FORMER SPEAKER dead
COLONEL D. B. HENDERSON Sue
CUMBS TO PARESlS.
Slow Physical Decline Extended Over
Period of Nine Months-Unable
at Last to Recognize Anyone
But Wife.

Former Speaker David B. Hender-
son of the national house of represent
atives died at his home in Dubuque,
Ia, of paresis, which attacked him
nine months ago. He began to sink
Friday afternoon, rallied Saturday
morning, but in the afternoon lapsed
into Inconsistencies and failed rap
idly until the end came on Sunday
All of his family except a son in Cal
ifOrnia was at the bedside.
Stricken Last May
Colonel Henderson had been unable
to recognize anyone but his wife since
a week ago, except on Friday when he
partly regained his mental faculties.
Colonel Henderson was strict n with
paresis last May, and his condition
grew so grave that he was removed
to a hospital in September. His con-
dition remained unchanged except for
the usual progress of such disease
ntil a week ago last Friday, when he
suffered another stroke, which result
ed in total blindness. The former
speaker failed rapidly physically and
mentally until Friday, when his men,
tai powers returned for few hours,
followed by relapse which ended in
death.
The funeral will be held next Thurs
day with services in the Episcopal
church under the auspices of the
Grand Army. Former Congressman
George d. Perkins of Sioux City will
deliver an eulogy. The body is to lie
in state on Thursday at the church.
His Career
Former Speaker Henderson was for
many years a prominent figure in the
counsels of his party and had a host
of friends among both republicans and
democrats in congress. Succeeding
Speaker Reed in the chair, Mr. Hen
derson carried out vigorously the rules
adopted by his predecessor for the
expedition of the business of the
house. He was twice elected speaker,
his last term in that Office closing a
twenty-year service in the lower
branch of congress.
1t was in advocating the cause OF
war veterans that the former speaker
was seen at his best in debate in the
house. He stubbornly fought for what
he believed was their rights and elo
quently pleaded their cause. Oldtim-
ers in congress recall the famous de.
bate on the Mexicon widows pension
bill when Representative Norwood OF
Alabama tainted the Iowan about his
| Scotch ancestry. In his reply Colonel
Henderson told with great sincerity
and earnestness the story of how he
and his two brothers had gone to the
war, and the extemporaneous speech
he then made was notable one.
Retirement Surprise
The ending of his political career
by his withdrawal from the campaign
for reelection to the Fifty eighth con
gress after he had been named to sue
coed himself caused a sensation in
Washington and widespread sepecula
ton as to the reasons that actuatet
his retirement, which he at the time
declined to discuss.
He lost leg in the Civil war ant
the stump gave him much trouble al
his subsequent life.

CHEAP, FOODS IMPURE
EVEN cOTTONSEED PRODUCTS
ARE ADULTERATED.
Committee Of National Association of
State Dairy Departments Told Gu
cose is Used in What is Sold as
Pure "Olive Oil"

Testimony before the food standard
committee of the National Association
of State Dairy and Food departments
in Chicago revealed the fact that the
food products sold as high grade" are
not the only ones adulterated to de-
ceive the consumer. 1t was shown
that even the cheaper grades of cotton
seed oil, usually sold under the names
salad oil' or "olive OIL" also are
adulterated by adding large quantities
of corn oil, a byproduct of glucose
manufacture.
Corn Oil Used
Hitherto cotton seed oil, both the
summer and winter grades, has been
regarded as the cheapest possible oil
used for purposes of food, but I'M
scrupulous manufacturers and dealers
saw way of doubling profits by the
use of corn oil and eagerly grasped
the opportunity.
1t was declared that practically all
of the cheaper and medium grades
of what is sold as salad oil or olive
oil now on the market is composed
of cotton seed oil as the base and
adulterated with from Is per cent to
SO per cent of corn oil.
Representative of various food
product manufacturers were present,
and offered arguments favorable to the
manufacturing interests.
1t was a representative of the Amer
lean Cotton Oil company who gave
the committee light on ''olive oil'' and
the extent to which manufacturers
adulterate it by the use of corn oil.
He also declared that, while corn oil
is not harmful, it is not pure salad
oil, and is an Unreasonable distance
from being an olive oil.
Differ on Use of Coal Tar Dyes
A sharp division of opinion arose
over the question of coal tar dyes.
DR.. Eaton conceded with the opinion
of several representatives of color
manufacturers that harmless" coal
tar dyes should be permitted to be
used.
This is not the opinion of Julius
Hortvet, state analyst of Minnesota
who declared he would oppose any
standard which permitted the use OF
coal tar colors in food products, be
they Harmless" or not.

THE PLATFORM.

Chairman Oscar L. Miles of the Com mittee on Resolutions submitted the following report as the platform:
 The Democratic party of Arkansas, in convention assembled, reaffirms it's devotion to the time-honored principles of the party. We declare our untl- terable opposition to the criminal trusts and monopolies which are crush ing out independent enterprises, des- troying competition, restricting The opportunities of labor, burdening our farmers and industrial agents and ar bitrarily controlling the price of the commodities of both producer and con- sumer-threatening our independent industrial development, and imperil- ing the intergrity and stability of free government. We earnestly as sert the sovereignty of the people over all corporations and aggregations of capital, and aver the unimpaired right of the people to make and enforce such regulations, restrictions and pro hibitions upon their management as shall have the effect to protect the people against extortion, injustice and opression.
 We favor the strict enforcement of the laws now on the statute books of the state against trusts and mon- opolies and recommend that they be strengthened by such additional legis- lation as experience may show to be necessary to make them effective.
 DingIey Tariff Denounced.
 We denounce the Dingley tariff law as the culmination of class legisla- tion. Enacted under the pretext of protecting American labor, it has, in fact, resulted in fostering special in- terests, until now the commerce of the country-composed alike of farm pro- ducts and manufactured articles-is locked fast in the grasp of monopoly. The Republican party, having brought about this distressful situation by the unwise and corrupt administration of the affairs of the nation, bound hand and foot, answers the demands of a suffering people for relief. with the insolent phrase "stand pat" and con tinues to collect its corrupting and de- bauching campaign funds from the private moneys held by the life in- surance companies in trust for widows and orphans, and from the trusts and monopolies it has fostered. With these funds it seduously goes forward to corrupt the voter, defeat the will of the people, and to perpetuate the reign of plutocracy over an afflicted and suffering nation-and. all this, while these protected industries sell and deliver their products to foreign countries cheaper than they will sell

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

To Bring the Babies Around.
 When little human machine tor a large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food to bring it around again.
 My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions,' says a Col orado mother.
 "I decided change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die.
 When I reached my sisters home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although l had never used the food, we got some and for few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in wonderfully short time he fat tened right up and became strong and we'll.
 That showed me something W. knowing and, when later oE my g5r1 came, raised her on Grap2Nuts and she is strong healthy ba4y and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what strong. chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that be fore we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back tc strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 All children can be built to a more sturdy and healthy condition upon Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con- tains the elements nature demands, from which to make. the soft gray filling in the nerve centers and brain. A well-fed brain and strong, sturdy nerves absolutely insure a healthy body.

 The childish amusement of riding a cane is of great antiquity. It was practiced by the children of Greece and ancient Rome.
 The game of hide and seek is an- other youthful pastime of ancient origin. It came from Europe about the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury.
 The spinning of tops, favorite amusement among children in the spring, also came from the Greeks. Records show that this kind of fun was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
 Leap-frog is mentioned in the works of both Shakespeare and John son. It has been played by children from early times, and is still fa- vorite game with boys.
