BAD HABITS
Improper Food often Leads to To-
bacco and Drink:

Improper food creates abnormal tastes
and there are many cases on the medical
records where the liquor habit and to-
bacco habit have been caused by wrong
food and have easily been cured by the
use of the scientific food Grape Nuts
which so thoroughly nourishes and re-
builds the nerves that they stop the cry
for stimulants.
A business man says: For 80 years I
smoked on an average of 10 to Is cigars
a day and then my nervous system col
| iapsed and I had about made up my
mind that it was all uD with me for l
had tried many times to break off from
the tobacco but it always failed.
Last May was so run down I only
weighed Ill pounds and 1 realized that
[ must stop smoking and stuck to it for
about 10 days but was SO nervous and
out of sorts my family told me 1 had
better go back to smoking as it was i'm
possible to live with me. 1t was Just
about this time my wife brought q pack
age of Grape-NutS on the table one
morning and as 1 could eat nothing else
she induced me to try little of that. So
l took a teaspoOnful of it and strange to
say it tasted good and by the time I had
it down 1 knew it had gone to the right
spot so 1 took some more and it was the
first food 1 had relished for weeks.
so I kept up the use of Grape Nuts
and as my appetite came back added
| other foods and am now' back to my
cid weight of 133 pounds never felt bet
ter in my life and strange as it may
seem have no further craving for the
tobacco and I thoroughly believe that
only the courage and ambition I got out

the strength to quit smoking. If every

ence in the rental be made up by a sub
scription from the interested parties.
The G.. A. r. people also again became
involved with a protest against the re
moval from their building for fear they
would lose the money they had put into
the fixtures and possibly be tenantless
for some time At this juncture the
senator was called upon to endorse for
the position of postmaster one of the
applicants, the competition having mar
rowed down to the then mayor, Jacob
Fisher, and the editor of the Hastings
Tribune, Adam Breede. An under
standing was finally reached by which
Fisher was to receive the appointment
of postmaster on condition that he pur-
chase the postoffice fixtures belonging
to the G. A r. post at the price which
it had paid for them, and it is said that
he also agreed to reimburse the senator
for the difference by which he had been
compelled to reduce the rental from his
original figure of $1,000 in order to meet
the offers that had been made on behalf
of a location at the other end of the
street The difference of 5000, it is said,
was to have been made up in equal
portions by the postmaster and deputy
and it is alleged that it was paid for
few months and then. when the sena-
tor discovered its questionable charac-
ter the money was returned to Post
master Fisher and Deputy Francis.

FISHERS SIDE.
His Friends Explain Transac-
ton With Senator Dietrich.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1-The indict-
ment of u. S Senator Charles Dietrich
and Postmaster Jacob Fisher of Hast
ings, Neb., on charges of bribery and
conspiracy in connection with the APP
pointment of the latter as postmaster,
was a subject of extreme interest in
Omaha today. At the federal building
small groups of government officials,
employees and others gathered to dis
cuss the subject. u. S. District Attor-
ney W. S. Summers, who has conduct
ed the case for the government, re-
fuses to talk of the matter. or even to
see reporters. The details of the post
mastership transaction at Hastings, as
given out today by Mr.. Fishers friends
are as follows
1.-The postohice at Hastings up to two
years ago was located in building
erected by the local post of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. Previous to in
stallation in this building it had been
in other quarters and successive post
masters had furnished the pOstOffice
fixtures themselves. The Grand Army
of the Republic bought the fixtures for
$500, and their use was included in the
government lease. About three years
ago considerable effort was made to
secure better accommodations for the
postof1ce business, the contention be
coming one between the opposite ends
of town. Senator Dietrich who had
then just been elected governor. had
put up a new building near the G. A.
r. building, and anticipating removal
of the oostoffice, took up the matter
with the postoffice authorities during a
visit to Washington. A lease was
agreed upon subject to more specific
terms but the negotiations We're not
concluded until after Governor Diet
rich had been elected United States
senator. In the meantime property
owners interested in the other section
of the city made counter offers at re
duced rentals, and in order to hold 1t
in the vicinity of his property a lease
was finally drawn and signed at a
rental Of $1,000, emitting the require
ment Of the owner to furnish the fix
lures
Believing that he was renting his
property for less than it was worth for
the postoffice. holding the postoffice fol
the benefit of the surrounding property
owners, it was suggested that the differ
