in rhyme her opinion of men. THIS is her

"A Matrimonial Iydll." When the petition

TEDDY WOULD RUN AGAIN
If He Were Assured of the Vote of
a Southern State.

Atlanta, Calf l could be posi-
lively assured of the electoral vote of
a single Southern State l would gladly
be a candidate for the presidency next
year."
The above statement was made by
President Roosevelt on Georgia Day at
jamestown, according to leading Geor-
gla Democrats who we're present.
Roosevelt is said to have made the
declaration following the wave of good
feeling attendant upon the dedication
of the Georgia building, a replica of
the home of the presidents mother.
1t was a love feast. Each man was
toasting the other and all were toasting
the president. Soon after this outbreak
OF enthusiasm John Temple Graves
went to President Roosevelt and urged
him to u for a third time. The pres
ident is reported to have said that but
n thing would cause him to change
his determination in this respect.
He then said that if he could be posi-
lively assured of the electoral vote of a
single State State-if he could break
the Solid South-he would be a candi-
date for a third term.

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Most I'm.
portant Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con-
troll that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one Of the most i'm
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, I may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf-
ficient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
Il am convinced that the extensive
aad general use of high class foods Of
this character would increase the term
of human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably i'm
prove society in general. I am free to
mention the food, for I personally
know of it's value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms, or adults. 1t is ready
cooked, can be served instantly,
either cold with cream, or with hot
water or hot milk poured over All
sorts of buildings and fancy dishes can
be made with Grape-Nuts. The food
is concentrated and very economical,
for four heaping teaspoons are sufff-
cient for the cereal part of a meal.

LAMANA BOY MURDERED
ssBLACK HAND OUTRAGE sTIRs
NEW ORLEANS.
Fearful of Being Discovered, Kid
napers of Son of Wealthy Italian
Strangle Boy to Death.

New Orleans, La.-Two miles into
the interior of a big swamp neal this
city the headlcss body of Walter La
mana, an Italian child between sever
and eight years old, who was kidnapped
and held for So, 1000 ransom two weeks
ago, was found by police and vigilantes
just before daybreak today. He had
been strangled to death, according to
the confession of one of the several
Italians held by the police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was s%trangled,
causing the head to become separated
from the body when decomposition set
in. The head was found a short dis
lance from the body.
Seven Italians, two Of them women,
are under arrest charged with being
accomplices to the murder, and extra
details of police and deputies are main
tanning order in the excited Italian
quarter of the city. Seventy armed
deputies have been placed on guard at
the Orleans parish prison, the strong
est in the State, where three of the pris-
oners are held, and some apprehension
has been felt over the safety of two
other prisoners who have been taken TO
an adjoining parish.
The murdered boy was found near
ST. Rose, about 20 miles from New Or
leans. Sweating process wrung a con-
fession from n of the suspects. This
man. 1gnacio Campisciano, was kept in
the woods an hour, when he confessed,
charging four Italians with the murder.
He said that about the time of a
mass meeting in New Orleans more
than a week ago, held for the purpose
of prosecuting search for the boy, these
men, who were in a vacant house in St.
Rose, became frightened and consulted
about what to do with the child. The
boy was crying, begging TO be taken to
the home of his parents, said Campis-
ciano, and n of the quartette of kid
napers grabbed the child and strangled
him to death to stop his noise.
Later two of the k~idnaoers. he said,
came to him carrying the body in a
blanket, and after threatening him with
death if he told, took the body into the
swamp.
Campisciano, after relating this
story, led the police through two miles
of swamp, where the searchers some
times waded in water nearly waist deep
and at other crawled under tangles of
briers, In a shallow pool at the end of
this search the body was found in the
blanket in a clump OF wild cane.

injury from Mosquitoes.

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
tons ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In n year the bulk of
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; n gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.
This year n of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year

TROUBLES.
The New Law viii Worry Dealers In
Food and Drugs.

Washington, d. C.-Trouble is
brewing for jobbers and wholesale
dealers of food and drug products un-
der the construction placed upon the
pure food and drugs act by the depart
ment of agriculture. Under the law,
the manufacturer of a particular line
OF Q or drug products may obtain
from the department a guaranty of the
purity or wholesomeness of products.
To the manufacturer whose products
have been passed upon by officials of
the department of agriculture, a serial
number is issued as an Identification
OF the products inspected and found
to be manufactured and labeled in ac-
cordance with the law. Until re-
Gently it was supposed that this guar
anty would hold good throughout the
distribution and sale of the products,
but the department OF agriculture
holds that it does not.
The new law requires that the guar
anty shall be from the person who
sold the goods to the person charged
with the ofense. Thus if A & Co. sell
to B & Co. and give a guaranty, the
formers guaranty is not a valid de-
Tense for c & Co. against any action
under the food and drugs act, as the
last named purchased the goods from
B and Co. 1t is the intention of the
agricultural department soon to issue
a regulation regarding this matter,
which probable will create wide inter-
est among jobbers and wholesale deal
ers all over the county. 1t will be
necessary for them, in order fully to
protect their interests, to insist upon
direct guarantees from all those from
whom they purchase food and drug
products.

REORGANiZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
urance e The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he "began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
OF the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life IN
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had 81, 1000, GOO, 900 insurance on
it's books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
100000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds 81, 900, 00O, 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board. as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

GETS 2-CENT FARE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT. !,
THREE MONTHS TRIAL IN MISSOURI
Both Sides Agree to Stay Out of the
Courts Pending the Experiment
-Attorney-GeneraI EIated.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Missouri &c
passenger fare act will go into effect
at once and be given a three months
trial. II at the end of that time the
rate should be unremunerative, it's
enforcement can then be fought in the
courts by the railroads.
The state officials are temporarily
e%nJoined from enforcing the maximum
freight rate law and this case will be
argued later in the federal court. :.
Judge Smith MCPHERSON, in the
United States district court here, aft
er handing down an opinion maintain
ing the courts jurisdiction in the
premises, ordered the PRONUNCIATION of
the above stated facts, which had been
agreed to by the attorneys for the
state and the eighteen Missouri rail-
roads involved. The court in its de-
cision had suggested that the &c fare
should first be given a practical trial
before Injunction proceedings prevent
ing its enforcement be considered.
Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general,
said regarding the &c bill:
'If at TIE end of three months the
railroads want to litigate the reason
ableness of these rates, the question of
the jurisdiction of the state and fed
eral courts to determine the question
will be fought out and the state has
lost none of its rights or advantages.
The injunction suits | have brought
against the railroad companies on the
passenger rates in the state court will
stand.
las the reasonableness of the state
law can be more speedily heart and
determined by the federal court on &C
count of the fact that practically ali
the testimony necessary to the deter
mination has been already taken there
stand. 1t will be heard and decided in
that court. The state is in the better
position to win the case under the act
of 1907 than it was under the law of
1905. | feel that the order made is
both a moral and a substantial victory

bIance in the Three.

Ithaca, New York-Rt. Reverend
William Lawrence, the Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts, de-
livered the ba%ccalaureate sermon at

text from the life of Moses. He de-
nounced the t~heologians who rush to
arms to attack scientific discoveries
and the biblical criticism which
seemed to jeopardize the Scriptures.
He declared this attitude shows a
fundamental lack of faith in Gods
trust. BisnCp Lawrence said that Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Gov. Hughes re-
semblec Moses in that they have be-
come successful leaders by sheer force
of character against seemingly in
superable obstacles.

Secretary.

Westinghouse valuable find has
just been made at the war department.
1t is a tin box containing the water
proof cloak and the shawl worn by JEFF
