The practice of Upping has become
so general and Is considered so neces

that it has become substantially a

The sugar trust has been cheating
the government for ten years. Yet the
government is kinder to the sugar
trust, asserts the Rochester Herald,
than to any other in the country.
Says the Springfield Union: It is
desirable that the letting of boats to
persons Incompetent to manage them

this end can best be attained tnrough

in danger of losing his privilege if he
disregarded the regulations laid down.
That “white woodchuck with pink
eyes,’’ whose capture is reported
from North Andover in the common
wealth of Massachusetts, must be that
same "groundhog” who annually on
Candlemas day comes forth from his
hole, looks around, sometimes sees
his shadow and sometimes does not,
and incidentally causes so much
comment In the newspapers. He
should be released at once, demands
the New Haven Register, for he is an
Indispensable institution.
Referring to the gasoline stench so

It
being brought to the attention of a
multitude of “average citizens’’ all
■ over the world by the growing econo
mic strain of preparation for war, af
firms the Providence Journal. That
such preparation may be charged off
to insurance against the war does not
moderate the feeling that it is prov

not the worst of evils may be ad
mitted without relieving discontent
at the obvious evils apparently made
necessary for its prevention.
No one will protened, argues the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that in and of
themselves the ancient Greek and Ro
man writers furnish a pabulum that is
directly and immediately practical for
those who do not expect to leueli
them. They have their merits as liter
ature, but the study of them produces
some very "practical results.” The
young man who is able to read in the
orignal with more or less ease the dra
mas of Aeschylus or the Odes of Hor
ace has passed through a mental dis
cipline which, if he have any adapta
bility at all, will be of use to him as
much in a mining camp, a steel mill
or grocery store as in a lecture room,
lie has been obliged to put the gray
material in his brain to very diversi
fied uses and has accomplished the
task of adjusting his mind to abstruse
with definite results. It is a fact that
many of the most successful men in
business today have studied the clas
sics. The English may be looked upon
as the most successful administrators
of the world, the men who have gone
farthest and accomplished most. Yet
the men of England who have done
things were early schooled in the
classics to a degree that would be im
possible here. It is not Plautus or Ter
ence or Sappho that is being studied
so much as that the mind is being
plowed and harrowed and developed
so as to seize the exact situation in
anv given set of circumstances. The
American young men who omit clas
sical study are one-sided and these
are they who suffer most in those per
iods of depression when the "engi
neers,” as most scientifically trained
young men bre called, are not need
ed, and they can do nothing outside
their narrow self-imposed limitations.
COTTON NEEDS RAIN
improvement Is Shown in Some
of the States.
BOLL WEEVILS NUMEROUS
The Crop Promise Is Still Uncertain, But
With Favorable Weather a Fair
Yield Can Be Made.
Memphis, Tenn.—The following is
the Commercial-Appeal’s summary of
the week's cotton crop condition:
Returns from the cotton crop this
week are mixed. Improvement is
noted in Georgia, Alabama, Missis
sippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and northern' and eastern Texas. No
improvement or loss occurred in North
Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana,
and central, southern and western
Texas.
The plant in Arkai: as, Oklahoma
and northern Texas is large, fruiting
well, thrifty and full of promise. East
of the Mississippi river, although im
provement has taken place as noted,
the plant is small and not always
healthy and apparently stands are
bad. The crop promise is regarded
as still uncertain, although wVi fa
vorable weather for the remainder of
the season, a fair yield can be made.
Heavy rains in North and South
Carolina delayed cultivation and much
grass is still complained of. Dry
weather there is greatly desired. Much
apprehension exists throughout cen
tral and western Texas of a sum
mer drought. It has not rained there
for two weeks or more and tem
peratures have been very high. The
plant show's the effect. As yet no
great damage has resulted, but it is
believed that the crop has reached a
point where it will soon deteriorate
without moisture. 801 l weevils are nu
merous in Louisiana, but
complaints are not frequent.
New Orleans, La.— The Times-!
Democrat, in its summary of cotton
crop conditions, based on reports from
correspondents in every section of the
south, says “the concensus of opinion
is to the following effect:
“Taking the belt as a whole, there
has been distinct improvement since
(Tie last report.
"The crop is late, as a rule, but has
been industriously worked -wherever
the meteorological conditions were
favorable. There has been some ad
ditional reduction of acreage, through
forced abandonment. There are com
plaints of 'boll tyeeyil frorn sections of
Mississippi, LouisiaiET, ’Arkansas and
Texas, but it is too soon as yet to
forecast the ultimate damage. Despite
the improvement during the month,
the situation still presents grave pos
sibilities, and the plant, being small
and puny, is peculiarly subject to dam
age front premature frost.”

CASTRO PREDICTS REVOLUTION.
Ex-Dictator of Venezuela Says Gomez
Government Will Fall.
Santander, Spain.—General Castro,
ex-president of Venezuela, issued a
statement predicting the downfall of
the Gomez government in Venezuela,
Castro says:
"The diplomatic arrangements
made by the Venezuelan government
with the United States. France and
other nations are onerous and humil
iating to Venezuelans. The sover
eignty and independence of Venezuela
is weakened by the treaty with tlie
United States, which is now in a po
sition to take possession of the Ven
ezuelan republic in the name cf the
Monroe doctrine.”
“ELEVATOR ALLOWANCE” BARRED
Re-Shipping Prohibited Under Decision
of Interstate Commerce Commission.
Washington, D. C. —The so-called
"elevator allowance” to dealers in
hay, grain and grain products at
Nashville, Tenn., was declared to be
unlawful discrimination in a decision
announced by the interstate com
i merce commission.
The complaint was brought by com
mercial houses in Atlanta and other
Georgia cities, which alleged that the
carriers have granted to Nashville un
due preference in the handling of
grain, grain products and hay from
Ohio and Mississippi river crossings
to southeastern destinations, thereby
eliminating competition with the
southeastern territory.
The commission held that ‘the cir
cumstances and conditions prevailing
at Nashville are not so dissimilar
from those prevailing at other points
in the southeast as to warrant a con
tinuance of this privilege at Nashville
without undue discrimination, to the
prejudice and disadvantage of points
in that territory not having a simi
lar privilege.”
It was held further that “this priv
ilege operates as a device by which
traffic may move at less than the law
ful ttriff rate.”
The defendants which include prac
tically all of the lines operating in
the southeastern territory, are order
ed to cease paying -by September 1,
next, any allowance for elevation, un
loading or handling grain, grain prod
ucts or hay at Nashville, or for re
billing or reshipping such products at
Nashville. They are directed to file
tariffs with the commission in con
sonance with the order.
ECONOMY ON ISTHMUS.
No More Carriages for Government
Officials.
Washington, D. C. —The wave of
economy first noticed at Washington
some time after the advent of the
j Taft administration is reported as
I having arrived at the isthmian canal
I zone. Its first effect was to sweep
| away nearly all the government cal>
i riages used by the commissioners and
j other officials on the zone. Colonel
J GoethaTs, chairman of the canal com
mission, lias issued an order discon
tinuing the use of these carriages
and directing the chief quartermaster
to sell all transportation equipment on
hand, with the exception of a few sur
reys to be used exclusively for the
transaction of public business. Non#
of these is for the use of any mem
ber of the commission. In contrast
with this policy is to be noticed the
methods of the French during their
attempt to construct the canal.
NEW Tfttfpf FOB RABIES.
Physicians at University of Pennsyl
• vania Have New Theory.
Philadelphia, Pa. —News of the
deepest interest to world of sci
ence comes from the University of
Pennsylvania in the statement that
certain experiments now being con
ducted there point to an entirely
different theory from any hitherto en
tertained regarding the cause of hy
drophobia, and, if successful, will
revolutionize every accepted theory
to date.
Dr. Charles W. Dulles, who among
other physicians has beun quietly
working in the university laborato
ries, declared it was not intended to
make the results public until next
spring, but he added: \
“If the results bear out the new
theory, almost every accepted idea on
the subject of hydrophobia will vir
tually be swept away.

ORIGIN
Of a Famous Human Food.
The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi
cal and'mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat withj
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked stur
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making It a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant, but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its flavour is charming, and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
| factory it is served instantly with
!cream. * .
The signature of the brara. worker
Ispoken of, C. W. Post, is to Vo seen
on each genuine package of Grftpe-
Nuts. N
