CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food.
Those who are still young and robust
are likely to overlook the fact that. as
dropping water will wear a stone away
rich food. finally cause loss of appetite
and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A \. Y. young woman
writes her experience thus
"Some time ago | had lot of trou-
Bile from indigestion, caused by too rich
food | got so | was unable to digest
scarcely anything. and medicines seem
ed useless.
"A friend advised me TO try Crane
Nuts food. praising it highly. and as a
last resort, tried it. | am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only reliev-
ed me of my trouble. but built me up
and strengthened my digestive organs
so that can now eat anything l de-

Washington, Dec 8.-The business
of both houses was confined largely
to listening to the reading of the
presidents message. A resolution
was introduced in the senate by Mr..
Knox providing for the appointment
of three representative to make nee
essary arrangements for the lnaugu-
ration of President-elect Taft The
resolution was adopted. The miscel-
laneous work of the senate consisted
in the main of reference in executive
session of about 1.500 recess noml-
nations, which were sent to the SEN
ate by the president. Speaker Can
non announced the appointment OF
Higgins of Connecticut, to the COM
mittee on judiciary in place of Little
field retired, and of Martin to the
committee on Indian affairs in place
of Barker. deceased Several import
ant amendments to the Hepburn rail-
road rate law were proposed in bills
introduced by Congressman Townsend
of Michigan, one of the most active
advocates of remedial legislation
along interstate commerce lines.
One of the bills gives the interstate
commerce commission power to pro-
hibit the taking effect of an advance
in rates in a case in which shippers
individually or collectively protest
against the advance prior to the ex-
piration of the legal thirty days no.
tice The bill places the burden on
the carrier to show at subsequent
hearing on the proposed rate that the
increased rate is just and reasonable.
Mr.. Townsend would also give the
shippers the right and privilege of
routing and prescribing what connect
ing lines shipment shall take.
An emergency volunteer army mea-
sure was advocated by President
Roosevelt in a special message to
congress and a draft of the bill ac-
companying the message was intro
duced in the senate by Senator Cul-
lon. The president says the bill is
intended to replace the present law
which he declares is faulty and
wholly inadequate to speedy and
proper organization of volunteer
force The proposed bill is elastic;
under its provisions a force Of 2 000,-
900 men could be raised as we'll as

SAN FRANCISCO, April "a
George n. Littell was held under
$4,000 bonds by United States Com
missioner Heacock here for trial be-
fore the United States district court
at Seattle upon the serious charge of
having impersonated a United States
secret service officer. From the testi-
mony 1t was evident that he assumed
this official dignity for the sake Of
impressing the fair sex with his inn
portance, II they had money. Having
made the impression. he straightway
made furious love up to the point of
securing a marriage license, and the
result Of his operations shows that
before the license had been recorded
he had gathered in all the valuables
and coin possessed by the object OF
his attack, and as suddenly faded
away.
His AFFAIRS OF the heart apparently
affected his own, for when a deputy
United States marshal went to the
Alameda county jail today to bring
him before the commissioner Littell
collapsed. Like his lovemaking, how
ever, II was only blum. A physician
examined him, pronounced him sound
but for telltRle marks on his arms.
and he was taken into court at 2
O'Clock. He acted as his own attor-
ney. Among the witnesses who tes-
tined were Mrs. Josephine Dabney, c.

COMNITTTNR MEETING

The democratic county central
committee, at It's meeting in this city
yesterday, passed resolutions indors-
ing Hon. Fred +. Dubois and Hon.
Henry Heitfeld, commanding their Of
forts In public life for the benefit OF
the people and recommending that
they be sent to the national conven-
tion as delegates from Idaho. No one
could ask for a more hearty Indorse-
ment than that contained in the reso-
buttons, and II showed the feeling OF
the committee, with representation
OF IA out Of 80 precincts present.
The resolution went further and in
dorsed the last state platform In full,
recommending It's adoption at the
coming state convention. which in
cludes the anti-polygamy plank and
opposition TO church interference In
politics. II was complete indorse-
ment of the policies of Senator Du-
bols and Il those policies were right
two years ago they are right now.
While we do not consider the resolu-
tions In the nature OF irOnclad In
struotions, every delegate who goes
to the state convention at Twin Falls
II Ia honor bound to represent the
expressed wishes OF the organization
which created him a delegate. His
action IL simply a question Of honor
which shows a confidence In him
without instructions. and when most
men are given a mission to perform
without being pledged, but simply
by being placed on honor, they sell
dom betray the trust, and when they
do so are looked upon as ingrates
unworthy OF the confidence placed IN
them. We do not anticipate that any
delegate viii dishonor himself In this
way.
The meeting OF the commltte was
harmonious and feeling that sue
cess may crown the nomination OF a
good ticket by the convention pre-
vailed. Tho convention was taken to
Harrison because the democrats had
no one to punish. recognizing the
right OF any citizen to east his ballot
for any ticket or person he pleases,
