PERKINS MAKES \ VIGOROUS DENIAL Appears Before Investigating Committee to Tell of Cam
 paign Gifts.
DENIES HUGE FUND RAISED
Says Hilles and Penrose Should Be Made to Prove Their Campaign
 Charges

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 ington.-Emphatic denials that a huge fund had been underwritten to finance the Roosevelt preconven- ton campaign, or that any money had been contributed to the fund by the International Harvester Company or the United States Steel Corporation, were entered by George W. Perkins on the stand before the Senate Campaign Contributions Committee.
 The testimony of MT. Perkins bris- tied with such expressions as 'unmiti gated lies" absolutely false" total ly unfair and mere hot air" He denounced charges made by Senator Penrose and Charles D. Hilles. the chairman of the Republican National Committee, demanding that Senator Penrose be made to prove his asser- ton that $3,000,000 was underwritten for the Roosevelt campaign, or like a gentleman take it back and de- claring MT. Hilles should prove his charge or "be dismissed from office. Throughout most of his examination Mir. Perkins was in wrangle with some member.
 Time after time he waved a clench- ed hand in the air and declared the committee "could not get away with it." As he grew indignant under cross examination, the witness would rise in his place, glaring at the committee and gesticulating violently.
 Mir. Perkins accounted to the com mittee for $123,0OO which he said he spent in the preconyention campaign of Colonel Roosevelt.

 Has Disappeared.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Fears are felt in the Navy Department for the United States transport Prairie, which. with 750 marines and the United States Commission aboard, was last heard from on October off the coast of Santo Domingo, whither it had been ordered to investigate the uprising there and interfere if Americans or foreign interests were endangered.
 Acting Secretary Winthrop sent up urgent dispatches to all stations in Santo Domingo and Hayti, seeking in formation of the vessels whereabouts.
 The last word heard from the yes sel was a dispatch from General Me Intyre, on October ?, that the steam ship would proceed along the nort' coast of the island republic and would leave October G. The long silence has created considerable uneasiness in of ficial circles, although it is hoped the Prairie merely has passed out of touch of cable stations and soon will report

Diplomacy in Small Thinus.

Little Eloise Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in Madison, Va, and was sent to carry a saucer of ice cream to neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands of the lady for whom it was intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it.

OntimiStS.

For non-committal breyity of speech, commend us to the Yankee lord of the soil. One such, who was obliged to make a physician daily visits, had an unvarying answer to the question, How do you feel today?" Well, he would reply, showing as little in terest in the subject as possible, T ain't no wuss." Further than that he wished to say nothing. and it took the cunning of serpent to discover his real feelings. A man who was knocked down in the street by snow slide was assailed by a sympathizing crowd with condolence and question Did it hurt you?' inquired one of his rescuers as he brushed the snow frcn, the clothes of the well-powdered victim.

 An overworked Ohio doctor tells hiG experience:
 About three years ago as the result of doing two mems work, attending large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than physical wreck.

 'T became irritable, easily angered and Respondent without cause. The hearts action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpi. tation during the first hour or two after retiring.
 Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the re- suit. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months. and on further investigation and use. adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and sprinkle of salt or sugar.
