problem as direction or elevation or
speed to solve. I could hear Lahm

motor soon deadened my ears and we

and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so started the
boy on GrapeNuts and found from the
first dish that he liked it,
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
SO well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.

Il am pleased to say that he got we'll
on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick
TO it for two OF .hree weeks, then he
began to branch out a little with rice

bers of both houses.
In spite of the attention the tariff
bill has lately required, both senators
and representatives have kept close
track of the testimony that has come
out before the board of inquiry. They
have read the full accounts of the
testimony of the young marine officers
mixed up in the affair, and several
have openly expressed their surprise
that such conditions could be possible

At a private social function one of
the powerful Western senators de
clared that he had read every line of
the testimony that the newspapers re-
ported and that the laxness of disci-
pines shown surprised and shocked
him.
l beneVe tina. congress will take up
this marine corps situation in the fall,
no matter what the verdict of the
present board of inquiry may be.
There appears to be among the young
er officers a spirit utterly foreign to
tha- which should mark the men who
have charge of our sea police. 1t may
be necessary to thoroughly reorganize
the system of appointing and training
marine corps afficers.
The unfortunate case of Mr.. SUIT
ton can be cleared up by the present
board of inquiry with perhaps a few
courts martial for the officers who
have on the stand confessed to viola
tons of the regulations, but the root
of the evil-the system-can, to nv
mind, only be corrected by thor

right for the Germans to encourage

and expressed his regret on leaving that
life. He spoke Of the Importance Of the
lawyer to the community I'm which he
lived, of the necessity Of enforcing the law
and of the dire results OF a laxness in this
direction.
Mr.. Taft's remarks on the United States
supreme court attracted much attention.
He described this body and the weight
and Importance which attach to it's de-
cisions, as a new element in civilization.
The United States. he said, was the
originator Of a court of last resort, whose
mediation and settlement of fundamental
disputes was accepted as final. Its benefits
were apparent, and it's usefulness was
growing, particularly in the settlement of
constitutional questions. 1t was true he
said that we had gone TO war once through
Ignoring this tribunal.
The unique position of Mr.. Taft himself
during the campaign Of having to de-
fend himself on the stump for decisions
he had rendered on the bench, was a SUBJ
ject he discussed with no little interest.
This. he believed was the first instance OF
the kind on record.
Mr.. Taft praised the south as he has
found 1t on his present visit, with its
preponderance of hospitality and good
fellowship.

August 8, 1905, for action. 1t was returned
to the chief inspector September 3, 1905,
with the recommendation that a fraud
order be not issued, as IT was not shown
that Dorr was conducting a fraudulent
business.
"The matter was again referred to the
assistant attorney general on account OF
the receipt OF a letter dated November 2,
| 1905, written by Dorr in which he requested
the department to furnish him with a
copy of the inspectors report for publ
| cation. so as TO clear him from the imputa-
ton OF fraud put on him by Senator TIL
