Healthy babies don't cry, and the well-nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is. never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well. "My little baby was given up ty three doctors, who said that the con densed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told mo that the only thing to do would be to try Grape Nuts, so I got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked 1% tablespoon fuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed' 12 teaspoonfuls of thia strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put In a pinch . ot salt and a little lugar, warmed it and gave lt to baby every two hours.

From the (Railway Wi Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal In the eause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by the paDlc which he and his kind aid so much to bring on, is out with an an-* Bwer to President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Tho publication o? this answer, it is officially given out, was de layed several weeks, "for business reasons," because lt was not deemed advisable to ?urther excite the public mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that tho storm clouds have rolled by, however, pfetf Commissioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points in the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were, (1) that the rate of six cents on oil from Whiling to East Et, Louis has been is sued to the Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that the ?S-cent rato on file with the Inter state Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being intended tc apply to oil, (3) that oil was shipped In large quantities between Whiting and East S.t. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourtL cents per hun dred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission as the law ful rate, and (4) that the 18-cent ra J on oil was eutirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between these points of a similar character, and o! greater value, such, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful rate on which wa3 elgh't ce??s. President Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of freight had been sent by other shippers be tween these points under substantially the same conditions as governed the shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company wa3 widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex erted a powerful influence upon the public mind. Naturally the Administration, which has staked the success of its campaign against the "trusts" upon the result ot its at tack upon this company, endeavors to offset this influence, and hence the new deliverance of Commissioner Smith. We need hardly to point out that his re buttal argument is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as the circumstances would warrant.' Ho answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard Oil Company had a traffic department, and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no an swer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rate because it read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which is described as "a village of about 1,500 popu lation just outside of Chicago. Its only claim to note ls that it has been for many years the point of origin for thia and similar secret rates." The Commissioner admits ia describing this rate that there was a no?.e attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. The press has quite generally hailed this statement of the Commissioner of Corpora tions as a conclusive refutation of what is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Staudard. In fact, lt is as weak and inconclusive a3 the remainder of his argument. The lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not run Into Chicago. They from which point entr Belt Line.

So far from lng its rato from Dol ) the shipper, it is the nations who either be ,nce of transportation ritory or relies on the 3se customs to deeeive iccept unquestioningly e by a Government true, although/ as in i careful examination J be false. i by President Moffett of a character similar nucb lower rates than lionor of Corporations he remark that "the s rate is not In ques whether this rate con ion as against other e also makes much of ut Moffett to produce ?vidence of the alleged e Standard Oil official shippers in the terri tory had been guilty. Considering tho fact that these shippers included the packers and elevator men of Chicago, the action of the grand jury in calilos; upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may be interpreted as a demand for an elabora tion of the obvious; but the fact that a rata* book containing these freight rates for otho? shippers was offered in evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Landis, was kept out of sight. President Moffett would not, of course, accept the invitation of the grand jury although be might have been pardoned if he had referred them to various official investigations by the Interstate Com merc? Commission and other departments of the Governrh?nt. We come back, therefore, to thc conclusion 6f the v/tale matter, which is that the Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana Was fined an amount equal to ?ev?? Or eight times the value of- its entire property, because ita trafilo department c*Id not verify the statement of the Alton,rate clerk, that the six-cent com modity rate on oil had beep properly flied with the Interstate Commerce Commission. There is no evidence, and none was Intro duced at th? trial, that any shipper of pfl from Chicago territory had been'Interfered with by the eigkteeh-cent rate nor that the failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rat? had resulted in any discrimination against . any independent shipper,-wo must take this on the word of tho Commissioner of Cor porations and of Judge Landis. Neither is it denied even by Mr. Smith that the. "inde pendent" shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business by this discrim ination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Holton over the lines of the Chicago and; Eastern Illinois to East St. Louis. In short; President Moffett's defence is still good, and we predict will be declared so by the higher court. Tho Standard Oil Company has been charged with all manner of crimes and mis demeanors. Beginning with the famous Rice of Marietta, passing down to that apostle ot popular liberties, Henry Demarest Lloyd, with his Wealth Against the Commonwealth, descending by easy stages to Miss" Tarbell's offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless mis representation in the report of the Commis sioner of Corporations. The Standard has been charged with every form of commercial piracy and with most of the crimes on the corporation calendar. After long years dt . strenuous attack, under tho leadership of the President of the United Statea, tbe corpora tion is at last dragged to the bar of justice to answer for its misdoings. The whole strength of the Government is directed against lt, and at last, we are told, the Standard Oil Com pany is to pay the penalty of its crimes, and lt is finally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and is/ forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measured by the car. Under the old criminal law, the theft of property worth more than a shilling i Was punishable by death. Under the Inter--'; pretation of the Interstate Commerce law j by Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Kenesaw - Landis, a technical error, of a traffic official.jt is made the excuse for the confiscation o' a | vast amount of property. v ?
