There aro people who become uncon

Is to say, they IIHq butter, and gradually
ont, a little more ns the piontlis go by,
until they find they have consumed, each
meal, quite a quantity of fat, that they
have not vitality enough to properly digest.
This Icdlgested substance causes mora
or loss catarrh'of tho stomach and trouble
with the bowels.
Tho remedy, of course, Is to largely cut
down the allowance of butter, and for two
or three nights, sup nearly a quart of very
hot water, Just before going to bed, This
washes out the stomach and bowels and
gives them renewed vitality. Then the per
son should, for a few mornings at least,
rely on good, rich cream, with Grapo-Nuts,
for breakfast, letting out the butter al
together. The cream gives all the fat
needed.'
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an ideal
portion of any breakfast.
Iiniiortnnt Developments Expected.
It Is apparent In Pittsburg this 'fevenlng
that fresh and decidedly- Important1 develop
ment's In the strike of 'the steep workers
wero about to take place. At tho Amal
gamated association headquarters the two
leading officials of the association were
absent during the greater part of tho day.
It was stated that President Shnffer was
awny on personal business and ha'd noth
ing in hand concerning tho strike. Thn
absence of Secretary John Williams was
also accounted for In tho same manner.
Conference Is n Mystery.
The conference held on Tuesday niitht.
which kept President Shaffer nnd Secretary
Williams out until early this morning, re
mains as mysterious as before. Neither of
these officials would givo out any Idea of
what had taken place aside from statlnc
positively that they had not met any of the
officials ot tho United States Steel corpora
tion, wnatover the object of tho meeting,
it is believed to have been continued todav
and much of Importance Is expected to bo
developed from tho conference.
Tho. question of tho manufacturers n.
curing injunctions agnlnst tho Amalgamated
association was discussed guardedly during
the day. Secretary McTlgho said ,hc did
not- think tho measure would be resorted
to at this stage, even If it was contem
plated for a later day. There was practi
cally no cause for such a measure and if
there was he doubted if under the condi
tions that exist nt present the courts would
grant such orders. Particularly Is this tho
caso In Pennsylvania. In Ohio President
tinaner is snld to feel confident that such
Injunctions would not bo granted. Those
best acquainted with the feollnes of th
manufacturers eay there Is, In their opinion,
imu causa ior Dellevfng that such
measures will be resorted to at this time.
Jin More Union Mills.
Tho Post tomorrow will say: ' Thnt mv.
tc-rious conference, which was attended by
President T. J.Shaffer of the Amalgamated
association and Secretary John Williams
on Tuesday night, promises to hri
a chango In tho situation of the s.esl work
ers' strike in n fow days. It Is undnr.
stood that a movement has hep n xtnrfArl
by tho Amalgamated officials for a settle
ment ot the, difficulty by further confer
ence with tho officials of the steel cor
poration. This latter movement Is said
to havo been Inaugurated on Tuesday when
President Shnffor ahd Secretary Williams
held a four hours' conferenco with other
persons at tho Lincoln hotel,
M. M. Garland, tho former president of
the Amalgamated association and now
survoyor of the port of Pittsburg, Is said
to be In New York. In tho Interest of a
settlement of some kind, Whether Mr. Gar
land la acting In behalf of the Amalga
mated association or not Is meroly con
jecture, Tho manufacturers, It Is raid, arc averse
to any settlement on the basis of an In
crease In the number of union mills. On
this mnttcr they aro prepared to fight.
