Washington Letter.

Washington, D. c., Nov. g.
Reciprocit, is going to cut an OK
tensive Ggnrs in the debatns Of
the coming Congress. That much
is now certain. 1t is not necessar-
lily partisan political question,
but it may become such. In it are
also involved Constitutional ques
tion. Senators claim thatun less an
appropriation is required to carry
them into effect, tho House has
nothing whatever to do with .such
treaties. Members of the House
claim that being more directly
representatives of the people than
Senator'S they should pass upon
such an important commercial
question, in order to properly
protect the interests of their con
stitnents From recent uttsrances
of the President it is believed that
he will withdraw some, if not all,
of the reciprocity treaties that
were left unacted upon at the last
session of Congress.
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, Chief
of the Weather Bureau, is pro.
pairing a report, which will short
ly he issued, showing the ineffect-
iveness If the European method of
shooting into clouds to prevent
hailstonss and advising American
grape growers no, to waste their
money on such expenditures.
Rear Admiral Schley today
corrected his testimony before the
Court Of Inquiry aud answered n
few additional questions. and to-
morrow the argument .of council
will begin. Ex Senator Lindsay,
of Kentucky. voiced the opinion
of many unprsjudicsd observers
when he said: "The cross-exam
ination of Admiral Schley at, the
Court OF Inquiry appeared to he
most Infamous. l was surprised
that the court would tolerate 1t.
The rstrograde movement may bs
open to criticism, but l have al
ways been accustomed to judge of
the wisdom Of u campaign by it's
outcome. What might hr . bssn
a mistake Is immaterial, if it did
net effect the result. Aud have
ysu noticed that Capt. Clark, who
commanded the Oregon SO nobly
in that battle, has never been Civ
on anything but inferior assign
msnts since.

tatiol of contributions made by
the William Mckinley National

impossible "that President Roose-
welt can secure harmony between
the tive sections of his party ON
the reciprocity issue. and he may
not be able to do this on the ship
subsidy scheme. In QUO case, as
in tho other, selfish personal anu
corporate interests run counter to
tho general we'll heins of the
country, and to bring these two
together is about as easy a task ss

forests may clash with each other
and may run counter counter to
the general wsll-being of the
country. hut We fail to see how
an American merchant marine
capable of carrying our exports
to foreign lands at freight rates
from 80 to 40 per cent. lower
than foreign vessels tax us for do
ing the same service, can in any
way be inimical t. the general wei
fare of the country.
The proposed subsidy is open
to every man in America. Be-
cause Mr.. A, or Messrs. A, B and
G combined expend several mill-
ions in building vessels and by
their enterprise secure a subsidy
which insurss tham against loss
and which may actually yield them
a profit, Why should Messrs. ID.
E. f. complain, whs do not risk
any money in building ships ard
therefore will not receive any
subsidy! AS to the great mass
of the American people who could
not build ships no matter how big
tho subsidy was, they will he
benefited either directly by re-
ducsd freight rates if they have
anything to sell In foreign csun-
tries, or indirectly by the in
creased general prosperity resnlt-
ing from the keeping of millions
of dollars annually in American
pockets, which isnow sent abroad.
As for tho governments con
sidsration in the trans action it will
have secured a magnificent fleet Of
np-to-dats vessels which, under
the terms of the subsidy bill, would
he under the control of the adj
ministration in time of war.
Everyone seems to favor q mighty
navy, yet a mighty navy would
be of mighty little practical use,
without an adequate transport
service.
Another point which seems to
10 lost sight of, or is purposely
ignored by those who have no
argument to offer against q sub
sidissd merchant marine, save the
ssnssless and bascless cry of "sub-
sidy steal" is that at the end of
certain period, to be named In the
bill, the subsidy ceases. The
vessels built under the subsidy
scheme will by that time, it is
calculated, be able to stand alone.
The govern .nent will cease paying
out money to aid them, but the
American people and the AmerI-
can nation will own and control
the vessels, and 10 all probability
will by that tine control the COM
mercs of .ths world. Only yes

introduced in the Cham
ber of Deputies bill to grant
bountiss to Frsnch-bnilt ships,
which amounts to so per ce.t Of

CHEW FOOD.

Chewing Preserves the Teeth and
Helps Digestion
The finest specimens Of teeth are soon
in animals and human beings who chew
the food thoroughly
Dentists agree that teeth must be used
10 properly preserve them. and. therefore
they urge people to chew their food
thoroughly, but the nervous hurried man
uer Of eating IS altogether too common
among people, and when fed on soft
muslIes they are liable 20 swallow the
food without chewing
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the result
II this practice is coutint ed True one
can eat soft food without detriment if the
necessity Of chewing IS remembered
Grape Nuts food is so crisp and brittle
nd withal 50 pleasant to the taste that
the user can not forget to chew and Tins
the teeth get the necessary use and the
glands Of the gums are made to give the

Workers put q little sugar on oatmeal and

Grape-Nuts food is pre-digCsted and also
helps IN digestion of other food. The doc
tors plan might do for variety but
GraDe-NutS ard cream alone are conSid-

Three Gases Discovered Near

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 25--Three
cases Of smallpox have been discovered
at LarksviIEe, near here. and the people
are greatly alarmed. The victims have
been sick for week and have been visited
by many friends, but the fact that they
had smallpox was not discovered until yes
terday.
The houses have been quarantined and a
pesthouse Is being built. The patients all
live near one another.
