We have quit using potatoes three times a day with coffee and so much meat. “Now we give the little folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed, or canned, some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa- sionally some soft boiled eggs, and some Postum for breakfast and sup- per. Then for dinner they have some meat and vegetables. “It would be hard to fully describe the change in the children, they have grown so sturdy and strons, and we attribute this change to the food ele- ments that, I understand, exist in Grape-Nuts and Postum, “A short time ago my baby was teething had a great deal of stomach and bowel trouble.

TWO “NEW HAVEN” DIREGTORS RESIGN H. K. McHarg and F. F. Brewster 1o Retire—Both on Trial Néw York, Oct. —Henry K. Mc- Harg and Fredrick Brewster, di- rg‘tors of the New York, New Haven & 'Hartford railroad, now on trial with nine former directors of the road under the Sherman anti-trust law, have resigned from the “New Haven" airectorate. Their resignations became known after yesterday's session of the trial | ernor, | Adaie now concluding its second week, had adjourned. They will be formally presented to the “New Haven' stock- holders at their annual meeting to be held in New Haven today, it was lcarned. Not to Embarass Management, While no formal statement as to the reason for their retirement was obtainable last night, it was said on behalf of the ‘“New Haven” company that their action was undoubtedly due to a desire not to embarass the present “New Haven” management on account of their status as alleged vio- lators of the law being a matter still to be determined by a jury. Their action follows that of the other for- mer directors of the road now on trial who have resigned at various times during the progress of the sveral gov- ernment actions against the ‘“New Haven” road. Messrs. McHarg and Brewster en- tered the board together, May 81, 1907. They took no part in alleged illegal acts committed by their fe!- low defendants prior to that date and by which the government is seeking to show that the alleged conspiracy to monopolize the traffic of New Eng- land was concerned at the time the Sherman law was passed. Mr. Brew- ster lives in New Haven, and Mr, Mc- Harg n New York. They figure in the case at a time when the ‘“New Haven” was busy in taking over steamship lines and trolley properties. Banker and Broker. Henry K. McHarg is a New York banker and broker and a former gov- ernor of the New York stock ex- change. He has extensive coal and coke interests in Virginia and has been identified with the Wabash andi other railroads in addition to the “New Haven”.

Unless improve—and there is little hope for such—the New Haven railroad will soon be carrying a gigantic load on its shoulders in the way of export freight which can- not be delivered. This seemed to be the opinion of C. L. Bardo, general manager of the railroad, who was in New Britain yesterday. The European war has created ex- traordinary railroad conditions in this country. Never before has there been such a demand for cars and steam- ships. Some of the eastern railroads are choked by the enormous ship- ments and the New Haven is fast becoming glutted. Every day sees new piles of freight at the terminals near New York. Mr. Bardo says the greatest demand is for steamships. The roads can take care of the ship- L —— OUCH ! LUMBAGO ! RUB PAINS FROM SORE, LAME BACK conditions TO COPE WITH FOOD PROBLEM. Russia Empowers Minister of Interior | to Take Urgent Measures, London, Oct. 27.—An extraordinary meeting of the Russian council of ministers has empowered Alexel Khvostoff, minister of interior, to take urgent measures to cope with the food | problem, says a despatch to The Times from Petrograd. During his tour south, Minister Khvostoff ascertained that as many as 6,000 cars of foodstuffs were being de- tained in the freight sheds at Moscow. | Tc a representative of the Novo Vremya M. Khvostoff explained that the main cause for the unprecedented rise in prices lies in the congestion of freight at Ralzan, Tula, Orel, and other places and the extontionate wage demands of teamsters, together Wwith the failure of municipalities to adopt measures to facilitate the -de- livery of freight. He proposes to or- ganize military companies of team- sters, consisting of refugees and sol- diers, to discharge freight, and also to requisition drays and horses. Rub Backache away with small trial bottle of old, penetrating “St. Jacob’s Oil.” Back hurt you? Can’t straighten up without feeling sudden pains, sharp aches and twinges? Now listen! That's lumbago, sciatica or maybe from a strain, and you'll get relief the moment you rub your back with soothing, penetrating ‘St. Jacob's Oil”. Nothing else takes out soreness, lame- ness and stiffness so quickly. You simply rub it on your back and out comes the pain. It is harmless and doesn’t burn the skin. Limber up. Don't suffer! Get a small trial bottle of old, honest “St. Jacob’s Oil” from any drug store, and after using it just once, you’ll forget that you ever had backache, lumbago or sciatica, because your back will never hurt or cause any more misery. 1t never disappoints'and has been rec- ommended for sixty years silk-and-cotton poplin is un- usual enough to be distinctive.

There cases are cited merely to show conditions. Lighters in the harbor that could be formerly rented by the month now demand $12.60 per day.
