Tying awake nights makes it hard To keep awake and do things in day time. To take ‘‘tonics and stimulants’’ under such circumstances is like set ting the house on fire to see if you can put it out The right kind of food promotes re freshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of -eating Grape-Nuts, and says; ‘‘For about three years 1 had been a great sufferer from indigestion* After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop oil potatoes, then meat, and so on, but id a few days that craving, gnawing feel* Ing would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. “When I started on Grape-Nuts, vom< (ting stopped, and the bloated feeling Which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered -With diarrhoea before commencing th< -Grape-Nuts, because her stomach wat -so weak she could not digest her food i Since using Grape-Nuts food she it well, and says she don't think sh« could do without it. “It is a great brain restorer and taerve builder, for I can sleep as sounc ■md undisturbed after a supper o Grape-Nuts as in the old days when 1 could not realize what they meant bj a ‘bad stomach.’ There Is no medl cine so beneficial to nerves and brail as a good night's sleep, such as yot can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts.'

We, the representatives of the demo cratlc party of the United States In na tional convention assembled, reaffirm our devotion to the prlneiplee of democratic government formulated by Thomas Jef ferson and enforced by a long and Illus trious Hoe of democratic president. Tariff Reform. We declare It to be a fundamental prin ciple of the democratic party that the fed eral government under the constitution has no right or power to Impose or col lect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue, and we demand that the col lection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of government honestly and economically administered. We favor the immediate downward re vision of the existing high, and In many cases, prohibitive tariff duties. Insisting that material reductions be speedily made upon the necessaries of life. Articles en tering Into competition with trust-con trolled products and articles of American manufacture, which are sold abroad more cheaply than at home, should be put upon the free list. We recognize that our system of tariff taxation Is Intimately connected with the business of the country and we favor the ultimate attainment of the principles we advocate by legislation that will not In jure or destroy legitimate Industry. We denounce the action of President Taft In vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff In cotton, woolen, metal and chemical sched ule and the farmers’ free list, all of which were designed to give immediate relief to the masses from the exactions of the trusts. The republican party, while promising tariff revision, has shown by its tariff legislation that such revision Is not to be In the people’s Interest and having been faithless to Its pledges of 190S it should no longer enjoy the confidence of the nation. Wo appeal to the American people to sup port us In our demand for a tariff for revenue only. The high republican tariff Is the principal cauBe of the unequal dis tribution of wealth, It Is a system of tax ation which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; under Us operation the American farmer and laboring man are the chief sufferers; it raises the cost of necessaries of life to them but does not protect their product or wage. The farm er sells largely in free markets and buys almost entirely in the protected markets. In the most highly protected lndustr.es, such as cotton and wool, steel and Iron tlie wages of the laborers are the lowest paid In any of our industries. We de nounce the republican pretense on that subject that American waxes are estab lished by competitive conditions and not by the tariff. • i- _x * i mgn t.ost ot i_iving. Tho high cost of living is a serious prob lem In every American home. The repub lican party. In Its platform attempts to | escape from responsibility for present con ditions by denying that they are due to u protective tariff. Wo take Issue with them on this subjoet and charge that excessive prices result In a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the republican party and from trusts and commercial conspiracies fostered and encouruged by such laws and we assert that no substantial relief can be secured for the people until Import duties on the necessaries of life are materially reduced and tlieso criminal conspiracies broken upi. Anti-Trust Law. A private monopoly Is Indefensible and Intolerable. We therefore favor the vig orous enforcement of tho criminal as well as the civil laws against trust und trust officials and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be nec essary to make It Impossible for a pri vate monopoly to exist In the United States. Wo favor the declaration by law of the conditions upon which corporations shall be permitted to engage In Interstate trade, Including among others, the preven tion of holding companies, of Interlocking directors, of stock watering, of discrimina tion In price und the control by any one corporation of so large a proportion of any Industry as to make it a menace to competitive conditions. We condemn the action of the republic an administration In compromising with the Standard Oil company and the Tobac co trust and Its failure to invoke the criminal provisions of the anti-trust law against the officers of those corporations after the court had declared that from the undisputed facts In the record they hud violated the criminal provisions of the We regret that the Sherman anti-trust law has received a Judicial construction depriving it of much of Its efficacy and we favor the enactment of legislation which will restore to the statute the strength of which It has been deprived by such Interpretation. Rights of the States. Wo behove In the preservation and maintenance In their full strength and In tegrity of the three co-ordinate branches of the federal government—the executive, the legislative and the Judicial—each keep ing within ltB own bounds and not en croaching upon the Just powers of either of tho others. Believing that the most efficient results tinder our system of government are to be attained by the full exercise by tho states of their reserved sovereign powers, we de nounce as usurpation tho efforts of our opponents to deprive the states of any of the rights reserved to them, and to en large and magnify by Indirection the pow ers of tho federal government. We insist upon the full exercise of all the powers of the government, both state and national to protect the people from Injustice at the hands of those who seek to make the government a private as set In business. There Is no twilight zone betwoen the nation and the state tn which exploiting Interests can take refuge from both. It Is as necessary tliut the federal government exercise the powers reserved to them, but we Insist that federal reme dies for the regulation of Interstate com merce and for the prevention of private monopoly shall be added to and not sub stituted for state remedies. Income Tax and Popular Election of Senators. W« congratulate the country upon the triumph of two Important reforms de manded In the last national platform, namely, the amendment of the federal con stitution authorizing an Income tax and the amendment providing for the popu lar election of senators and we call upon the people of all the states to rally to the support of the pending propositions and secure their ratification. We note with gratification the unani mous sentiment In favor of publicity be fore the election, of campaign contribu tions—a measure demanded In our na tional platform of 1H0S and at that time opposed by the republican party—and we commend the democratic House of Repre sentatives for extending the doctrine of publicity to recommendations, verbal and written, upon which presidential appoint ments are made, to the ownership and control of newspapers and to the expendi tures made by and on behalf of those who aspire to presidential nominations, and we point for additional Justiiicatlon for this legislation to the enormous expenditures of money In behalf of the president and 1 his predecessor In the recent contest for I the republican nomination for president. Presidential Primaries. Tho movment toward more popular gov • eminent should be promoted through legislation In each state which will per mit the exception of the preference of * the electors for national candidates at presidential primaries. We direct that the national committee : Incorporate In the call for the next nom | lnatlug convention a requirement that all expressions of preference for presidential candidates shall be given and the selec tion of delegates and alternates made through a primary election conducted by the party organization In each state where such expression and election are not pro vided for by state laws. Committeeman who are hereafter to constitute the mem bership of the democratic national committee and whose election. Is not provided for by law shall be chosen in each state at such primary elections and the service and authority of committee men however chosen, shall begin Im mediately upon the receipt of their cre dentials respectively. Campaign Contribution* We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law prohibiting any cor poration from contributing To a campaign fund and any Individual from contributing any amount above a reasonable maxi mum. Term of President. We favor a single presidential term and to that end urge the adoption of an amendment to the constitution making the president of the United States Ineligible for re-election, and we pledge the candi date of this convention to this principle. Democratic Congress. At this time, when the republican party, after a generation of unlimited power In Its control of the federal government, Is rent Into factions, It Is opportune to point to the record of accomplishments of the democratic House of Representa tives In the Sixty-second congress. .We Indorse Its action and we challenge com parison of Its record with that of any congress which has been controlled by our opponents. Wo call the attention of the patriotic citizens of our country to Its record of efficiency, economy and constructive legis lation. It has, among other achievements, re vised the rules of the House of Repre sentatives so as to give the representa tives of the American people the freedom of speech and of action In advocating, proposing and perfecting remedial legis lation. It has passed bills for the relief of the people and the development of our coun try; It has endeavored to revise the tariff taxes downward In the Interest of the consuming masses and thus to reduoe the high cost of living. It has proposed an amendment to the federal constitution providing for the elec tion of United States senators by the di rect vote of the people. It has secured the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as two sovereign states. It has required the publicity of cam paign expenses both before and after elec tion and fixed a limit upon the election expense of United States senators and representatives. It has also passed a bill to prevent of tho abuse of the writ of Injunction. It has passed a law establishing an eight-hour day for workingmen on all national public work. It has passed a resolution which forced the president to take Immediate steps to abrogate the Russian treaty. And It has passed the great supply bills which lessen waste and extravagance and which reduce the annual expenses of ths government by many millions of dollars. Wo approve the measure reported by the democratic leaders In the House of Repre sentatives, creation of a counsel of nation al defense which will determine a definite naval program with a view to Increased efficiency and economy. The party that proclaimed and has always enforced the Monroe doctrine and was sponsor for the new navy, will continue faithfully to ob serve the constitutional requirements to provide and maintain an adequate and well-proportioned navy sufficient to de fend American policies, protect our citi zens and uphold the honor and dignity ol the nation. Republican Extravagance. We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung from tho people by oppres sive taxation through the lavish appro priations of recent republican congresss, which have kept taxes high and reduced tho purchasing power of the people’s toll. Wo demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a democratic government, and a reduction In tho num ber of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the people. Railroads, Express Companies, Tele graph and Telephone Lines. Wre favor the efficient supervision and rate regulation of railroads, express com panies, telegraph and telephone lines en gaged In Interstate commerce. To this end we recommend the valuation of rail roads, express companies, telegraph and telephone lines by the Interstate Com merce commission, such valuation to take into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost, the cost of reproduction, and any element of value that will render tho valuation fair and Just. We favor such legislation as will ef fectually prohibit the railroads, express, telegraph and telephone companies from engaging In business which brings them Into competition with their shippers or patrons; also legislation preventing the over-issue of stocks and bonds by Inter state railroads, express companies, tele graph and telephone lines, and legislation which wilt assure such a reduction In transportation rates as conditions will permit, care being taken to avoid reduc tion that would compel a reduction of wages, prevent adequate service, or do Injustice to legitimate Investments. Banking Legislation, We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill or the establishment of a central bank and we believe the people of the country will be largely freed from panics and conse quent unemployment and business depres sion by such a systematic revision of our banking laws as will render temporary relief in localities where such relief Is needed, with protection from control or domination by which it la known as the money trust. Banks exist for the accommodation of the public and not for the control of busi ness. All the legislation on the subject of banking and currency should have for Its purpose the securing of these accom modations on terms of absolute security to the public and of complete protection from tho misuse of the power that wealth gives to those who possess It. Wo condemn the present methods of depositing government funds in a few favored banks, largely situated in or con trolled by Wall street In return for politi cal favors and we pledge our party to provide by law for their deposit by com petitive bidding op the banking Institu tions of the country, natlonay and state, without discrimination as to locality upon approved securities and subject to call by the government. Rural Credits. Of equal Importance with the question of currency reform Is the question ol rural credit or rural finance. Therefore we recommend that an Investigation ol agricultural credit socletls In foreign countries be made, so that It may be as certained whether a system of rural cred its may be devised suitable to condition* In the United States? and we also favoi legislation permitting national banks tc loan a reasonable proportion of theh funds on real estate security. We recognize the value of vocatlona education and urge financial approprla tions for such training and extenstoi teaching In agriculture In co-operatloi with \ho several states. Waterway*. We renew the declaration In our las' platform relating to the conservation o | our national resources and the <lo v lop ment of our waterways. The present de vastation of the lower Mississippi valley accentuates the movement for the regula tion of river flow by additional bank and levee protection below, and the diversion, storage and control of the flood waters above and their utilization for beneficial purposes in the reclamation of arid and swamp lands and the development of water power, instead ot permitting the floods to continue, as heretofore, agents of destruction. We hold that the control of the Mis sissippi river is a national problem. The preservation of the depth of its water tor the purpose of navigation, the building of levees to maintain the integrity of Its channel and the prevention of the over flow of the land and its consequent de struction, resulting In Interruption of in terstate commerce, the disorganization of mail service and the enormous loss of life and property, impose an obligation which alone can be discharged by the general government. To maintain an adequate depth of water the entire year and thereby encourage water transportation, is a consummation worthy of legislative attention and an is sue national in Its character. It calls for prompt action on the part of congress and the democratic party pledges itself to the enactment of legislation leading to that end. We favor the co-operation of the United States and the respective states for the comprehensive treatment of all waterways with a view of co-ordinating plans for channel improvement with plans for drainage of swamp and overflowed lands and to this end we favor the ap propriation by the federal government of sufficient funds to make surveys of such lands, to develop plans for draining the same and to supervise the work of construction. We favor the adoption of a liberal and comprehensive plan for the de velopment and Improvement of our inland waterways with economy and efficiency, so as to permit their navigation by ves sels of standard draft. Post Roads. We favor national aid to state and lo cal authorities in t.h6 construction and maintenance of post roads. Rights of Labor. We respect our declarations of the plat form of 1908 as follows: The courts of justice are the bulwark of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party has given to the bench a long line of distinguished Justices who have added to the respect and confidence in which this department must Jealously be maintained. We resent the attempt of the republican party to raise false issue respecting the Judiciary. It Is an unjust reflection on the great body of our citizens to assume that they lack respect for the courts. It Is the function of the courts to inter pret the laws which the people enact and If the laws appear to work eco nomio, social or political injustice, It is our duty to change them. The only basis upon which the Integrity of our courts can stand Is that of unswerving Justice and protection of life, personal liberty and property as judicial processes may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. Experience has proved the necessity of a modification of the present law relat ing to injunction and we reiterate the pledges of our platforms of 1896 and of 1904 in favor of a measure which passed the United States Senate In 1896, relating to contempt in federal courts and pro viding for trial by jiiry in cases of in direct contempt. Questions of judicial practice have arisen, especially in connection with in dustrial disputes. We believe that the Sarties to all Judicial proceedings should e treated with rigid Impartiality and that injunctions should not be issued in any case in which an injunction would not issue If no industrial dispute wore in volved. The expanding organization of Industry makes it essential that there should be no abridgement of the right of wage earners and producers to organize for the protec tion of wages and the Improvement of la bor conditions, to the end that such la bor organizations and their members should not be regarded as illegal combina tions in restraint of trade. We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law creating a department i of labor represented separately in the | president’s cabinet, in which shall be in cluded the subject of mines and mining. We pledge the democratic party, so far as the federal jurisdiction extends to an employes compensation law providing ade quate indemnity for injury to body or loss of life. Conservation. We believe in the conservation and the development of the use of all the people of the natural resources of the country. Our forests, our sources of water supply, our arable and our mineral lands, our navigable streams and all the other ma terial resources with which our country has been so lavishly endowed, constitute the foundation of our national wealth. Such additional legislation as may be nec essary to prevent their being wasted or absorbed by special or privileged interests, should be enacted and the policy of their conservation should be rigidly adhered to. The public domain should be adminis tered and disposed of with due regard to the general welfare. Reservations should be limited to the purposes which they pur port to serve and not extended to include land wholly unsuited therefor. The un necessary withdrawal from sale and set tlement of enormous tracts of public lands upon which tree growth never existed and cannot be promoted tends only to retard development, create discontent and bring reproach upon the policy of conservation. The public land laws should be admin istered In a spirit of the broadest liber ality towards the settler exhibiting a bon aflde purpose to comply therewith, to the end that the invitation of this govern ment to the landless should be as attrac tive as possible and the plain provisions of the forest reserve act permitting homestead entries to be made within the national forests should not be nullified by administrative regulations which admit to a withdrawal of great areas of the same from settlement. Immediate action should be taken by congress to make available the vast and valuable coal deposits of Alaska under conditions that will be a perfect guar anty against their falling into the hands of monopolizing corporations, associations or interests. W* rejoice in the inheritance of mineral resources unequalled in extent, variety or value, and In the development of a min ing industrv unequalled in its magnitude and importance. We honor the men who in their hazardous toil underground, daily risk their lives in extracting and prepar ing for our use the products of the mine, so essential to the industries, the com merce and the comfort of the people of this country. And -we pledge ourselves to the extension of the work of the bu reau of mines in every way appropriate for national legislation with a view of safeguarding the lives of the miners, les sening the waste of essential resources and promoting the economic development of mining, which along with agriculture must In the future even more than In the past, serve as the very foundation of our ’national prosperity and welfare and our international commerce. Agriculture. We believe In encouraging the develop ment of a modern system of agriculture and a systematic effort to improve the conditions of trade In farm products so as to benefit both the consumers and pro ducers. And as an efficient means to this end we favor the enactment by congress ' of legislation that will suppress the per • nlolous practice of, gambliug in agric* 1 tural products by organized exchanges 01 others. Merchant Marine* We believe In fostering by constitutional regulation of commerce, the growth of a marine, which shall develop and strength en then the commercial ties which binds us to our sister republics of the south, but without imposing additional burdens upon the people and without bounties or subsidies from the public treasury. We urge upon congress the speedy j enactment of laws for the greater secur ity of life and property at sea and we favor the repeal of all laws and the ab rogation of so much of our treaties with other nations, as provide for the arrest and Imprisonment of seamen charged with desertion or with violation of their con tract of service. Such laws and treaties i lire un-American and violate the spirit, If not the letter of the constitution of the United States. We favor the exemption from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the Panama canal. We also favor legislation forbidding the use of the Panama canal by ships owned or controlled by railroad carriers engaged in transportation competitive with the I canal. Pure Food and Public Health. We reaffirm our previous declarations advocating the union and strengthening of the various governmental agencies relat ing to pure foods, quarantine, vital sta tistics and human health. This united and administered without partiality to or discrimination against any school of med i ics or system of healing they would con stitute a single health service, not sub ordinated to any commercial or financial Interests, but devoted exclusively to the conservation of human life and efficiency. Moreover this health service should co operate with the health agencies of our various states and cities without inter ference with their prerogatives or with the freedom of individuals to employ such medical or hygiene aid as they may see fit. Civil Service Law. The law pertaining to the civil service should be honestly and rigidly enforced, to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appointment and the pro motion rather than service rendered to a political party; and we favor a reorgan ization of the civil service with adequate compensation commensurate with the class of work performed, for all officers and employes; wre also favor the exten sion to all classes of civil service employes of the benefits of the prisons of the em ployers liability law. We also recognize the right of direct petition to congress by employes for the redress of griev ances. Law Reform. We recognize the urgent need of reform in the administration of civil and crim inal law in the United States and we rec ommend the enactment of such legislation and the promotion of such measures as will rid the present legal system of the delays, expense and uncertainties Inci dent to the system as now administered. The Philippine*. We reaffirm the position thrice an nounced by the democracy in national convention assembled, against a policy of imperialism and colonial exploitation in the Philippines or elsewhere. We con demn the experiment In imperialism as an inexcusable blunder which has involved us In enormous expense, brought us weak ness instead of strength, and laid our na tion open to the charge of abandonment of the fundamental doctrine of self gov ernment. We favor an immediate declar ation of the nation’s purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine islands as soon as a stable government can be es tablished, such independence to be guar anteed by us until the neutralization of the islands can be secured by treaty with other po^rers. In recognizing the inde pendence of the Philippines, our govern ment should retain such land as may be necessary for coaling stations and naval bases. Arizona and New Mexico. We welcome Arizona and New Mexico to the sisterhood of states and heartily congratulate them upon their auspicious beginning of great and glorious careers. Alaska. We demand for the people of Alaska the full enjoyment of the rights and privi leges of a territorial form of government and we believe that the officials appoint ed to administer the government of all our territories and the District of Colum bia should bo qualified by previous bona fide residence. The Russian Treaty. We recommend the patriotism of the democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives which com pelled the termination of the Russian treaty of 1832 and we pledge ourselves anew to preserve the sacred rights of American citizenship at home and abroad. No treaty should receive the sanction of our government which does not recog nize the rights of all our citizens, ir respective of race or creed, and which does not expressly guarantee the funda mental right of expatriation. Tlie constitutional rights of American citizens should protect them on our bor ders and go with them throughout the world and every American citizen resid ing or having property in any foreign country is entitled to and must be given the full protection of the United States government, both for himself and his property. Parcels Post and Rural Delivery. We favor the establishment of a parcel post or postal express and also the ex tension of the rural delivery system as rapidly as practicable. Panama Canal Exposition. We hereby express our deep interest in the great Panama Canal exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1915, and favor such encouragement as can be properly given. Protection of National Uniform. We commend to the several states the adoption of a law making it an offense for the proprietors of places of public amusement and entertainment to dis criminate against the uniform, similar to the law passed by congress applicable to the District of Columbia and the terri tories in 1911. Pensions. We renew the declaration of our last j platform relating to a generous pension 1 policy. Rule of the People. We call attention to the fact that the democratic party's demand for a return to the rule of the people expressed in the national platform lour years ago has now become the accepted doctrine of a large majority of the electors. We again re mind the country that only by a larger exercise of the large reserved power of the people can they protect themselves from the misuse of delegated power and the usurpation of governmental instru mentality by special Interest. For this reason the national convention insisted on the overthrow of Cannonism arid the inauguration of a system by which United States senators could be elected by direct vote. The democratic party offers itself to the country as an agency through which the complete overthrow and extir pation of corruption, fraud and machine rule in American politics can be effected. Conclusion. Our platform is one of principles which we believe to be essential in our national welfare. Our pledges are made to be kept when in office as- well as relied upon dur ing the campaign, and we Invite the co operation of all citizens* regardless of pajty, who believe in maintaining unim paired the Institution^/ and traditions of our country.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK Kingsley, Mich.—“Last May my thlrteen-months-old baby had a sore come on her cheek. It started In four or five small pimples and In two or three hours’ time spread to the size of a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
