The democratic platform charged
the Review and Chronicle with be-
ing unfair to the present administra.
ton. The platform positively stated
that the papers had misrepresented
facts concerning Mayor Daggett and
his fellow officials. The Chronicle
and Review are denying this charge
and have been wasting large
amount of type in an attempt to
show how fair they have been to-
wards the democrats. They say
that they will always print any
statement which Mr.. Daggett sees
fit to make and that they have al
ways been willing so to do. But
what does this amount to? What
good can be done by an interview
with the mayor when statements
are made in the news columns abso-
lutely at variance with the facts.
The public know that statement
made by an official presents the fay
orable facts from the official stand
point. 1t knows that editorials are
written often for the purpose of dis
torting the true facts and it takes
both statements and editorials with
mental reservations; but the news
columns of paper are supposed to
print the truth and whole truth
about any occurrence. Therefore,
it is of no Importance how many
interviews with. or statements by
the mayor are published in the Re
view or Chronicle if malicious state
ments and falsehoods continue to
find admission to their news col
umns. Had the Democrats a news.
paper, they might well expose the
untruthfulness of the Review and
Chronicle; but they have none. 1t
becomes necessary, therefore, for
us to call the peoples attention to
one or two false hoods that have
been published in these papers. and
from these the voter may draw his
own inference as to the truth or
lack of truth of the other political
news items in the Review and
Chronicle. A Democratic engineer,
Allan f, Gill, prepared the plans for
the new water works. Other plans

CUTS OUT HIS TONGUE

MILAN, Italy, May 3-Arcangelo
Rossi, the famous tenor who was
formerly with the Conreid Opera
Co., was taken to the hospital here
today in a critical condition after
having cut out his tongue with a
pair of scissors. This was the act
OF insanity which developed short
time ago when the tenor lost his
voice after having been i'll since
the San Francisco earthquake,
which occurred when he was sing
ing in that city.

STILL ANOTHER
KILLING

And even that boy Rush couldn't
stop the Indians at Seattle yester-
day. Manager Quinn sold Rush to
Seattle, being afraid to begin the
season with an amateur of unknown
caliber on his salary list. Fat"
Dugdale, however wasn't afraid,
and ever since the season opened
Rush has been pitching excellent
ball and winning his games. But
his old teammates trimmed him
and Chevelier both yesterday-not
very badly though. They hit him
freely enough. Dave Rowan just
got starting on making batting
average yesterday when he nego-
tiated 2-bagger and singles. Each
hit meant run for Rowan, too.
Carney got couple of hits out of
times at the bat and Tailed twice.
Erickson was in the box for the In
juns and made the clam-eating Seat
tie bunch look as sick as William
Jennings Bryan would if Roosevelt
decided to accept a third term. Five
measly little hits, but l a home
run, were scored off the Norseman.
Rush will probably pitch today.
He couldn't save Seattle yesterday
after Spokane made hits in the
sixth and had the bases full. Eight
runs were scored by the Indians in
that inning. Twelve men were at
bat. Seattle scored runs the first
inning and it was this which got
the Irish up in the sixth. Score:
Seattle 6, Spokane 10.
Aberdeen got trimmed again by
Tacoma yesterday, score to 3.
The loss was due to Tonneson's
wildness. Brinker was substituted
in the third, but could not over
come the Tigers lead.
At Vancouver, Butte won by
score Of IL to 2. The Canadians
have not won game for so long

tendance there at all Report, how

A Question of Interest to All Careful
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. be-
cause the bowel digestive organs
(where starch Is digested). are over
taxed and the food ferments. producing
gas. and microbes generate in the de-
cayed food. frequently bringing ON peri.
tonitis 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 a form OF
sugar during the process Of It's manu-
facture. In this way. the required food
Is presented to the system in pre-di.
gested form and Is immediately made
into blood and tissue. without taxing
the digesth.s organs
remarkable result In nourishment
Is obtained: the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical aud
mental strength Why in mentally Be
cause the food contains delicate par
ticles OF Phosphate OF Potash obtained
from the grains. aud this unites with
the albumen of all food aud the cOmbi-
nation Is what nature uses TO rebuild

scientific fact that can be easily proven
by ten days use OF Grape Nuts.
