GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill

Poor fuel makes poor fire and
poor fire is not good steam producer.
From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, / suf-

stomach troubles" writes lady from
a little town in Missouri.
1T seemed as IL l would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me hardly anything that
could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. ! got
thinner and thinner until / literally
became a living skeleton, and in time
was compelled to keep to my bed.
A few months ago 1 was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that have kept up its use ever since.
I was surprised at the ease with which
| digested it. 1t proved to be just
what l needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from
SO to 116 pounds, my figure rounded
out, my strength came back, and am

COLONEL SAYS MOTIVE OF STEEL
MERGER OF NO CONCERN
TO HIM.
HOLDS COURSE EFFECTIVE
Former President Declares Tennessee
Deal Saved Common People Mis-
cry and neutrality-suspicious. Test-
mony Before Committee.

New York-In an article in the
Outlook under the headline, "The
Steel Corporation and the Panic of
1907" former President Roosevelt dis
cusses his recent appearance before
the congressional committee investi-
eating the steel corporation, repeating
the written statement he then pre-
sented and after dealing with some
Of the lines Of inquiry and his re-
sponses he says:
Most of the questions dealt with
matters not of sufficient moment to
warrant allusion to them here. Many
of them were as to what my BELIEF
was concerning the motives of the
steel corporation people in acquiring
the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany's property; to which, OF course,
my answer was that it was not my
business, and neither was 1t In my
power to seach the hidden domain OF
motive, and that my action was con-
ditioned, not upon what / believed to
be the motives actuating the steel
corporation, but upon the belief that
LuO dCIlOn IAOy pAOPOSNA SN"AAAAAO
would be enormously to the benefit of
the community at large at that par
ticular moment.
Whether the chief motive for their
action was a desire to absorb the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company, or
whether their chief motive was to
save the threatened New York firm
from failure, and thereby stop the
panic, was of no concern to me.
THAT both motives were in their
minds / thought possible, and now
thing possible What was the pre-
dominant motive was of no conse-
quence. My concern was that the &C
ton should be taken and the situation
saved in the interests of the people
of the United States
Zone of the questions put to me in
Dictated disbelief, or, to be more &C
curate, perhaps I should say that it
was meant to be understood as in
dicating disbelief that the action
taken was really efficient in stopping
the panic. The action taken was, in
my judgment, the only action that
could stop the panic, and 1t most GER
tainly was Of enormous, and in all
human probability Of decisive, inf1u-
ence in actually stopping it"

Taft is SUSTAINED
EFFORTS TO FORCE THROUGH
WOOL AND FREE LIST DE-
TEATED.
SENATE PASSES STATEHOOD
Efforts to Force Through Wool and
= Free List Measures Are De-
feated-Adjourn Is
In Sight.

Washington.-Presi Taft en-
erged victorious from the tariff
and statehood struggles with con-
gress. An effort was made in the
house of representatives to override
his veto of the wool bill. 1t failed,
227 to 129.
Immediately afterward the presi-
dents veto Of the farmers free list
bill was received from the White
House, and after forty minutes de-
bate that measure also failed to pass
over the executive disapproval by a
vote of 226 to 1877.
1t requires a two-thirds majority to
pass measure over a veto.
While the house was having highly
exciting times over the tariff issue in
its latest and most sensational phase
the senate was disposing of the new
joint statehood resolution, which
makes the elimination of the judicial
recall in the Arizona constitution a
prerequisite to the admission of that
territory into the Union. The resolu-
ton was passed after four hours de-
DdLe Dy vote OF 55 $40 8.
Concluding a day of momentous hap
penings, the Democrats of the house
ways and means committee decided
in favor of accepting the senate add1-
lions to the cotton revision bill. 1t is
planned to pass the bill on Monday,
receive the Taft veto on Tuesday and
adjourn sine die on Wednesday.
The leading feature of the day was
the unsuccessful attempt to pass the
wool bill over President Taft's veto,
and next to that the presidents veto
message in which he mercilessly re-
shod methods pursued in framing and
passing the free-list measure.
In vetoing the wool bill the presi-
dent declared that no action should
be taken until the tariff board had an
opportunity to present its report. He
said:
eff these ever was schedule that
needed consideration and investiga-
ton and elaborate explanation by ex-
perts before it's amendment, it is
schedule K.
But / have no sufficient data upon
which l can judge how schedule K
ought to be amended or how its rates
ought to be reduced in order that the
new bill shall furnish the proper
measure of protection and no more.
Nor have I sources of information
which satisfy me that that bill pre-
sented to me for signature will accom-
plish this result"

STATEHOOD BILL VETOED
President WthhoIds Approval Be-
cause of Judiciary Recall Clause
in Arizona Constitution.

hington.-President Taft, in
a special message to the house
of representatives, vetoed the joint
resolution providing for the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
to statehood. His reason for exer-
cising the executive power of veto
was based on his thorough disapproval
OF the recall of judges clause in the
Arizona constitution.
The fact that New Mexico's state
hood was bound up with that of Ari-
iona melted out to it the same fate,
and neither territory can come into
the Union at this time unless friends
of the joint resolution in congress
can muster the two-thirds vote neces-
sary to adopt the resolution over the
presidents veto. This may be at

THE THIRTIETH MAN.

The president of the College OF the
City OF New York finds that one per
son in every 30 adults in tina United

gree, "a public servant who is going

ity for the other 90" So large an estt-
mate Of the proportion Of function
aries to the total adult population,
male and female, seems surprising un-
til the variety and bulk of the classi-

development of public hygiene, Of SO

rectory of the thirtieth man. He is
the man who sweeps the streets az
well as the one in the White House.
He gathers and distributes the let

the milk before the child may drink
