There are more nervous persons

the stomach than the average indi-

stomach, it begins to ferment, set up

Grape-Nuts for her case.

What Is written Is written. Grace
moved to Graystone Hall and Halsey
remained at the factory cottage; nor
did the separation. which was regard
ed by both as merely temporary after
all, affict either to the extent that
both had supposed 1t would. Grace
now became acting mistress Of a large
and elaborate menage. AS to her hus-
band, his domestic affairs fell into the
hands of Mrs. Ann Sullivan, wife of
Jim Sullivan, Halsey's most trusted
foreman in the factory.
Mrs. Sullivan, blessed with six chill
dren OF her own, alleged that 1t would
be no trouble whatever to her to take
on the sweeping, mending, and all
else for an additional household, and
to furnish meals for the solitary head
thereof; and such was her ability to
make proof OF all these statements
that she In part was to blame for the
sad truth that Halsey was not as un
happy as he ought to have been.
The chief reason for Halsey's easy
readjustment, however, lay somewhere
in his comparison of the Halsey blood

Wool Tariff Before Ways and
Means Committee.
DEEP CUT IS PROPOSED
Manufacturers and Others Appear in
Opposition TO the Democratic Idea Of
slashins Duties Fifty Per Cent and
More,

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Democratic
plans for downward revision of SEIZED
ule K, the wool section of the tariff.
one of the most complicated features
to come before the extra session of
congress, were under fire before the
house committee on ways and means.
General expectation among house
Democrats is that the committee will
report at the outset of the extra SEES
sion virtually the same wooden SEIZED
ule as was incorporated in the wool
bill that passed the house at the first
and second sessions of this congress-,
was amended in the senate last sum
mer, compromised in conference and
vetoed by President Taft. The aver
age ad valorem duty on the schedule
In the present law is almost 6 per
cent. The Democratic bill would tax
raw wool 20 per cen ad valorem.
AS compromised in conference be-
tween the two houses last August, the
duty on raw wool was shifted from
the proposed 20 per cen to 29 per
cent ad valorem, which President
Taft, in his second veto, declared was
i~nsuficie to meet the difference in
the cost of production of the low
priced woods here and abroad in the
case of four-fifths of the total wool
clip In this country. His contention
was tha the minimum ad yaloram
should be 35 per cent and that the
proposed lower rates would throw
thousands OF workmen out of employ
ment.
The witnesses represented the Ma
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers, growers, importers, clothiers
and Independent manufacturers.
Frank p. Bennett of Boston, editor
of the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter, argued for the re-enactment
of the Wilson law of 1894 at the out-
set of the hearing. This was a plea
for entire removal of duties upon
wool and a reduction of the tariff on
wooden goods to 80 per cent.
Joseph ID. Holmes of New York, a
wooden expert, recommended ad va
loren and specific duties on clothing,
and contended that clothing would be
no cheaper If the duty on cloth were
removed. He said that a suit or over
coat containing SO worth of cloth
wholesaled at from So to 50 and re-
tailed at from $12 to SIS.

bel He pondered Grace, her sour Wis
age. her morose air. He recalled
countless angry, irritated words. He
looked, and saw no longer any fem

not to question why he had ever
made this choice. Almost he began
a certain comparison.

Halsey turned once more to his
wife. She had changed In the last few
minutes. Her eye was brighter, her
color higher. She was gazing not at
her husband nor at her child, but at
these rich surroundings.
