PLEASANT FOOD.
The Kind That Brings Health to Ole
Ace.

When people have ruined health by
the use of improper food, and then
change to the right kind and get we'll,
they feel like shouting it from the
house-toD.

low being who is suffering, the story of
my deliverance and persuade them to
avail themselves of the same means that

N. Y. Il am 81 years old. From earliest
girlhood it has seemed imperative dur
ing the waking hours for me to be con-
stantly at work. In the getting up of
my meals, the paramount consideration
was pleasing the appetite rather than
the preservation of health.
AS was to be expected, years of toll
and careless living resulted in the grad
val break down of my whole system;
I did not realize it until three years ago.

physically, that life was a burden. I

aches. accompanied by nausea terrible
to endure, sluggish liver and kidneys,
circulation weak, appetite gone, diges-
ton seriously impaired; 1 was on the
verge of total nervous prostration, and
my condition seemed hopeless
friend, who had suffered from stom-
ach trouble and indigestion, told me OF
the great benefit she had received from
Grape-NutS, and l decided to try the
food, and l am thankful for the impulse
that led me to do it. I began by using
three teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts soft
ened in milk three times a day In a
week, I was conscious of renewed vigor
My aches and pains lessened; the merry.
business disappeared; the fog that had
enveloped my brain and obscured my
memory was lifted, and in place of rest
less wakefulness, came refreshing sleep

AGAINST SHIP SUBSIDY.
Senator Vest Says Is Per Cent of Prize
Money Would Go to the International
Navigation Company.

Washington, March lin the
senate Monday the ship subsidy bill
was taken up and Mr.. Vest (Mo.)
made a speech against the measure.
He said that 70 per cent. of the sub
sidy on the Atlantic side would go to
the international Navigation COM
pany. The bill would take money out
of the treasury without giving any
value in return.
Mr.. Vest said there was no subsidy
paid by Great Britain to her ships
that dominate the carrying trade Of
the world. He could make the state
ment and challenge successful con-
tradiction that SO per cent. of the
carrying trade in the hands of En-
gland is done by her iron tramp
steamers who never receive a cent
from the country. The increased
mail pay given by England he denied
was subsidy for the purpose of ex-
tending her commerce but was given
for political and military reasons
from which she cannot escape. It
was an abuse of the word subsidy"
to call it such.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.


Washington, March 12.-The fourth
conference of the house republicans
on the question Of Cuban reciprocity
was fruitless like those that preceded
it, the conference adjourning at mid
night until next Tuesday. The ses-
sion was stormy one. Mr.. Sibley,
Of Pennsylvania, offered a COM
promise proposition for a reciprocity
arrangement to last until December
8, 1903, which he claimed had the ap-
proval and Endorsement of President
Roosevelt. He also said he had as
surances that If the house granted
q 20 per cent. concession the senate
would not increase it.

Mckinley PROMISED IT.
Reciprocity with Cuba President Roosevelt
Ii Determined to Carry Through asa
Moral Obligation.

Washington, March 1.-THE cab
met discussed at length Tuesday the
Philippine legislation, and the ne
cessity for preserving the "open
door" features of our policy in the
Philippines exactly as this govern
ment expects to have them pre-
served in China and through the
east.
The Cuban tariff situation was also
discussed. 1t is understood that the
effort to secure reciprocity with Gu
ba is an administration measure;
that President Roosevelt is carrying
it out in pursuance not merely of
the policy but of the promise of
President Mckinley and with the
most hearty belief in it as being
morally called for; that his admin
istration, like the administration the
policy Of which it is continuing, is
pledged to the relief Of Cuba.

GEN. LORD METHUEN.

British force numbered 1900 men.
The Beers captured all the British
baggage. Gen. Methuen is retained
as prisoner. The text of Lord Kitch-
ener's dispatch announcing the cap
ture of Gen. Methuen is as follows:
Pretoria, March 81 greatly regret to
have to send you bad news of Methuen.
He was moving with 900 mounted men.
under Maj. Paris and 800 infantry, four
guns and a pompom, from Wynburg to
Lichtenburg, and was to meet Grenfell
with 1900 mounted men at Roviraines-
fontein. Friday morning early he was att
tackled by Delarey's force between Tive
Bosch and Palmieteknill. The Beers
charged on three sides. Five hundred and
fifty men have come in at Maribogs and
Kraaipan. They were pursued by the
Beers four miles from the scene Of the
action. They report that Methuen and
Paris, with the guns. baggage, etc., were
captured by the Beers. Methuen,> when
last seen was a prisoner. I think this
sudden revival Of activity on the part Of
Delarey is to draw OF the troops press
ing Dewet.

remainder of the men. He reports that
the column was moving in two parties.
One. with the OK wagons, left Twe-Bosch
at three a. m. The other. with the mule
wagons, started an hour later. Just be-
fore dawn the Beers attacked. Before
reinforcements could reach them the rear
guard broke. In the meantime, a large
number of Beers galloped up on both
TANKS. These. at first. were checked by
the flank parties. but the panic and
stampede Of the mules had begun and all
the mule wagons. with terrible mixture
of mounted men. rushed past the OK wag-
ons. All efforts to check them were I'M
availing. Mai. Paris collected 10 men and
occupied a position a mile in front of
the OK wagons, which were halted. After
a gallant but useless defense, the enemy
rushed into the OK wagons and Methuen
was wounded in the thigh. Paris. being
surrounded, surrendered at 10 a. m. Me-
thuen is still in the Boer camp.
