Not after they wound her head up In a

In 1t, caught up TO them-but there was no

Sometimes we are pursued in other auto

the point in the air. You see? The tack
man sits in the back seat of our his.d auto

TINE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor tt
b Have.

A little widow, a neighbor Of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it would
not retain food of any other kind,'
writes a grateful woman from San Ber-.
nardino county, California.
l had been i'll and confined to my;
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth Of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little Widows advice
brought relief.
y 81 liked Grape-Nuts food from the
< beginning, and in an Incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 50
to ll3 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more SO when
they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had
brought the change.
Ny 4-year-old boy had eczema, very
bad, last spring, and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the ec-
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape Nuts diet did it. /

PUBLICITY FOR CHARITY
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES WILL DE-
NY ENDORSEMENT TO AMY BUT
WORTHY ORGANIZATIONS.

Detailed accounts and complete pub
Lefty will be required of every charit-
able organization, Incorporated or un-
incorporated, which seeks the indorse-
ment OF the Associated Charities. Fur
ther, the association will issue to its
members a periodical bulletin contain
ing the names of all organizations
which do not comply with these condi-
tions. The resolutions adopted are, in
part, as follows:
- The Associated Charities will not
cooperate with or indorse any organ
ization which does not keep detailed
and accurate account of it's receipts and
expenditures, and make the same public
at least once a year
Further than this the association will
not indorse any organization, however
honest and we'll meaning, whose meth
DDS are wasteful or ill-advised. In or
der to more effectually protect its mem
bers the association S bulletin will show
which organizations have complied with
these conditions and which have not.
This action, is in part, an outgrowth
Of the case Of the Christian Union,
which has just been dissolved by Judge
f. V. Brown, and has been taken to
protect the people of Minneapolis
against irresponsible, ill-advised and
dishonest. charitable organizations: As
the association includes within it's mem.
bership nearly all the heavy contribu-
tors of the city it probably will be able
to enforce the conditions.

New York, Jan. 25.-Mayor Nc
Clellan has had long conference with
D. Cady Herriek and former Controller
Edward NJ, Circuit. The three men are
deeply interested in plans to reorgan-
ize the democratic party in the, state
and arrange new combination Of lead
ers to control the next, convention.
A movement has been on foot for a
the state in a way that will leave
David B. Hill, Charles #. Murphy and
Senator p. M. McCarren, far in the back
ground in the convention and campaign
this year. The mayor, Mr.. Grout, Judge
Herrick, Martin w. Littleton and many
other democrats are very much interest
ell in the plan; in fact the four men
framed are supposed to be in full charge
Of it. They deny that they have a
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor, but if they succeed with their
plans Judge Herrick can have the nomi-
nation if he will take it, and if he de-
clines, Mr.. Circuit may take it.

Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 25.-The con-
fdential exchanges now going on in the
Moroccan conference here disclose the
difficulty Of arranging an agreement
that both France and Germany will
accept, despite the efforts of Henry
White, American ambassador to Italy,
who with others is striving to bring the
two nations together. The German dele.
gates put forward the attractive plea Of
disinterestedness and equal privileges
for all countries. The French delegates,
on the other hand, maintain that France
cannot be disinterested. They affirm
that, having followed an active policy
in Morocco for eight years and having
obtained numerous advantages, France
should not now be asked to take the
same position as all the rest Of the
world. t-S ---
France virtually enunciates in mod
fled form the princi pie of the Monroe
doctrine in northwest Africa. She has
acquired and holds a position toward
Morocco that, according to her view,
makes equal political influence with
| other powers impossible. On the ques-
ton Of economic equality she says
eyes, but on that Of political equal
ity she answers "no.' .-.-...
Germany insists ON political equality
with even more tenacity than on the
question OF economic equality.
Political Future Of Morocco.
The real struggle, however, is over
the political future of Morocco. France
would rather withdraw from the con
ference than tie up the political destiny
| Of Morocco by international control
| While this is not authoritative official
| utterance, it Enthusiastically represents
| the feeling of the French delegation
France refuses to be excluded from
what she holds to be the legitimate ex
pansion of her influence in northern
Africa. The French delegates appear t.
. realize, that the. current Of the confer
ence is against them because neutra:
powers, such as the United States, lean
toward the idea of disinterested equal
/ ity, rather than toward Frances special
geographical and historical para
mountcy.
France, therefore, may strive for E
negative result as far as political ques
tions go, accepting fully a Commercial
equality and joining in the effort tt
reach just economic conclusions, but re
sisting suggestions for the information
alization Of any Of the public services
| Of Morocco. -.. '~

In SALE OF READING

New York Jan. -He,ry G. Fries,
has sold out practically all his specula-
tive commitments in Reading common
stock alta profit Of at least $7,OO0,OOO.
Intimate associates of Mr.. Prick esti-
mated today that he had made even
more than that amount. According to
the story told in Wall street, Mr.. Frick
began to accumulate Reading when it
was selling below $50 share, about a
year ago. He accumulated altogether
$4,000 shares. In slightly more than
one year the stock advanced 100 points.
1t sold at 100 yesterday and Tuesday
sold up to 1853.
There is good reason to believe that
practically all Of Mr.. Frick' s commit

weeks. The prices brought for the 49,
900 shares ranged 100 points above the
prices paid Just year ago.

DEFENDS NEW POLICEMAN
Mayor Jones After Good Officers, Not
Politicians.

Opponent are protesting against the ap-
pointment of John Hang as police
officer. Mr.. Hang was until recently a
resident of Little Falls, and served as
alderman from the Third ward. He re-
signed when he came to Minneapolis. It
is commended that the mayor has no right
to appoint a nonresident to a public po-
sition and that a stranger can be of little
value as police officer anyway.
Mayor David P. Jones said in answer
that he knew that Mr.. Hang had not
lived in the city long, but he had re-
moved here and was a bona fde resi-
dent.
'Mr. Hang in my opinion is excellent
material for a police officer he de-
clared. "He has all that could be asked
with regard to appearance and physique
and his moral character is vouched for
by the best people of Little Falls. Hao
I been looking for political lieutenants
instead of policemen I might not have ap-
pointed him, but he was selected for, his
fitness" sd. IT,. - -,s..- s. 81. --....,..

that the recommendations of Mime
sofa and DR.. Williams for the mainte-
nance of the old rules Of the play with
in the 25-yard limit and the opening
up of the game between the two 25-
yard lines were favored by the coaches.

Camp was discussed but no agreement
had been reached after an hour s ses-
sion. .q .a.> 80
Coach Stages recommendation for
new set of rules also met with favor.

REQUEST OF RAILROADS

Opposition developed at the hearing
before the railroad commission today
on the application Of the railroads to
on livestock. The. application was re-
jected once, but reopened at the in-
stance Of the roads. At the hearing to-
day protest was received from the
Van Dusen- Harrington Elevator COM
pany. 1t cited cases where the mini
mum weight rule as it now stands has
worked an injustice, and objected to
any further increase in minimums. It
was shown that where shippers have
ordered cars Of small weight, the roads
have sent larger cars and charged the
correspondingly higher weight. =
There was a general discussion of
the question, and the commission took
the application under advisement. :
