alike MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys-
pepsia SO many years that he can't re-
member when he had natural appe-
tite, and then hits on a way out OF
trouble he may be excused for saying
"it acts like magic"
When it is a simple, wholesome
food instead of any one of q large num-
ber Of SO called remedies in the form
of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though a sort of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, In the delight of Fe-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, f1ttingly describes the
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
me of poor digestion. coated tongue
and loss of appetite, of many years
standing.

was recommended to me, without re-
lief. Then tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion Of friend. By the time

stomach was all right, and for the past
two months have been eating with
a relish anything set before me. That
is something l had been unable to do
previously for years.

SENATOR ROOT FOR PRESIDENT

During the past week or ten days
there has been considerable talk
throughout the country of the candi-
dacy of Senator Elihu Root, of New
York, for the presidency. The sug-
genstion came simultaneously from
men living in different sections of the
country and there is nothing TO indi
cate that there was any concerted
plan to bring the name of Senator
Root before the people.
Although he is without doubt the
best equipped American for the posi-
ton living today, it is extremely
doubtful if Senator Root will ever
receive the nomination for president
Of the United States. In the first
place, he is not a demagogue and does
not play to the galleries. On all
great questions he arrives at a con
state his position frankly, without
giving a thought as to its possible eff
feet on his political fortunes. For
this reason he is not popular with the
masses of the voting population and
would hardly be considered a strong
candidate. In many respects he
strongly resembles Benjamin Harri-
son and William Howard Taft, both
of whom failed of reelection to the
highest Office in the gift of the Ameri
car people.
The American voter has become so
accustomed to being flattered and
"bunked' by his candidates for
office, that it appears necessary now
adays for even candidates on the ma
tional ticket to resort to the methods
of the ward politician in order to Sc
cure an election.

THE CONSUMER

So much is heard nowadays about
the interests of the consumer, of a
tariff reduced for the benefit of the
consumer, that one might suppose this
to be a new development in the logic
of economics. But it is far from new.
Time out of mind the free traders
have been proclaiming their devotion
TO the welfare of the consumer. That
was one of their chief appeals for
popular approval nearly three-quart-
ers of a century ago. Richard Golden
was a mighty champion of the con
sumner when he led the free trade
phalanx in England to victory IN 1916.
1t was for the consumer sake that
Manchester cotton manufacturers con
tributed their millions to the success
of the free trade propaganda. They
were going to make cottons cheaper
to the consumer-but they were also
going to crush out all rivalry and
make Manchester the cotton-produc-
ing monopoly of the whole world.
They succeeded in cheapening cotton
goods to the consumer, but they
~cheapened the price of labor in every
industrial center of Europe. Cottons
were cheaper, to be sure, but the
w-age-earner had less money with
which to buy them.
In one of the essays of Doctor Ar
chibald Alison, printed in Black
woods Magazine for April, lS4o, the
Constitutional, a leading French
journal of that period, is quoted as
saying:
els not, in fact, the consumer, such
az the free traders represent him to
us, a strange creationf He is, as he
has been wittily described, a fantas-
tie being-a monster who has a mouth
but who has neither legs to move nor
arms to work.
A better picture could not be
drawn of the consumer that is so
s~trenuously exploited by the free
traders of the twentieth century. All
mouth, all stomach, a creature who
must be fed, clothed and housed, but
who produces nothing! So the free
traders make a tariff for this prepos-
ferrous nondescript, the like of which
does not exist On earth, for, praeti-
cally considered, there is no such
thing as a consumer who does not be-
