WOLVES MAKE FIERCE FIGHT
Arrival of a Sarchlug Party saves
Two Wisconsin Men from
Death,

ST. PAUL, Feb. "A special dispatch
from Loyal, Wis, to the Dispatch says
that Harry Riddel and James Cook, both
prominent citizens of Jackson county, Wis
consin. had a narrow escape from being
devOured by wolves on the evening of jan
uary 20.
They had been hunting the beasts all day
with a party of hunters from neighboring
towns and farms. Becoming separated
from the main party they lost their way.
Darkness found them still undetermined as
TO the course to pursue. Gathering some
dry branches they built a fire to protect
themselves in cases of attack. No sooner
had they kindled the fire than the dismal
sound of wolves was heard in the distance
and, placing their backs to a large rock,
the men prepared for battle. In ten min
utes the forest seemed alive with dusky
forms and soon the battle was raging. The
remainder of the party had gone in search
OF the missing men and came upon them
after they had exhausted their ammuni-
ton and were fighting with hrebrands as
a last resort The wolves dispersed at the
approach Of the larger party, fifteen OF the
vicious hrutes having been killed.

LENTEN DIET.
A Food More Powerful Than Meat

devout Catholic lady of Washington,
anxious to comply with the requirements
of the church as to diet during Lent and
not suffer from insufficient food says:
AS Lent approached last year l found
myself In such rundown condition that
l seriously hesitated upon the advisability
OF abstaining from flesh food, attending
early services, etc, during the penitential
season.
Il was very nervous and suffering from
z severe mental shock, and felt that |
needed all the strengthening properties
that my usual large meat breakfasts and
hot lunches could give me. And yet | was
anxious to keep an exemplary Lent, not
only in spiritual sense but by also prac-
tiCing self-denal.
After thinking it over / concluded to
try GTapeNu food in place of meat de-
termined, however, that at the first symp-
tom Of increased weakness or distress l
would drop it and go back to my old diet.
l began on Ash Wednesday 90 use Grape
Nuts instead of my pre-Lenten meat
breakfasts. ate the food dry, followed by
"A cup of cocoa or glass OF milk. For
luncheon | again took Grspe-Nuts, but
this time in the form OF a pudding, boiled
or baked. My dinner was OF the usual
character.
ITO my great joy. | found I had solved
I the problem. In three weeks ] realized
that l was not only holding my own, but
gaining I'm the power of enduring fatigue
and worry, and at the close Of Lent had
gained 10 pounds in weight, had a clearer
eye and color. a better appetite and diges-
| ton than for many months before.
MY vigor, both physical and mental has
been pronounced ever since. ] feel the
nervous strain much less, my duties no
longer worry me, because l am able TO
systematic them as only one with a thor
oughly rested and vigorous brain can, so
that they are more quickly performed
/ giving me more time for rest, reading and
recreation" Name given by Postum Co,

position of Clarke of Arkansas, McEnery,
Patterson and Taliaferro not known save
for the public expression of Patterson in
the senate in favor of the administration
policy
The spirit manifested In the caucus and
voiced by several leading senators in en-
phatic expressions after the caucus ad-
Journed, was that today's action meant that
the democrats of the senate would have
united party action on matters determined
by two-thirds of their numbers to be ques-
tons affecting party policy. Those who
don't abide by caucus decision will not be
regarded as democrats and the point will
be raised against them should they appear
in future caucuses OF the party.
Mr. Patterson declined to make any ex-
PLANTATION of his leaving the caucus.
1t is supposed that all OF the republicans
will vote for the treaty and that four dem
ocratic votes are necessary to secure its
ratification. There are eighty mine sena-
tors there being one vacancy from Del
not he cast or paired. Therefore fifty
eight votes are necessary for the ratifica-
ton. The republicans have fifty-four votes
without Burton. and four votes from the
opposition will give them the required two
thirds. Democratic leaders don't believe
these four votes will be forthcoming and
express the hope that senators who may
be favorably disposed towards the treaty
will feel bound by the caucus action today

WASHINGTON Feb. 3.-The War de-
partment has decided TO go back to the
heavy caliber for army revolvers and to
adopt cartridge proposed by the ordnance
bureau carrying a bullet Of 45-caliber to
replace the ss-caliber now in use. The
reason for the change is that it is desired
to have a bullet with greater stopping
power than that now in use.
Opportunity is also given for a decided
innovation in the type of revolver The
ordnance bureau has invited manufacturers
Of pistols to enter into a competition and
10 submit types OF revolvers, either of tho
automatic kind or along the lines of those
now used by the army. All weapons sub
mitted. however. must be made for the use
OF the 45-csliber cartridge which has been
adopted. The competition will take place
some months hence.
