Perfectly Moulded Figures
Another Medical Discovery

To get out of condition is detrimental
to beauty of form as well as to healtn.
There is certain fiabbiness which
robs good figure of charm ana grace.
Those who are beginning to grow fat
rapidly are never in the pink of condi-
ton.
But here medical science has slipped
In with a very wonderful remedy-one
which not only restores perfectly
moulded form but renews ..ealth and
strength. We give the recipe in fun for
the benefit of our stoutish friends: u
or Marmola, u OF. Fluid Extract Cas-
cara Aromatic and s13 or Peppermint
Water.
Any druggist will make up this pre-
scription or supply you with the in
gradients which you can mix yourself.
The dose is one teaspoonfu after each
meal and at bedtime
The great virtue of this harmless rem
edy is that whilst the excess fat is be-
ing expelled. the person under treatment
has healthy appetite and does not
need to study dietetics or go in for tire
some exercises. The whole system is
refreshed and reinvigorated, the biooc

EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use Without Cook
Ing.

Almost everyone axes cereal food
Of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way OF cooking
cereals results in a pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and il not properly d.
gested, the raw mass goes down into
the intestinal tract where gas is gen.
Grated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body we'll.
While poor food, or even fool Of good
quality that is poorly prepared and
not digested. is sure to bring on some
kind of disease
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory. some IL to 16 hours being
consumed in the different processes
OF preparation The food, therefore,
is ready for instant service and the
starch has been changed to a form of
sugar, so that 1t is pre-digested ano
ready for almost immediate absorb
ton.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use Of food
that was not suitable to her powers Of
digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts, and
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
j finally decided to try the food, but
| have not known what indigestion is
since using 1t, and have never been
stronger or in better hoalth. have
increased in weight fiom 100 to 124
pounds.
People can be well, practically with
out cost. if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the indigestible
sort.
There's Reason"
Grape-Nuts food is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. 1t should be served
exactly as 1t comes from the package,
without cooking, except in cases
where it is made up into buildings and
other deserts.-Book of delicious re-

Why7
To the Editor of The Gate City:

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Will you please explain what the
editor of the Standards excuse is for
attacking number of the members
of the council in his last issue as be-
ing opposed to the commission plan OF
vernment-everyone of whom is in
favor of it? If you can not, permit
me to say think / can. At a previ-
Gus sitting of the council this fellow,
through a misunderstanding was al
lowed to print the proceedings of the
council for July and September at an
expense to the tax payers of S231.21
for both meetings. After getting two
publications he was sat down on and
hence his soreness. His frequent at
taeks on a member of the Board of
Supervisors. who prevented him from
getting a large sum for printing the
Governors proclamation, was thought
to be for like cause. He was select
ed as secretary of the School Board
and was anxious for the job at 5000
per year Then his salary was raised
to $500 There were two men want
ed the place at these figures. Now he
has succeeded in getting the salary
raised to 100000. Isn't it about time
somebody should jump on to him?
The inventor of the golden rule would
look like a secondhand dealer in
brass compared with him.

Figures From Payne.

Mr. Taft waited until this after
noon, when, with mass of facts and
figures before him, with new state
ment just prepared by Chairman
Payne of the house committee on
ways and means, and with his own
personal knowledge of all the intimate
little details of the tariff fight in
Washington still fresh in his mind,
he sat down in stateroom in his
private car, the Mayflower, and dictat-
ed to two stenographers the speech
he delivered tonight, and which rep
resents statement on the accomplish
ments and dement's of the Payne bill.
from an administration standpoint,
more thorough in it's simple appeal
for an understanding by the people
than any document which has here
tofore been issued from any source.
The statement contained only
enough figures to make clear point
which the president has dwelt upon
for some time in his confidential talks,
that the measure of the new bill
should be taken by the amount of re.
auctions made on articles of general
consumption compared to the in
creases on articles little used

Higher Duty for Luxuries.

The president, by means of a table
prepared at his request by Mr.. Payne,
showed that the tariff had been in
creased on articles whose consumption
in this country amounts yearly to
1851 100000, and that of this amount
s579. 900, 900 is represented by such
luxuries as silks, wines, liquors, per-
fumes and pomades. leaving a bal
ance of s272,o0O,O00 representing in
creases on articles not Injuries.
Against this the president set forth
with great emphasis in> his delivery
the fact that the tariff had been re-
duced on articles mostly necessities
whose consumption in the country
amounts annually to $4,000, 100000.
The president went into the detail

Duty to the Party.

ITO make party government effec-
tive" said the president tonight, "the
members of that party should sur
render their personal predictions of
comparatively less Importance. / am
not here to criticise those who felt so
strongly and believed so intensely
that 1t was their duty to vote against
the tariff bill, because it did not con-
tain all they thought it should.
1T was question for each man to
settle for himself"
I'm matters of this kind 1t is ques-
ton with the party representative
whether he shall help maintain the
party solidarity for accomplishing its
chief purposes. or whether the de-
parture from principle in the bill, as
he regards it, is SO extreme that he
must in conscience abandon the
party
Further along, the president gave
a final word to the insurgents.
II am glad to see that those who
voted against the bill still insist nat
they are republicans and that they in
tend to keep up the fight for still
lower. tariff rates within the party
That is their right and in their view
OF things, is their duty.

To this statement the crowd in the
Winona opera house responded with a
cheer which could be heard far down
the street. 1t was shouted by the adj
herents of Representative James A.
Tawney of this district, the chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tons, who has been on the defensive
ever since the adjournment of con-
gress because he did not vote with
the other members of the delegation
from Minnesota, both in the house
and senate against the bill.
Mr.. Tawney met the president at La
Crosse, Wis, this afternoon and ac-
companied him to this city, his home
town. 1t had been reported for some

WINONA, Mimi. Sept TIN the
most important utterance he has made
since his occupancy Of the White
House, President Taft here last night,
in state which is the hotbed of the
"insurgent" movement within the re-
publican party, defended the Payne
tariff bill as the best taric measure
ever passed by republican congress,
and hence the best tariff bill the peo-
pie have ever known.
The president boldly asserted that
the insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the republican
party.
WAS it the duty of the member of
congress who believed that the bill
did not accomplish everything that it
ought to accomplish to vote against
it?" asked the president

pressed a fear that the missing man
had been murdered for his money.
He has not seen him since he left
