SENATOR BARKSDALE'S BILLS.
Senator W. =. Barksdale of Halifax,

here Sunday night. Since being here the
Senator has probably talked with five
hundred friends. and TO all Of them he
has given some ideas regarding measures
he intends 10 fight for next winter. lie
was one of the ablest men in the last
Senate. and has been doing much think
ing since the body adjourned last March.
Senator Barksdale. on the first day
Of the session. will offer a senatorial pri-
mary bill, drawn on the fines of the one
for which he made a strong fight last
year. and 1 am going to win this year. -
he said yesterday. with an air of firm
conviction.
AS stated I'm the Dispatch some time
ago, Senator Barksdale will also intro
duce an antitrust bill. modelled on the
law now in force in Ohio and other
States, He thinks the state. and not the
General Government, should deal with
trusts, if at all possible

Senator Barksdale says he will also Of
fer a law similar 10 the one on the sta
tute-books of New York, requiring candi-
dates after an election 10 make oath TO
the correctness Of the accounts required
TO be filed showing the amount of their
campaign expenses, and that these ac-
counts should be published in specified
newspapers. "ln my section OF the state
said Mr. Barksdale, money was used III
the spring elections in the most unblush-
ing manner. 1t is evident that the present
law is insufficient, or q dead letter, and
that some radical measure will have 70
be adopted TO cure the evil" Senator

claring that they have neither used MOI

Discussed Below

The question Of obtaining high grade
food at a moderate price IS OF interest
to every housekeeper and provider.
Some food is so bulky that even at a
very low price per pound the actual food
value Is so little that IL is really eXpen-
sive: on the other hand there are con-
centrated foods, like. for instance the IA
nous breakfast food known as Grape
Nuts" that sell AZ Is cents per pound
but WELD in food units so much value
that but little OF the food should be used
at a time. and in realty, when properly
used. the expense Is about one cent per
meal.
II is q common mistake 10 use too much
of the food Grape Nuts. It's taste is
crisp. with the delicate sweet flavor OF
Crane sugar. and one is inclined TO eat
double the proper quantity. lady writes

Using the food in this way, some fami-
los might be impressed with the cost

family in prime condition or heaith' AT d
moderate cost. is very much more Pioh'-
