Word was received from the War
Department of the East at Governors
Island. New York, by the United
States recruiting station in this city,
late Wednesday afternoon, that the
station here is to be closed at once,
and the officers and men here are to
report Saturday at Fort Williams. The
feeling among the men at this station
indicates that the Second Maine Regi-
ment is to be called home. and their
place taken by these men from the
Coast Artillery, who are now recruit
ed up to an approximate strength of
800, all in the pink Of condition, as they
have been subjected to the most rigid
physical examination possible. Nothing
official has been received concerning
this, however.

Boston Sept. 27.-Complete returns
from the state primaries yesterday. s
compiled here today, showed only slight
changes in the pluralities received by
Frederick W. Mansfield for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor and by
State Auditor AlonZo B. Cook, who was
renominated in the Republican contest
over Joseph P. Brown. The missing pre-
cincts gave Mansfield a small increase
over former Adjutant General Charles
H. Cole and reduced Cooks lead, al
though the relative standing was un
changed. Mansfield S plurality was 1874
and Cooks 16.15S.
With all the precincts in, the total
figures were: Mansfield 45,530. Cole 35,-
$50. Cook 60.41o. Brown 44252
The decisive victory of Mansfield was
the surprise of the primaries. for, al
though he had confidently expected the
nomination, his most optimistic friends
had not claimed any such plurality as
he obtained. General Cole was prompt
to congratulate his opponent and to
promise him cordial support. These two
contests were the only ones for state
Offices. The vote was light but the
counting was very slow. with the re-
suit that a few precincts were in doubt
this morning.
The sharpest contest for a Congress
sional nomination developed in the six
teeneth district, where Joseph Walsh
of New Bedford, the successful candi-
date, was unable to poll a majority Of
votes over the two other Republicans
in the running.
In the seventh district there were
two candidates in each party. the win
ners being Charles n Barney of Lynn.
Republican, and Michael F. Phelan Of
Lynn, Democrat. The vote was: Bar

Meet High Cost Of Living.
Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines, Oct. 26.--From reports
on conditions made, to the dairy ana
food commission this fall, the depart
ment feels safe in stating that a
marked advance in the retail price Oh
many staple articles Of food may De
looked for The shortage In many lines
of canned foods, particularly cannea
vegetables is almost sure to be reaiizeu
by the purchaser during the winter
months.
With the increase in price or 1000
stuffs the problem of adiustinS the
demand Of the table to the purse WIZ
become more difficult unless cheaper
foods of equal nutritve value are SUD
stituted for the more expensive. we
believe a study OF the food values OF
our staple foods will aid the housewife
in conserving the family funds.
Most certainly if the food values Oh
the cereals were better understood
economy would be practiced by serving
them more freely; they are our most
economical foods.
Based on it's food value, corn in the
form of meal or hominy is the cheap
est food stuff obtainable. The whole
someness of properly prepared corn
dishes has been proven to be unques
tionable; they are very readily d.
gested When cooked in the home
breakfast dishes such as mush, hominy
corn cakes. etc. cost but one-tenth as
much as the average priced breakfas
foods.
| The increased consumption Of Iowa
banner crop, corn. IS therefore earn
estly recommended to those who would
practice economy in the selection OF
foods. 1t contains about twice as mucr
fat as any other cereal except oats
and about 72 per cent Of starch.
