FLOOD OF BILLS
Continued from PAGE y

II had been anticipated that there
might be some pilikia over the adop-
ton OF the rules, but beyond a half
hearted attempt on the part of Ka-
niho to interfere, nothing happened
aud the rules that governed the pre-
yious session were adopted.
The expected trouble over the seat
Ing of Coney, Douthitt, and Huddy,
concerning the validity of whose
election there was some question, did
not arise. The Credentials Commit
tee had its report already prepared
and typewriter, and returned the
report within five minutes of the time
the appointment Of its members was
announced. The report and its adop-
ton seated the three members along
with the others, and no opposition
was offered TO their being seated. 1t
Is too late now for any attempt to he
made to deprive them of their seats,
although II is understood that some
members still have hopes of ousting
the three from the floor of the House.
BY II o'clock the House was fully
organized and ready for business. all
the officers were appointed and at
work. The message from the Gov
ernor was received formally and will
be considered in detail later.

introduced, and. II the same gait Is

Rice offered a resolution to the effect
that the Senate be informed that all
bills from that body must be translat.

cred by the House. Rice explained
that the reason for the resolution was
that last session the bills sometimes
came down untranslated and the House
had to pay the bills for translation Of
Senate measures.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is n serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when per.
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape.Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that It will
digest. Actual experience of people Is
valuable to anyone interested In foods

four years, ever since an attack of ty.

nothing but the very lightest food.

stomach would wish | never had to
eat anything.

"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring Could not
attend to his work. He was Ender
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave OFF ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. II was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat O
meal without Grape.Ndts, and no

the great nourishing elements in
Grape,Nuts."

1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind Of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food anG

The most interesting announce.
mout ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un.
douhtudly that made n month or two
ngo TO the effect that the new models
OF The White Steam Cars could be rUI
on kerosene or coal oil, instead ul
gasoline. Everyone at once rcCug.
n.2Dt that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan.
tags which the White already pos.
Bcssod over other types Of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sccptical as 10 whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore. the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company. of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
tiou Of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid.
den Tour.
From the standpoint OF the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First Of all. the dis.
lance covered on the Gliddcn Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion Of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos-
siblc for the driver of the White to
have even frightened bolt without
the fact being noted and n penalty in.

pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were no; in
flctcd until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute

A particularly interesting feature
Of the new White Steamer IS that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used MS fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline. or vice
versa, may be made In n couple OF
minutes; but so completely successful

the combination of stcam-the pow
