Responsible for Senators.

There are bad Senators, of course.
Some of them are merely weak, or cas-
lily led. Possibly one or two are ac-
tually corrupt, and certainly several,
who look at everything from only the
business" point of view, stand for spe-
cial interests rather than for the in
terests OF the people. But, in every
such instance, it will be found that the
bad Senator is fairly representative of
a majority of the people of his State,
says the World To-Day. 1t is not the
fault of the Senate that he falls below
its standard.
Kansas knew what Burton was, yet
sent m to the Senate. Rhode Island
knows what Aldrich is, yet complacent-
ly permits his reelection as frequently
as he and the corporate interests he
serves desire it. New York has long
known what Platt and Depew are, yet
they have represented that State in the
Senate for many years.
Opposed to this is the attitude of the
Senate itself toward such men. Since
Burton has been under indictment he
has been barred from the Senate cham
Der by the sentiment of a majority OF
his former colleagues. The same was
true of Mitchell. In other way, it is
true of Platt and Depew. who, since the
Senate has come to know them fol
what they really are, have been strip
ped of the last vestige of legislative in
tiuence. They come from the Creates
State in the Union, and they represent
some of its greatest corporate interests
but their ability to accomplish theil
purpose begins and ends with their in
dividual votes. Even Aldrich is not the
puiSsant figure he once was.

How Children Were Cared For by
Frisco Relief Committee.

How Children Were Cared For by
Frisco Relief Committee.
In a corner If the basement of the
Congregational Church, away from the
busy whirring of sewing machines and
the busting crowd seeking aid, is
long table piled with dolls, gayly COW
cred colored picture books and toys of
every description, says the Sacramento
Union.
The little toy department during the
strenuous days of the relief committee
at the church accomplished wonders in
pleasing and quiet manner.
Nearly every woman applying for
relief at the church was accompanied
by children, and the task of quieting
the little ones during the Quitting of
parents was hard one In one instance
the only available distraction for one
healthy-lunged youngster was a pack
age of safety pins. The little fellow
managed to amuse himself temporarily,
but his persistency in trying to masti-
cate couple of pins brought the ma
ternal wrath on his head, and his
future as an announcer is an undis-
puted fact.
The Rev. Mary NJ. Bowen, with Miss
Sarah NJ. Jones, were the originators
of the plan to furnish the children with
toys to amuse them while the parents
were being supplied Miss Jones an
nounced to the pupils of the Fremont
primary school that she was DESTROYS Of
procuring toys and books, and explain
ed the use they would be put to- The
school children responded generously,
and in a couple of days the toy depart
| ment was in full swing.
Many touching little incidents were
noted by the women in charge of the
toy bureau. They tell Of one little girl
who fairly gasped with joy when
brought to the table and told to take
her pick of the articles She naturally
wanted doll, but her choice between a
blonde and brunette was puZZling to
one so young, as it sometimes is to
those who are older She finally de-
cided on a handsomely dressed, black
curly haired one and Rugged the doll
tightly to her bosom. One of the wOm-
en- asked her what name she would
call the doll. The little one replied,
well, my. other dolly's name was
Laura, but she was burned to death in
the great fire. l jess guess I'll name
my new dolly Lauras sister,
The large array of toys spread out
on the table was a source of much wor-
riment on the part of the youngsters
when told to choose what they wished.
The choice between a Noah's ark and
a mechanical automobile brought one
| little fellow to the verge of Mysteries.
| He wanted both, but could be happy
| with neither, and the women seeing
| his predicament, filed his arms with
the two toys, and away he scampered,
screaming shrilly for his mother to see
his treasures.

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Vow Gets Along without Ii

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the meat
had passed from the stomach.
Last fall l began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon found
l could do without meat, for my body
got all the nourishment necessary from
the Grape-Nuts. and since then | have
not had any indigestion and am feeling
better and have increased in weight.
Since finding the benefit 1 derived
from Grape-Nuts l have prescribed the
food for all of my patients suffering
from indigestion or overlooking and
also for those recovering from disease
where l want a food easy to take and
certain to digest, and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results | look for
when / prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful amount
Grape-N Nuts is not hard TO find
In the first place, the starchy part of
the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into Dextrose
or Post Sugar, in which state it is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood The parts in the wheat and
barley which Nature can make use of
for rebuilding brain and nerve centers
are retained in this remarkable food
and thus the human body is supplied
with the powerful strength producers
so easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for week or ten
days. There's reason"
