Separate Bill for Structure
to Cost Two and a
Half Millions.
ON PRESENT BUILDING SITE
Measure Will Probably Be Reported
Shortly From the Senate Commit
tee On Public Buildings and Grounds
Mr.. Wilson's Plea.

1t is probable that a separate bill for
4 new Agricultural Department build
ing will be introduced this week by
the Senate Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds.
The svndry civil bill contains a pro-
vision for preliminary appropriation
to pay for plans for building 10 be
located On the Mall between Tenth and
Fourteenth Streets, but tho committee
believes shat separate bill provid-
Ing for tic erection OF the building
should be passed.
1t is Understood that the bill will
make an appropriation OF 80 500 600 Tor
building OF white marble in classic
design on the site Of the present struc-
ture. which IS considered to be the best
on the Mail OF account OF its clcva-
ton.
Secretary Wilson appeared before SEN
ator Fairbanks committee recently and
made a strong argument in favor OF
building for his department. He said
that the Government Is spending 10000
in rent for the department, and that
valuable records are Unsecured against
FIRE IN the present nonfre proof struc-
turo.
II was decided two weeks ago that
the agricultural Building should be pro-
vtled Tor la the omnibus public build
inG bill, but Senator Fairbanks finally
decided 20 frame a separate measure.
The present Congress is one Of the
most friendly toward the Agricultural
Department of recent years. and ii is
believed that the bill will have good
chance Of passage.

JUMPED ABOUT.
Until He Found the Right Foed.

What a Hades some people go through
because their food does not supply the
right kind OF nourishment to the body.
Take the following example:
A gentleman In Baltimore says
About two years ago began to exper-
fence q peculiar depression occasionally
with pains in the back part of my
head and down along the spine. Grad
ually my eyesight began to fail and my
memory grew poor. A general nervous
ness set In. ! used all the will power
could command to help myself, but was
forced TO give up good position and
seek the advice of the family doctor.
He said neurasthenia and sent me to a
great nerve specialist. So for four
months | was msssaged and dosed with
medicine, but all 70 no benefit; then
went TO New York and consulted DR..
-. He sent me 10 another great
specialist and he in turn sent me TO
- Sanitarium. where | stayed for a
long time.
ut was the same old story. was
dosed with medicine and massaged and
bathed. Finally LEFT there and went
to another specialist who told me
would only live a few months. This
rather frightened me. and ! placed my
self under DR.. -. He said the stom-
ach was at fault. and probably | had
not been given the right kind OF food
"IIe put me on n certain line of treat
fnent and insisted that | use three or
four teaspoon!uls of Grape Nuts each
meal ! was under his care for several

bodily vigor.
He explained TO me that Grape Nuts

of potash. nerve and brain food, and
that the food being partially digestod
the system could make use OF 1t easily
AT any rate ] got we'll and both the
doctor and myself know that Grapefruit
made II possible.
II sincerely believe that practically
all OF our nervous troubles are caused by
Imperfect noSrishment. II was fortunate
for me that could get such food as
Grape Nuts. You can use this letter,
but don't publish my name. please"

Called on for
Facts.
The COMMITTED MIKES DEMAND
Building Not Completed After Seven
Years = Contracts Extended Months
Beyond Reasonable Time-Biliboard
Maintained About Premises.

The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds Friday passed
resolution calling on the Secretary of
the Treasury to transfer to the Housc
copies of all contracts entered into by
him relating TO the public buildings
now being constructed in Chicago and
a memorandum Of the total amount Of
money paid under each contract, tcgethcr
with information as to whether any
penalties for the non completion Of any
contracts for the said public buildings
within the time specified in the con-
tract have been incurred. enforced. or
waived.
+ The resolution was introduced by Rep
resentative Mann OF Chicago. and is the
direct outcome OF the dissatisfaction
felt in Chicago over the length Of time
which has been consumed in the build
ings Of the Chicago postofIice.
Provided for Seven Years Ago.
Seven years ago Congress provided for
a new postoffice in Chicago. and the
Chicagoaps resolved to show the rest
Of the country that the complaints re-
gafding the slowness of construction Of
public buildings were due to the par
ticular qualifications of the individual
communities.
They maintained that Chicago would
construct a public building as rapidly
as a private building. but held that In
order to do this it would be necessary

customed 10 handling the erection Of
large buildings for private uses, should
be employed. In pursuance OF bill
passed by Congress to this effect. Mr..
Cleveland appointed Henry Ives Cobb
architect. at the salary Ct 81 SEQ a rear
and gave him large office force.
Exterior Not Yet Completed.
Over six years have passed AMI the
exterior OF the building is not yet com
pleted 1t is charged that contracts
have been let in which the time for their
performance was extended months be-
yond a reasonable period. that con-
tractors have been permitted to fall
behind in their contracts and no penal
ties enforced. and that for nearly seven
years the sidewalk around the building
which is in the heart Of the business
portion Of tne city. has been cut off from
public use by a billboard. One of the
reasons given Cor the maintenance of
this billboard is that IL is alleged t.
be the property of a relative of Sena-
tor Mason
While the city postofIice has been
under construction a number of other
private buildings have been begun. com
plcted. and are now occupied. In che
same locality The residents Of the
Windy City are very much disgusted
over the POOR showing made in this con
nection.

Senator Teller Predicts a
Prolonged Sum-
mer Session.
MANY IMPORTANT BILLS PENDING
Legislation Recommended by the Pres
ident Will Be Enacted-Hot Weather
Unlikely to Shorten Program-Cam-
paign Material Needed.

According to the veteran employees of
the House, the adjournment of Con-
gress is by no means in sight.
The number of important measures
now pending in both houses of Congress
is sufficient to keep the national law
makers busy for the next two months.
But there is always one contingency.
however, and that is hot weather.
II the weather should. within the next
ten days, take squirt and force tho
mercury to the ninety point or there
abouts. 1t is not improbable that tho
Republican leaders would get together
and change the existing program for
the consideration OF measures already
agreed on.
The Senate Decides.
The date of adjournment is really
with the Senate. The Republican lead
ers, II they decide to abandon several of
the bills the President wants consid
cred at the session. can bring about an
adjournment OF the session by the lat
ter part of June.
There is no occasion for delay on DC
count Of the appropriation bills, and the
Philippine bill can be rushed through
the House under a special rule reported
from the Committee on Rules.
To adjourn by the latter part Of June
however. means the postponernent until
next session OF at least a dozen i'm
portant measures, every one of which
will be discussed on the stump during
the campaign this fall
Senator TeIer's Prediction.
Senator Teller, who is a shrewd OBJ
server and thoroughly familiar with the
inside workings Of the Senate. express
ed the opinion yesterday that the Re-
publican Senators would carry out the
Presidents wishes regarding the canal
and the Cuban reciprocity bills. which
would mean a continuance OF the ses-
sion until the latter part Of July or the
LIST Of August.
