Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable TO eat even a light break
fast. for years, without severe distress.
he has trouble enough.
II is small wonder he likes to tell OF
food which cleared away the troubles.
Il am glad Of the opportunity to tell OF
the good Grape Nuts has done for me -
writes a y II. man. For many years
was unable TO eat even a light breakfast
without great suffering.
After eating I would suddenly be
seized with a terrible attack OF collie
and vomiting This would be followed
by headache and misery that would
sometimes last a week or two. leaving
me so weak~I could hardly sit up OF
walk.
"Since 7 began to eat Grape-Nuts I
have been free from the old troubles. /
usually eat Grape-Nuts food one or
more times day. taking it at the be-
ginning OF the meal. Now I can eat
almost anything I want without trouble
when I began to use Grape Nuts

weigh thirty pounds more than I ever
weighed in my life. and I am glad to
speak Of the food that has worked the

SENATOR FORAKER
ILL AT HIS HOME
Overwork Responsible for
BreakdoWn-La Toilette
and Elkins Also Sick.

Senator Foraker has not been in his
seat in the Senate for several days, and
II is reported that he Is quite III at
his Sixteenth street home
The Ohio man has been through
most harassing experience in the last
two years. incident to his contest for
political honors in Ohio. He has been
FAR from well during a good part of the
present session, and the worries OF his
political night have naturally aCcentuat-
ed his troubles. Some of his colleagues.
among whom he is universally popular.
are worried about his condition.
Working for Reelection.
1t is an open secret that one object
Of the under-the-surfaca manipulation
that has been going on lately, in con-
nection with political matters, has been
10 take care OF the Senator and open
way 10 make II possible for him TO be
reelected the coming year.
Senator Foraker's position is peculiar.
He has repeatedly said that his fght
was not really against Taft. Rather, ne
has been opposed TO certain Of the
Roosevelt policies. and has stood up TO
the rack and fought the President with
a zeal and earnestness that seemed TO
betoken the most deep-seated conviction.
He was the only Republican who voted
against the railroad rate bill, and he
did that al a time when, perhaps, no
State IN the Union contained more senti-
ment for such a measure than Ohio.
He took up the cause Of the diScharg-
ed Brownsville soldiers with his usual
enthusiasm Whether he took II up be-
cause of conviction or because he saw
in il opportunity to make trouble for
the Administration, it is certain that he
had record on the negro question
which made natural his appearance as
champion OF the race in such a con-
nectiOn.
Reason for Giving Up Fight.
When he gave up his fight for this
session, II was commonly believed that
there had been an agreement by which
he was to relieve the Taft campaign
OF the embarrassment which it would
suffer If that matter were forced 10 an
issue, and that in return he would prob
ably be given absOlution and the privi-
lege OF returning 10 the Senate.
The amount OF work which Senator
Foraker has done in connection with
his night has been sufficient TO break
down any ordinary man long before the
burden became too great for him The
truth is that the national politician Of
hrst-class prominence. who gives him
self over to the tasks imposed on him
without restraint, is pretty certain 10
undertake more than flesh and blood
can carry,
Today. there are three Senators con-
fined 10 their homes by illness, in every
one Of whose cases may be traced the
effects of overwork. Foraker Is one;
and at the very political antipodes,
stands La Toilette, who has been unable
TO stend sessions most of the year, and

Senator William Warner OF Missouri
enjoys the reputation OF getting more
jobs fer constituents than any other
man in the Senate. Scarcely a day
passes that Senator Warner does not
visit the WhiteN House. He seldom
goes there without asking for an ap-
pointment out in Missouri, and he sell
dom goes away without assurance that
the appointment will be made.
IT has been computed by some one
good at mathematics that Senator
Warner has secured more than 500 ap-
pointments to Federal jobs for his con-
sutuents. he has been in the Senate a
little more than three years. He has. il
appears, got an average OF about one
appointment per day for each working
day since he entered the Senate. This
includes postmasters, bank examiners,
collectors. and Federal officers Ct all
sorts. President Roosevelt has not
thwarted Senator Warner save in one
case, the appointment OF Frank wy
man as postmaster in 81. Louis.
Hungry for Office.
Senator Warner has had an enormous
amount Of Federal patronage 70 dis

sist of the Schubert Male Quartette
of Springfield, Mass, Miss Lauretta
Mulligan, mandolinist; Daniel Blans-
field, banjo soloist; Eugene +. Egan
mandolinist and J. J. Derwin, banjo
list. The Schubert Male ,Quartette
is one of the very best organizations
of its class in the state Of Massachu-
sets. They are at present negotiat-
ing with the White Entertainment
Bureau of Boston for an extended
trip throughout the country and have
an excellent reputation. Miss Multi.
gan has appeared at several former
local concerts upon which occasions
she has made a decided impression
Daniel Blansfield Is a rising young
banjoist of splendid promise and
seems destined some day to be at the
very top in his chosen profession. Mr.
Egan will upon this occasion make
his initial bow TO the local public
having recently returned from New
Haven where he has been teaching
for the past year. He is splendid
mandolinist. Mr. Derwin has risen
rapidly and now stands among the
foremost members of his profession
both as teacher and performer. He
has been engaged as banjo soloist at
the American guild of banjoists, man.
dolinists and guitarists' national con-
cert in Washington, d. c. on May s
This organization is composed Of the
foremost teachers and performers OF
these instruments in the United
States and the honor of being a So
loist at their annual concert is the
highest honor that can be attained
by any member of the profession. The
mandolin orchestra has improved
greatly since their last appearance
and is now easily the best that MI
Derwin has ever conducted. They
have recently added several new bass
instruments of the mandolin family
and have now a most eomplent or
ganization. The variety of effects
and tone color derived from the full
Instrumentation is astonishing and
must be heard TO be appreciated. The
banjo club is a very well trained
body and render the pieces chosen in
dashing, spirited manner. that Is
sure to be favorably received on this
occasion. There will be an informal
dance after the concert. Tickets are
now on sale at briggs & Smiths and
Sonnenberg's and Fulton's music
stores. also at Mr. Derwin's studio

 The interior of the steel safe which comprises the final resting-place of the Declaration contains four drawers.
