The Block Signals
Are Working-

In some respects, human experience
is like railroading.
Every moment of the business and
social day the block signals are giving
right of way to keenness and alertneSs
while the slow and the heavy must
wait on the sidetrack for their chance
to move forward.
The ability to "go through" and to
"get there" depends much on the Poise of
body, brain and nerves that comes with
correct diet and proper nourishment.
That's why so many choose Grape
Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served
with cream or milk it is completely
nourishing, partly Pre-digested, and it
supplies the vital mineral salts so
necessary to full nutrition.
Crape-Nuts has rich, delightful
flavor, is ready to serve on the instant
and is distinctly the food for mental
and physical alertness and speed. At
all grOcers.

NEW FEATURE
IN NAVIGATION
Lumber Wagon TOwed Across Connecti-
cut River by Boat While Spectators
Expected to See il Dive.

\ new feature in navigation on the
Connecticut was witnessed yesterday,
when light one-horSe lumber wagon was
taken across the river in tow of one of
the small boats which is in passenger
service daily.
The wagon, which was owned by man
from HinSdale, was drawn north on the
railroad track until about opposite the
back door of the Root pharmacy. There
it was fastened securely on the bank OF
the river by the use of rope wound
around telegraph pole. the shafts OF
the wagon being headed toward the river.
Harold Oakes. who conducts the pas
senger service. then rowed boat up the
river. the owner of the wagon riding
with him. The wagon was then lOosed
from its mooring and its owner held the
tow line while MIR. Oakes rowed across
the river.
To the onlOokcrs it seemed that the
weight of the ironwOrk of the wagoT
would cause it to sink and possibly pre-
cipitate one or more of the occupants o.
the boat into the river. but not so. Th'
| boat was kept moving and while the rea1
| end of the box body was nearly out o
| sight under the water the front end o
| the body was well in view the entire dis
tance and the transfer was accomplished
safely in a period of 10 minutes from
the time the wagon was started from thu
railroad bank.

all defendants or more than a small frac-

sessions at the rate of 800 a year. The
police have arrested more than 1000 pris-
oners already. About GOO have been ar

enough to keep the court of general ses-
sions holding jury trials for two years at
the present rate without trying anybody
but alleged violators of the dry laws.

tenaciously to the belief that the SLAYER.
