harm, Tea is equally harmful. because

tically untitled him for his arduous oc-
cupation, and kept him on a couch a.

out
While IN this condition Grape-Nuts
food was suggested to me and I began
TO use It. Although it was IN the mid
die Of winter and the thermometer was

living for about six weeks of severe
exposure was on Grape-Nuts FOOD with

to feel better and during the whole

BLOW is
DEALT TO PACKERS
Judge Carpenter Denies No
ton for Discharge Of
Morris.

> Chicago. H., March 1s--Another
blow was dealt the packers charged
with criminal violation Of the Sherman
law today. when United States district
judge Carpenter denied a motion for
the discharge Of Edward Morris and
Louis H. Heyman, two OF the defend
ants on a technical objection TO the
Indictment
The government alleged that Nor
ris and company Of New Jersey handled
the fresh meat business Of the cOrpor-
alton, and counsel for the defence de-
clared that Norris and company.
Maine corporation is the concern
which the government should have
named IN this connection.
In denying the motion. judge Car
penter said the evidence showed Nor
ris and company OF New Jersey was
the corporation through which the
sales OF fresh meat were made and
that the governments allegation was
sufficiently plain under the law.

cents each. and the prizes rising to $25.
Thus for an investment OF quarter one
might make 100 times az much. These
tickets have been selling by the thou
sands In New York and other cities. or
course, those who are handling them are
clearly subject to the anti-gambling laws.
In addition to this form Of base ball bet
ting there has been a revival Of open
gambling at the games in one or two OF
the cities. notably Philadelphia where
the other day forty men were arrested in
one of the grandstands for fiagrantly
open laying OF wagers.
A most gratifying sign OF public dis
approval has been manifested, and II the
authorities will act promptly and decisiveiy
base ban gambling will quickly be ended
The owners and managers of clubs pre-
sumably stand ready to cooperate as far
as possible with the municipal officials TO
check these practices, for they recognize
clearly that 1t is dangerous to temporize
with an evil that, il tolerated in the least
degree, is certain to grow rapidly and to
injure the game in public estimation.
Base ball has achieved its present high
state of popularity because 1t has been
regarded now for years as clean, honest
sport. 1t is inevitable that IL the gamblers
are permitted to use it for betting pur-
poses 1t will fall under suspicion, whether
justly or otherwise. of being maintained
as gambling adjunct and faith In the
sport itself will be weakened. 1t is i'm
possible to play base ball games that are
above suspicion il they are used from day
to day by the professional gambling ele-
ment, just as 1t has been impossible TO
keep horse racing free Of doubt as to Its
honesty under the baleful influence OF the
bookmakers and the poolroom owners

Gun Traffic and Public Safety.

Grave apprehension is felt REGARDING
the situation at Minersviile. Pa, and
other places in the hard coal district
where strikers are showing an ugly feel
ing toward mine owners and the public
authorities. They are arming themselves
by purchases of pistols, guns and ammu-
milton at the stores. and they moreover
have in their possession. for use in the
mines when they are employed, quanti-
ties of dynamite. The latter is a con-
slant and apparently unavoidable peril
in the mining region. but the purchase
OF guns is not impossible of prevention
II is noted in the dispatches that the au-
thorities feel themselves embarrassed by
the fact that they are unable to stop the
sale of firearms short of a declaration of
martial law. This is true in the present
state of the statutes of the common
wealth. but 1t does not follow that there
is no way to stop the people from arm
ing themselves in case like the present.
II pennsylvania had proper firearms
law. such law as every state should
have. there would be no present difficulty
on this score. The proposition has been
advanced again and again that the only
way effectively to control the traffic in
ueauIy weapons Is 10 require the pur-
chaser TO procure a permit from some
designated official. judge of a court or
a justice OF the peace. upon the presen-
tation OF which only is II possible for a
dealer TO sell without mourning a severe
penalty With the pernlit-to-buy sys-
tenn working in Pennsylvania there would
De much less danger of rioting today and
the state authorities would be assured of
ability TO keep the peace to far greater
Nent. The truth regarding the trafic
y deadly weapons will eventually be ap.
precia,ed sufficiently to persuade legisla-
tures-and 1t is TO be hoped Congress as
well for the sake of the District Of Co.
lumbia-to enact laws that will really
protect life without infringing upon the
constitutional right of the people ito
bear arms

Adjournment.

For time the hope was expressed
that Congress would be able to put up
the shutters before the Chicago conven-
ton met. Now that hope Is almost dead
Convention day is only some six weeks
distant, and the tables Of Congress are
piled high with business. Even the sup
ply bills are in backward state; and
Uncle Sam must have his rations. And so
il is urged that Congress must stay on
the Job until il is completed with delibera-
ton No hurrying in the interest OF
politics.
This is good advice. With the two ma
tional conventions in view. the congress
sional leaders on both sides should have
bestirred themselves for an carly ad-
journment But they did not. Some inn
portant issues have been neglected alto
gether. while others have been only
scratched In a way, and to degree,
Congress has drifted.
Still. there is record enough upon which
to base the two national platforms. Both
parties are sufficiently committed on the
tariff Both have declared themselves on
the subject of the navy. The economy
cry is well understood. Currency reform
goes over by mutual consent. The trust
problem is about where 1t was when the
session began, both sides favoring further
legislation, but neither with recommends
lions we'll thought out The platform
makers at both Chicago and Baltimore
will have all the material they need,
even with Congress still in session. and
the two parties still squared off on ma
tional issues
The greater consideration in the matter
is that Congress should transact with
care all the business intrusted to it. II
two or three more months are necessary.
let the time be allotted. Suppose the ses-
sion should not end before August That
will be early enough for the release Of
members for stumping purposes. Stump
oratory is not very effective in July. and
there is small if any call for it, Not I'M
til well along in August do crowds gather,
even in presidential years, and respond to
appeals about saving the country.
Complainf is made about listlessness in
both House and Senate In neither body
are members giving evidence of interest
in the proceedings Well, why not try a
change of speakers? Why not put for
ward men with a greater knack Of
waking up folks? The subjects are i'm
portant. and decisions, soon or late
should be reached. Legislators are but
human. Now and then they are apt to
get drowsy. apd when in that state they
must be treated with everyday remedies.
