rRAkEp SITUATION WITH A FINE
TOOTH COMB"

A rather comprehensive critical
summary of the work OF the Repuoil-
can convention In this city is con-
tainsd in the following paragraph.
with which the Richmond News Lead
er yesterday opened discussion OIL
the convention and the government
which is being given Virginia by the
Democrats:
Commenting on the Republican
convention and platform, the Times
Dispatch today says 1t locks as II the
Republicans had lacked the boldness
TO make the most of their opportuni-
ties To the contrary 1t looks to us
as IL the Virginia Republicans had
raked the situation with a fine tooth
comb and searched It with a micros-
cope In their efforts to find pretext
and opportunities for attacking the
Democratic party here. The results
are incense quent:ai. The Democratic
party position on the liquor question
not the position Of Judge Mann or
Mr.. Tucker-practically is endorsed.
The State government is accused
vaguely OF extravaganza; of unfair
methods In election and of taking
Floyd county out of one congressional
district and putting II in another Tor
political reasons. This array OF
charges Is net formidable. Probably
never in the history of this country
has q party controlled State as many
years as the Democratic party has
controlled Virginia and been required
to meet so little accusation OF a def
mite or direct character"
The truth of what the News Leader
says. certainly Of most Of the state
ments, must impress anyone who
reads the Republican platform. The
i.cuor question. with the plank for To-
cal option on the county unit system,
and strict enforcement; Of the law, Is
made the principal issue OF he cam
psign. Surely this is so close to the
Democratic position that no issue be-
tween the parties on that question
can be made. OF course Democrats as
well as Republicans are somewhat d.
vidtd upon the liquor questions. and
perhaps always will be. but this paper
is confident that a large majority OF
the Democratic voters stand together
On the local option principle. And
both OF the Democratic candidates Tor
governor have declared for local op-
ton and are making their fight upon
this platform.
As the News Leader says. the vague
charges of extravaganza brought
against the Democratic party in the
ysrgiEia G. o. p. platform are purs Iy
campaign talk. The Republican lead
ers would not think Of suggesting :

Marat,s Bath Tub.

From the London illustrated News.
The bathtub in which Marat was
killed by Charlotte Is still In existence.
A man who has seen it in Paris, where
1t now Is on sale, says it is totally un-
like the bathtubs with which we are
familiar.
It Is shaped like a sabot or shoe, and
is coveted except for a space where
the bather gets In. 1t is not long
enough for a man to stretch out com
~fortably. That would be impossible,
anyway, owing to the shape. The oc-
cupant must sit up, his head and
shoulders coming out Of the ankle Of
the shoe.
On the upper part there are two
hooks which could be used to support
a desk. A sort Of stool In copper is
fixed to the bath which enables the
bather to sit and write. Under this
stool the heating apparatus was placed.
The bath has not been used since the
murder, and even now. perhaps, the
bloodmarks Of the friend OF the peo-
pie" can be seen. At least the sui
phur and other chemicals used by
Marat, who, as is known. suffered from
a skin disease, Ave left their trace on
the metal.
After passing through many hands
the bath came into the possession Of
the cure of Sargeau, who sold it to
the Grevin Museum for 1900 francs.

II am se~yenty-seyen years old, and

itching; when l did sleep it was from

irritation; it was even in my scalp.
The doctors medicine seemed to make
me worse and I was almost out Of my

them persistently for twenty-four

After using laxative and cathartfc
medicines from childhood a case Of
chronic and apparently incurable consti-
patton yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in a few days.
From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that l
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
and could not perform their work with
out help Of some kind, so / have tried
at different times about every laxative
and cathartic known, but found no help
that was at all permanent. I had final
~ become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless when l began to
use the pre-dlgested food, Grape Nuts.
Although / had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi-
ately from the first and in q few days
l was convinced that this was just
what my system needed.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced 1t a local disease
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Radium Found in Russia.

The czar of Russia is richer by many
millions today than he ever was be-

tina the waters of Druskenzie lax and
the hundreds of square miles of marshy
land surrounding 1t are brimful Of rad
ium. This discovery Is expected to re-
duce the price Of radium materially.
The lake and surrounding property are
the private property of the czar.
