"Yet the health of suoh nn thsas in.

Yet the health of such aS these in. variably soon gives way. First they become ghastly thin-sometimes al- most approaching the skeleton stage then they lose strength, ambition and lastly life itself
 Tn the country it is different. Many farmers who raise poppies do not smoke opium. As result they have good health and live long. It is not unusual for 3 Chinese farmer to reach the age of 70 or 80 and occasionally one hangs on until he is 100"
 Those who have believed that opium smoking is natural vice in China will perhaps be surprised at the consuFs statement to the contrary. Yet this statement is verified by the fact that China's birth rate remains moderately high, notwithstanding the low rate in the cities, where opium is used.
 But, if the consurs statement be sur prising, what must be said of that of Dr. Hamilton Wright. Dr. Wright says the Chinese who are resident in America are rapidly giving up the use of the drug. The better class of Ori- ental eXiles not only do not smoke, but regard with scorn any of their countrymen who do.
 Why, then, are the importations of smoking opium into the United States increasing? And who smoked the million and a quarter dollars worth that was imported in the first II months of last year?
 In the answer to these questions lies the interest of the United States in ex- cluding opium from this country and stopping it's use everywhere. The fact is that American women, or at least white women, used large part of the smoking opium that was brought into the country last year and therefore supplied much of the great sum that went to pay for it. Even the lowest white men are not likely to develop a hankering for opium, but degraded white women yield to it as readily as any Chinese ever did. Possibly they want to forget perhaps opium helps them to blot out for time that which they would not remember. In any event, every great city contains places where women may go to smoke opium, and in New York in particular, one need not go far down the hall of many a cheap lodging house to catch the fumes of the drug with which China has wres- tied for TOO years.
 If white women used even half of the smoking opium that was brought to the United States last year, and each woman during the year bought $2O worth there are 30,O0O such women in this country It doesn't seem pos siblel But the opium was brought

men who have been using tobacco 20 30 or 40 years. They have the habit. That's the difference-public officials in China have not the opium habit.
 Tt is unfortunately true that the lower classes in the cities are slaves of the pipe. When poor man lives on a farm, he seems to get along easily without using opium, but when he comes to the city he picks up the habit within year. If he smokes in moderation no great harm seems to come to him for a while, though ulti- mately it undermines his health. But the trouble is that few Chinese in the cities use opium moderately. They soon smoke as many times as they can during the day, and go at it again at night, continuing until sleep over- powers them. In this way they econo- mize on food, for one who smokes immoderately cannot eat much and they are also able to do a great amount of work for a while without feeling the usual fatigue,

1850 he saved them the trouble by dying
 From that day until two years ago no Chinese emperor dared say any thing against smoking. The Chinese raised poppies in nine of the eighteen provinces of their country, and would have raised more if the climate and the soil had been suitable. From an importer of the drug China has be. come an exporter, Almost all of the opium that is brought into the United States comes from the Flowery king dom. No longer does it pay tribute to Britain for it's supplies. Britain can tax the trade in her own India, but that's a good deal like trying to lift herself by her own bootstraps. And as was said at the beginning, when national vice does not pay it is in a bad way.
 The Chinese consul in New York was sought to throw light on the ef- forts of his government, after 70 years Of silent resignation, to free it's sub jects from the opium habit. He was educated at George Washington and Columbia universities and speaks Eng fish we'll.
 Will the Chinese" he was asked, be able to break off the opium habit in the ten years in which they have been given to do it?"
 T think so,' he replied. "The gov ernment has already taken extraordi- nary measures to curtail the sale of the drug, and the increasing difficulty with which it may be obtained will as- sist victims of the smoking habit in breaking off. It used to be, for in- stance, so that any coolie in a city need not go more than half the length of one of your city blocks to find a place where he could buy all the opium he wanted or could pay for more than that, there were in all Chi nese cities places where anybody could go to smoke the pipes and other appliances being furnished by the proprietors. These places were for the accommodation of the poorer class of Chinese who could not afford to own pipes. It was the custom of Chi nese laborers to drop into these re- sorts two or three times 6 day and smoke, just as an American laborer may take a glass of beer at noon and another at night.
 All this is now changed The Chi nese government has imposed the same sort of regulations upon the sale of smoking opium that many American municipalities have imposed upon the sale of liquor. If the public officials of America were suddenly ordered to stop smoking cigars I imagine the command would be obeyed only with the greatest difficulty by some of the

PRIZE FOOD PaatabIe, Economical, Nourishing.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words, and that rom personal experience. She writes:
 After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, cannot say enough in its 1aVor We have used this food almost continually for seven years.
 We sometimes tried other adver- Used breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal atable, economical and nourishing of all.
 When I quit tea and coffee and be- gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts was a nervous wreck. I was so ir- rltable l could not sleep nights, had no interest in life.
 After using Grape-Nuts short time began to improve and all these ail- iAents have disappeared and now I am s Well woman. My two children have peen almost raised on Grape-Nuts, which they eat three times a day. They are pictures of health and nave never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough .ley could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed.
 Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor oiiis, and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us."

here, sold, paid for, and smoked, and those who are most familiar with the facts say that white women used much of it.
 Such despondency as they never knew will be ahead of these women after the bill to exclude smoking opium becomes a law To be caught smoking or merely to be found with the drug in ones possession will then make the offender liable to two years Imprisonment. Yet precisely as there were Chinese 500 years ago who lost their heads because they could not forego their pipes, doubtless there are American woman who will go to prison if they can get the forbidden drug with which to violate the law For it is as difficult to break bad habit as it is to form a good one.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.
Keen Rivalry Among House Members
for Honor of Filling Vacancies.

Washington, March 7-As the ways
and means committee of the house will
have the important duty of reporting
the new tariff bill, there is keen rivalry
among members Of the house for the
honor Of filing the three vacancies en-
the committee. The one vacancy in
the republican membership made by
the expiration of the term OF Repre-
sentative Bonynge of Colorado will in
all probability be filed by q member
from western state. Representatives
Howell of Utah, Burke and Martin OF
South Dakota and Cushman of Wash
ingSon have been suggested.
Francis Burton Harrison Of New
York although having served only one
term In congress, is most prominently
spoken of for the vacancy in the mil
caused by the retirement of Bourle
Cochran Of New York. 1t is under
stood that Serene Payne, chairman of
the committee, favors Mr.. Harrison,s
appointment, but Champ Clark, minor
ity leader, has declared that he will not
give committee appointments any con-
sideratfon until the, eight on the rules
ms been settled.
Representative William Sulzer of
New York, who has served in seven
congresses, is also a prominent candf-
date for Mr. Cockran's place. No men
ton has been made of any candidates
for the vacancy caused by the death Of
Representative Granger (democraO of
Rhode Island, but it is believed that q
democrat from New England will be
given this place. It is generally be-
Heved that Representative De Almond
will succeed Representative Clark on

MR.. AND MRS. ROOSEVELT
Trudge Three Miles Through Snow
and Slush to Church.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, March For
mer President Theodore Roosevelt and
his wife trudged today through the
sluSh and snow to church. They had
left Sycamore Hill, three miles from
the village. at 1890 a. m. The for
mer president was dressed in a gray
sack suit and had on hobnailed heavy
russell shoes. 1t was with his usual
rapid stride that he swung along, and
Mrs. Roosevelt had difficulty in Keep
ing pace with him. They were in their
pew at Christ Episcopal church ten
minutes before the hour for service.
On the way from home they met
many of their neighbors and chatted
with them. Their children, Miss Ethel
and Kermit, rode to church 70 a cart.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt is not a mem
Der of the Episcopal church, being a
member of the Dutch Reformed church,
he partook of the sacrament with
Mrs. Roosevelt and their children
There were no curious persons to see
Mr.. Roosevelt at the church.
The Roosevelts left the church be-
fore the services were quite over and
thus the former president ESCAPED re-
ceiving the greetings of those pres
ent. He and Mrs. Roosevelt started at
brisk gait for Sycamore Hill three
miles away.
During the afternoon Mr. Roosevelt
remained in his library reading. He is
thoroughly enjoying a much needed
rest. No visitors have been received
at Sycamore Hill He is spending his
mornings indoors and afternoons out
of doors. He insists upon having a
certain amount of air to keep in trim
for his African expedition.
EARLY this week, probably tomor-
row, Mr.. Roosevelt will go to New
York on a business trip.
