FOOD CHANGES PEOPLE.
Both Adults and Babies,

Babies can eat and thrive on the
same kind of food that their elders do,
when that food happens to be Grape
Nuts.
"Our little baby girl had spasms, A"
writes Mrs. Geo. B. Mobiles of West
Union, Ia. caused, the physician said,
by improper food. He advised a diet of
milk, but she did not gain in either
health, weight or brightness, and we
had to continually use physic.
I'VE were simply wild, hopeless and
miserable over our little one. For a long
time 1 had been reading of Grape Nuts,
and perhaps by inspiration l bought a
package and began feeding them to her.
After the second meal we used no more
physic, and have never used any since.
1t was wonderful to see her improve.
Her weight was 171z pounds at years;
now 1t is q pounds at years and 4
months. The doctor had fear for her
brain, the spasms having come from
her spine, but the continued use Of
Grape-Nuts has made her perfectly
well, and there is not a brighter child
in the state to-day than our little girl.
Everybody remarks about her beau
tiful complexion and her bright, witty
speeches. We are never now without
Grape Nuts and often think Of the aw-
fH period when we were in such des-
perate straits. IL can In any way In
terest others. am more than willing TO
tell them Al l can about Grape-Nuts."

ceeded beyond their widest expecta
tons, for the most generously inclined
critics pronounce it an abortion so far
as architectural attractiveness and
adaptability is concerned.
Neither the President nor any of the
members of the executive staff have a
good word to say for the new build
ing, upon which so much money has
been squandered There will probab bly,
be some loud complaints heard in Con-
gress when a deficiency is asked for
the Improvements around the White
House. 1t is easy to fancy what Uncle
Joe" Cannon will say when he is IN
formed that a little one-story build
ing, of red brick, painted white, squat
ting down behind a bush-covered hill,
in the west grounds of the White
House lot, which, judged by the quail
ity of material and workmanship en-
ployed, should cost not more than $751;
900 or $4,000, is to cost the govern
ment over $65,OOO, not including the
furniture.
The accommodations for the Presi-
dent and his clerical staff are no bet
ter than those afforded in the White
House proper, and the facilities for
handling official visitors are far from
being adequate. There is an atmos-
phere of hurried cheapness throughout
the entire building, lacking the digni-
ty and comfort which should surround
the Presidents workshop.

Jobbing trade has continued active,

the farmer, enabling complete farming
preparations and insuring a satisfac-

sides allowing the late cotton to ma

such as building, to progress rapidly.

Its Annual Gross Cost in the COun-
try VIII Approximate 1924, 600, 900.
Washington, Nov. THE annual
gross cost of complete rural free
delivery service throughout the United
States will approximate $24, 100000, ac-
cording to the report of August w.
Machen, the general superintendent of
the service. The remaining 100000
square miles not now covered by rural
free delivery service, according to the
report will require the employment OF
26, 900 to 27 900 carriers in addition to
those now employed, making the en-
tire force of carriers when the extern
sion of the service is completed within
the next three years, 10000
During the year 1902, II, 403 petitions
for the service were filed, making a
total on July l. last, of 22,646, which
exceeded by over 1000 the totalSnum-
her during the preceding four years. NJ
Machen says that to comply with the
demands of the people and of members
of Congress, the department will re-
quire an additional appropriation. 9TH
erwise further establishment of the
service will be deferred until July 1,
next. If these additional funds are
granted, $4,000 rural free delivery let
ter carriers will be in active service
by May l.
On July 1, last, the city free delivery
service embraced 933 cities, including
four in the insular possessions, and the
total number of uniformed letter car
riers in the city service was 1875 as
against 1889 the previous year. 1t
is estimated that the free delivery will
be extended to seventy-two offices dur
ing the current year.
1t is also estimated that the expen-
ditures will aggregate $21. 32S,3OO for the
maintenance and extension of city de-
livery service during the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1903.

The General Judiciary Committee of
the House this afternoon, after warm
discussion, decided to make a favorable
report on the anti-pass BILL introduced
by Hon. Joe Hill Hall of Bibb. This
is the first time Mr.. Halls bill has
been given a favorable report by the
committee, and much interest is felt
in the final result. The bill not only
makes it unlawful for any member of
the Legislature or any official or en-
ploye of the state to accept a free
pass or a ranking privilege from a
telegraph or express company but
makes it misdemeanor for any rail-
road, telegraph, telephone or express
company to supply free passes or
franks to such officials.
The General judiciary Committee
also decided to report favorably a bill
which will amend the law so as to re-
move all doubt of the eligibility of
Capt. Evan p. Howell, as Mayor of
Atlanta. Many held Capt. Howell in
eligible because he was a member of
Council. The bill will, if passed, re-
move all doubt on the matter.
The Special judiciary Committee of
the House to-day reported favorably
on the bill by Mr.. Harden of Chatham,
to provide compensation for deputy
sheriffs of City and Superior Courts.
The bill gives such deputy sheriffs a
salary of not less than $65 a month,

present.

OFFICIALS TESTIFY.
Railroad MaEnates Before Interstate
Commerce Commission.


Chicago, Nov. 7.-President A. B.
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
Railroad Company was the first wit
ness at the second days session of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day. He had prepared number Of
figures to show that the rates imposed
by that road were not unreasonable.
Mr. Stickney's testimony was to the
effect that while there was an appar-
emily large disparity between the rates
on live stock and the finished product,
yet the conditions of transportation
made the two rates almost equal.
President Stickney declared that all
rates are established on a basis of an
absolutely free market. and the inten-
ton of the railroad company is not to
hurt Chica go or to build up Kansas
City. The rate of 1917 cents on packing
house products, he said, was made af-
ter negotiations with large shippers,
and while the Great Western had Sc
cured the best rate it could arrange.
vet the one now established is not UNI
reasonable. He further asserted that
the live stock rate, all things consid-
cred, is not out of proportion to the
other.
w B. Biddle, freight traffic mana
ger of the Santa Fe road, who was the
next witness, took issue with Presi
dent Stickney in regard to rates on
live stock. He began by stating that
the rates established by his company
on packing house products are the
same as those of the Great Western
road, while on live stock it is only IL
cents compared with 23h cents as
charged by the Great Western line.
The witness said that the cost of both
was about equal, and that railroad
men generally recognized that rates
should be higher on the finished pro-
ducts than ON live stock.

BALLIETT SENTENCED.
One Year I'm Jail and n Fine of n
Thousand Dollars.

1hOuSano DOliarSs
Des Moines, Nov. fudge Munger
of the United States District Court to-
day refused to grant Letson Balliett,
known as the mining king" a new
trial, and sentenced him to pay fine
of $1,000 and to spend one year in the
county Jail. Balliett was convicted this
spring of using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. In 1900 he
purchased what is known as the
white Swan" mine in Baker, Ore,
which had been deserted by the origi-
nal owners, and Immediately began to
exploit the same through the newspa-
per advertisers and sold stock on the
monthly payment plan. 1t was shown
on the witness stand at the time of
the trial that over $1S0000 was received
by Balliett from small investors from
all over the United States. 1t was also
shown that not a dollar was expended
upon the mine, although representa-
tons were made to the contrary in his
advertising matter.
Baliett gave notice of an appeal.
The case has been tried twice and
has cost the government fully $4,000.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms of Very Common
TROUBLED:

There is no disease so common in the
United States as Catarrh because it
appears in so many forms and attacks
so many different organs.
1t is a common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose
and throat. Any Inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located
accompanied by abnormal secretions
is catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or
bladder, or intestines, is nearly as
common as nasal catarrh and much
more serious, although it is true that
stomach catarrh or other internal or
gans is the result of neglected nasal
catarrh
new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prepa-
ration is sold by druggists generally
under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
tets, and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient, possesses
eXtraordinary merit, in many cases
ewing immediate relief from the
coughing, hawking and constant clear
ing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is IA
miilar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are com
posed of Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar antiseptics and catarrh spe-
clHes' from which IL will be seen that
no secret is made of the ingredients
ahG also that no mineral poisons are
used as is the case with many well
AIoWn catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh Of stop1-
ach, intestines or bladder, no prepara-
uon is so safe and gives such rapid
amu permanent results as Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC for full
Nlze package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract
me cocaine or morphine habit as the
results from this catarrh cure are ap-
parent from the first days use.

elected sheriff and that the count
which showed the election of Thomas

county for the election. According to
a report from the Board of Election
Commissioners, between 2S4,O00 and

including the number destroyed, and
those wrongly stamped. Figures give
the total vote for sheriff at 294, 943
