pingers Falls a seven-foot iron pipe which
supplied the plan with water power was
swept away. The yard was flooded and

ANY ONE CAN
Prove the Value of Scientific Food.

good straightforward test of food
is worth much to humanity. The fol-
lowing is interesting:
Mr.. T. X. Durboraw of Greenfield, O.,
Isays: after 8 months sickness with
Igrip found had lost AZ pounds, with
little appetite and almost no digestion.
Wife finally put me on Grape-Nuts and
II actually lived on this food, taking it
three times a day, and a cup of
Postum Coffee at each meal for about
four weeks.
When l began I was so nervous and
weak that my strength was exhausted
|even by dressing, and, Of course, / was
unable to do the work loaded upon my
desk, but hammered away without
|any, tonics or medicines, only my diet
Iof Grape Nuts and Postum three times

|my nervousness gone, strength greatly
Increased and that / had gained 16
pounds.
Finally. after getting back to good
health again I, of course, took on diff
|ferent kinds of food. and, as a change,
began using--for breakfast After
a while some peculiar spells began to
appear in the morning with deathly
sickness and nervous lassitude. I took
treatment for biliousness but that did
not avail.
About a month ago l gave up the
for breakfast and took on Grape
Nuts again. These morning attacks
left me entirely in a day or two and I
feel that have had sufficient evidence
of the scientific value of Grape Nuts

57TH CONGRESS.
House Will Give Most Of Week
to Postal Matters.
Senate Will, Today, Take Up the
Frye Ship Subsidy Bill.
No Further Attention Probable on

washington, March 2-The House
Iof Representatives. win give most of
its time during the present week to
postal affairs, beginning, tomorrow,
with the bill placing the rural free
and following later with the post Of
lfice appropriation bill.
The rural free delivery measure has
laroused much controversy and there
promises to be an active debate, with
considerable doubt as to the passage
of the bill. 1t was the original plan
to make the change in the rural de-
livery system q feature of the post Of
/ fee appropriation bill, but as this
would have necessitated special rule,
the proposition was brought forward
lin special bill. 1t is expected that
debate on the bill which is to have
the right of way until disposed of, will
take about two days.
The post Office appropriation bill
contains items relating to subsidy for
fast mail, which are usually fruitful
| of much discussion. 1t is expected
that the appropriation bill will occupy
| all the latter part of the week, al
though next Friday is set apart for
war claims.
Aside from the regular House work
the Republican members will hold a
second caucus, Monday night, to con-
slider further the course to be pursued
on Cuban reciprocity.
| In accordance with yesterdays de-
cision, the Senate will take up the
ship subsidy bill, tomorrow, and it
will continue to hold it's place as the
unfinished business until disposed of.
There is, however, no disposition for
the present to press the matter to
the exclusion of all other business, SO
that it probably will be laid aside tenn
porarily at different times to permit
| the consideration of other matters, in
Guiding Senator Hoar's bill for the pro-
lection of the President against as

will be reported during the week and

eide to ask the Senate to take it up,
as he probably WILL The subsidy bill
will not be debated for so great a

Der of speeches on it, however. be-
fore it shall be allowed to go to a

Senator Frye, chairman of the COM
mittee on commerce, who will have
the bill in charge, will explain the
measure when it is taken up. Monday.
Senator Clay will address the Senate
from the Democratic point of view
and probably will be followed by Sem
|ators Turner, Vest, Mallory and other
Democratic senators.
Senator Turner has abandoned his
ANNOUNCED intention of reviewing
President Pro TEN Frye's ruling in
the Tillman- McLaurin contempt pro-
|ceedings and the present Indication is
that that incident will not receive any
further immediate attention.
