British Premier Replies to Chicago's
Request to Admit Supplies.

London, Feb. 8.-The foreign office
made public on Sunday the CORE
spondence exchanged relative to pro-
posed scheme of relief for Poland.

cumulating evidence of German and
Austrian acquisitions in Poland, the
foreign secretary fears it will be i'm
possible to enter into any arrange
ment with regard to any scheme of
relief until the German and Austrian
governments shall have prohibited the
export of foodstuffs from Russian Po-
land, and shall have guaranteed that
the native stocks will not be drawn
upon to maintain the armies Of occu-
patton.

Asquith from Chicago on behalf of
organizations numbering 100000 Amer
lean citizens and representing 4,000,-
600 Polish-speaking residents of the
United States. This telegram re-
quested that the government raise the
blockade against ships carrying pro-
visions and clothing to the war

QUEER GIFTS TO ROYALTY
Odd Ways in Which People Have
Shown Their Devotion to the Race
That Ruled Them.

New Year in the fifteenth century
was not an occasion which was well
coined without some regrets, for many
were taxed to meet the requirements
of royalty on that day. Each titled
gentleman had the form and value OF
his gift to the king prescribed. Regu-
lations provided that an earl should
appear at the royal presence chamber
at eight o'clock New Year morning
to deliver a five-shilling purse contain
ing 20-shilling coins to the lord cham
berlain for the king.
Next the earl visited the jewel-house,
where he received a ticket which en-
titled him to a gift of Is shillings 8
pence. the pence Of which he was re-
Quired to give for box for the ticket.
The same morning he went to another
Office to select a piece Of silver plate
weighing about 80 ounces, but left 1t
until afternoon, when he returned for
it, At that time he gave the man who
handed it to him 40 shillings in gold.
. shillings for the box and 6 pence to
the porter.
A young prince ten years old is said
to have given great pleasure to his
father in 1904 by presenting him with
a volume of short Latin poems. There
is a record that in 1910 dainty little
eight-year-old princess, having a spe-
cial liking for sweets, received New
Year present of a pair Of fat oxen
from the CORPORATION of Coventry
Exchange.

One BaIIot-Freedom in
Four Years.

ing vote in the senate on the Philip
pine bill, helping to pass the Clarke
amendment to withdraw the sovereign
ty of the United States from the is

ment the president would be author
lied to surrender all rights to the Phil
ippines and recognize an independent
government instituted by the people
in not less than two or more than four
years after approval of the pending
measure.
Provision is made, however, that the
president may extend time for With
drawing from the islands if conditions
of internal of external affairs with re-
gard to stability of the proposed gov
eminent should warrant such action.
He might extend it until the adjourn
ment of a new session in congress, IN
order to afford congress another op-
portunity further to consider the sub
ject.
Provision making it optional for the
United States to retain sites for coal
ing stations and naval base in the
event of independence was included.
Efforts to recommit the bill failed by
a vote of so to 29.

ed to strike from the Clarke amend
ment all plans for guaranteeing the
sovereignty of the islands either by
the United States alone or by treaties
or other international agreements.

Marketin1 for the White House.

Mrs. Wilson, as Mrs. Gait, was in
the habit of going down to Central
market two or three times week and
doing her own marketing. After the
announcement of her engagement she
gave that up, as she found the amount
of attention attracted embarrassing
She will find that the housekeeper in
her new home has the marketing habit,
and will see to it personally that her
mistress has just exactly what she
wants. The present housekeeper, Mrs.
Jeffray, was installed by Mrs. Taft,
who, at the beginning of her regime,
took her housekeeper to the great mar
ket and personally introduced and in
structed her. For Mrs. Taft, too, had
the marketing habit, and if while at
the White House she found it expedi-
ent to do it by proxy, she saw to 1t
from the start that it was done ac-
cording to her own ideas.

MUCH IN A NAME, SOMETIMES
Gouverneur Morris, the Novelist, Slept
in Suites When Other Core
spondents Didn't.

Private information from the battle
fields of Europe indicates that Gouver-
neur Morris, the novelist, has had a
cinch over the other correspondents.
In many of the hotels the CORE
spondents were herded in one room at
night, while Morris had suite all to
himself. Then again Morris was on
friendly if not intimate terms with
high officials and military command
ers, while the other boys had to scrape
around as best they could
1t was a mystery to the other
scribes to understand. how it was that
Morris caught on so easily, got the
best of everything and went hobnob-
bing with royalty, until one day a
petty officer approached one of the
newspaper men and said:
will you kindly tell me what state
it is that Mr.. Morris is governor Off"
The above calls to mind the fact that
years ago George William Curtis, edi-
tor of the Easy Chair in Harpers Mag
azine, was in Oberammergau to wit
ness the Passion Play" Unfortunate
ly he was late in arriving at the open
air theater and all the seats except
those reserved for high officials were
gone. The editor was in despair until
he had bright idea.
Approaching one of the high officials
he said:
HAS the duke of Hesse Castle or
the duke of Cambridge arrived YETI"
Il think not" the official replied,
''Too bad the editor remarked,
''but when they arrive would you mind
telling them that Mr.. -, one of the
electors of New York, is waiting for
them?"
The official bowed and said: Ger.
tainly, sir, but would you not prefer
to wait for them inside?"
Mr.. Curtis agreed that this arrange
ment was much to be preferred to the
one OF standing outside, so he permit
ted the official to escort him down
front and seat him near a bunch of
princes, dukes and other assorted
specimens of royalty.
Its a great thing to be an elector
OF New York." the editor said in tell
ing the story-From the Editor and

FOOD FACTS
What an M. o. Learned.

A prominent physician down in
Georgia went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1t was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
and l also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as we'll as muscle. It
improves the digestion and patients
gain, just as | did in strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such low state that
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact
was not quite as well as when | left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that l must
change.
Il began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks l could walk mile, and in
five weeks returned to my Nome and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as we'll and
strong as l ever did in my life.
LAS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers consider it a duty to
make these facts public"

the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.
