LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee.
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times q day. Science has found out
differently.
It Ia now a common thing for a fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from a N. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. / tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc.
but got no relief until l tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part Of my meals for two years.

$4,000 worth Of medicine / had taken
before.
my wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we

Grape-Nuts.

Why She Shut Down.

"a charming gentleman, about four
years old, used to pass my house every
day on his way to kindergarten" said
a lady, ''and in course of time l made
his acquaintance and gave a penny to
him each morning when we parted.
Eventually his mother requested
me not to give any more money to
him, The next morning 1 did not pre-
sent the usual penny. He did not seem
to notice the omission. The succeed
ing day, when the penny was not
given to him he said nothing. But on
the morning of the third day, when the
penny was not forthcoming, he sided
up to me and whispered: Whats the
matter. Amt your husband working?'"

they had a great lobby at a distance, and the lobbyists
succeeded in doing their good work.
Recently there came to Washington on a matter
connected with the rights of certain Indians formerly on
the Rosebud reservation, an Indian whose name originally
was Quick Bear, but who now is known as Reuben Quick
Bear. Some time ago 1T was proposedsby a syndicate that
1t buy a large tract Of land from the indians at IS an acre.
Afterward the land doubled In value. Reuben Quick Bear
feared that when the reservation was closed Uncle
Sam would not allow a right and proper price for the
holdings which the Indians were to give up. Reuben
began a lobby on behalf of his brethren. HI wrote this
letter, thereby showing that he knew something of the
ways of a certain class of white men:
"a shyster lawyer named - is in Washington stat
ing that our land is not worth more than $3.50 an acre
He lives in -- and has been sent by the people there to
help beat us in this land deal"
It is conceded in Washington that the most effective
kind Of lobbying is that which is done by the people by
means Of letters and kilograms. OF course, the com.
munications must come In such numbers ais to convince
the congressman that the whole country Is aroused.

worked day and night with voice or by letter and tele-
gram to bring about tie ends that they desired. The
manufacturers, or many of them at least, maintained that
the law as proposed was altogether too drastic, while
those who took the view opposed to that of the manu-
facturers declared that the law could not be made too
severe.
During the time Of the consideration Of the pure food
law in the room of the committee on interstate and for.
eign commerce the most powerful lobbyist that appeared
on behalf of the measure was on the center table. 1t was
a collection of prepared foods gathered from various
parts Of the country and which did not live up to the
labels that were on the outside Of the packages. There
are, and were, plenty of proper foods on the market,
but the foods which the committee had assembled, il
foods they might be called, were Of the kind that nobody
would want to eat. Representative Mann of Illinois was
In charge OF the pure food bill, and he presided over
the display that made the committee room look like a
grocery shop. Mr.. Mann had some fruit jelly or jam on
exhibition that was marked as being the pure product.
IN reality the stuff was composed Of some sticky sub

resent that interest at the capitol uses argument and
not money, and he depends for the strength of his argument
largely upon the fact that laws passed to regulate the
business which he represents may possibly have a bad
effect upon the commercial life of the specific district
which the member approached represents. 1t Is true
that dinners are given at times to members of congress
by the lobbyists on behalf Of special interests. 1t is
doubted If these dinners or the pleading words which
pass between the courses and after the coffee have any
particular weight. The ordinary congressman who wants
TO stay in congress realizes that he has a duty to his
constituents and that if he doesn't do it he probably will
have to stay at home instead Of buying a ticket every
winter for the national capitol.
Some time ago there was established in Washington
what was called THE Peoples Lobby" There were
several active men who, on behalf of this organization,
watched legislation and kept the country informed as to
what, In their opinion, was good or bad in laws that had
been proposed for passage. This peoples lobby virtu-
ally has passed out Of existence, but there is a greater
peoples lobby which has been in existence ever since
the country was founded, and which is in existence to-
day, and which probably will last as long as democracy
lasts. This lobby is public sentiment, and a dozen times
within the last few years it has o~verridden all the arts,
the pleadings, the arguments, and the threats of the in
diyidual lobbyists who have sought to thwart it, An
experience of some years in Washington goes to show
that the representatives of the people in the great mass
are honest men and that the will Of the country out
weighs with them any influence or any money that can
pc brought to bear or used by the lobbyist who Is work
ing for selfish ends.

Humiliation.

A certain small boy of six is rapid
ly assuming manly ways. Not long ago
his room at school planned an en-
tertainment. There were to be little
songs and %recitations and a mystic
rious grabbing. The small boy waxed
eloquent concerning the coming glo-
ries of this show, and more especially
the part he would take.
On the morning Of the entertainment
his mother suggested that he should
take his little sister, aged four, with
him. He hung his head.
Don't you want to take herr" his
mother asked.
mo, I don't" he answered.
"And why not?"
The reply anne quickly.
"'Cause there amt none of tn other
fellers has to bring their children"
