.DENOUNCES TARIFF LAW.
COUNT Won KANITZ REGRETS
GERMANY YIELDED.
Conservative in Reichstag Says
United States Shows No Spirit
of Reciprocity.

BERLIN March 16.-Count Won Kanitz,
conservative, speaking in the reichstag
yesterday on the subject of appropria-
lions for the foreign Office, deplored the
fact that Germany had submitted to the
terms Of the Payne tariff law. The bal
ance of trade between the two countries
showed. he said, nearly $500, OOO,O 900 in
favor of the United States, which had ex-
hibited no spirit of reciprocity toward
Germany, the position of which was most
unfavorable. He added:
THE Americans first imposed higher
tariffs and then say they cannot be al
tered because that is the law. Perhaps
Germany could act similarly and intro
duce a higher tariff. subsequently saying:
That is our law Our government, how
ever, was in a bad position. Some sort
of an agreement with the United States
was necessary. Almost all our industry
recognized that we must submit to the
PAYNE tariff.

the authorities decided to demolish
the castle, and during excavations in
the deep dungeons number of skele
tons, evidently prisoners who had died
in Jail, were brought to light. Two
iron chests were also unearthed, and
when opened they were found to be
full of old Spanish and Portuguese
gold and silver coins. At the bottom
of the chests were number of gold

mated to be worth owed s150000. Half

Chicago.-One of the most remark
able instances of penuriousness re-
corded in a court document came to
light the other day, when a deputy
clerk of the superior court, engaged
in filing papers in divorce suit, came
across the case of Mrs. Carrie Eliza
beth Ferman against Christian p. Fer
man.
Here is sentence from the bill
which only explains the case, in part:
"The defendant was of such an
economical turn Of mind that he at
times insisted on wearing the under
wear of your oratrix"
Judge Dupuy heard the suit and in
questioning Mrs. Ferman she said
that her husband was so stingy that
he deprived her and her young daugh-
ter, Mertie, of sufficient food and
clothing
The parties to the suit are we'll
known in certain South side circles.
Since the wife obtained her decree of
divorce she has married cne of the
department managers in large stock
yards packing concern, while the de-
fendant ex-husband has betaken him
self to California.
One of the woman's chief distinc-
tions is her beauty, and it is said
that her husband, Jealous of her
charms, concluded that the safest
plan to prevent her displaying them
was to deprive her of attractive cloth
ing and to subject her to menial oc-
cupation in their home.
When Mrs. Ferman related her
story in court she said that her hus
band frequently pinched her, leaving
her arms black and blue for days at a
time. On some occasions he was so
stingy that he appropriated her fine
muslin underwear to save himself the
expense of buying garments for his
own use. She explained. too. that she

The other day the body, evidently
that of soldier, was uncovered, with
the skull cleft, as if a tomahawk had
pierced the brain.
A large brass letter &C" was with
the bones, showing that the wearer
was a member of c company. A short
distance away the skeleton of an In.

This locality in the war of 1912 was
the scene of the battle and massacre
of the River Roisin, when 1000 Ameri.
can troops, mostly Kentuckians, were
surprised by the English and Indians
and massacred.
The bodies were left where they
had fallen, but were buried several
months later by the old settlers in
one grave. The interment of the
bones was forgotten and those who
buried them passed away. SO that
none of the present generation knew
the location of the old cemetery.

Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-

Of any kind of cereal food He was

"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw child

good to see him. From that day on
1t seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using 1t.

naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment They

Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and today

course. my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence

Washington.-That the seventeen.

while heretofore measures against a

and prizes awarded to each school,
and the number of days work done
a days work consisting of three hours
by each boy. The days of work are
stated to have been 26,S45, during
which eleven railway wagon loads OF
locusts were captured. The total
amount in prizes awarded to the boys
was 1900 crowns (s3,45D. Each boy
received 19 cents day for three
hours, capturing on an average four
quarts of locusts each day. The total
expenditures were as follows: Prizes
to boys, $3,451 implements and their
repair, $500; overseers, $406; school.
masters, 5000; administration work,
s50S; total, $5,664.
This work, due to proper organiza-
ton of the schoolboys, shows what
might be achieved by similar means
on much more extensive scale to
wipe out this plague. If it is com
puted that each locust consumes daily
food to half the volume of its body, il
follows that locusts thus captured
would have devoured sixty railway
