HOUSE BILL TO MARK CONFED-
ERATE GRAVES.
Supply Bill Is Passed After the De-
feat of Several Big Items on Points
of Order-Applause for Confeder-
ate Bill.

At Washington, ID. c., the house
Thursday passed the army appropria-
ton bill, also the Foraker bill provid-
ing for the marking of the graves Of
confederate dead buried in the north.
The discussion developed an unani-
nous sentiment in favor of marking
confederate graves, and as the bill had
during the last session of the military
committee received favorable action it
passed unanimously amid applause on
both sides OF the house.
Points of order made to the provi-
sions for cableship for the Atlantic
coast and to a shop for mine planting
on the Pacific coast eliminated those
The alleged powdertrust came in for
a scoring in debate and Democratic
endeavor to have the government be-
gin the manufacture of it's own powder
consumed some time, but met defeat
both on points Of order and finally by
direct vote.
The army bill as passed carries
something more than 100000, 900.
Mr.. Underwood, of Alabama, made
a plea for the creation Of a confeder-
ate memorial commission of three
members to investigate and report the
the confederate dead and offered an
amendment to that end.
Mr.. Hull stated that his commit
tee had just reported the Foraker bill,
which practically accomplished the
end sought, but Mr.. Underwood re-
piled that this applied only to confed-
crate dead in the north.
A letter was read by Mr. Harwick,
of Georgia, expressing the satisfac-
ton of the women of the south with
the Foraker bill and concluded with
the hope that Mr. Underwood would
not press his amendment
f. The amendment was defeated by
point of order by Mr.. Kahn, of Cali
fornia.
The army bill was then passed
Immediately Mr.. Prince, of Illinois,
asked and secured unanimous consent
for immediate consideration of the
Foraker bill for the marking of con-
federate graves in the north.
The bill provides for the erection of
white marble headstones over the
graves and the fencing of the same

CUBAN RIOTERS ROUTED.
Police Raid Their Camp, but Only
Capture One Man.

Gen. Rodriguez, chief of the rural
police, received a report at Havana
Monday to the effect that a detach-
ment Of rural guards had captured a
camp of Guanabacao rioters, believed
to be negroes, near Fapaste. The Gull
prits scattered and only one of them
was captured, but the police seized
a dozen horses and a quantity Of pro-
visions. Another mounted rural guard
died Saturday night.
Gen. Baza and other liberal and
former revolutionary generals sent
letters to the newspapers Monday
strongly denouncing the Guanabacao
riot and Offering to personally assist in
capturing the guilty persons.
There is some evidence Of the color
line being drawn in the political par
ty questions, which has hitherto been
known in Cuba.

FOOD AND STUDY.
College Mans Experience.


''All through my high school course
and first year in college," writes an
ambitious young man, Il struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond OF
cakes and fried things. My system
got into q state of general disorder
and it was difficult for me to apply
myself to school work with any degree
of satisfaction. / tried different medi-
cines and food preparations but did
not seem able to correct the difficulty.
Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts focd and sampled it. l
had to do something, SO just buckled
down to rigid observance of the di-
rections on the package, and in less
than no time began to feel better. In
few weeks my strength was re-
stored, my weight had increased, I
had clearer head and felt better in
every particular. My work was SIM
ply sport to what it was formerly.
MY sisters health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend to her mu-
sic. She went on Grape-Nuts and had
the same remarkable experience that
l had. Then my brother, Frank. who
is in the posteffice department at Wash
ington city and had been trying to do
brain work on greasy foods. cakes and
all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army.
/ showed him what it was and could
do and from broken-down condition
he has developed into hearty and ef-
ficient man.
Besides these could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men,
tally and physically by the use of this

DIR. OSLER FAR OUTDONE.
A Harvard Professor Puts Limit of
Growth at 25th Year.

Dr. Charles S. Minot, professor Of
embryology in Harvard University,
sent a shudder through his audience
in the academy at New York City by
setting back the Oslerian age to the
youthful 25th year.
After that age, according to DR..
Minot, man is incapable of progress
ing. DR.. Minot mercifully refrained
from setting any definite age for the
administration of chloroform.
THE 25th year is the limit of intel
lectual growth. We begin to grow old
before we are born. The infant learns
more in its first year than it learns all
the rest of it's life. AS soon as the
power of growth ceases old age sets
in. DR.. osler placed the period OF
permanent fatigue too late in life"

Charcoal making for gunpowder Is
a much more complicated process than
the ordinary field kiln manufacture.
Only certain kinds of woods are used
usually the young shoots of elder
and willOw--and it is cut in the spring,
so that the bark may be stripped off.
1t is then piled under airy, open sheds
and allowed to remain several years
until it is thoroughly dry. When the
powder maker is ready for a new sup
ply of charcoal the wood is cut into
lengths of three feet and placed in
tight iron retorts, under and around
which fire roars continually. The
hampers and pipes are so arranged
that the workmen have complete con-
troll of the heat. At the end of the
retort a hole is left for the escape of
the infiammable gases resulting from
the charring process. \ pipe catches
them as they leave the retort and con-
veys them into the furnace, where
they take the place Of good deal Of
fuel. When the flames Of the gas be-
come a deep blue color the workmen
know that the wood is sufficiently
charred and the retort is cooled down
as quickly as possible. The charcoal
is then left for a week or more be-
fore grinding, because if placed in the
machine at once there is danger of
spontaneous combustion. The best
charcoal is jet black and fractures
show velvety surfaces.

AWFUL PSORIASIS SIS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-fve years. 1t was in patches all

Cuticura Soap, six boxes OF Ointment,
and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty
days l was completely cured, and l
think permanently as it was about fl'e
years ago. The psoriasis first made its
appearance in red spots, generally
forming a circle, leaving in the center
a spot about the size Of silver dol
lar of sound flesh. In a short time the
affected circle would form a heavy dry
scale of white silvery appearance anu
would gradually drop off. To remove
the entire scales by bathing or using
oil to soften them the flesh would be
perfectly raw, and light discharge
of bloody substance would ooZe out.
That scaly crust would form again In
twenty four hours. 1t was worse on
my arms and limbs, although 1t was
in spots all over my body, also on my
scalp. If l let the scales remain too
long without removing by bath or 9th.
erwise, the skin would crack and bleed.
