They had held their corn for some time and for a few days had been buying right and left ta tha country. The -other dealers had been shipping as usual. Th result was that the TransminstHntppl lrln, company and the Omaha Elevator ompeny, shipped the bulk of the grain ant out of Omaha over the Milwaukee nn er that export rate. They had the grain Mid they got the cars. The other dealers got themselves Into action and shipped connldsrabl corn toward the end of the rat period, but even then they found great difficulty in getting cars. "That Vat' of ours was an open rate ad every grain and elevator man or firm 'could ship by U." said a representative of th Milwaukee Wednesday morning. "There was nothing ' secret about It. Certainly soma on firm or two would ship more grain than others, because it is perfectly natural that some one firm or two would do a larger business than others. There's nothing mysterious about, that. As a mat- iter of fact th Milwaukee had nothing to ; oover up and so did not attempt it. Its tat was publicly announced. If a certain grain firm of two made more money under that rat than some others, that's not our 'fault, but their 'fortune." 1 Goald'a MldalsM Hate.

If your present method of feeding makes imperfect cells and fsils to build the soft gray matter in brain and nerve centres scattered over the body, look alive, quit the old diet, and take on a new and better one. That's plain common sense. Right then is the exact time to quit coffee absolutely and select meals wisely. Suppose you try for breakfast, A little fruit, A dish of Grape-Nuts and cream, Two soft-boiled eggs, A cup of Fostum Food Coffee. . fitop at that, it will carry you easily uuv.il the midday meal, which can be either a lunch of the same things If a dinner is expected at night) or the heavy meal can beNsken at midday. Take only one heavy meal'ln a day In addition to the two light ones. At the heavy meal have one good meat course, with one or two vege tables, ud a itch, sweet GrapeNuts pudding. After a few days of these meals a change for the better will come oer the body In practically every case where the disease has not become too firmly fixed and chronic Henienibfr h"altr is a matter of wisely selected food and a harmonious mind.

It has cash on hand reaching the enormous sum of 19.89; premiums In process of collection, 1131, and furniture and fixtures valued at 1125, making its total assets reach the sum of 1265.69, startling figures In these days of (rensled finance. It has collected In advance assessments to the amount of 178; It has on hand claims Inherited from th old company amounting to 110; It has an open account from the old company amounting to 118S; it has other accounts outstanding reaching !i62..

The ,a,e does not make an indiscriminate provision for the payment of members of congress. It apportions one salary to each district or seat, and Its plain purpose Is that the whole of that salary shall go to the member of successive- members, who j .-eprvsent that district or occupy that seat, and that no part of the foalary shall fall back Into the treasury." In another case which was passed upon by the court of claims, and In which this eame languuge was used, appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United States and the decision . of the .lower court waa sustained. The Teegarden circular goes on: In brief, the situation Is simply this: The salary of congressmen is fixed by stat ute, and If the congressman Is paid the salary fixed by the statute It can not be morally wrong since It is legally right, unless the democratic nominee contends that congressmen should be paid on a basis of the value of their services and not as provided by the statute, In which event a democratic congressman would have difficulty In establishing his right or claim to any salary. It is quite generally known that the present administration has been busy doing things for the general good of the people, and a democratic con pressman from this district at this time would he In the way. No on claims that ne would nelp the president or Congress In the work to be done. It must be admitted that lie would be In the way of getting the work done, and for that service, if he would not avail himself of the statutory salary, he would not get any salary.
