object of ascertaining whether such fuc-

The extensive dealing in futures was
denounced by Mr.. Livingston, who said
that the cotton-growers and cotton
spinners of tho United States are alb

cations Of cotton that formerly existed.
and called attention to the fact that
eleven of these classes have been
dropped recently. Mr.. Livingston spoke

IMPROVED MEMORY
And Incrensed Weight From Eating
Proper Food.

The memory and other important funo
tions OF the brain are greatly influenced
by the condition OF the digestive organs
This may seem strange to persons who
do not stop to realize that every no"
cell in the brain Is made UP from thS
food that Is taken into the stomach, be-
cause every thought wastes cells which
have to be replaced by others.
When the proper food Is used and fully

rrrom our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January co..
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives arc disposed to be rather critical
of recently announced plans OF MIR.
Bryan, which seem TO play into the
handsfof the Republicans. While there
is very general disposition on the part
of Mr.. Bryan's enemies within the
party, as we'll as his friends, to con-
cede that he has always been able to
take good care of his own political
interests, there Is considerable un-
easiness over the announcement that
IT is Mr.. Bryan's intention to put him
self on record in the very near future
upon the vexed question of what TIE
Democratic platform of 1908 shall be.
Those who have no criticism to make
OF his gdecision are disposed to criticise
the anethod he has adopted for giving
publicity to his views.
According to general report. he has
determined to contine his written ut
terarees during the next eight or ten
months to the pages of a single month
ly magazine.
It is understood that Mr.. Bryan will
advance III these articles some new
and perhaps startling theories of gov
erninent, Those OF his friends who take
exception to his plans. contend that
the political effect upon himself and his
party can only be harmful They argue
that IL Mr. Bryan takes extreme ground
to which his party may not follow him,
he Will be in manifest danger OF elim-
mating himself as n factor in the next
Democratic national convention; while
If. on the other hand, there is any
thing of real political value in his new
theories, he Will, by such premature
publication, simply give the Republic
cans an opportunity to steal the de-
sirable feature of his platform, as he
claims they have done in the past.

utterances of this character before the
