From early childhood | suffered

had to use laxatives continuously going
from one drug to another and suffering
more or less all the time.
"A prominent physician whom | con-
suited told me the muscles of the diges-
tive organs were partially paralyzed
out help of some kind, so l have tried
at different times about every laxative
and cathartie known, but found no help
that was at all permanent. l had final
ly become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless when | began to
use the pre-digested food, Grape-Nuts.
Although l had not expected this
food TO help my trouble. to my great
surprise Grape Nuts digested immedi-
ately from the first and in a few days
| was convinced that this was just
what my system needed.
THE bowels performed their func-
tons regularly and / am now complete

trouble.

The elder Mr.. Humphreys has been

VS.. CONGRESSMAN
Says Representatives Who Voted for
Cannon Will Be Retired

William Allen White has given out
| at Kansas City a very bitter interview
| against Speaker Cannon and declares
! that all the Kansas congressman who
voted for Speaker Cannon, save pos
sibly Madison, who he counts against
the speaker will be retired from office.
| White said:
THE people are tired of Cannon.
They are going to retire him from pub
| lie life. Here in the west and the mid
| die west the great movement for pro-
gress is we'll under way, and there is
| nothing that can stop it. Before the
| end of the Taft administration, the pro-
gressive element of the Republican
party will be in control; the cid of
| things reactionary is in sight.
Emma Goldman, in her palmiest
days, never made SO many anarchists
az Cannon.
Public sentiment on the subject is
crystallized it is only matter of cast
ing the ballots Anyone who supposes
that Cannon and his followers are not
going to be swept out of public life at
the very first opportunity can have lit
tie conception of the temper of the pep
pie.
We have had our last Missouri COM
promise. We are going into the ire
pressible conflict. And mark this sig
nificant thing, and make the applica-
ton: In practically every state except
one, that furnished progressive sena-
Aldrichism, the direct primary was in
vogue.
I'VE have the direct primary in KAN
sas. And there can be no question that
the state, under this direct prin airy is
going to make a sweeping cleanup of
its misrepresentation in the national
congress.
There ere six districts in Kansas
represented by congressman who ap-
parently have no conception of things

son are progressively count that Mad
ison is with the people. But in each of
these six districts represented by Can
non congressman the people are surely
going to make a change.
The strongest men are going to be
nominated ana they are going TO win
The people are in earnest. No sort of
political intrigue, such as the nominal
ton of favorite sons, is going to defeat
the will of the people.
IF any favOrite sons are nominated
the people will understand that they
are friendly 10 the reactionary con-
gressmen in whose behalf they are run
ming, and they will take votes from
him.
Those who believe in different things
in Kansas are going to be united in
this fight. and they are going to win.
Il believe that the Parsons charges
against Cannon confirm all the enemies
OF Cannon have ever charged against
Glnl. ne Authenticity OF the charges,
backed by the investigator for Governor
Hughes and by Chairman Parsons, of
the New York state Republican central
committee, put it UP 10 Cannon and
his friends either to answer the charges
specifically or retire him from public
life.
There has been no scandal in our
American politics that has been more
disgracaful than that. and any Kan
sas congressman who attempts to stand
by Cannon will also have to defend his
robbery of elections and his prostitution
of the ballot of the people,

My Dear Comrade:-It has been re-
ported to these headquarters that you

it is true. let me ask you in the name
of the grand record you have helped
to make to reinstate at once.
We are about to build memorial
building, and in that we will have a
Grand Army hall and museum that
will stand as a sacred monument to
our memory. In this hall will be the
names inscribed in it's marble walls of
all the Grand Army of Kansas, both
dead and living, who are in good
standing. This will be the first hall
of its kind in the world. and it will
be a proud distinction to have your
name engraved there in a marble
tablet, to receive the most sacred
recognition by the generations of men
who are to live after us. 1t will be
a most holy presence for our posterity
to enjoy, and they will point with
pride to the names of their ancestors
who helped to save the union and es-
tablish the model free government of
the world. Remember there will new
er be another Grand Army of the Re-
public when we have passed into his
tory. The books will be closed.
Let me urge you, therefore, to
place your name while you have the
opportunity in the honored list of
American heroes, where 1t can be re-
ferred to as an unquestionable record
of your part in the stirring events that
saved the Union. Not only your pos
terfty and friends will read it with
pride, but all patriotic men and women
in the years to come will read these
names with thoughts of emotion and
patriotic devotion to the country you
gave them. Conrade. come and join
US, and let us go. down the declivity of
life as harmonious whole. The end
is near, and the history of the Grand
Army that saved the Union is about
