not hesitate to say that in my judy
ment a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-

rience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely Of its merits.

years with malnutrition, palpitation Of

toms disappeared, my hearts action
became steady and normal, the func-
tons of the stomach were properly
carried out and again slept as sound

that it has most prominent place in

answered. "And yet" continued the
school inspector, "all of you eat many
an apple in the course of year and
see the fruit every day, probably. You
must learn to notice the little things

WOULD Be UNWISE
HOUSE REPUBLICANS DECIDE NOT
TO PASS ANTliNJuNc-
TON BILL. .AMs
SENTIMENT EVENLY DIVIDED
Caucus Debated the Various Bills
From 8 to 1880 O'clock Thurs
day Night-About
Adjournment.

Washington, May 23-No bill to
modify the power Of the federal courts
the exercise of injunctions will be
passed at this session Of congress. 1t
was decided Thursday night at con-
ference of the Republican members of
the house that to enact such meas
ure would be unwise. The conference
was in session from eight o'clock un-
til 1880. The various so-called anti
injunction bills that have been intro
3uced were discussed and various
amendments to them were proposed
Between eleven o'clock and the hour
Of adjournment three votes of the
caucus were cast. The first vote was
on motion by Mr.. Fassett IN. W
to adjourn the caucus sine die. This
motion was lost, GO to GO. Fifteen
minutes later Mr.. Tawney (Minn.)
moved to take a recess until Friday
night. This motion also was lost, 81
to Ga. At 1880 Mr.. Sherman IN. "
made motion to adjourn sine die,
and 1t prevailed by vote of 10 to 60.
Shortly after he had made his motion
of adjournment Mr.. Fassett was over
come by the heat and closeness of the
atmosphere in the chamber and was
assisted to the lobby. There he faint
ed. Several Of his colleagues and en-
ployes Of the house restored him to
consciousness by the application of
cold water, and apparently he fully
recovered.
AS indicated by the several votes
taken, sentiment for and against "a
modification bill was pretty evenly d.
vided, and those who led in the de-
bate took part with much vigor and
spirit.
After the adjournment of the caucus
Speaker Cannon expressed the opinion
that 1t would be eight or ten days be-
fore final adjournment of congress
could be reached. He said:
1--WE have filibuster on which pre-.
vents action on more than five or six
bills a day. There are 20 measures
now in conference and you can make
your own estimate as to the time 1t
will take no dispose of them. We are
not going to turn tail and run. Pos
sibly the senate can adjourn without
the house, but l am under the impress
sion that 1t would find some constitu-
tional obstacles In the way of its do
ing So"

WHEN HE CAME HOME.
Mobile Youth Evidently Not One to
Trifle with Truth.

Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee's
famous head, said recently in New
York that the thought the closing of
saloons of the south would be a good

with a smile:
"Oh, what vague objection!

brated Easter In the Enclosed saloons

WHEAT DECLINES
 ON HEAVY SELLING
Sentiment Is Bearish During
 Most of the Day
DROP IS NEARLY TW0CENTS
Corn Is 5earishIy Affected by Slump in Wheat and Increased Country offerings-Oats and Provi-
 sions Close Steady.

Chicago, December 9.-Wheat prices on. the local exchange declined sharply to- day, the July delivery dropping below the dollar mark. The close was weak at the lowest point of the day. with July at 9eSsc and May at $1.O79s Corn closed weak and oats and provisions steady
 The severe slump in wheat prices oc- cured late in the session, although with the exception of a brief period during the first hour sentiment in the pit was bearish all day. The decline carried prices down 194e to 2Ac from the high points of the day. The July delivery sustained the greatest loss and was subjected to heavy selling pressure throughout the entire day the selling being based on the bear tsh showing of the government report is- sued Monday and on the favorable wealth CT conditions now prevailing in the Uni ted States for the fall sown crop. A de- cline at Minneapolis, notwithstanding ex- tremely small receipts in the northwest, also had a depressing effect. There was some buying by bulls early in the day which caused moderate firmness for short time, but later these same interests became free sellers. From $1 O99s the May option declined to $1.O75s, while July dropped from $1 .017s to 995sc. At the close ali deliveries were at the bottom price.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of 345 cars, against 512 last week and 653 year ago.
 Corn was bearishly affected by the slump in wheat and by a renewed liqui- dation of the December delivery. As result of the selling pressure on the De- cember option the price of that delivery declined 1ssc from the high point of the day. The profit-taking was based on in- creased offerings from the country, con- tinued favora ble weather for the move ment and slack shipping demand. At the sample tables prices were Ac to 3sc higher. The market closed weak at the low point. Final quotations on May were at 62@62bc, and on December 5S9sc Local receipts were 264 cars, with 20 of contract grade.
 Oats were firm all day, despite the weakness of other grain. Demand was active and general The bullish situa- tion in regard to the cash grain was the chief influence. Receipts were small, ship ping demand brisk and prices at the sam pie tables up 1ac to 1c. The close was firm, with prices 14c lower to Ac higher, with December at 5O16c and May at 5S@ 53isc. Local receipts were 61 cars.
 Provisions were dull and steady. There was some selling by western packers but offerings were not large At the close prices were Dc to 7i5@1Oc higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat 33 cars, corn 363 cars, oats S5 cars, hogs Al ,0O0 head.

LIVELY TRADING
 IN STOCK MARKET Revived Interest Is Apparent In
 Obscure Stocks
  GOOD ADVANCES ARE MADE Dealings Are Free From Pressure Throughout the Day, But Stocks
 That Have Hitherto Led
 Put Into Background.
GOOD ADVANCES ARE MADE

New York, December 9.-There was ex- traordinary variety in the public dealing in stocks today, but little to account for the newly revived interest Transactions were moderate in a large number of se- curities that have not appeared on the tape before in months, and only few times in the course of year. Others which customarily occupy a place in the background were rushed forward to the forefront of the market The conse- quence was a long list of different se- curities of which sales were made at sensational price changes when com pared with preceding quotations. There was a corresponding retreat into compar- alive obscurity of many of the stocks which have furnished the staple for spec ulative activity for many months. The former leaders in the market were quet in tone and moved but little. In some respects such market may be accepted as a reflection of broadening tendency in the interest felt.
 The high grade standard stocks Whlen are the more representative or general conditions are always first to move In A sneeulatiye advance and it is not un- us1lal for lower grade, less representa- tive stocks to be brought into adjust ment to a rise in a belated movement By the time this process has reached down to the dregs of the market, and has stirred up a movement in stocks or which any value.is problematical the in ference is drawn by the practiced mar ket operator that a movement Is ap- preaching it's continuation. There were appearances to suggest such conclusion In today's market, but there was less readiness to accept it.
 Today's market, in fact, was remark ably free from pressure or from hostile attempts to reverse the prevailing tend ency, in spite of the admittedly sus- picious appearance of the movement. The effective control has been so often dem onstrated by the directing leadership and the faith is so widespread in the power and resources of this leadership that con- fdence is maintained in its ability to hush prices higher by main force. The
 contingent is timid about contesting t ,owerful a control and leaves the ad-
 ,e little contested.
 lere was a fairly effective demon
 tion in the trunk line group, includ-
 the coalArs during the day. This
 the only notable exception to the
 dominance of the low-grade stocks in
 days dealings. Some importance
 attached to the report of truce in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-10

the Illinois Manufacturers associations fight against the proposal to increase freight rates and 1t was inferred that such an advance would be accomplished. There was a rumor that early congress sional action was in prospect looking to the abrogation of the commodities clause of the Hepburn law. Repetition of ru- inors of an active share in directing the affairs of New York Central by E. H. Hartman was an influence on this group. The advance in the Western Union divi- dend was a favorable factor. good impression was made by the increase in the revenues of this corporation. Allow ance had to be made, however for the comparison with the period last year when revenues were still affected by the strike.
 While the closing tone of the market was irregular from selling to take profits most of the days advances were re- tained.
