FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Especial Correspondence,)

NopbCldl OIIeSpOnueuCe,J
Last week was prolific of semi
official statements. Beveridge has
been to Oyster Bay, and presumably
with authority, announces that "We'
are not standing 50 awfully pat as
some folks suppose. The statement
Beveridge writes for The World is
not as specific as the curious desire,
but it announces that natural causes"
should be reasonable and avoid pro
ducing panic, just because 1t is found
necessary to revise some scandalous-
ly oppressive schedules. The whole
significance of this semi-official state
ment is that revision Is accepted at
Oyster Bay as an inevitable issue,

Bryan. He repeats what so many
who have seen Mr., Bryan lately know

as to whether he will be a candidate

explicit statement concerning the
basis Of the feud between these two
gentlemen. None OF Hearst's friends
whom the New York newspapers
sought would speak for qualification.
but 1t was learned that there is stlll
a very pronounced ill-feeling on the
part Of the Hearst people against Mr.
Bryan, and the reason is given thus:
Mr.. Hearst, in 1896 and 1900. per.
sonally through his newspapers, sup

In 1904 Mr.. Bryan was not a candi-

The Public to Be Warned.

Washington.-The postal laws pro,
hibit placing written messages in
merchandise packages or letters on
which less than cents an ounce has
been paid and the provisions of this
statute admit of no waiver of the pen
atty provided
During the last fiscal year postof'ico
inspectors collected S59,0G5 for such
violations. In thousands of cases "A
short note of memorandum was placed
inside a package of merchandise on
which postage was paid at / cent an
ounce, while the written matter made
it necessary that 2 cents an ounce
should have been paid
Finding that in a great number of
cases the offense was due to ignorance
of the law and that the collection of
the fine usually works a hardship to
the poor. especially where written
messages are made in returning cou-
pons, tags and certificates for
premiums, Postmaster General Meyer
has directed that proper notices be
placed in postofices warning the pub
lie against the practice.

1t has not been definitely settled how
old teachers will be started under the
new schedule. Those who have taught
many years will probably be given the
maximum at once. Those who have
taught several years here will receive
from $50 to $3.50 and will be advanced
each year until $3.50 has been reached,
The maximum salary will give teach
ers $50 month the year around. Up
to this year they have been receiving
$74O for nine months, or $50 a month
during the school year This left
them to live during vacation on what
they could save during the school year,
after paying all expenses. The lowest
salary under the new schedule, 5000,
VIII give the recipients $50 a month
every month in the year
High school teachers will receive no
increase. They are now paid $500
when they first enter high school, and
are advanced automatically until they
receive 81 900 year After that they
receive increases upon the recon-
mendation of their principals. This
year between thirty and forty high
school teachers have received promo
tions of 800 each.

Courtesy at Home.

We are all creatures of habit.
men and women alike. and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character OF
both. The root of all bad manners is
selflshness; when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much In the rear, and drops so
far behind in time that 1t disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep UP the
ceremony and etiquette Of society
when at home" True. for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together, but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of us
that 1t will become our second nature,
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.

Secret of Good Garden Making.

In order to have good gardens we
must really care for the plants in
them. and know them Individually as
well as collectively. This is an impor-
tant part of the technique of the gar
denmaker: he must know intimately
the form and texture as well as the
color of all the plants he uses: for
plants are to the gardener what his
palette is to painter. The two arts
OF painting and garden design are
closely related. says Scribner's, except
that the landscape gardener paints
with actual color. line. and perspective
to make a composition, as the maker
of stained glass does, while the paint

create his Illusion; he has, however,

for the Chautauqua. He believes that
Bryan undoubtedly will be the nomi-

that the Nebraskan will make the

might be more popular with the Dem

it, that Bryan will be the choice of

race on his present policy.
Congressman Clark says. with a
tinge of sarcasm, that Roosevelt is one
of the most energetic men since the
world began. He says that he seems
to be set on hair trigger.

that the President borrows his whole

A RAISE IN SALARIES.
Teachers in the Denver Public Schools
Get Handsome Raise.

Denver.-The salary schedule. pre-
pared by the committee on salaries of
the Board of Education, has been pre-
sented before that body and practically
approved. When the teachers con
tracts were signed last June the
amount of the salary was left vacant.
The sloyd teachers. who teach manual
training works in the grades. proved
so scarce that their contracts were filled
out few days ago. in order to hold
them. Although the board has not
formally accepted the schedule. it prac
tically did so by this action. The sloyd
teachers have always received the
same amount as grade teachers and
their contracts have been filled cut for
$50 a month for twelve months in the
case of all old teachers.
The total increase in the salary ap-
preparation will be when all the old
teachers now holding position. reach
the maximum of $500 a year. The
board is confident. according to one of
the members. that no increase in the
school levy need be made to met the
extra Indebtedness. BY curtailing eX-
penseS in certain lines the extra salary
appropriation can easily be met. ii is
asserted, with confidence. Knockers
may claim that this is not so and that
an increase in levy will be necessary.
Happily, however. according to mem
bers of the beard, there will be found
few knockers to cry down a long
needed increase in the salaries of Den
Yer teachers. The need of larger sal
aries to get teachers of ability has long
been recognized, as the taxpayers are
as anxious as anyone to have their chill
dren taught by competent instructors
The question of an increase in sal
airy was brought up during the last
school election. 1t was deeply agitated
and facts given to the public that
aroused much interest. The public
had not stopped to consider the in
creasihg needs of larger salaries, the
fact that MANY had families dependent
upon them and that more money could
be made in other professions. The
question was not one of politics, both
contestants promising to help raise
salaries If possible.
In raising the salaries the Denver
School Board was only following the
example set by Colorado Springs
which raised the salaries of its teach
ers to $50 the year around. last year.

Ch:cago-A gigantic movement tn
union machinists employed by rail
roads throughout the Northwest,
which is expected to include black
smiths and boilermakers and embrace
a total of 10000 men, has been
launched.
The plan is being backed principally
by the Northwest consolidated district
of the Machinists' union, although the
blacksmiths and boilermallers, who
also have powerful organizations. are
looked to for active cooperation on
behalf of their respective crafts.
The Northwest consolidated dis
trict embraces all railroads north Of

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
pany announces that it's new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
80 little. comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach 1t. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
Ing June 80 were $21.66O,761. 1t is
Interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,1SO,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
lties. trust fund installments. for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$l0,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, EN-
braces wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Caro-.
ful Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
ETC., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food ''Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into form of
sugar during the process of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles af Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains. and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain
This is scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten days use of

When sending a car off on a record
making or breaking trip on the Pacific
coast, observes Automobile, there are
more things to be thought of than
gasoline. oil. tires and spares-many
more-and not the least of them is the
fact that. owing to the lamentable
lack of bridges and other signs of civ
ilization. there are apt to be many
times when the car will find itself
under water. Now the modern auto
mobile. while amphibious to certain
extent, is not diver, and when the
wet begins to rise above the foot
boards there is usually a mufiled sigh
and a gurgle that sounds the death
