President Roosevelt completely won the
hearts Of the foreign delegates to the inter-
national suffrage conference, which has Just
closed at Washington. He appointed time
for Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Ohio to
bring them to the White House and instead Of
receiving them in the public room devoted to
ordinary visitors, he had them shown directly
into his own private den. his holy of holes. B"
He greeted them with warmth that delighted
them, and found something pleasant to say
TO each about her country.
To Miss Vida Goldstein OF Australia he said
that he had had several Australians in his
regiment in Cuba, and had found them first
rate men. He asked which Of the Australian
colonies now gave women vote. Miss Gold
stein answered that women already had par
lamentary suffrage in south and west Aus
tralia and in New Zealand, and that within 4
few months they would have national suf-
frage throughout Australia under the new
federal constitution. She said, II think this
will be a great object lesson President
Roosevelt answered, Il think so, too" He
added that he was watching the legislation Of
New Zealand with especial interest.
One of the ladies told Mr.. Roosevelt that
they felt as if they knew him already, partly
from his picture, partly from the writings Of
Jacob A. Ris. The president answered, Mr..
Riis Is the finest American citizen in New
York. But he Is not Norwegian, he is q
Dane," he added turning to the Norwegian
delegate, Mrs. Gudrun Drewsen.
To the Swedish delegate, Mrs. Emmy Evald,
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had not known until
recently that in Sweden women had been
allowed to vote in the state church the Luth-

them, "Well, I am glad you camel with a
heartiness that showed it to he no mere per-
functory phase. 49,
Knowing that Mr.. Roosevelt had voted for
woman suffrage in the New York legislature,
and had recommended it in his inaugural mes

ladies came prepared to love him, in advance;

Mr. WeisskoDf. who refuses to observe the
carry closing rule OF the clerks, could not
see the humor in the situation and sent a
hurry-up call for police. When they arrived
at the, corner. the scene was lively one.
Workmen returning from their daily toll

CLARK A SQUARE SPORT
Senator's Son Spells a Conspiracy to
Defraud POOlrO0ms of
.- Butte.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, Feb. Pin an effort to
locate conspirators, big job to defraud
the Butte pool rooms on the Oakland
races became public today. The job was
conceived in Butte, and engineered by a
we'll known professional man,
The report on one of the races was de-
layed on the plea that there was trouble
on the Frisco wires, and the result was
then telephoned to Butte from Salt Lake.
In order to make the job financially sue
cessful it was necessary to take some
Butte capitalist into the scheme, and the
conspirators decided on Charles w. Clark,
son of Senator Clark.
The young man is a game sport, but
a. square one, and the proposition stag
gered his sense of honor. He pretended
to go into the scheme, however, and put
up several thousand dollars on three
horses that ran one, two, three in the
race. -.
The oonspirators put up several thous-
and more, and when Mr.. Clark satisfied
himself that the job had been carried out
as promised by the conspirators, he ex-
posed the whole plot to the pool room
proprietors and held down his bet. He
had stood to win about $4,000. The pool
room men still hold the money of the
conspirators.

COULDN'T DO 1T.
Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out Of
sick bed is worth knowing Of. A Chicago
lady writes, II want, to tell of a positive
cure Grape Nuts Food has made in case
that was considered almost hopeless. p.
l know you do rot look upon Grape
Nuts as a medicine but, inasmuch as the
food certainly does build UP worn out sys
tens, it seems to me it is closely allied
to tonic. Now about the cure.
Last spring dear girl friend fell ill
and was taken to one OF the hospitals, but
weeks before entering the hospital she
had been able to take nothing but milk to
nourish her: all other foods distressed
the stomach 50 much. that she tried to
live on the milk alone.
The doctor in the hospital endeavore
to keep her alive with broth and either
food, but her stomach refused to retain
anything but milk, and very little Of that
at time.
I worked away at the resident physician
until he consented to my taking her home
to see what the change would do for her
The; poor child was so very weak and
nervous and frail that 1 felt quite du
bous about the outcome; nevertheless l
knew enough about Grape-Nuts Food,
which intended to give her, to feel that
it would bring her out. After she mad
rested little while warmed some milk
and poured it over a tablespoonful OF
Grape Nuts and persuaded her to take it..
She did so with fear and trembling, for
she did not expect to keep the food down.
After giving her the food l started to
read her story, and although it was an
interesting one, she fell asleep. When
she finally awoke her first words were,
Did I really keep the Grape-Nuts?',
She had kept them but could scarcely
believe it. After two or three hours I
gave her little more with the same good
result Gradually and cautiously l in
:, creased the amount until after few days
she was able to eat q saucer full with no
bad effects.
She lived on Grape Nuts entirely and
gained strength so rapidly that she soon
recovered, and now. recommends Grape
Nuts to all her friends. She says she
would be glad to have anyone who is
suffering from stomach trouble write her,
and she will tell what Grape Nuts Food
has done for her, and how grateful she is
to the man who had the forethought to
-nranutac ture a food already digested SO
that weak stomachs can take it. Her
name is Lille NJ. Gestabt, 4416 Wabash
avenue, Chicago.
A Clergyman of our acquaintance eats
dish of Grape Nuts before preparing his
sermon. l asked him once II he got IN
spirat1on from the food. He said, Not
only that, but it seems to clear my mind
and make my 'thirdlys and fourthlys
come much more quickly Just think
about ones stomach not having to think
about digesting Grape Nuts at all; they
have done the digesting themselves, and
all we have to do is to tickle the palate
by swallowing them" This same gentle
man assured me that ne would rather dis
pense with any article of food oncthe table
than Grape-Nuts.
We eat the food regularly; with some
times "a little fresh or canned food added
We call IT. our tonic My husband joins
in thanking you heartily for It's manu-
facturc.'
