BooMs USED AS FUEL
FIERCE CAMPAIGN FIREsALIGHT
IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WHEELING, w. Va, March Ex-senator
Scott is enjoying presidential boom IN
West Virginia, and considerable speculation
has been aroused as to whether the boom
is part of a movement to send an anti
Roosevelt delegation from this state to the
republican national convention. Hosts OF
West Virginia republicans are cordial adj
mirers of the junior senator, but it must
be confessed that not all of them look SER
iously on his presidential BOOM
Senator Elkins lost time in denying
a report that he was for Roosevelt for
another term, but did not say he was
against him. He explained, however, that
he would be for Senator Scott in case the
latter should enter the race. Outside Of
West Virginia no evidences of Scott boom
are in sight, although Private Dalzell of
Ohio who resides in Washington, has
started an endless chain letter movement
in Scott's behalf
Whether rightly or otherwise, Senator
Scott is associated with the camp of re-
publicaOs who do not want Roosevelt Tor
another term or a presidential candidate of
the Roosevelt type of radicalism or strenu-
osity. Those who figure him as aligned
with Senator Foraker on matters of policy
affect to see in the Scott boom duplicate
of the Cannon boom in Illinois, the For
aker boom in Ohio, the Fairbanks boom In
Indiana, and so on, to the end that enough
delegates be tied up for favorite sons so
that the Roosevelt devotees will be power
less at the next national convention
The favorable state mention of Scott for
the head of the ticket Is also construed to
be intended purely for state consumption.
Senator Scott's prestige would certainly be
strengthened by it for his race to succeed
himself for third term. While his third
term proposition will not be decided for
over three years, he has to get his first
position for the battle next year, when the
followers in the state senate are to be
selected. Activity along that line is due
to begin soon.

Desires to Succeed Himself.

There is little doubt of Senator Scott s
desire to succeed himself 1t is clear from
every indication that he wants to remain
in the Senate and, for that matter, he
makes no secret of the aspiration. Natur-
ally he must be pleased at the presidential
mention, but as between the two honors, 1t
may be taken for granted that he will con-
fine himself to the selection of a favorable
legislature rather than to the picking of the
national convention delegates, however
much he may be interested in the head of
the next republican ticket.
Senator Scotts friends anxious as to
the probable rivalry of Representative-elect
w. P. Hubbard. Another fellow-townsman,
Albert Schenk, a millionaire beef packer,
has already announced himself as a cam
didate to succeed Scott but the alarm skips
Schenk and lands in front of Hubbard s
door Hubbard is non-commttal. When it
is considered, however, that he has not yet
taken his seat in the lower house, it can
easily be understood that he is not in a
position yet to talk about succession to the
upper house.
Personally Hubbard is not communicative.
and no announcement may be expected
from him until he can with propriety make
the required statement for publication that
he is a candidate for the Senate. When
such time comes, as it is expected to come
in the course of two years. Robert Hazlett,
the Wheeling member of the state senate,
Is likely to begin the race to achieve his
ambition Of going to Congress as Hubbards
successor.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those OF our generation. To be sure.
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices today which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard. vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall. OF soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of. arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag"

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Fsithist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community which has
established modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and labors of the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list Of
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days OF
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house in the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near ST. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
bloomsbury. the Mormons have a mis-
sion In lslington. and in many parts
or the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects in
London there are at least 300, includ-
Ing the Cokelers, the disciples of VIII
liam Slrgood. the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians: the Sande-
manians. the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

why good New Englanders should
stick to pie. and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate it three times

questions whether any sensible per.
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances.

counsels all to go on pie-eating. despite
the fact that the Nat has gone forth
that it is vulgar to eat pie.

Grape-Nuts

A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
pats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into form of
sugar. ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts Of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: 81 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. | can
truly recommend it to thin people,
He had been eating meat, bread, etc,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds Of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that it's use will reduce
he weight of corpulent person with
flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
lourished. There is abundance Of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
of true health. Scientific Sc
