a lifelong obligation by little food advice This
is worth while. Very thankful was to a friend
for his advice when he told me about Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food at the time i was suffering NY

colds, which caused catarrh Of the stomach; then
followed misery from dyspepsia, headache, loss cf
vitality and flesh
Last August L friend in discussing my health
said II Would change my food and take Grape
Nuts instead Of any other food medicine for one
week he would guarantee that would be greatly
improved and feel like new man.
He was so positive that l concluded 10 try 1t,
and, as said. am exceedingly thankful TO him
In a weeks time lost the heavy, dead feeling In
my head, nausea had ceased and the action of my
general system had greatly improved.
II have stuck fast to Grape Nuts. Now I weigh
nine pounds more and am steadily improving
Grape Nuts has a most exhilarating effect the
system and makes feel bright and alive, a,

Makes Appeal for Aid.

Charles H. Harvey of Ewingsville, N. j..
who called on Capt. Boardman yesterday
and related a story of strange experiences
during the past few days, as published In
yesterdays Star, called on the board of
charities today and asked for transporta-
ton home to his wife and baby. He made
this appeal after Capt. Boardman received
a telegram from the chief Of police Of
Trenton giving the information that rela-
tives could not assist the young man.
Harvey was unable to get immediate as
sistance from the board Of charities, and
he said he would let the agent know later
what he would do in the matter. Accord
ing to his statement, 1t has been nearly a
week since he sold some potatoes in Tren-
ton and left there with two strange men.

IT is SUBVERSIV.E
MILES GIVES HIS OPINION TO
SENATE COMMITTEE
In Regard to the New Measure for the Organ
ization Of q General Staff Of the Army
Calculated Principally to Allow Secretary
and Adjutant General to Promote Their
Friends.

Washington, March 81 Gen. Nelson
A. Miles yesterday told the senate COM
mittee on military affairs that if the bill
introduced by Senator Hawley at the
instance of the war department for the
organization of general staff of the
army should become law he would de-
cline to longer hold his commission.
The reason he gave for the statement
is that the bill is utterly subversive OF
the interests of the military establish
ment and he said he would not be a
party to such proceeding to the extent
of even continuing to hold his place.
The statement was made in the course
of prolonged hearing by the committee
which was conducted behind closed
upon variety of subjects connected with
which he directed his especial criticism
follows:
this act the senior general officer Of the
army budll Uc dSSlkuCu W COInulduu cuOAi
portion of the army as the president may
direct, or be detailed to duty in the gen.
eral staff corps. All duties prescribed
by law for the commanding general OF
the army shall be performed by the chief
of the general staff or other general Off
Ger designated by the secretary of war,
provided that SO long as the present lieu
tenant general of the army cotinues on
the active list he shall be the chief of the
general staff and upon the separation
from active service of the said lieutenant
general of the army said Office, except as
herein provided, shall cease"
His Direct Charge.
Warming up somewhat he asserted
that the bill was calculated to accomplish
no other purpose except to allow the Sec
rotary of war and the adjutant general
to promote the interests of their per-
sonal friends.
In the course of his remarks General
Miles told the committee that with the
bill law he could now name the men
who would hold the places of honor pro-
vided under it, but the committee did
not ask for the names.

WITH PERFECT CALM
Russia Not Worrying About An.
gIo.Japanese Treaty-Her
Views Exactly.

st. Petersburg, March 21.--The Official
Messenger, in publishing yesterday the
Franco. Russian declaration relative to
the Angl-Japanese convention, accom-
panies it with an official statement as
follows:
"The imperial government received
with the most perfect calm the an
nouncement of the Anglo Japanese
agreement. The principles which have
guided Russian policy since the begin
ming of the disturbance in China remain
and will remain invariable.
Russia insists on the maintenance of
the independence and integrity of China,
friendly neighbOring country, as well
we'll as that of Korea. Russia desires
the preservation of the status quo and
general peace in the far east by the con-
struction of the great Siberian road to-
gether with it's branch line through Man
churia, towards port always ice free.
Russia aids in the extension in these
regions of the commerce and industry OF
the whole world. Would it be to her
interest to put forward obstacles at the
present time?
"The intention expressed by Great
Britain and Japan to attain those same
objects, which have invariably been pur-
sued by the Russian government, can
meet with nothing but sympathyin Rus
STA, in spite of the comments in certain
political spheres and some foreign news
papers which endeavor to present in quite
a different light the impressive attitude
of the imperial government towards a
diplomatic act, which, in its eye, does not
change in any way the general situation
on the political horizon"

TO PUNISH NILES.
Stated the President Will Probably Retire Him
Before Long.

OCIoTC LVUy.
Washington, March 22.-The state
ments by General Miles before the SEN
ate committee on military affairs were
discussed by the president yesterday
with number of his callers.
There is little doubt that these state
ments will ultimately lead to Gen. Miles
retirement by the president.
In discussing the matter with his call
ers, among whom were senators and
representatives, the president took the
position that the lieutenant general of
the army should entertain toward his
superiors the same respect that he would
expect and demand from his subOrdi-
mates.
At the cabinet meeting the publication
relating to the statements made by Gen.
Miles before the senate committe yester-
day were brought up. but consideration
of them was postponed.
Whatever intentions the president had
with respect to the treatment to be &C.
corded Gen. Miles, his future action will
be somewhat influenced by the fact that
Gen. Miles statement has been repre-
sented to him as privileged.
The president proposes to read the tes-
timony given at the hearing and to con-
suit with different members of the COM
mittee on military affairs before finally
announcing what he proposes to do.
1t is significant that long after the
cabinet adjourned Secretary Root and
adjutant General Corbin were closeted
with the president.
The president is known to have stated
that he was tired of the friction in the
army, and whether it was decided that
General Miles statement was privileged
or not he will at no distant day take
action looking to his retirement.
