2 ST. LOUIS BALLOON RAGL I . MS PODRLT ORGMSZEG / So Declares Swiss Club. Which Has Filed a Pro test XUT YORK, Dec 28.—Americas rep te&ntaUves at tfie meeting ot the In ter*atk>nal Aeronautic Federation In -. January 10 ar e 'to fice a'new and 3ffitexpected proteat. ***The Swiss Aero club, acocriling to a communication received from the head quarters of the federation, has filed a formal protect-charging that the Intema tiomtl balloon race held from St. Louts ; tn datober was net organised properly. Thipracf was won by Messrk. Hawley { stiff Poet in the America 11. It is under stood that the Swiss club has no fault , .to ted with the race itself or -with its tesult-* but only with the management Os affairs in St. Louts up to.the time the f balloons left. A statement by Cortlandt F. Bishop, re garding the matters under protest is as follows: “Conditlone at St. Louts were not as good as might have been desired, but I have no reason to believe they were not as good as possible. In spite of the fact j that two features were not satisfactory . and served to handicap the starting of * the balloons, they were started just as promptly as when the race was held in 4urich. Switzerland. «T Z'Both the handicaps at St Louis were due to conditions over which the Aero club Os St Louis, which was tn charge, had no control. One was the supply of gas "“'which was sufficient but alow. This was due to the fact that the gas works were at the time undergoing a general over hauling and were unable to meet the de- | mane in the desired time. It took C All the ballooH'i whereas, if the MorXs had been Ineir normal cond ttons. two hours would have, been ample for ( the purpose. _ . . < Aneth er trouble was tg the force of mer. tn charge of the field, the inflation ot the battodr.s and the general prepara tions Tor the flight. They were .militia men and others employ 'd for the purpose and while willing anfl faithful had never; had any experience in ballooning. In 1907 we had the use of selected men from the signal corps of the United State* ' army and there were neither hitch nor "delay "Protests were made afterward, how ever. against United Staten troops being I assigned to such duty, and President .Booseseh -isaueji -an order- obi biting it I thereafter ‘ "" “The St. Louis Aero club has been no tified of the Swiss protest and asked to' furnish data with which to meet it. I have, ao doubt we will be able to overthrow the protest but it may result in stricter 1 regulations for the race hereaftep. “It is a grave question, in that event. I where to start the race of 1911. It must * be at some city where a good supply of gas can be obtained and such cities are few in this country.” FAMILY BARELY MISS DEATH IN FIERY HOME: ROME. Ga..

THE WAY O’ - From Weakness to Power by Food Route Getting the right start for the day's work often means the difference between * doing things in wholesome comfort, or dragging along half dead all day. , There’s more in the use of proper food than many people ever dream of—more's the pity. “Throe years ago I began working in .a general store.” writes a man. “and _ between frequent deliveries and more - frequent customers. 1 was kept on my feet from mom:ng till night. ’•'lndigestion had troubled me for some time, and in fact my slight breakfast was taken more from habit than appe tite. At first this insufficient diet was not noticed much, but at work it made me weak and hungry long before noon. “Yet a breakfast of rolls, fried foods and coffee meant headaches, nausea and kindred discomforts. Either way I was losing weight and strength, when one day a friend suggested that 1 try a ‘Grape h'Uts breakfast.' “Bo I began with some stewed fruit, Grapt-Nuts and cream, a soft boiled egg. toast and a cup of FoetUm.

PRESIDENT IN ATLANTA TO HELP FIGHT FOR BETTER MILEAGE RULES W. 0. Hudson, of New Or leans, Assures Members of Order in Georgia That Na tional Organization Will Back Them W. O. Hudson, of New Orleans, national , president of the Travelers’ Protector* «s» | •■ociation. is in Atlanta this week, sure the members ot the T. P. A in Geor gia that <he national organisation is with them "to the finish" -in their fight to force the railroads to pull mileage on the trains. Mr. HUBrak having numprpus con O'” ( ences with Georgia committees and lend ing members, of the fraternity in •hi* state, urging them to push their demands, assuring them that the traveling men s’ l ever the United States were watching the fight and mentally cheering the Genr .nans on. Mr Hudson further promises that »< " seems “essentially necessary ’ he will send F. W. Crandall, chairman of 'b“ national railroad committee, to Georgia to appear before the railroad commission on, behalf of the T. P. A. of this state. , The'bgtional president of the T. r.„> . declares that the L. & N. railroad is «ione responsible for the trouble, and that « i« that line alone which is causing tb A other railroads In the southeast to force people to exchange mileage for tickets. Mr. Hudson says he has been absolutely assured of this. "At a certain meeting of the Southeast ern Tariff association not long ago,” says the head of the traveling men. "a high passenger official of the Illinois Central road strongly expressed the view that it was the natural duty of the. conductors i to pull mileage, and not the duty of the! ticket sellers, and that mileage ought never to be exchanged for tickets. L. & N. HOLDS OUT. "This same official has informed me that all the other roads were perfectly willing to let the mileage be pulled on the trains, except the L. & N., and that the L. A N. held out. forcing the other roads to its wishes by refusing to accept interchangeable mileage aibUm 4t was stipulated 4n: the books tbaj the mileage nlßl* exchanged for tickets. •‘All of us traveling men in New Or leans know that the L. & N. is at the. bottom of it. and we feel that we are just ified in fighting that road. One of the | ways we fight ft is this: Ninety per cent l of the traveling men out of New Orleans: when the want to buy mileage books for use on the ll & N. buy them from thei Illinois Central, thus throwing to tty?. Illinois Central a considerable amount of. money which that road is given the use! of. With the interest accruing from it. a considerable time before the mileage is I actually used, and keeping the L. & N.J from touching that sum, with its accruing • interest, until the last possible moment.” j Mr. Hudson also says that the L$ & N.’> is the only road out of New Orleans that doesn't already pull mileage on trains! on the intra-state business. Ticket agents would naturally be glad to see the mileage everywhere pulled by the conductors, says Mr. Hudson, as it weald-give them, that is the agents, more 1 time te attend to-their other duties. MEET SATURDAY NIGHT. Mr. Hudson will be here until the latter! part of this week, and is busily engaged, every day in conferring with leaders in! the fight, offering suggestions and prom-| Ises of aid. and acquainting the Georgians, more fully with the manner in which the j fight has been waged tn other localities.i AU day Tuesday the national president was .in conference with J.
