An Oklahoma woman was saved from loss of health and position by change to right food. She says
 The Spring of 1904 found me almost a nervous wreck from the use of i'm proper food. I could not sleep nor eat anything but what it seemed that my stomach was on fire
 T had the best medical advice I could get, but medicine did not reach my trouble. I was growing worse all the time until I was about to resign my position, thing could not afford to do.
 "A friend brought me a pkg. of that wonderful food, Grape Nuts, and asked if had ever tried it. I told her no. had no faith in it. but to please her promised to use the package before decided what it would do for me.

 Even if this would benefit you, would it not injure others? There are many cloak makers in Cleveland. it is true, but they are few as compared with the cloak users. Would you consider me an honest representative if I would thus consent to injure the many for the benefit of the few, even though the few in this case were yourselves?
 And you ask me to demand in ad- dition to mOnstrous ad valorem duty of 45 per cent, a still more monstrous weight duty of 4912 cents a pound-a weight duty that will make the poorest sewing girl pay as much tax on her cheap shoddy as Mrs. Astor or Mrs Vanderbilt would be called on to pay on a cloak of the finest velvets and embroideriesi Do you really want me to vote thus to put the burden of tax alton on the poor while letting the rich escape? Whether you want me to or not, I will not do it.
 That, as your employers. say. a serviceable cloak can be bought in Berlin at s120. affords no reason in my mind for keeping up the tariff. On the contrary, it is the strongest reason for abolishing it altogether. There are lots of women in this coun- try who would be rejoiced to get cloaks so cheaply; lots of women who must now pinch and strain to get a cloak; lots of women who cannot now afford to buy cloaks. and must wear old or cast-off garments or shiver with cold. Is it not common justice that We should abolish every tax that makes it harder for them to clothe themselves?' "

BACK FROM ROUSE
 AND WELL PLEASED
Things Continue to Move at the Little
 Butte Mine.

J. E. Meyer and party. or at least a part of the party. returned to Phoenix last night from the trip to Bouse. where they went to view the Arizona Rouse company's operations and in- spect the Little Butte mine C. W. Holman, the discoverer of the Rawhide strike, who went out with the party was so greatly pleased with what he saw that he decided to re- main for several days and look over the adjacent country. If he finds the rest of it as promising as what he saw in the near vicinity of Bouse, he will try and interest a lot of his Nevada friends in the district And if Nevada takes hold of the district it means that there will be something doing, on the sensational order, for the Nevada men do not go after anything in a half hearted way.
 The party numbered fourteen in all when it left here. all put three or four returning. One of the party was Geo. W. Bishop. treasurer of the BoUse company. who will stay at the mine for several days. this being his first visit since the company took the prop erty over. Two gentlemen were so i'm pressed with the town that they re- mained for the purpose of buying a lot, building a house and opening a restaurant. Another member of the party was H. w. Bonne of Spokane, a real estate and mining investor who has had large experience in mining in Alaska. He was greatly pleased with what he saw and says he believes the Little Butte will become notable property. one which he would not hesi tate to recommend to his friends.
 J. B. Grand joined the party at W-ickenburg. He is well known en- gineer. as is a MT Chandler who was with him. Both expressed themselves as surprised at the showing made at the Little Butte. MT. Girand, who is also a surveyor, has been employed to survey the Arizona -Bouse property for a patent.
 There was a house warming Tuesday night at the new house recently com pleted for J. C. Denton, the superin- tendent of the Arizona -Bouse, at the mine four miles from Bouse. There were sixty-two present at the party, most of them coming from Bouse in automobiles and carriages. The even ing was spent very enjoyably, refresh ments being served at a late hour.
 The Little Butte mine is now equip ped with it's new gasoline hoist, the gaIlows frame is up and all is running along smoothly The shaft is down 65 feet and light sulphide ores are coming in rapidly.
 The town of Bouse Is booming. Most of the material for the new Burke ho- tel is on the ground and the laying of the adobe walls has begun.
 Another gentleman who went out on the same train with the Phoenix party is a Mir Weed, who is representing the Lewissohns, one of the biggest copper operating companies Tn the world. His mission there is to inspect properties He told Mir Meyer he had heard so much about the Little Butte he pro- poses to look it over after he finishes his other business. The Lewissohns are behind the Ray Central, one of the large companies now operating in the Ray Kelvin district.

Tom Johnson on Making cIoaks Dear

Tom Johnson on Making cIoaks Dear.
 In the American Magazine for March, Ida M Tarbell writes an article which she entities Where Every Pen ny Counts" It is an article which shows how the tariff has increased the cost of living for the poor. Following is an interesting passage which reveals Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland in a pleasing light He was in congress at the time:
 Surely there can be no longer any Justification In this country of duties which increase by even a penny the cost to the poor of any necessary ar ticle of food, of shelter, of clothing. The answer to every prayer for such protection should be the one that Tom Johnson made in 1893 to the cloak workers of Cleveland, who had pleaded with him to vote against the Wilson tariff bill, unless it was amended by adding to the duty of 45 per cent ad valorem, on cloaks, which it proposed, and additional duty of 491k cents per pound.
 "T shall do nothing of the kind said Johnson. My objection 90 :ne Wilson is not that its duties are too low, but that they are too high. will do all can to cut its duties down, but I will strenuously oppose putting them up. You ask me to vote to make cloaks artificially dearer. How can l do that without making it harder for those who need cloaks to get cloaks?

cIeveIand's Way of Doing Things

George F. Parker in McClure's Magazine.)
 A question had been raised about the relation which Mir. Garland, the attorney general, had held, before his appointment, as counsel to the tele- phone patents. The newspapers had been filled with this talk for time and the opinion prevailed in news paper circles that the charge con- tained the potentialities of a real po- litical scandal In the cabinet, the conclusion was reached that some of- ficial explanation must be made by Mr Garland. It was therefore agreed that he should prepare a statement in the form of a letter to the presl- dent. to be made public as an author ized defence on the part of the ad- ministration.
 We found in the long-locked room the original of this document in the handwriting of the attorney general. But Mir. Cleveland had not been sat isfied with either the form or the ar guments of the suggested letter, and, docketed with it, we found second draft of lhe prGposcd stat"n.rnt- It was in 7Ir. CleveIanI's handwrit- ing. and covered rom twelve to twenty pages ot foolscap, not one one of his easily recpSniZe1 rough drafts. but a fair copy. He had not been satisfici with the orgu- rnents of the attorney general in his own behalf, and had consequent ly taken up the case, studied the details with the same care that he would have given to | law case un- der his control, and had then writ ten and addressed to himself the letter which. in other circumstances he would have submitted to a client in the form Of an opinion. Neither statement was ever used; but the incident illustrated Cleveland's pains taking methods.
