Debated IN THE House
Speeches for and Against the River
and Harbor Appropriation Bill.
Representative Cntchings Replies TO
ity of mississippi improvements
Inland Water Route From Boston
TO Beaufort Inlet Advocated.

Consideration of the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill was continued in the
House of Representatives yesterday. A
vote on the passage of the bill will be
reached on Monday at o'clock. When
the House resolved itself into Committee
of the Whole yesterday for the purpose
of considering the measure, Mr.. Catchings
addressed the Chair in reply to the re-
marks made on Thursday by Mr. Hep
burn.
Mr.. Catchings replied at first to the
charge made by Mr. Hepburn that the
commerce of the Mississippi River is
much less than it was forty years ago,
and that it is still dwindling. The gen.
tleman from Mississippi produced facts
and figures to show the error into which
Mr. Hepburn had fallen. The character
OF the commerce, said Mr.. Catchings had
in part changed, because of the growth of
railroads in the Mississippi Valley but
the volume and value Of the rivers c m
merce had wonderfully increased, and
would continue to increase as the popu-
lation and commercial Importance of the
Mississippi Valley shall grow.
He took issue with those gentlemen
who contend that the flood waters
Of the Mississippi may be held back by
storage reservoirs at the head waters OF
the river The great floods, Mr.. Catch
ines maintained. did not come in great
part from the head waters of the Mississ-
ippi In reply to n question by Mr.. Mon
dell, Mr.. Catchings cited the reports OF
she Mississippi River Commission to prove
that tho building of levees does not raise
the bed of the rivers, thereby necessitatilg
tho continual heightening OF the levces As
the waters were confined between Ievees
the velocity of the current was increased
and sediment was carried to the Gulf
which would otherwise be dropped by the
river
Before closing. Mr.. Catchings alluded
to a newspaper attack made upon him by
the gentleman who has been chosen to
succeed him in Congress. regarding the
results of the speakers efforts during his
Congressional term in securing apprO-
priations for the improvement of the Mis-
| sssippi River in his district. Mr.. Catch
ings said he had never asked the Msss-
sip1 River Commission to allot cent
to his district, but since he came to Con-
gress, sixteen years ago, over four mil
lions had been expended in the district.
1t was probably his last opportunity, he
said, to enjoy the pleasure of standing
in this presence, and presenting the in
terests of the people of the Mississippi
Valley and advocating this great work
which he had so much at heart.
Mr.. Mann criticised the bill for not
making adequate provision for the i'm
proyement of Chicago harbor. That port
he said had the largest tonnage of any
in the United States. and it was not right
that 1t should be Disseminated against.

tion for 500, 900 for dam 81 on the Ken

The session of the Senate yesterday was

Mr.. Nelson gave an extended account Of

Physicians in Germany Send Pa
tients to America for Food.

Two clergymen who went to Germany
last year for treatment by noted spec
ialist were told that they must use
Grape Nuts, made in America. at Battle
Creek. Mich. for the principal part of
eacf meal This suggestion interested the
two divines greatly, for while they knew
OF Grape Nuts and that there was a large
use made of the food in America, it had
never come their way TO try it.
A lady in Hedding, n. H., Mrs. Otis
Cole, says the after effect of the grip
was serious gastric and stom-
ach trouble All the following
summer she had many attacks of
palpitation of the heart, nausea,
pain. faintness, insomnia. and all the
other ills which accompany impaired
nerve force and Indigestion.
She began using Grape-Nuts to build
her up and found at once that the food
created no disturbance and she began to
gain in strength and courage. In October
she went for visit and took Grape Nuts
with her to use each day. She gained ten
pounds in weight in about four months
and fully recovered her health.
She further says: while / am now
entirely well, | shall probably adhere to
Grape Nuts during the balance OF my
life Ny brother-in- law, practicing
physician, says GrapeNuts simmered in
milk, strained and the clear liquid given,
forms an ideal nourishment in cases Of

ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL.
Senator Proctor Believes a Vote Will
BE Taken Tuesday.

Senator Proctor yesterday stated that Il
vote would probably be taken on the
Army Reorganization bill on Tuesday, and
that a conference would follow.
The understanding in the House, he
said, is that when the Army bill comes
over from the Senate Chairmal Hull, OF
the Military Affairs Committee, will move
to concur in the Senate amendments and
thus run no risk OF delaying the bill in
conference. The President, it is said,
wants the bill passed at the earliest
possible moment and is willing TO accept
all the Senate amendments.
