Good Work by Travelling Man.

Good Work by & Travelling Man.
"A travelling man, Mr.. Julius c. Meyer,
OF 175 Fairlawn Street, Cleveland, mas
cured number Of his friends of stomach
troubles, dyspepsia, bowel complaints,
ETC., by urging the use OF Grape-Nuts
BREAKFAST food. He says:
IA business man. a friend Of mine, was
so run down that he left his business
several months because he could not eat
enough to supply the strength required
to work. After spending hundreds oil
dollars In Journeys to mineral springs Tor
baths, in medicines. attendants, etc, with
out success, recommended iGTape-Nuts
food, and at the end of thirty days he
told me he never enjoyed better appe-
tite was never more energetic or felt
more like work shau then. This change
came around entirely by reason of his
leaving Off the ordinary food and using
principally Grape-NutS at his meals. he
said he would not be without the focd at
a dollar a pound.
"a lady friend of my wife was suffer-
ing SO with dyspepsia that she was COM
PEELED 10 give up her work. as no food
would stay on her stomach for five min
utes The doctors told her there was no
hope for her ever enjoying food of any
kind. She started in on Grape-Nuts and
used nothing else for about three months.
when she was completely cured and ready
to attend to her business. She takes
Grape-Nuss with her every day. She
satd ito my wife: Had it not been for YOU
and Grape-Nuts 1 surely would have
died. shall never forget your kindness
to me
I'm my own family we have used the
food tor about a year constantly, and
have all enjoyed Better health since Its
Introduction. 1t has done us more good
than we ever expected to set from a,
food
There is a deep. underlying reason why
Grape-Nuts food cures people of dys-
pepsia and builds them UP into a fine con-
dition of health and strength. Certain
principles are distracted from the grains
and made up into the food known as
Grape-Euts. producing powerful. con-.
centrated food that gives certain and
we!l-defned results. The proof is in the
eating. There are hundreds OF thousands l

AS TO my personal travelling expenses, 1
have visited Paris before the present, just
twice, in the performance of my official
duties. since my appointment twenty
months ago, at a cost TO the government
of less than $500, instead of the large
amount published. which probably referred
to travelling expenses of the heads of de-
partment and experts in the United States
and TO Paris. We have been obliged to
collect our exhibits in every part of the
United States, involving. necessarily, con-
siderable travelling expense to the corps of
experts. This does not apply to any other
great nation, their territories being COM
paratively small and near Paris and saw
ing large freight expense. Yet, the appro-
priation Of the United States is less I'm pro-
portion to our exhibit areas than the
amount provided by any other great ma
ton. There has been most conscientious
economy practiced throughout"

WASHINGTON, April A.-Secretary Root
made statement to-day in reference to
the charge that extravagant allotments
had been made to the principal army off,
GERS in serYice in Cuba for the maintenance
of their establishments out of the revenue
of the island. He said that about a year
ago. before he came into office, representa-
for army officers to live on their salaries
in Cuba. The question of providing for the
extra expenses out of the revenue was
suggested by Secretary Alger, and the at
torney general was called on for an opinion
on the subject The latter held that there
was no legal objection to such procedure,
and his opinion was then approved by the
then secretary of war. Secretary Root said
that allotments were made at that time in
accordance with the attorney generals
opinion and they have since been con-
tinued In response TO a direct inquiry he
said that allotments for extra expenses
had been made to four officers, namely,
the military governor of the island, the
military governor of the city of Havana,
the collector of the port of Havana and
the treasurer of the island. The secretary
said he did not recall the exact amount
of allotment in each case, but that alto
gether they did not exceed $4,000 or $4,000
year. In answer TO another question
Secretary Root said that Colonel Black.
the engineer officer at Havana, did not
receive any extra allowance, bat that he
certainly was entitled to ii. Although
showing that the plan was fully approved
it was originated by his predecessor. Sec
rotary Alger.

speaking of society and social relaxation
he turned his attention 10 the Senate. and
life therein. He denied that the Senate is
a "Millionaire's Club" declaring that the
great majority of senators have nothing be-
yond their incomes. He continued:
