NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

Something was making me i'll and
didn't know the cause" writes a
Colo. young lady: For two years /
was thin and sickly. suffering from In
digestion and infiammatory rheuma-
tism.
Il had tried different kinds OF diet,
and many OF the remedies recommend
ed, but got no better.
Finally. Mother suggested that /
try Grape-Nuts, and | began at once,
eating it with a little cream or milk.
A change for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. In the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from in
digestion. and the rheumatism is all
gone.
Il know 1t is to Grape-Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. / still
eat the food twice day and never
tire OF it." Name given by Postum
Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral. not too sweet
and hts an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows tiresome.
One Of the sources Of rheumatism Is
from ioverloadlng the system with
acid material. the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban.
doned and Grape-NutB is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong. the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess OF disease making
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady

activity There's reason" Read.

BossING THE EMBOSSED.

It II observed that the New York
democratic state convention which
put eulser into nomination was head.
lined al Embossed" That it contain
ed q large element that did not in
tend to obey the Tammany edict is
probably true. But after ostensibly
defeating Dix because Of his Murphy
classification. the convention after
some fioundering nominated Sulzer, a
more typical example Of Tammany
production than Dix.
1t is an interesting subject Of spec.
-ulation whether these failures of the
independent spirit to ma~terialize in
the New York convention Is due to
the fact that the delegates are really
so lost in the mazes Of politics that
they do not know what to do until
the boss tells them. or whether their
importance is produced by the artful
manipulation of the boss and his
agent. The Same thing was done
when DIX was nominated. The declar.
alton that this convention must be
Embossed was made as sharply then as
now. and Murphy protested to accept
1t. Yet after all the political capital
that could be had been made out Of
the pretense that Dix was not a MUIR
ply candidate. he turned out to have
been exactly what his supporters de-
clared that he was not.

THE CRISIS IN CALIFORNIA.

That any primary ballot law could
have the effect Of blocking the work.
ings of the presidential electoral sys.
TEN is not a theory. but a condition.
The situation in California as disclos-
ed by the ruling Of the state supreme
court, reluctantly unfolding the law
that bars the appearance Of the
anne of the Taft electors on the bal
lot, has no precedent. The court, in
declaring the California primary law
valid. was governed in a sense by the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the oregon case, wherein it
was held that the action Of the legis-
lature was political, and as no consti-
tutional question had been raised by
the complainant, the court had no
jurisdiction. Therefore. relief could
be had only through the legislative
branch.
. The California court intimated,
however. that the operation of the
law of that state involved a constitu-
tional question, but as no issue Of
that kind had been raised by the at
court had no option but to declare
the Roosevelt convention the only
legally constituted republican con-
vention held. and that Its nominees
were the nominees Of the republican
party.
The law was framed for the mani
fest purpose Of getting around the
convention call of the republican ma
tional committee in order to send a
solid delegation Of progressives 10 the
Chicago convention. The scheme
failed. but the ~progressives now have
had an innings in the courts and come
off first best. temporarily at least.
Doubtless the republicans now will
raise the question Of constitutionality
on the plea Of Acknowledgement, with
an excellent prospect of upsetting the
primary legislation. ~invalidating the
election in November. and denying
California the right Of participation
in the choice OF president by the elec-
toral college.
Such . contamination might be po-
tential in causing a revlusion Of pop
ular sentiment with respect to the
practicability of. the primary system
as the pillar Of representative gov
eminent. The California crisis is the
concern Of the whole nation.
