Mr.. Taft will have a Republican con-
needed reforms that have been prom
Used. The financial situation will re-
main easier after Mr.. Tafts election,
and when money moves. business
grows, and laboring men as well as
others, enjoy prosperity.
Friends Of Union Labor.
Though formerly a Democrat, I'll
not only vote for Mr.. Taft this year
but I'll vote for the Republican state
ticket because I believe that most Of
the candidates are friends Of union
labor. On account of my office l travel
about the state a good deal and
think that / can safely say that my
vote will be only one out of thous-
ands of union labor votes that will be
cast for Mr.. Taft next month. I think
it is safe to say that as per cent of
union labor men will vote the Repub-
lican ticket.
"'Gompers' promise to Bryan was
silly and in bad taste. Gompers had
no more right to promise candidate
the votes of the union men than I
have. The Brotherhood is allied to
the Federation of Labor, but the Fed
era ton may not dictate to us in pol
tiles In fact. l fail to see how Com

in any way. The Federation is a sort
of~clearing house for the unions. That

 -Four years ago was stricken with an eye trouble. After being unsuc- cessfully treated by several physicians and occuists, l went to q noted New York hospital.
 "On examination they pronounced my case iritis (intlammation of the iris), caused by poor blood on account of improper assimilation of food,
 "They had to operate on my right eye, keeping me in dark room and on strict diet for several weeks. When leaving, the doctor cautioned me in regard to saving the other eye, saving that l must be temperate as to my diet and use neither tea nor cof- fec.
 "I told him 1t would bc almost i'm possible for mo to got and live on what they had given mo at the hos pital He replied; Tt is not necessary. As an official here l cannot recom- mend any private brand of food or drink As friend l advise you to try Grapo-Nuts, discard all fatty heat ing foods as much as possible espe- cially in the morning,
