REBUILDING FOOD
Some Wonderful Things Food Can Do.

What continued use of improper
food will do by upsetung the nervous
system seems almost beyond belief and
it's just as surprising to see how a
simple change from poorly selected
food to good nourishing food will end
all of these ails. A Chicago man says:
MY nervous system became so shat
tered that whenever 1 looked at NOV
ing object my right eye turned out to
the side, my speech was suffering, the

pimples and I was constantly ashamed
of my appearance.

bad state and 1 took medicine for this
for a year, but only got worse. I was

enough nourishment until in my ex-
perimenting I gave the food called
Grape-NutS a trial. This seemed so
different from the rest. it seemed crisp
and full of nourishment and ate it
with cream for breakfast as well as
dessert after the other meals Almost
Immediately my nerves began to get
stronger and steadier and sounder and
1 felt as though a great change was
going on within me-

JAPANESE STATISTICS.

From the New York Commercial.
In forty years only Japan has been
entirely metamorphosed. In brief
half-century she has taken her rank
among the Powers of the world and has
adopted in it's entirely the most adj
yet not fully established in Central
and Eastern Europe. That important
French newspaper. the Gazette Com
merciale Of Paris, links the foregoing
facts with the present strange specta-
Gle of Japan defying Russia. The same
excellent authority furnishes the fol-
lowing figures:
In 1873 the population of Japan was
about $4,000, 900; the census of 1900
showed 1896, 900 inhabitants; therefore
argues the Gazette, Japan can dispose
of heavy military forces based upon
economical resources. which 1t is es-
eential to understand in order to grasp
clearly the position that Japan is
bourd to fill by the very force of things

port at the next session of Congress
proposed legislation for the develop
ment of the merchant marine on ship
subsidy lines. This line of procrasti-
nation will meet with considerable OPP
position from the Democrats in Con-
gress, who are opposed to delay and
who, furthermore, object to Congress
abrogating its functions in favor of any
commission whatever, because they
know the history of such commissions
almost invariably shows that their
work has been both useless and eX-
pensive. The present low ebb OF the
shipping industry has been brought
about by want of adequate laws for
its encouragement, in default Of which
American shipping and consequently
American shipbuilding has been prac-
tically destroyed Since 1860 merchant
ships flying the Stars and Stripes have
greatly decreased until at present they
have almost disappeared from the high
seas. This very manifest want we con-
slider that to-day more than 80 per
cent. of our exports and imports are
carried in foreign bottoms. This, l say,
is to our shame. This crying evil must
be remadied.
To Build UP Merchant Marine.
"Our country is foremost among the
nations Of the earth in nearly all lines
of commercial development and pur-
suits except in its ocean merchant ma
rine; and I am pleased to note that
the patriotic pride-not to mention
business sagacity-of the American
people is at last asserting itself and
is demanding legislation at the hands
of Congress that will enable our mer-
chant marine to regain its former su-
premacy and glory"
Mr.. Sulzer condemned ship subsl-
dies and said that a free ship bill
was an irnpossibility in any Congress
having a Republican majority. He
therefore fell back on discriminating
duties in favor of American ships, OF
which he said:
"In my opinion 1t is the most feast
BILE, the most practicable. the most
honest and the most popular way of
aiding the merchant marine This
policy of discriminating duties was in

Madison and Endorsed by Monroe. 1t

dustry in the early days of the re-
public. 1t received the Endorsement
of the Republican National Conven-
ton Of 1896 and William Mckinley
favored 1t in his letter of acceptance.
Leading thinkers, and writer's upon
the subject throughout the land, ire

favor of it, as it is absolutely non
partisan, strictly American and Is to-

Passage Occur Between Senators
in Debate.
Washington, April 12.-The Senate to-
day was the scene of a sharp colloquy
between Senators Teller and Hopkins,
growing out of the reading by Mr.. Tel
Ter of letter written by the late Gen.
H. H. Thomas of Chicago, attacking the
civil service administration of the
Treasury Department.
Mr.. Hopkins took exception to the
quoting of the letter and declared that
the Colorado senator would be willing
to accept authority from the slums."
whereupon Mr.. Teller declined to yield
further. declining Mr.. Hopkins refer
ence to the slums to be insulting.
The incident occurred in connection
with the discussion of the postoffice APP
preparation bill. That measure was I'M
der discussion during the first half of
the session, and was passed. all amend
ments offered by the Democrats being
voted down.
Mr.. Germans amendment providing
for the appointment of a commission to
investigate the affairs of the PostofTice
Department was, on motion of Mr.
Lodge, laid on the table, 40 to 10. The
division was on strictly political lines.
Mr.. Teller presented an amendment for
an investigation committee composed
entirely of senator's He charged that
Republican senator's were unwilling 20

rich interrupted with denial and Mr..
Teller repeated his statement that no
investigation was wanted.

but not for any one else" Mr.. Aid
rich replied sharply, and Mr.. Teller
responded by saying that every reso-
luton looking to an inquiry had been
voted down.
Can the Senator of his own knowl-
edge make a specific charge of mall
feasance in office that has not been in
vestigated?" Mr. Aldrich asked.
Mr.. Teller replied that it was evil
dent to all that there was corruption
in the Postoffice Department that had
not been uncovered, and that the Re
publicans were afraid to let in the
light.
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was agreed to. The
bill providing a form of government
for the Panama canal zone was taken
up and read and amended, but the
debate upon it had not begun when the
Senate adjourned.

Dear Sirs-our little daughter has
been greatly benefited by the use of
Ozomulsion. She did not seem to thrive
in growth, and nothing that we did for
her seemed to do her any good. She
did not eat with any relish and was
losing flesh. In this condition we COM
menced to give her Ozomulsion with
most remarkable results. She gained in
flesh and strength from the very outset
of the treatment. Her appetite became
very much better and now she is as
healthy a child as one could find.
We found Ozomulsion very beneficial
for coughs and colds, and for children
it is especially desirable by reason OF
its pleasant taste. Our little daughter
loves the taste of Ozomulsion, and this
makes 1t easy to give to her.

budgets and taxes. The income tax is
a source of revenue; the indemnity
paid by China produces 100000 yen
annually. This is an important item.
We may conclude that Japan will not
be able to meet the expenses OF pro-
longed war without resorting to loan,
there being but little room for any in
crease Of taxation. Japan is greater
importer than exporter Of cereals; SILK
and cotton are the principal branches
of japanese expectation. There are L.
1924, 900 head Of cattle, and 1,942,000
horses. Japan has always been an in
dustrial country. She is rich in min
erals, especially in coal and copper.
There are numberless manufactures of
paper porcelain, silk, cotton, ivory, oil,
straw, paint and clothing, which help
enrich the empire of the rising sun"
To show the strides her commerce
has taken in ten years 1t may be said
that in 1891 her imports were 90,100,000
yen in value; in 1901 they amounted to
2l9, AIS, 900; the exports rose from H.
276,000 to 255,475,000 yen in the same
period. In forty years Japan has as
simulated, and in some features even
improved upon, our system of banks
and Insurance, police, public health
and charities, administration Of justice
both civil and criminal, public wor-
ship, transportation, highways, posts
and telegraphs. A glance at her SPLEEN

relates TO education discloses the fact
that Japan has 1886 primary schools
with 72,1s2 teachers and 4,683.59S pupils;
secondary schools first grade), 217
with 3,726 teachers and n 1894 pupils
normal schools, 81, with 95S teachers
and 1853 pupils. There are 1893 technl-
cal schools, with 1884 teachers and 49,

and 1927 miscellaneous schools, with

with 1868 teachers and 11,344 pupils;
annexes--teachers 2,254, pupils 22,24s.
To these must be added, 45 scientific
schols, 10 for the deaf and dumb both
public and private; public asylums for
children and public libraries. Truly
magnificent showing" observes the
Gazette.
The revenue derived from the above
was 81, 617, 5SS yen and the expendi-
ture q, 905, 1853 yen or a surplus of
about so per cent. '"The people that
can show such results must possess
great inherent worth and have great
future before them, in view of the
deadly inertia of China" our French
contemporary says: such results are
superior to those in many European
states"
There are 500 newspapers published
in Japan, and the production of books
In 1896 was 25576 titles. There are sSS
