organized baseball
If the courts uphold the Brooklyn teams
