A LAST RESORT.

Pure Food Should Be the First.
When the human machine goes wrong
it's ten TO one that the trouble began
with the stomach and can therefore be
removed by the use of proper food.
lady well known In Bristol, Ontario
county, n. Y, tells of the experience she
had curing her only child by the use OF
scientific food: my little daughter, the
only child and for that reason douply
dear, inherited nervous dyspepsia we
tried all kinds of remedies and soft foods
AT last, when patience was about ex-
hausted and the child's condition had
grown SO bad the whole family was
aroused We tried Grape Nuts.
A friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children had
grown strong upon, so I purchased box
AS a last resort. In a very short time
a marked change in both health ard dis
position was seen. What made our case
easy w's that she liked it at once and

(By the Associated 1feSS.J
Washington, May S.-An account of DR..
w. D. Cruln's expenses was received today
at the Treasury Department. 1t aggre-
gated only $3.50 and was included in the
regular account of the Charleston office
Collector Crum has been informed by the
department that his personal fees and ex
penses cannot be paid at this time. His
attention is directed to the paragraph OF
the statutes which reads:
mo money shall be paid from the treas
ury, as salary, to any person appointed
during the recess of the Senate, to fill a
vacancy in any existing office, if the va
cancy existed while the Senate was in SEES
sion and was by law required to be filled
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, until such appointment has been
confirmed by the Senate
AS DR.. Crum was appointed collector OF
the port of Charleston while the Senate
was in session and the Senate failed to act
upon it; and as the President subsequently
named DIR. Crum as a recess appointee, the
treasury officials hold that he can receive
no money from the government as collector
for fees or expenses until his appointment
shall have been confirmed by the Senate
No fixed salary is provided for the collector
of the port of Charleston, who receives his
compensation in the form of fees and ex
penses.

The movements of Japan's warships, =
said the Minister, "are simply incidental
to our spring naval manoeuvers and are
devoid OF political significance as were

Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassa-

When the whole truth is known it

the argument of the negative and replied
to it in his able argument, this evidently
making deep impression upon the judges,
as the awards later indicated. He dWelt
upon the trouble caused by strikes and
upon their cost, this falling not alone upon
the parties engaged, but upon all who
we're in any way dependent upon them.
He showed that the evils of strikes went
far beyond the actual strike, but that the
result of these was an inconvenience to the
entire world, that the wheeTs of commerce
and trade were stopped, and that every
where there was trouble. Arbitration, en-
forced by national legislation, he declared
was the panacea for all the annoyances and
losses that came from them.
The final debater was Mr. J Houston
Squires, who spoke for the negative. His
argument ran along the same lines as that
of his colleague. He urged that arbitration
by the government meant the invasion of
individual rights and in strong terms
showed that it would interfere with the
free use of private property. He said that
it was matter that would be found to be
impracticable, and with great earnestness
insisted that it was opposed by both labor
and capital, and that these two co-laborers
could best settle all differences without ar
bitration as a national law.
Following the rejoinders made, in which
the counter arguments Of the contestants
were met and refuted as the views of the
speakers differed, the judges retired for
consideration. In their absence there was
music ard the debaters inspected and en-
joyed the beautiful flowers sent to them
by friends.
Then came the decision so anxiously
awaited The judges returned and for
their spokesman they presented Mr.. Ali
A. Thompson, who was to say what the
decision was as to the debate and was also
to name the debater who was to receive
the gold medal.
Mr.. Thompson made most interesting
talk in doing this. With rare tact he kept
the audience guessing as to the successful
side, and finally said that by unanimous
vote the judges awarded the victory to
the affirmative. as having presented the
best argument.
Then Mr. Thompson put the speakers
and the audience to guessing again as he
told of the deliberations of the judges con-
corning the best debater of the four AS
he proceeded first one and then the other
seemed the winner till in conclusion he
named Mr.. Arthur NJ. Dixon as the sue
cessful one, the majority of the committee
having so decided.
There was applause as the result of the
debate was announced and the losers com
plimented the winners. This was renewed
as Mr.. Dixon was most eloquently present
ed with the gold medal by Mr.. Thompson,
who in doing so said that largely because
he had shown skill in meeting before time
the argument of his adversaries the vic
tory came to him.
The debate was most successful one
and was conducted along able lines The
argument presented by both affirmative
and negative showed familiarity with the
question upon which argument was made,

Views of British Foreign Office.

London, May 9.-The, British Foreign
Office is without any official news of the
Russian action at New Chwang. The sub
ject has not been mentioned by either
the British Ambassador at st. Petersburg
or the British Charge d'Affaires at Pekin
The Foreign Office here also has not
been informed of any intention on the
part of the United States of cooperating
with Great Britain and Japan in a joint
protest. Such cooperation would be
warmly welcomed and would come as a
pleasant surprise to Downing Street, in
view of the State Departments declina-
tion hitherto to act Jointly with Great
Britain, though admittedly working for
a common object. In view of the vigor-
Gus protests addressed to Russia in TIC
interim the Foreign Office does not be.
lieve she is likely to take seriously ag-
gressive steps in the near future.

Never since the legation was established
