in a manner that will make the party here

EVERYTHING
DEPENDS on Food.

How often the kind Of food eaten de-
termines a question Of future health and
happiness or even life or death.
"Our little girl when but five weeks old
had to undergo a very severe operation
which left her unable TO take her nourish-
ment in the natural way, that is by nurs-
ing, and of course she had to be fed. She
was naturally frail and the food did not
help her. At the age of eleven weeks she
was subject to a second operation and
from that time she continued to grow thin
ner and weaker until she was but a mere
shadow 40 writes lady Of Ohio.
"We tried many kinds of infant foods
and then the doctor directed us to try Grape
Nuts. We did 80 and at the end of the
first week noticed an improvement and
after that she began to improve rapidly.
AS we continued to give her Grape Nuts
she kept gaining until she is now more
than two years old and stong and healthy.
Her main food has always been Grape
Nuts and to Grape-Nuts she owes her life.
Naturally We are firm friends Of the food

BUCHANAN TO GO HIGHER UP.

President Buchanan of the International

in the unlikely event of a settlement OF
some kind being reached between Local
No 2 and the Iron League in the mean time,
will ask that the national unions in the

tion of Labor cooperate with Local No. in
its fight against the Iron Lea que for recog-
milton.
One conference between Buchanan's
committee and the Iron League has been
held, but nothing resulted. The strike
committee of the Iron League held long
meeting yesterday at the Building Trades
Club over Buchanan's request for final
conference. 1t is likely to be granted
Unless the present effort leads to recog-
milton of the Parks Local, a stampede Of
members to work is looked for. On the
existence or disbandment of Local No. also

Too Much Partisanship In Fight

Too Much Partisanship in Fight.
PROVIDENCE, R. l.. Nov. 5.-Bshop
Potter Of New York, who was in the city
yesterday to attend the Bishop Clark me-
mortal services, talked for a few minutes
with reporter regarding the Tammany
victory in the New York election on
Tuesday.
"The result of the election, !" he said, "was
to have been expected from the fact that
New York is, perhaps, more cosmopolitan
than any other community in the world
| and yet the traditions by which its affairs
have been administered have had a local
rather than cosmopolitan note during the
past two years"
"You hold the Low administration re-
sponsible for the success of Tammany?"
inquired the reporter.
"The Legislature is largely responsible
for the conditions that have prevailed
during the present Administration. and
because the city was being governed by
men 15omiles away, who were quite ignorant
Of conditions in the city, the voters turned
again to Tammany"
"You think the law has been adminis-
tered too strictly?"
IF n man works overtime on Saturday
and gets no wages until midnight on Satur-
day night he is apt to become dissatisfied
if he is not permitted to purchase what he
needs on Sunday without breaking the
law"
"You approve then, Of the election OF the
Tammany ticket"
"Oh, no, don't approve of it. because
l don't believe that the principles repre-
sented by the candidates of that party are
going to be for the safety of the city. The
people of New York are demanding popular
sef-governrnent. They are impatient of
ideas that may be very vrtuous, but are
imposed without due consideration of the
essential equities in the matter.
Il know that the Germans in New York
feel that way and the Italians. also, to a
certain extent, and there are other races
educated under conditions unlike our own
whose members chafe at conditions that
have been imposed"
'You would say that that was the principal
cause of the Tammany victory?"
THAT was one of the main causes.
Another cause was that the whole issue
in the campaign was fought out too much
on partisan lines. 1t is of no consequence
whether the Mayor of a great city is Re-
publican or a Democrat. 1t is of conse-
quence that he should be honest capable
and fair"
Has Low, in your opinion, fulfilled those
requirements"
Low has certainly been emin entity hon
est and capable, and desired to be fair, but
he is Republican, and New York is
Democratic city He allowed his associates
to emphasize the party too much"
you blame the Legislature to a great
extent for the failure of the fusion ticket?"
"Tes. the greater part Of the responsible
ity is upon the Legislature. A great
city like New York ought to be autonomous.
especially where laws are intended to
regulate their habits and tastes. The pre-
vaiing notion is perversion of Lincoln's
ideas Of a government Of the people. for
the people and by the people. When New
York is governed by a Legislature $50

act ion:
Il hear some Of my old Bryan friends
say they are going to vote for Roosevelt
because he does things. Now, the fact is.
Roosevelt does nothing except stir up
trouble and then go off and leave it. Grover
Cleveland is, perhaps, the last man for a
BRYAN Democrat or Populist to tie up WITH
but he at least is stable and has a fixed
purpose. and the country can tell what he
Is going to do next. We of the West may
expect no advance steps of reform from
Cleveland, but better that than to live on

no, am not Cleveland Democrat nor
Cleveland any hing, but If it is to be
choice of evils, give me Cleveland in prefer
ence to Roosevelt, and the reforms we
fought for in 1898 and In 1900 will come later
on They are sure to come sooner or later,
but not by the Roosevelt route--no, nor by
the Cleveland route either-but Cleveland
