Eastman has submitted plans to the officials of the Des Moines na tional bank, for a building of classic design, to be built of glass after bis new plan of glas3 construction. Tbs building, as constructed, would be most unique and would be especially attractive with its heavy columns of wire glass. Mr. Eastman's .scheme of glass con struction has provoked much comment throughout the country. The general plan follows: It consists of a steel framework, supported by brackets attached to the beams of the floors, in duplicate, mak ing two walls of opalescent wire glass, the glass being set in th? steel frame work. The glass walls are approximately^ a foot apart, making an insulating dead ir space to prevent loss of beat In winter and to prevent undue heat in summer. ThiF system of construction allows of any arrangement of floor plan, be cause windows are unnecessary; and .for the same reason the exterior will admit of any stye of treatment en tirely free of the restrictions of fen? estration. v The wall is fire-resisting to a prac tical degree, as it has been demon strated that wire glass will resist a hot fire, and if necessary to replace lt, the firo damage would be local and easily replaced. The cost compared to stone, terra cotta or brick would be from a quar ter to a third less for the outer walls. The inner construction of the build ing is similar to that in general use, eitner steel or masonry.-Iowa State Register. Scuttled Ship Saved Dam.

' Vj of the West Are "Exclusive" Terri? tory For the Armours-Under Con. tracta With the R.allroada. * Washington, Special;-?ef ore th?. Senate committe on inter-State com merce, which is investigating railroad rates, President George R. Robbins, of the Armour Car Lines Company, ad mitted that the company had twenty or thirty exclusive contracts with rail roads for fruit transportation business, and acknowledge a monopoly of that traffic in parts of the West and South, Wherever these exclusive contracts ap plied, he admitted, the producers and shippers of fruit had to acce.pt the rates laid down by the Armours. He claimed that his company wassa private one, and therefore not subject to the inter state commerce laws. Tk? Armours, he said, had exclusive contracts with all the South Atlantic coast railways, and exclusive contracts in East Tennessee. Fruit producers and shippers on these exclusive lines had to accept the rates of the Armour Company, but Mr. Robbins.said they satisfied 80 per cent, of the shippers. C. W. Robinson, representing the New Orleans board of trade and the Central Yellow Pine Lumber Associa tion, testified that Eastern trunk lines should be restrained from diverting the grain of the Northwest from its natural outlet at New Orleans. He advocated enlarged powers for the inter-State commerce commission. Mr. Robinson said that the railroads operating in the South had advanced yellow pine lum ber rates, and charged that there were indirect rebates or discriminations by manipulation of rates. He referred to practices of billing lurrrber to small towns and then re-billing to destina tions, by which a cheaper rate for a long haul is granted. This, he said, is discrimination against shippers. Hearing in Car Shortage.

Mr. Robbins said the loss to the company" would be more than it had made and would make in many years from the Carolina berry business Race to England On. New York, Special.-A splendid fleet of sailing yachts swept across a start ing line at Sandy Hook light ship at 12:15 p. m. Wednesday, and with the Queenly American schooner Atlantic leading the way headed out into the broad Atlantic Ocean on a race of 3,000 miles to the English coast for a $5,000 cup offered by Emperor William of Ger many. When last seen as they vanish ed into the mist they were strung out in a line six miles long, heading south eastward and pointing as nearly as pos sible tb a wind that was dead ahead. A quarter of a mile astern of the At lantic was the' 90-foot American yawl Aisla, which was having a "hot brush V S the German schooner Hamburg, while all three of the leaders were slowly dropping the Philadelphia' schooner Hildegarde. Next was the Endymion, holder of the trans-Atlan tic yachting record. Almost a mile astern of the Atlantic and more than half-mile astern of the Endymion were th? Thistle and Fleur de Lys. Strung out behind were the American bark Apache, the British topsail schooner Sunbeam, and five miles astern the leader was the American three-masted schooner Utowana. Bringing up the rear was the British clipper ship Val halla. These two had been delayed by a bad start. LABOR WORLD.

GREAT CHANCE From Change In Tooili The brain depends much more on the stomach than we are apt to suppose un til we take thought in the matter. Feed the stomach on proper food easy to digest nnd containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy brain will respond to all demands. A notable housewife In Buffalo writes: "The doctor diagnosed my trouble ns a 'nervous affection cf the stomach.' I was actually so nervous that I could not sit still for five minutes to read the newspaper, and to attend to my house hold duties was simply impossible. I doctored all the time with remedies, hut medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgiviugs-I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else j had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried it. I feel like a new person, I have gained in weight and I don't have that terrible burning sensation _n my stomach any more. I feel so strong again that I am . surprised nt myself. The street noises that liaed to irritate me so, I never notice now, and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? . Tho stomach and the brain had not been supplied with the right kind of food lo rebuild and strengthen the nerve centres in these organs. It is ab solute folly to try to do this with medicine. T.'iere Is but one sure way, and that Is to quit the old food that has failed and take on Grape-Nuts food, which Is more than half digested in the process of manufacture and is rich in the phosphate of potash contained in the natural grain, which unites with albumen and water-the only three substances that will malice up the soft gray-filling In the thousands of delicate nerve centres in the brain and body.

In his testimony before the Sennte Committee on Interstate Commerce at Washington on May 4, Professor Hugo R. Meyer, o? Chicago University, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: "Let us look at what might have hap pened if we bad heeded the protests of the farmers of New ?ork aud Ohio and Pennsylvania (In the seventies when grain from the West began pour ing to the Atlantic seaboard) and acted upon the docirine which the Interstate Commerce Commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical po sition. We could not have west of tho Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the. years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of raliway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi River who could have used the land that would have been opened up by tho building of those railways. And, If we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 mlbs of railway a year, we should not have to-dny, east of the Mississippi, a steol and iron producing centre which is nt once the marvel and the despair ot Europe, be cause we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if -there had hceu no market for its product. "We could not have in New Eng land a great boot and shoe Industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton milling industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufac turing industries of the most diversi fied kinds, because those industries would have no market among the farm ers west of th? Mississippi River. "And, while the progress of ibis country, wbiie thc development of the agricultural West of this country, did mean thc impairment of thc agricul tural value east of the Mississippi River ihi'.t ran up into hundreds of millions of dollar?, it meant, inci dentally, the building up of great man ufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands pf millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, these things were not foreseffi in the seventies. The statesmen and the pub lic men of this couutry did 'not see what part the agricultural develop ment of the West was goi?g to play in the Industrial development of the East. And, you tuny read the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, from the first to tim last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued in ability to see the question lu-this large way. "The Interstate Commerce Commis sion never can see anything moro than that thc firm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or, that some man, who hus a flour mill with a pro duction of fifty barrels a day, is being crowded out. It never eau see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means tho building np of farm values in that place, and thnt that sniftiug of values is a neces sary incident to the industrial and man ufacturing development of this coun try. And, if we shall give to tho Inter state Commerce Commission power to regulate rates, wc shall no longer have our rates regulated OD tho statesman like basis on which they have been regulated in the past *)y the railway men, who really have ?cen great states-, men; who really have boen great build ers of empires; who have had au im agination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the great est inventor, and who have operated with u courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of\lhe greatest military general; But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose beset ting sin Hie world over, Is that they can never grasp a situation lu a large way and with the grasp of the states man; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil; that that evil is relatively small, and that lt cannot be corrected except by- the .creatiuu of ovlls and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected."
