CHEF OFFENDER ATTACKED
President Roosevelt's Method Of Deal
ing with Enemies of
the People.

II is characteristic Of President
Roosevolts courage that I'm leading
the peoples attack against the law
less he has selected the offender that
is chief in power and in pernicious in.
fluence. II Is Characteristic of the
presidents directness that he has
mentioned that offender by name, and
IL is Characteristic of his fidelity that
he proposes to use all the available
power of the government to undo the
misdoing and to punish the misdOer.
1t has been the general belief, says
the Troy Times, that the Standard
Oil company has been amassing great
wealth by crushing out competition,
and by the employment for this end of
illegal combinations and agreements
The thorough and untiring investiga-
tion made by Commissioner Garfield,
of the bureau of corporations, has
amassed facts which prove that secret
rebates granted by the Standard Gil
company and oppressive discrimina-
tion in open rates have given to that
enormous corporation a decisive and
overwhelming advantage over COM
petitors. 1t is shown in illustration
that rates only one-third of what was
charged to other shippers were given
to the Standard Oil company in this
state.
President Roosevelt has informed
congress of the facts and justly de-
scribed the situation as a Character
istic example of the numerous evils
which are inevitable under a system
in which the big shipper and the rail
road are left free to crush out all in
dividuaI initiative and all power of
independent action because of the alb
sence of adequate and thorough-going
governmental control"
The president rightly holds that so
outrageous breach of equity in the
encratchment upon popular right and
so gross a violation of the principles
of business fairness constitute a blow
at the people and a menace to the pur-
poses which the American govern
ment was established to maintain and
defend. The president suggests, there
fore, that to an administrative agency
be given power to control and check
the treacheTous abuses of such a cor
poration as the one under review, and
plainly indicates his willingness to
use all the means open to the execu-
tive to attack this organized injustice
and to protect its victims among the
business interests and the individual
consumers of the country.
Great offenses deserve heroic rene
dies, and, as the president says, any
injustice which may be predicted of
an administrative commission would
not begin to be so outrageously cruel
as what has already been proved
against one of the big corporations Of
This country.

Prince Won Bulow, the German
chancellor, who was overcome by

ETDemOcrats are inclined to say
that as the speaker opposes revision
and says that congress must represent
the desires of the American people. he
in effect makes tariff revision the is
sue in the coming elections, placing
the Republican party absolutely in the
stand-pat attitude and the Democrats
for revision. Whether this be so or
not it is fairly certain that there will
be no tariff revision at this session OF
congress. Let well enough alone

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digaster Is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
diaGtase, outside of the human body
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore IS
naturally pre-digested and it's use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food and that is very common in the
human race to-day
The eeffct Of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread Is very
marked. The user viii gain rapidly Ia
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's a reason"

The early Greeks and Romans rode
horses bareback. They regarded it
as unmanly to ride in a saddle. In
fact, the modern saddle with pommel,
the ancients. Nero gave out fancy
coverings to his cavalry, and the bare
back riders of the German forests
used to laugh at them. Saddles with
trees came into use in the fourth CEN
tury: stirrups three centuries later.

Cure for Crows Feet.

The following little sermon may be
taken to heart by man as well as
woman. In business or the home life
1t is equally applicable and breathes
of the best spirit to be preserved in all
vicissitudes of life: BE sunny has
grown to be something of a catchword,
but it is pretty good all-around
motto for everyday life as well. The
cook may have gone away in a tenn
per on the very day of your dinner
party-it's a way cooks have-or the
dressmaker may have failed TO send
home your new fTock in time for Mrs.
So-and-So's reception, but frowns and
tears and grumblings will not help mat
ters in either case. 1t may be that
the world contains other cooks, or
even that the same one may be in
duced to return in time to save the
day. And if not, why not pitch right
in and do the best you can yourself
with the best grace you can muster?
If your dinner does not turn out quite
joke of the whole affair and let your
guests laugh with you. Bless you,
they too, have troubles of their own
and they will relish almost any sort
of repast that is served with laugh
ter sauce And as for the dress that
did not come, why, since you must do
without it in any event, just do with
out it cheerfully. You have other
frocks, possibly and if you furbish
one of them up bit and wear it with
your lightest heart and your gladdest
smile, people will simply wonder why
they never knew before how pretty
you are and how tastefully you dress.
That is, the people who count for any
thing. And as for the others, who
cares about what they think, any way?
There are recipes by the score for
eradicating wrinkles and keeping
crows feet at bay; but a cheerful
mind discounts all of them. 1t isn't
easy to be cheerful when things go
wrong, you say. No but it doesn't
help any to be grumpy, does it? Then,
in the expressive slang of the day,
forget it." Cheerfulness is a habit.
just as much as worrying-only it is
a good deal pleasanter for yourself
and everybody else. Get the habit,
then; and the first thing you know the
worries will have taken fight. They
atmosphere they find themselves so
distinctly 'out of it," that they prefer
to make themselves scarce. Therefore.
be cheerful. 1t may cost you something
at first, but it will pay in the end.
How to manage it? Look out instead
of in. You are not the only human
creature who has troubles. Every
woman has them-and most men-so
you can not lay claim to exclusiveness
along this line. But the world is a
pretty good world, on the whole, and
you will enjoy it more than you do
now when you begin to look out on it
with unclouded eyes. Leave the house
or the office or the schoolroom behind
you once in while and take a breath
ing spell out in the open. And when
you do go out, do not always go shop
ping. Don't bother with bargain days
unless you really want something that
you can't buy any other time. And
even at the bargain counter be sunny.
1t may seem difficult, but it isn't near
ly as difficult as it seems if you only
start trying it.

surprises in their lives. Everything
looked SO strange, so different from
what they knew or imagined that
they were utterly astonished-one
might have taken them to be resi-
dents Of another planet dropped
down among us from the way they
acted and looked. Many of these
men were here as a business pro-
position and did all they could to
see the country and what could be
done here. The result of their in
vestigation is inevitable-many of
them will come back some day and
try it for themselves; not one of
them but will tell his friends and
acquaintance such stories of his
trip as render them incredulous and
doubtful of his veracity. These
cars were TIE Isabel, Rice, Gulf
Coast, Raymondville, 80" and
H. G. Heustis' private car.
Ever notice how nothern people
who come here affect a love for
flowers? No sooner do they strike
the town than they begin to adorn
themselves with all kinds of flow
ers. 1t is the novelty of seeing
flowers at this season of the year
does the business for them and the
kind of people in many instances
who wear them and the kind of
flowers in many other instances
that they wear is often amusing.
Big gawky men who've spent all
their lives on farms or crowded
and cramped up in cities without
even a suspicion of such flowers,
going about with sprigs of delicate
orange blossoms in their button
holes or hats and many other in
stances equally incongruous and
amusing.
26 hack-loads of northern pros
pectors visited the Blalack and
Piper Bros. farms yesterday.
These people displayed the greatest
enthusiasm and wonder over the
things revealed to them on these

ductiveness of the country that
will bring many of them to invest
and come back to live with us.

like lotus-eating-hard to forget.
