PORT COMMISSI OX TO MEET
Klcction of President, and Vole on
Bridge the Programme.
The most Important business to como
before the regular meeting of the Port of
Portland Commission this afternoon will
be the election of a president and the vote
on the application of the Portland & Scat
tic Railway Company for permission to
build a railroad bridge across the T illain
pttn In the vicinity of St. Johns. The
meeting will be called to order at
o'clock.
It is believed that the presidency will be
civon to Captain A. L. Pease, who has
loen acting in that capacity since the de
parturc of President C. F. Swlgcrt for
Europe. William D. "Wheelwright will sue
ceod Mr. Swigert on the commission, and
it has also been whispered about that the
honor may be bestowed upon the new
member.
The bridge matter will in all probability
afford opportunity for some lrcatcd dls
cusslor.s. inasmuch as all mcmbqrs are
agreed what kind of a draw to recom
mend for the proposed bridge. Captain A.
1. Pease being In favor of a bascule span,
whereas other members contend that the
ordinary swing span will be more suit
able, these members coinciding with the
views of the majority report of the com
mittee sent East to Inspect the various
types of bridge draws.
Commissioner J. C. Alnsworth Is expect
ed to return from California this morning
and should he do .o. It will be for the first
time in sevemi months that the board will
meet with a full attendance.
The action of the Port of Portland Com
mission on the bridge question Is not final,
as -the matter will have to go before the
War Jjepartment. but Its recommendations
are expected to have a strong bearing on
the ultimate result. The resolutions
passed last Saturday by the Chamber of
Commerce favoring the building of ' the
bridge as proposed by the railroad engi
neers. . and in accordance with recom
mendations of the majorit- report of the
committee that inspected bridges in the
East, were filed with the secretary of the
commission yesterday.

from the owners of the steamer Rcdondo
yesterday, authorizing the repairs of the
vessel at this port. Instead of taking her

Even Better
Than Frumenty
Old English Dish Is Now Surpassed
"by a Malted Grain Food.
Writing on the food problem and
advocating a rational health diet. Dr.
Joslah Oldflcld. author of "The Claims
of Common Life" and other well
known works, declares a sufficiency of
grain food Is necessary and refers to
the old English dish of frumenty as a
most excellent article of food. He
also speaks of malted grain as a food
for increasing years. This eminent
author thus strikes the very lteynote
of health and strength.
There Is a modem food which em
braces all the qualities of frumenty
and has even more, for It Is malted
grain. Wc refer to Malta-Vita all
pure grain and nothing1 else.
Malta-VUa, Is made by an extended
and elaborated process of the old way
of making- frumenty. The whole wheat
grain Is thoroughly cleaned, then
boiled In water and cooked in steam

gar, highly nutritious and easily di
gested even by the weakest stomachs.
Then each grain of wheat Is rolled
Into little wafer flakes and goes to the
great ovens, where, under intense
heat. It Is baked crisp and brown,
