On a Pass.
It was during a tedious ride on t
Western railway, and the passengers
tired, dirty and thirsty, all berated
the company, with the exception ol
one single man. His fellow passen
gers commented on this, and askec
him why he did not denounce the
company, too.
"It would be hardly fair," he replied,
"as I am traveling on a free
pass; but. if they don't do better
pretty soon, blamed if I don't go oul
and buy a ticket and join you!,"?

man standing near the door

watched a minute, and then stepped
ou* and addressed him.

PRIZE FOOD

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
"After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, 1 cannot say enough in
Its favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
"Wo cnmotimpc trioH nthor a H tror.
tised breakfast foods, but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the
most palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.
"When I quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,
] was a nervous wreck. I was so Irritable
I could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
"After using Grape-Nuts a short
time I began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared, and now I
am a well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on GrapeNuts,
which they eat three times a
lay.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
.stomach trouble, even through tha
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when
all else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us."

. STEEL PRICES CUT Bf

! Building Boom Announced b)
Chairman L H. Gary.
?????
; SMALL MILLS FORCED FIGH1
Big Manufacturers Wage a Campaigi
of Extermination?Open Rattle
- by Reduction of From $3 to $4
i Per Ton.
New York City. ? A wide oper
market was officially announced b3
Elbert H. Gary, head of the Steel
Trust. Several hours before the forI
mal announcement the Carnegie Steel
, Company, one of the chief Bubsidi.i'
i ries of the trust, was closing coni
tracts in Pittsburg at prices ranging
from $3 to $4 a ton under the agreed
schedule. The Steel Trust had begun
to shoot into the ranks of ita
lesser rivals five hours before the
1 formal declaration of war.
A wide open market for steel baa
stupendous significance. For months
i there has been stagnation in many
I industries which ordinarily consume
[ j great quantities of steel, the high
prices fixed and adhered to by the
t largest manufacturers frightening
buyers. It has been eight years, or
3ince the spring of 1901, when the
' trust was created, that there has
been an open market for steel products.
Rails are the only product not afi
fected by the cut. They will stand at
$28 per ton.
I The consequences of the open mar1
ket are expected to be sweeping and
' of a mixed character, beneficent in
\ aome ways, evil in others.
. | A great revival in the build 'ng
trades is looked for, which will give
employment to hundreds of thou'
sands of men in all parts of the country
and bring into active use the tens
af millions of dollars which are prac,
tically lying idle in the vaults of
banks and trust companies,
i A greater consumption of its products
means not only more work for
more men in the many plants of the
3teel making industry, but more
work for more men where the crude
are is mined and more work for more
men on the railroads and lake steamships
which transport the raw and
manufactured products.
That is the bright side of a wide
open steel market. The other side
promises a picture which will show
the destruction of many of the little
Independent steel making concerns
which will be financially Incapable of
withstanding the strain of competition
with the billion dollar corporation.
Some of these little concerns
are the sole support of small communities.
With the doors closed, the
chimneys smokeless, the machinery
i going to rack and ruin from non-use,
the homes of the idle workmen will
, close up one by one and the community
vanish in all likelihood. .
