REASONED IT OUT
And Found q Change in Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give the
same sort of careful attention to him
self and to Ills health. And yet his
business would be worth little without
good health to care for 1t. A business
man tells how he did himself good by
carefully thinking over his physical con-
dition, investigating TO find out what
was needed. and then changing to the
right food.
For some years had been bothered a
great deal after meals. My food SEEM
ed to lay like lead in my stomach, pro-
ducing heayiness and dullneSs and
sometimes positive pain. OF course this
rendered me more or less unfit for
business, and / made up my mind that
something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that oyer-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that was Furnishing my
self in that way-that was what was
making me 70 dun, heavy and uncom-
Portable, and unfit for business after
meals I concluded to try Grape-NutS
food to see what 1t could do for me.
'I have been using It for some months
now, and am glad to say that I do not
suffer any longer after meals; my food
seems to assimilate easily and perfect
ly, and to do the work for which It was
intended.
al have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is pleasure once
more-can take more interest in II, and
nv, mind as clearer and more alert"

free and yet leaves everything that
he has to buy on the protected list;
am wholly unable to understand
why. II the American farmer Is com
pelled to compete with Canada In ag-
rfcultural products, he should be com
pelled to pay a higher price for agri-
cultural implements.
Wheat and Flour.
Il am also equally unable to under
stand why wheat should be admitted
free into the United States and its
manufactured products should have the
protection Of the duty. 1t is said the
object Of this reciprocity agreement is
to furnish cheaper food products. II that
Is SO. why shouldn't 1t include -four?
The people OF this country do not eat
wheat. they eat -four. and 1t seems to
me the same argument that would JUS
tify putting wheat upon the free list
would be accentuated when applied to
-four and other cereal foods.
IN word, can see no reason why
the American farmer should be COM
PEELED to compete with Canada in the
raising of wheat when the American
the Canadian miller in the manufacture
of -four. Is 1t possible that the milling
interests are in position to receive or
demand more consideration than the
farming interests? .-..
Again. car see no reason why live
stock should be upon the free list and
meats on the protected list. Under the
proposed arrangement the large packing
interests of :his country can import
cattle from Canada free, but the Cana
dian packer cannot enter this market In
competition with the American packer
without paying the duty Of SIS a hun
dred.
Wants Eyse Raef
IF the American stock-raiser is COM
PEELED to raise cattle In competition with
those raised in Canada, can possibly
see no reason why the American pack
ers shouldn't be compelled to rut their
products upon the market in competl-
ton with Canadian packers.
What good does 1t do the consumer
of meats to allow cattle to come into
this country free II, as soon as they
are protected from competition II we
are striving to furnish cheap meat foods
to the Iaborers of this country, we can.
not do 1t unless we furnish competition
clear UP to the point Of consumption.
II can zee no reason why finished lum
Der should not be on the free list as
we'll as rough, IL. by the arrangement
we are attempting to furnish the con
sumner with cheaper lumber. Whatever
try from Canada would first pass into
the hands of the :nillmen for dressing
and when once in their hands will be
subject to the same influences thai
control the American product.
IF IL 's desired to help the ultimate
consumer of lumber, lumber of all kinds
should be on the free list"

Diaz Soldiers Form
Avenue of Escape to
The Atlantic Coast

Porfirio Diaz, President of Mexico.
within the past few days, has placed
practically all the troops at his COM
mand in positions opening to him an
avenue of escape from his capital to
the Atlantic seaboard.
This information, startling In view of
the reports to the effect that peace ne
gotiations were we'll under way be-
tween the administration and the in
surrectionists following the cabinet re-
organization, has just come to the War
College in Washington from United
States army officers on duty in Mexico.
That the aged President Of the re-
public has opened a way to escape from
his country should the uprising grow TO
larger proportions, after declaring that
the insurrection would be put down.
1t is believed here, indicates that the
revolutionists have been gaining more
strength than has been reported in the
recent dispatches from the interior OF
Mexico.
Only two regiments of government
troops remain in Mexico City. The
other troops which were stationed In
the capital, together with several ad-
ditional picked regiments, have been
detailed to a territory where there are
practically no insurrectionists, in such
a manner that they form an avenue
leading direct from Mexico City to the
Atlantic coast. Further than guarding
an avenue of escape. War College Of

IOWANCALLSPACI
UNFAIR TOFARMER
Representative Prouty Offers Resolution to Put Manuac
tured Articles on Free List-Says Agreement, AS
Designed Would Aid Trusts.

Representative Prouty, Republican, OF
Iowa, today contributed a new chapter
to reciprocity matters by Offering a
joint resolution requesting the President
to open negotiations with Canada to
obtain a supplemental reciprocal agree
ment.
The proposed agreement provides for
the reciprocal free admission into the
United States and Canada of all fresh
or refrigerated meats except game,
bacon and ham; all kinds Of dried,
smoked, salted, or preserved meats,
canned meats, lard and compounds, apd
and rolled oats, corn meal, and barley
malt; barley pot, pearled and patent;
farm wagons and finished parts thereof !
agricultural machinery and finished
parts; cutlery, scissors. and the like;
plumbing fixtures, and material, print-
laths, shingles, sawed boards and other
lumber finished or unfinished in whole
or part; iron ore Of all kinds and such
other articles as will tend to equalize
the benefits of reciprocity between the
agricultural and manufacturing sections
of this country.
In a statement Judge Prouty says
he has offered this to have Congress
declare it's policy. He says he favors
the principle of reciprocity, but is
not quite SdLlSueu Win lhC CAioS -
agreement, as 1t seems unfair to the
great agricultural sections Of this
country.
Farmers Suffer.
He says IL the farmers are COM
PEELED to suffer a reduced price on
account of Canadian importations
they ought to receive the benefit of
reduced prices In the things they are
compelled to buy.
He points out the Government has
recently indicted the Bath Tub trust
and says he would like to know why
its products should be protected from
Canadian competition.
Judge Prouty. who Is the successor
to Representative Hull. said:
"I was opposed to the Payne Aid
rich tariff bill principally because. in
my judgment. IL Disseminated against
the agricultural West, and in favor of
the manufacturing East. could never
find any reason or logic showing why
hides should be upon the free list
and leather products on the protect
ed list.
TT seems to me the proposed Can
adian reciprocity agreement accen-
tuates this injustice, at least, 1t does
not improve II. I am not certain tn
Canadian reciprocity will work any
serious injury to the agricultural in
terests of the United States. but ]
think the time has come in the history
of this country when agriculture
tive benefit AS l look at II. II has
borne more than it's share of the bur-
den. and the time has arrived for
tightening that burden.

thing that the farmer raises come In

San Antonio Man Pays
Compliments to Good
Behavior of Soldiers

Further assurance of the good con-
duct of the soldiers, both white and
colored, at San Antonio, was received
at the War Department today in a tele-
gram from Colonel Otto Wahrmund.
Colonel Wahrmund Is on the governor 8
staff, is member Of the Texas Legis-
lature, and one OF the wealthiest citi-
zens of San Antonio.
He declares that with the exception
of one case of disorder on a street car
he had not seen or heard of mis-
conduct or drunkenness on the part OF
the soldiers. Colonel Wahrmund added
that the great temperance apostle

Japan Not Mentioned.
President Taft showed me the en-
tire correspondence between himself and
Ambassador Wilson, and give my
word Of honor that the name Japan
did not once appear in that correspond
ence. I am absolutely convinced that
there Is q criminal conspiracy on foot
for the purpose of bringing on a war
between the United States and Japar.
Thousands upon thousands Of dollars
are being spent to carry on this pro-
poganda, and I am confident that tie
plans of these conspirators will unfold
themselves before very long.
i am convinced that this constant
agitation for q war between the two
nations Is nothing but subterfuge en-
ployed by those people who are deter
mined that this Government shall buili
not less than two battleships each year
TO endanger the friendly relations of
tw ogreat nations in order that certain
selfish interests may be gratified is
nothing short Of criminal"
Sentiments Echoed.
Mr.. Fosters sentiments are echoed.
In part, by Senators to whom President
Taft showed the correspondence be-
TWEEN himself and Ambassador Wilson.
Sevenar lSenators, when informed of
Mr. Fosters views about the battleship
propaganda being behind the war talk,
declared that there was something big
ger than two battleships a year move
ment on foot.
This Is the most malicious propa-
ganda that has ever come TO my atten-
tion," said Senator Lodge today. las a
member of the Senate Committee on
ssats5 Eoreign Relations, President Taft

'The name of japan does not appear
in. any portion Of that correspondence.
i am not at liberty TO disclose the ma
ture of the information communicated
son, but 1 am able to state in the most
emphatic terms that there Is not the
slightest justification for the constant
reiteration of these war stories about
the United States and Japan.
Absurd Proposition.
''It is utterly absurd to suppose that
Ambassador Wilson could in any way
gain possession of treaty between
Mexico and Japan and retain it in his
possession long enough to photograph 1t.
II is inconceivable that President Taft
would fail to Intimate to members of
Congress. who would be called upon to
uphold the Administration, information
in hsi possession regarding strained re-
lations between the United States and
another country.
There has been NO such intimation,
and I am satisfied that there is the
friendliest feeling between the United
States and japan. This was made evi-
dent when we negotiated a treaty with
Japan In the closing days of the last
Congress. That treaty was perfectly
satisfactory to japan, and it is doubtful
II 1t could have been negotiated IL these
war scars stories were true"

Honeycombed With Agents.
1t also became known here TODAY
that Mexico is literally honeycombed
with confidential agents from the War
Department in Washington. Many OF
them are army officers. Others pose as
newspaper men. Still others are sup
posed to be connected with the con-
sular service. Reports are sent to
Washington on every movement OF the
troops Of both the government and the
revolutionists. and the information Is
marked down on a huge map in the
Var College, pins with. colored heads
representing companies or regiments.
The result Is that Government officials
can see at a glance the exact position
Of practically every force Of armed men
in Mexico.

crete example of the evils now ex-
listing through the competition of ex-
press companies against the Govern
ment:
Government Underbid.
"a few years ago." he says. "at the
time of the uniform text book agita-
ton, the head of New York publish
ing house wanted to place in the
hands of every school official in the
country a certain text book The pos
tage on each book would have
amounted to eighteen cents
The publisher called up an express
versation went something like this:
.'I have 5000 pounds Of text books
to move to various points. The postage
on each book will amount to IS cents.
What will you carry them for?'
within few minutes the head OF
the express company called up the head
of the publishing house and said:
Wen carry them for 16 cents each.
The deal was closed forthwith and
the books came to my State. Georgia,
other States. The Government was
underbid.
Really Parcels Post Bill.
"This bill is really a parcels post bill.
1t will wipe out the annual postal de-
ficit of something like 81, ,0O0. 900. II
will reduce the enormous profits of the
express companies, amounting last year
to about SIS, 600. 900. much Of 1t made
at the expense of the United States
Government.
THE people of this country are look
ing to Democratic House for legtsla-
Of the people, including the great body
of farmers, are crying for a parcels
post. The opponents of such measure
are the small country merchants, who
will in the end realize the benefits TO
themselves of such law.
1T is a notorious fact-the agitation
over second-class mail matter to the
contrary Observation-Disclosures the ex-
press companies have for many years
been grabbing the profitable hauls Of
small packages that should have gone
by mail. The express companies COM
pete daily with the postal service in
the transportation of such packages
when they are to be carried for COM
paratively short distances. II the haul
is across the continent, the express
companies hands OFF, and the postal
service performs this latter service at
a loss.
Loses Monopoly and Profits.
"I have also ascertained that much of
the heavier matter from foreign coun-
with an ll-pound limit-comes to this
country for delivery by the express
ccmpanies instead of by the Postoffice
Department Again the Government
loses its monopoly and it's profits.
There is no earthly reason why the
postal service should not be conducted
with a profit. This Is a step toward
this end and l can demonstrate the
practicability of this plan as soon as
have a hearing before the House Post
office Committee and the House itself"
Representative Howard Is the young
prosecuting attorney who bested
Uncle Lon" Livingston in the last
election. He Is one OF the most aggres-
sive and progressive of the new MEM
bers of the House and today he has
two legislative hobbies: one a money
making parcels post: the other the re-
striction Of immigration through an
educational test. He has already be-
gun the fight for a profit-paying Post
