FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, Feb 2S.-For three
hours Senator Foraker held the atten-
ton of the senate while he read a
protest against any general rate leg
islation, on the theory that the exist
| ing Elkins law could be so extended
as to make it answer all requirements.
He did not fail, however, to point out
what he considered the defects of the
Hepburn-Dolliver bill and he made the
declaration that it would fail to
remedy the evils complained of. The
speech was followed by further dis
cussion of the railroad land grant in
Indian Territory, with the result that
Senator Aldrich's resolution extend
ing the tribal government of the In
dams was adopted after it was so
modified as to carry that government
over until March 4, 1907.
The treaty between the United
States and the Dominican republic,
under which the former undertakes to
collect and disburse the customs rev.
enues of the latter, was reported to
the senate in executive session from
the committee on foreign relations,
The committee reached an agreement,
all republicans voting for a favorable
report and the democrats against it.
A number of important amendments
were made by the committee. One
eliminates the authority given to the
/ 10
ceiye assistance from this govern
ment. The article now provides that
the United States may grant, upon its
own initiative, such relief as it de
sires. Two new sections were added
which are intended to more definitely
protect the United States in all mon
etary dealings with creditors of the
republic. AS it now stands the
treaty provides for the adjustment Of
claims against the republic of Santo
Domingo under supervision of the
United States; the United States to
take charge of the Dominican Gus
tom house, collect the revenues, pay
IS per cent to the Dominican govern
ment and withhold 55 per cent, the
latter to be used to liQuidate claims
against Santo Domingo, The United
States is authorized to preserve order
and increase the efficiency of the
civil administration.
Details of the provisions of the
army appropriation bill occupied the
house. Representative Townsend in
troduced bill to change railway bills
of lading SO that bankers and brokers
may accept them as collateral with
less chance of loss than at present.
The bill provides that bills of lading
shall be made to the order of the per-
son to whom they are drawn, instead
of mon negotiable" as at present.

Washington, March 6.-The question
OF the enlargement of the medical
department of the army occupied the
major portion of the time of the SEN
ate. The question arose in cOnnec-
ton with consideration OF a bill for
the displacement of contract surgeons
by physicians who shall be given the
rank as army officers. Senator Hale
criticised the bill as an entering
wedge for a general increase OF the
army. In the course of his remarks
he said that the general staff was dis
posed to encourage an invasion OF
China. Senators Carter and Gallinger
spoke in somewhat the same vein,
while the bill was defended by Sen
atOrs Warren, Blackburn and others.
The only speech on the statehood bill
was made by Senator Long, who adj
vocated the passage Of the bill.
The house began it's session by
passing the bill for relief of tobacco
growers by permitting them to sell
leaf tobacco without paying the tax
OF six cents a pound heretofore
charged. The balance of the day
was devoted to tariff discussion. Rep
reSentatiye Hull, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
introduced bill appropriating $780,
600 for the construction of a gov
eminent powder plant, to nave a ca
pacity of manufacturing 1000 pounds
of powder daily. Representative
Williams, minority leader, introduced
a bill appropriating $75O,OOO for a
government smokeless powder plant.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
like amount from them, or any one of
them, and If there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with little salt and yeast used
In the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at
all times to visitors, and thousands
pass through each month, inspecting
every department and every process.
Our factories nre so clean that one
could, with good relish, eat meal
from the floors.
The work people, both men and wo-
men, are of the highest grade In the
State of Michigan, and according to the
State labor reports, are the highest paid
in the State for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you Will
see when you inspect the manufacture
of Grape Nuts. You will find tremen-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains are carried through long
conveyers to grinding mills, and there
converted into -four. Then the ma
chimes make selection of the proper
quantities of this flour in the proper
proportion and these parts are blended
into n general flour which passes over
to the big dough mixing machines. there
water salt and little yeast are added
and the dough kneaded the proper
length of time.
Remember that previous to the bar
| ley having been ground 1t was passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into q
form of sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, it Is moulded by machinery
into loayes about Is inches long and D
or 6 inches in diameter. 1t Is put into
this shape for convenience In second
cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on
great steel trucks, and rolled into the
secondary ovens, each perhaps 20 or 80
feet long. There the food is subjected
to long, low heat and the starch
which has not been heretofore trans
formed, is turned into form of sugar
generally known as Post Sugar. 1t can
be seen glistening on the granules or
Grape Nuts If held toward the light,
and this sugar is not poured over or
put on the food as these prevaricators
lgnorantly assert. On the contrary the
sugar exudes from the interior OF each
little granule during the process OF
manufacture, and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out Oh the end of a hickory log after
1t has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most dlgestl-
Bile food known for human use. 1t Is
so perfect in its adaptabiity that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
little warm milk over two or three
spoonfuls of GrapeNuts. thus washing
the sugar off from the granuies and
carrying it with the milk to the bottom
