Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.
As old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that

while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts. made Of whole wheat and barley

In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also. placed up I'M

with his election to the Thirty-eighth
congress.
On occasions Senator Allison has
been very near to the nomination of
his party for the presidency, some be-
lieve much nearer than Thomas B.
Reed, Roscoe Conkling. or even John
Sherman. He would have undoubtedly
made good president, the equal Of
many and the superior of some, had
the fortune of politics turned his way.
During the progress of financial
legislation in the present congress he
has been often consulted and, as the
ranking member of the senate COM
mittee on finance, has taken a quiet
and unostentatious but conservative
and helpful part in the framing of
legislation which will relieve the coun-
try from the conditions which resulted
In the panic Of 1907.
Senator Allison is the author of the
internal revenue law of 1868, the es-
sential features Of which are still in
force. Prior to its passage the tax on
distilled spirits was two dollars a gal
Ion and the revenue therefrom about
81, 900. 900, while during the first year
following the passage of the Allison
act the tax, while reduced to rs cents,
amounted, through the elimination of
frauds and its proper collection, to
$36, 000, 900.
He was chairman of special COM
mittee which spent the summer of
1874 investigating the government
of the District of Columbia. The bill
drawn by him as result of this work
repealed existing laws and created the
present form of government, with
three commissioners appointed ~ the
president
Early in 1877 bill was passed by
the house Of representatives for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
There was great clamor for the enact
ment Of the measure In the senate
The bill was referred to the senate
committee on finance and, being
aware that If the senate was called
upon to divide on the question Of free
coinage it would follow the popular
agitation, Senator Allison proposed
the preservation of the gold standard
but at the same time made provision
for limited coinage Of silver on gov.
eminent account.
Senator Allison has all his life been
a student of tariff problems. He had
a considerable part in the framing OF
the Mckinley bill of 1890, and served
on the subcommittee which prepared
the revision OF 1898. He had charge
of the minority report on the Wilson
bill in 1894, and was also member
of the subcommittee which consid.
cred the Dinsley act in 1897, also tax.
ing charge Of the bill on the senate
floor.

WALKING Once an Effort, Now Real Pleasure

Walking, especially in the early nor. ming. is fine exercise, if one Is robust enough to really enjoy 1t. If not, it Is burdensome.
 A lady at Blount Springs. Ala, where the water and fresh air did not seem to build her up as she hoped, found that Grape-Nuts food was just what she needed to give strength. She writes;
 circumstances have made it nec- essary for me and my family to board for the past five years and during that time I have suffered greatly from in digestion. Improper and poorly cooked food being the evident cause of my trouble.
 Indigestion had become chronic and complications arose so that I lived for months at a time on raw eggs; could not even take wine, brandy or milk--the latter souring on my stom- ach. l tried about every known reme- dy and had been here for a month, drinking the water and walking morn ing, noon and night, trying to get re- lief.
 Accidentally I heard of Grape-Nuts and began to eat the food. After about three weeks on this food together with the exercise, I found the greatest re- lief. First noticeable in the morning walk and early rising, which before had been done with the greatest possi- ble effort, but now have become pos itive pleasure-with a gain of 10 lbs.
 Since using this food and being so improved, I meet others also, who have used it with like results. One lady who had been great sufferer from nervous and stomach troubles has been entirely relieved and continues to use Grape Nuts daily in her family" There's a Reason"

 The report follows:
 New Haven, Jan. IS. 1908. To the Residents of Whitneyville. Conn.
 Your committed, to whom at the meeting of December 27, 197, was com mitted the task of prevailing upon the Connecticut company to restore the schedule which has been in operation on the Whitneyville line for the past ten or twelve years. and which was so suddenly and arbitrarily discontinued on December 30, 1907, beg leave to sub init the following report:
 Immediately following the meeting the committee according to your n- structions endeavored to get into com munication with MT. Mellen, but were informed by his chief clerk that he would not consent to meet on this ques- tion. We then endeavored to meet Mir Townley, but were mo more successful here, and finally arranged an interview with MT. A. B. Smith, general traffic manager for December 30 at II a. m
 At this meeting we represented to Mir Smith, the injustice done to the residents by discontinuing the services nnd presented the following arguments That since the beginning of the oper- ation of the line the riding population of Whitneyville has increased over 1JC per cent, and if the managers of tho line during that period were able tc maintain twelve minute schedule
