TALKS OUT.
Doctor Talks About Food.

1t is often the case that doctors them
selves drift into bad habits of TODD and
drink although they know better, but
doctors are human, you know, like the
rest OF us. but when they get into
trouble they generally know better how
to get out of it, and the food route
Is common one among them.
DR.. II. Barber, of Laurel. Ind. con-
cluded that coffee and badly selected
food was the cause of his stoma ch
trouble. and his loss of weight from
1Si pounds to 153 pounds with nerves
impaired and general nervous break
down.
He did not give coffee up at once. but
began the use OF Grape Nuts and says
within month | could see a Won
derful change had taken place due to
the use of the new food. decided to
give up coffee and use Postum in its
place. So regularly for Il time | have
been on breakfast made up of Grape
Nuts. little graham bread. and Pos
tum Food Coffee. My weight has in
creased to la pounds. my stomach
trouble has entirely gone. and my mind
Is clear and vigorous as ever. Wishing
you every success I beg to assure you
Of my warm appreciation of Grape
Nuts and Postum"

PROTEST OF LAWYERS.
Object to Having Outside Man Appoint
ed District Judge.

The report that the President will
probably go outside of the District fol
man to fill the vacancy on the bench
of the Supreme Court of the District
is strongly disapproved by the members
of the local bar, and it is probable that
meeting will be held TO make formal
protest to the President within the next
few days.
II is argued that the appointment of
a lawyer from beyond this Jurisdiction
TO the local bench will be i'll advised.
especially at this time. owing to the
near approach of the summer holidays.
During the vacation period the justices
of the Supreme Court OF the District
take turns in holding court. If the new
Justice is from beyond the District, and
consequently unacquainted with the
practice in this jurisdiction. 1t is con-
tended that both counsel and litigants
will be greatly handicapped. The prac-
tice in the District is very different
from that in vogue in the States. and
for this reason the members of the bar
contend that the appointee should be a
local man.
Many of the most prominent members
of the bar were outspoken yesterday
In their opposition to the President ap-
pointing other than a District man to
the vacancy on the District bench.

RICHARDSON PREDICTS
EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Believes Session Will End
Late in June.
Isthmian Canal and Cuban Reciprocity
Legislation, He Thinks, Not to Be
Urged by Republicans.

Representative Richardson OF Tennes-
see, the Democratic floor leader. dis
cussing the prospects Of adjournment,
gave 1t as his opinion yesterday that
Congress would wind up with the Phil
irplne bill and the remaining approprta-
tion bills and adjourn the latter part %
June.
The record shows. said Mr.. Richard
son, that Congress has always, in the
long session, adjourned in June, except
when a tariff bill was under considera-
tion. And there is no tariff bill, he add
ed. to prolong this session into the dog
days. The few remaining appropriation
bills unacted on by the Senate. Mr.
Richardson believes. can easily be dis
posed of within few days. and when
they are out OF the way there will be
nothing to keep Congress in session.
In other words. Mr.. Richardson shares
the belief, which Is gaining ground
among the members, that the Republic
cans in the Senate do not intend to
press the Nicaragua Canal and the Cuban
bills to final issue this ses-
sion. but that after few days discus
sion they will sidetrack those two
measures until next December. II this
is done it viii bring about an adjourn
ment by the 25th of June.

HONORABLE DISCHARGE
FOR CIVIL WAR VETERANS
Bill to Correct Record of
Militia Regiment.
House Committee to Make Favorable
Report-Will Validate Order Made
by General Grant.

The House Committee on Military Af-
Eer of New Jersey. made a favorable re-
port on a bill to validate an order OF
President johnson granting an honorable
discharge to certain members of the
Twentieth New York Volunteers.
These soldiers were enlisted and mus
tered in on April 30, 1861. They were
mostly Germans from New Jersey who
had sought at the earliest opportunity
to enter the service of the United
States. and as no regiment was ready to
go from New Jersey, they had crossed to
New York and enlisted there. In the
following May they were handed over to
the United States service.
On April 29. 1868. their terms of enlist
ment having expired. 1913 of them
laid down their arms and handed in pc
titions stating that their terms of en-
listment had gone by. Consequently
they declined to serve any longer.
The officers held that. as the company
was not mustered into United States ser
vice until May 6, those who had declined
TO serve after April 30 were guilty of
mntiny in the face of the enemy, and
they were sentenced to be dishonorably
discharged and to be held as convicts
during the remainder of the war. Their
conduct was so good that they were al
most Immediately put upon parole, and
worked as pioneers in the field, and were
sent home on August 81. 1853
In 1866. on recommendation of General
Grant, an order was made setting aside
their dishonorable discharge and grant
ing them an honorable dicharge in lieu
thereof. This order has been held in
valid because the dishonorable discharge
had already taken effect. and the bill
will validate this order.
