NEW THEORY ON
Cause of Hay Fever.

Hay fever is not so much a result of eli
matte conditions as it is a showing of the
weak spot" in the general condition of
the body. II a hay fever sufferer can be
fed up to prime condition of health by
the use of well-selected food. the chances
are the hay fever will not present itself.
As an Illustration, a lady in Cave
Spring. Ga, explains how the change of
found myself in Il very low state OF
health and much emaciated. got down to
ninety-five pounds and was worried espe-
cially as l had to look forward to my an
nual tussle with hay fever in September.
and felt it would push me even further
down.
One day a friend told me she had been
using Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food and
that she felt like a new person, with
greatly increased strength and vigor |

Grape Nuts. The effect was really mag

month began in earnest to gain flesh and
strength. By September my weight had
increased to 110 pounds. and Islch to my
amaZement | discovered that when the

together Inasmuch as had suffered for
years from this miserable disease and

Those who are contemplating the pur-

saw there quite a number of pianos and

he ascertained that this is the season OF
the year usually selected to close out all
the slightly used pianos-rental pianos

nual sales. the main desideratum being to
make as much extra space in the ware

HURT DURING FOX HUNT.
Lady Constance Mckenzie Badly Bruised
at Aiken.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 22.-Lady Con-
stance Mckenzie, of Scotland, was hurt
at Aiken this morning when the horse
she was riding to hounds fell and rolled
on her. She will be compelled to remain
out of the saddle for several weeks at
least.
The occasion was the last run Of the
season for the Hitchcock hounds. The
large field gathered at $50 in front CT
the residence of W. C. Whitney and then
rode away to the Whitney game preserve.
where they took the trail OF wild fox
The chase was fast and exciting and was
greatly enjoyed by all present.
The hounds were making hot pace across
stiff ground when the horse, leggy thor
oughbred, which she has ridden on every
hunt this season, fell in taking a slight
gully. Lady Constance was taken COM
pletely by surprise as heretofore the
horse had proved unusually sure footed.
and was unable to throw herself out of
harms way.
The horse rolled over on her. For n
few minutes she was unconscious. but was
soon revived. II was found that no bones
were broken. but some very severe bruises
were sustained. She would not listen to
her friends. and insisted on mounting and
riding home. although she was unable to
continue in the hunt.

John L. Burnett Confirm
ed as Representative
From Alabama.
JUDGE RHEA MAY BE UMSEATED
A Vote to Be Taken Tuesday on Recon-
mendation of Elections Committee to
Seat Mr.. Moss in His Place-The Argu-
ments.

The House yesterday confirmed the title
in the Fiftyseventh Congress from the
Seventh district OF Alabama.
The House then entered upon she dis
cussion of the report of Elections Com
mittee No. /. recommending that John S.
Rhea, Democrat. sitting from the Third
district OF Kentucky, be unseated. and
J. Mckenzie Moss, Republican. seated in
/ his place. vote on the report will be
taken Tuesday next
An Unpleasant Task.
In opening the case upon behalf of
Mr.. Moss. the contestant, Mr.. Mann de-
ciared that no. partisan prejudice had en-
tered into the decision reached by the
| majority 1t was an unpleasant task, he
declared. to render decision unseating a
member CT the House.
In the course of his remarks, Mr. Mann
said there was nothing in the record which
in any way reflected upon the high char
acter of Judge Rhea the contestee The
committee had decided only on the merits
of the case.
Contestant Received Most Votes.
No technical question, he asserted. de-
cided the case. but the committee recon-
mendcd that Mr.. Moss be given the seat
solely because more votes were cast for
him than for Mr.. Rhea
The returns upon which Mr.. Rhea re-
ceived the certificate gave him 1e, 500 votes
and Mr.. Moss 1894, giving both candi-
dates all the votes to which they were
entitled. The committee finds that Mr.
Moss had 1858. and Mr.. Rhea, 1851. The
original ballots were exhibited by Mr.
Mann, and they were examined with much
interest by many members.
An Appeal for Judge Rhea.
Mr.. Burgess tDem.. Texas) followed Mr..
Mann in support of Mr. Rhea's claim to
the seat. He made a very forciblc argu-
ment, which commanded the attention of
both Republicans and Democrats.
He said that the only question before
the House was as to the validity of GER
tain rejected ballots and their admissible
Ity as evidence. and that the committee
in reaching its decision had overridden
the Court OF Appeals of Kentucky.
Bound by Statutes.
In determining this question he said
the House was bound by the statutes of
Kentucky and the decisions of the Court
of Appeals of that State constituting those
statutes. regulating the manner of hold
ing elections and determining what is a
legal ballot. In this view. Mr. Burgess
said. any judicial mind was forced to the
conclusion that the ballots contained in
the record were not identified as having
been rejected by the officers of the cleo
tions. and the conclusions of the major
ity that these ballots were rejected was
mere assumption unwarranted by the
law and facts.
The majority resolution was advocated
by Mr.. Smith (Rep.. Iowa., and at the
conclusion of his remarks at AIS o'clock
the House adjourned until Monday next.

MILES Case UNDER
PUBLIC LIMELIGHT
Politicians Fear Effect Should
He Be Retired.
ACTION MAY BE DEFERRED
President Known to Be Intensely Dis
pleased Over Occurrence Before Senate
Committee-Has Full Power to Act
General Denies Political Aspirations.

There was a lull in the Miles case yes
terday, but there existed no dearth of
comment on the episode and upon the
probable action of President Roosevelt.
The fact that he was extremely angry at
the statements made by General Miles
became positively known. 1t was also
ascertained beyond doubt that the Presi-
dent has decided that General Miles shall
be retired, but that it shall not be done
at this time. A member of the Cabinet
mot Secretary RooD is authority for this
statement.
The political effect adverse to the Ad
ministration of the retirement OF General
Miles at this time as a direct result OF
the incident at the Capitol the other day
is too great to be risked.
President Roosevelt. 1t is understood
intends to wait until the present high
state of public feeling has died away to
a certain extent, and then to retire Gen
eral Miles, as he is privileged to do any
officer between the ages of sixty-two and
siXty-four wears.

TO PROBE IMMIGRATION.
President Promises Thorough Investi-
cation of the System in Operation.

President Promises a Thorough Investi-
CATION of the System in Operation.
A rigorous investigation of the entire
immigration system, which will probably
result in the wholesale decapitation OF
officials in that branch OF the public SER
vice. Is being made by President Roose-
welt.
He has already determined to retire Mr..
T. V. Powderly, Commissioner General OF
immigration. Frank P. Sargent will prob
ably succeed him.

who learned a great deal about the immi-
grafton service when he was a member of

ally. believes that 1t is absolutely ineffi-
cient. called at the White House yester-
day.
In his pocket he carried copy of a
resolution which he intends to introduce
in the House. 1t provides that the Com
mittee on immigration and Naturalfza-
tior. of which Representative Shattuc is
the chairman. shall thoroughly investi-
gate the immigration system
Mr.. Livingston wanted to find out Just
now far the President was going with the
investigation he has now under way. Mr..
Roosevelt assured his visitor that he in
tended to make the investigation thorough
and exhaustive.
Upon this information Representative
Livingston has decided that he will not,
for few days at least, introduce mis- res
olutlon- Later on it is probable, how
ever, that he will ask Congressional ac-
lion.
Mr.. Livingston says that in an investi-
cation some time ago by the Treasury De-
partment officials twentyone counts were
found against an official and that h.. is
still holding his position.

GEN. WOODHOPESFOR
LARGER TARIFF CUT

Afterward they went for long ride in
the country.
General Wood is of the opinion that it
will be some time before the influence
of the United States Government. as rep
resented by certain officials. both MILL
tary and civil. can be withdrawn from the
island. He thinks that a force of $500
men should be maintained in the island
for some time after Palma's inaugura-
tion OIL May !. On this date the evacua-
tion of the American Government will
begin.
The Cuban Congress.
AS to the meeting of the Cuban con-
gress in April, General Wood explained
that this question would form a part Of
the subject to be considered by the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War. When it is
decided that it is time for the congress
to meet, a proclamation will be issued
convenng It and the members viii then
scrutinize each others credentials. They
will then examine President Palma's Gre
dentials and the government will be ready
to go ahead
OF course President Palma may make
changes IN the personnel of many of the
Offices in the island but General Wood Is
satisfied that when the government is
transferred there will be no trouble in
having competent men to conduct the bus
mess Of the government. He considers it
advisable that a representative of the
Government OF Intervention be appointed
TO Cuba 10 remain a short time after the
transfer is made. In fact such a repre-
sentative will have to be appointed to ar
range for treaties to be made with Cuba.

Senator Allison. chairman Of the sub
committee on the Philippines will sub
nit to the full committee on Monday a
plan fer. coming new silver dollar Tor
circulation in the Philippines to replace
the Mexican dollar now the money stand
ard of that country in order that stability
may be given to the medium of circula-
tion. and cur trade conditions improved
generally in the East.
Although not member of the Philip
pines Committee. Senator Teller of Col
orado, representing the Finance Commit
tee, took the place Of Senator Dubois as
the Democratic member of the subcom
mittee. He has examined the details Of
the question with Mr.. Allison. The propo-
sition has had the approval of all the
members OF the full committee. who have
had the advice of the ablest Senators on
both sides of the chamber.
Political Significance Suggested.
An attempt has been made to give polit-
ical significance to the decision of the
committee to incorporate Senator Alli
sons report in the bill soon to be re-
ported to the Senate, providing the de-
tails for a permanent for of government
for the Philippines. This seems TO be
unwarranted by the facts
The statement has been made that it
is proposed TO open the mints OF the
United States TO the unlimited coinage
of silver for use in the Philippines, and
that the result viii be the conversion Of
all the silver States TO the Republican
party.
Members of the Philippines Committee
say, however, that their decision TO leave
the money standard of the Philippines as
il is al present, simply substituting an
American coined silver dollar for one
coined in Mexico. viii have no such ef-
feet, and that the question is not politi-
cal one in any sense.
The committee plan provides for the
coming OF an American Filipino silver dol
lar, ZIG grains. nine-tenths fine. to take
the place of the badly minted Mexican
dollar, which now, because Of its imper
fecticns, passes by weight instead of by
its face value as stamped by the mint.
II is thought that 1t would be much wiser
for the United States TO fix this dollar
as the standard of value in the Philip
pines. passing as it will side by side with
the English coin kno&n as the Bombay
dollar. than to disturb all trade condI-
tions in the East by attempting to adept
the gold standard
The Coract Plan.
The question aas been under considera-
fion all winter. and Secretary Root was
originally in favor OF the plan recon-
mended by Charles A. Conant, who went
to the Philippines as the special COM
missioner of the War Department. Mr.
Conants plan provided that an American
Filipino gold peso of the value of half
dollar, like the theoretical gold yen
which is the unit Ct the currency in
Japan, should be made the standard of
value. but that a silver American-Fil limo
peso. containing a small per cent less
silver than the Mexican dollar, should
be coined, which would be receivable in
business transactions as the equivalent
of so cents in United States money, to-
