SENT HOME.
Physicians in Germany Send Patients
TO America for Food.

Two clerSymen. who went to Germany
last year for treatment by a noted special
list were told that they must use Grape
Nuts made in America. at Battle Creek,
Mich. for the principal part of each meal.
This suggestion interested the two divines
greatly, for while they knew of Grape Nuts
a:ld that there was a large use made Cf the
food in America. it had never come their
way TO try il.
A lady in Hedding. y H. Mrs. Otis Cole.
says the after effect of the grip was 3 seri-
Gus gastric and stomach trouble. All the
following summer she had many attacks
of palpitation of the heart nausea, pain.
faintness. insomnia and all the other ills
which accompany impaired nerve force and
indigo stiOn.
She began using Grape-NutS TO build her
up and found at once that the food created
disturbance, and she began to gain in
strength and courage. In October she went
for a visit and took GrapeNuts with her
to use each day. She gained ten pounds
in weight in about four months and fully
recovered her health.
She further says: While L am now en-
trely well, / shall probably adhere to
GrapeNuts during the balance of my life.

! tariff should he evident to any student of
| economic questions.
| The existence OF a monopoly depends on
| the ability of a combination of canitaI n
| control the output and distribution of g,
| commodity. That sufficient capital can be
combined to control commodity in tb,,
country We have seen; but there has NOT
been and ii does not seem there could h. :,
combination sufficiently gigantic to control
the worlds output of any of the great
neceSsaries of life
PROTECTIONISTS' ARGUMENT
In attempting TO refute the argument
that the tariff is responsible for trusts in
this country. it is declared that equally
great trusts exist in free-trade England
This is false. absolutely. There are in
England number of trusts. which con-
trol the supply of certain articles of COM
fnerce but none of these articles is a great
necessity OF life of the general production
The English monopolies are possible be-
cause the articles they control are of such
limited production that they have been able
to gain possession of the sources of supply
No monopoly can exist in great staple of
commerce where competition is open to the
world.
This being the case, it seems very clear
that monopolies in commercial STAPLES is
possible in the United States only because
competition is not open to the world and
the protective tariff is convicted of respon-
sibity. The first step. then. in an honest
attempt to correct the evils from which we
suffer, is to remove the protection the
tariff gives TO monOpolies and force them
INTO world competition
But the Republican party will NOT take
THIS step. The protective tariff is an inter
dependent mutually of greed. Let an at
tempt be made to remove the protection af-
forded one industry. and every industry that
feeds on protection VII cry out in pam.
Like Il flock of English sparrows that comes
nolSily to the succor of one that has emit
seu cries OF distress, the entire protection
brood VIII join IN "a chorus OF protest
against any change in existing tariff sched-
ules.

Washington. Dec. 25.-The Republic cor
respondent this evening called Senator
Vests attention to the dispatch from I.ouisi-
ana. Mo. saying that move is to be made
to secure his reelection to the Senate.
The Senator said that he attached no i'm
portance whatever to the story.
81 can only repeat what / have stated
several times he said. Il will not again
be Il candidate for the Senate. and can have
nothing to do with the move referred to-
The Senator dismissed the matter in this
brief but positive manner, and turned the
conversation to public questions.
on the eve of his retirement to private
life, after a long career of honorable and
useful public service. Senator Vest is in a
position TO discuss affairs of state and iegs-
Iative policy with an eye single to his coun-
try's welfare.
He declared that. overshadowing all 9TH
er issues in American politics, a revision of
the tariff schedules as a means of curbing
the growth of monopolistic corporations is
forcing itself daily on the attention of the
country That the leaders of the Repub-
lican party contemplate such a revision of
the tariff he does not for moment be-
ieye. The Democratic minority in Con-
gress. of course, cannot secure this result
This the Senator thinks, Is the iSSGe upon
which will be fought the next presidential
campaign now less than two years re-
moved.
SIBERIAN LAW INADEQUATE.
As a member of the Senate judiciary
Committee which gave form to the anti
trust Law OF 1899. known as the Sherman
law" Senator Vest speaks authoritatively
when he declares that in the enactment Of
that measure. Congress went as far as it
uas power to go under the Constitution. and.
as one of the authors of the law his words
also are entitled to consideration when he
declares that the law is inefficient and lack
ing in force under the rulings of the United
States Supreme Court
At his home this evening, Senator Vest
talked of matters he considers vital to the
than it recently has been and although the
burdens of years and sickness have left
their mark heavily upon him, his mind has
lost little of the vigor that gave its pos
SCISSOR rank as one Of the intellectual giants
of the Senate.
THE greatest menace that threatens this
country to-day said Senator Vest. .is in
combinations of capital that have mouopoIv
for their object. That these trusts. as thew
have come to be known, owe their being
largely, if not solely. to the protective
