Secular News
In Spain there is a serious aspect of
trouble. One day last week, Professor
Ferrer, a noted educator of Barcelona,
was shot by the military, for participation
in the recent outbreaks at that city.
The people have taken up the matter
very gravely. Several demonstrations of
disapproval have been made, and in one
of them, the king of Spain was hung in
effigy.
Railroads in China: American and Rrit
ish capitalists have about completed arrangements
with the Chinese government
to build a road from Chin Chow Fu
through Mongolian territory, to Tsitsihar.
a distance of about 400 ruiles. Japan has
given China notice that, while it does
not intend to obstruct China, it will
maintain its right under the two treaties
concluded last month, to be consulted
with respect to Manchurian railways.
Tax Valuations in Chicago: A petition
has been presented in court to require
a new assessment of property reported
by various citizens of Chicago for the
ten years just past. The assertion is
that these men have omitted from their
tax lists a good deal of property that
should have been listed, and that if listed,
the income of the city would be increased
by $80,000,000. Among the men named in
the petition are: J. Ogden Armour, $37,750,000;
Samuel McRoberts, $3,100,000;
Louis F. Swift, $7,200,000; Edward F.
Swift, $5,000,000; Edward Morris, $35,500,000;
Ira N. Morris, $10,000,000; Edward
Tilden $5,000,000; Richard W. Sears,
$22,000,000;. Arthur Meeker, $5,225,000;
Joy Morton, $8,500,000.
Storms: During the week just past,
there have been two storms of great
severity. One was general through the
Gulf of Mexico. It struck the city of
Tampa, Fla., with peculiar force, unroofing
many houses, and damaging a great
deal of shipping. It is spoken of as the
worst storm that has ever been known
in the Gulf. The wind blew at the rate
of eighty miles an hour. The other storm
was local. Its centre was in Atlanta, and
li extended nve or ten miles on either
side. It reached from Augusta, Ga. to
West Tennessee. Its peculiarity was the
lasge size of the hailstones. Some of
them measured eight or ten inches in
circumference and weighed in the neighborhood
of half a pound. One is reported
of much large* size. It lasted only
twelve minutes, but it did many thousand
dollars' worth of damage.
A Killing Frost was experienced in the
northern parts of Georgia and Alabama,
on October 13. It is unusually early.
Motor Cars: A recent decision by the
supreme court In Maine is to the effect
that automobiles have not any right on
the roads of that State, and that if any
town wishes to exclude them, it may lawfully
do so.
Responsibilities of the Mill Dam: In the
Court of Appeals of Georgia, there was
a decision, last wedk, in the case of a
man, who lived near to a stream on which
a power company had erected a dam.
?H. October 20, 1909.
for the purpose of utilizing water power.
The man claimed that the back water,
created by the dam, being stagnant, had
been breeding mosquitoes, and that they
had caused an outbreak of malaria in his
family. The court sustained this plea
and gave to the complainant damages
against the power company.
The Cook-Peary Discussion Drags
Along: The latest development is on Uie
question, whether Dr. Cook ever reached
the summit of Mount McKinley in Alaska.
His companion on that triD. Mr. Edwin
N. Barrill, makes affidavit that they never
reached the summit, but stopped fourteen
miles short of it, and that Dr. Cook's
report of the matter are untrue. Dr.
Cook denies this. Of the merits of the
controversy, nobody knows anything.
Insurance Valuation: In South Carolina
there is a legal discussion over the proper
valuation to be paid on property destroyed
by ,flre. In the case at issue a
house was insured for $1,500. It was insured
for one thousand dollars, and the
liability of the company was therefore
three-fourths of the loss. After the fire
the insurance adjuster claimed that the
house was worth only eleven hundred
dollars and that the company is liable
only for three-fourths of eleven hundred
dollars. The Insurance Commissioner
of that State holds, to the contrary, that
ine vaiuauon recognized Dy me agent at
the time of the contract should bind both
parties, and the insured is entitled to
three-fourths of $1,500.
STRENGTH
Without Overloading the Stomach.
The business man, especially, needs
food in the morning that will not overload
the stomach, but give mental vigor
for the day.
Much depends on the start a man gets
each day, as to how he may expect to
accomplish the work on hand.
He can't be alert, with a heavy, friedmeat-and-potatoes
breakfast requiring a
lot of vital energy in digesting it.
A California business man tried to find
some food combination that would not
overload the stomach in the morning, but
that would produce energy.
He writes:
"For years I was unable to find a breakfast
food that had nutrition enough to
sustain a business man without overloading
his stomach, causing indigestion and
kindred ailments.
"Being a very busy and also a very
nervous man, I decided to g^ve up breakfast
altogether. But luckily I was induced
to try Grape-Nuts.
"Since that morning 1 have been a new
man; can work without tiring, my head
is clear and my nerves strong and quiet.

with ono of sugar and a small quantity
of cold milk, make a delicious morning
meal, which invigorates me for the day's
business." Read the little book, "The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a
reason." /
