Nebraska's democrats, whose leaders
and organs are waging an anti-railroad
pass campaign, have been invited by
their state central committee to send 991
delegates TO the state convention to in
dulge in the harmless pastime OF NOM
mating one candidate for supreme Judge
and two candidates for regent Of the
university. 1t goes without saying that
1t would be utterly impossible to find 991
delegates in Nebraska, even within
twenty-five miles of the state capital,
who would be willing TO pay railroad
fare to participate in that gathering
Manifestly the only democrats that are
expected to go will be railroad pass
men, who will cheerfully be allowed ia

who are not able to procure passes
Democrats who sincerely desire 10 break

long as they run their band wagon in

Desertions from the United States army
In the five calendar years ending Decem-
Der 81 last aggregated 1906 according to
the forthcoming annual report Of the Judge
adYcate general The percentage has kept
up steadily since then, with the result that
the rapid Increase in assertions is democrat
izing the service.
The number of court-martial convictions
for this offense in s per cent Of the posts
Of the United States during the last year
was 2071. The percentage of court-martial
convictions has greatly increased in the
last year, but even that fact does not seem
to check the evil. In the Department Of
the Lakes convictions have increased Is
per cent and similar conditions prevail in
the Departments of Missouri and Califor-
mia.
Commanding officers have urged the War
department to take radical measures to
stop assertions, which have become a mat
ter of keen anxiety to officers every
where.
The number OF assertions in the Philip-
pines has been much less than in this
country. This is accounted for by the fact
that soldiers deserving in the Philippines
cannot hide long in Manila and the men
prefer to remain in the service rather than
take to the wids of the islands and live
among the natives.

ure of efficiency and health hat have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ing.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
I finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. l quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts of
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, l have always
had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
Il was delighted to find also, that
whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food l was quite and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
l am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me
to a sturdy condition OF mental and
physical strength.

Young birds should never be taken

about their feeding habits in captivity.
and once taken and reared it is moth

happy, yet they will never have
learned to find their own food. and If
given their freedom the following fall

A mother, noted for her original
ideas, showed me how she was plan
ming for her little girls pleasure and
satisfaction in the years to come.
Il remember" she said, how I
used to question my mother rs to
what l did, how l looked, what she
did when she was a little girl. How
disappointed l used to feel when the
reply came: Why child, 1 don't re-
member; it was so long ago. So,
when my baby came, I determined to
be able to crafty her curiosity along
these lines"
Then she showed me a book, filled
with many examples of her own
gowns labeled, "Mama's graduating
Dress" "Mama's first silk dress"
"Mama's wedding gown" etc.
But the most interesting book or
set of books, was the baby's own au-
photography, illustrated with amateur
photographs. 1t was written as if the
baby told the story, giving her inn
pressions Of this world and her sur
roundings. It contained photographs
of her Christmas trees, of her first
birthday cake, etc. What work." l
exclaimed. But the little mother said:
What pleasure for my baby"
Then another idea of this wise
mothers is the starting of a chest for
this wee maiden. In it are all the
valentines, Easter cards, and gifts of
all descriptions that are keepable. She
has told all her relatives to give the
baby things that she will appreciate
in later years, not to spend money
on toys, SO this year-and-a-half old
baby has handkerchiefs, embroidered
towels, d%oilies, wash cloths, spoons,
forks, etc. Each valentine, Easter,
even May day, brings a contribution
to this young maiden's chest. When
old enough to have her own room she
is to use anything from her chest that
pleases her fancy.-Exchange.
