Scranton, Pa, Dec. 6.-The conven-
ton of the American Federation of La
Dor disposed of considerable routine
business to-day. Two sessions were
held. The afternoon meeting was adj
journed an hour earlier so that the
committees which were announced by
President Gompers, could organize and
take up the work that has been laid
out for them. The overshadowing fea-
ture of the day was the able address
of Edward F. McSweeny, deputy COM
missioner of immigration at the port
of New York, on the sub
ject of immigration. He spoke
for more than an hour
and was generously applauded for the
great blIOQilb VI lIlOi IldIlOil bhcib hC
gave the delegates.
During the course of the two sessions
eighty eight resolutions were presented
and referred to committees. They
cover nearly every variety of subjects
that AFFECT workmen. One of taem
conveyed the sincere and hearty
thanks" of the Federation of Labor to
President Roosevelt for the position
he took in his message to Congress on
the question of Chinese exclusion. The
Committee on Credentials made an
other report on contested seats at the
afternoon session and the recommen-
dations were accepted, except in one
instance. There remain but two con-
tests to be acted upon, and they were
postponed at the request of the parties
interested.
Among the more important resoiu-
tons presented were these:
Denouncing WI Ting fang, the Chi.

remark that when the American people
are biased they are beyond argument
| and reason does not appeal to them"

A good wife out in Alta Ia, who
did not know which way to turn to
get food that would agree with her
husband who was left in a weakened
condition after a serious Illness and
could scarcely retain any food in his
stomach, was one day induced to try
him on Grape Nuts, the famous ready
cooked breakfast food and from the
first he began to improve rapidly. In
three months he had gained 30 pounds.
She says that his stomach has re-
covered so completely that he can now
eat any kind of food.
She mentions the boy Of an intimate
acotiaintace, who was so delicate and
thin that his appearance was pitiable
and he had no appetite for any ordinary
food. He was put on Grape-Nuts and
liked the crispness and sweetish taste
OF the new food and took to 1t. His inn
proyement began at once and he Is now
a healthy, plump boy.
Il know that Grape Nuts will do
more for weak stomachs than any
medicine. The claim that y VIII build
up and strengthen the brain has been
proven to my certain knowledge. Sister,
