SENATE FIGHT ON REPUBLICANS LOSE NO TIME IN ATTACKING NEW SCHEDULE. MAKE GLOOMY PREDICTIONS Present Bill Would Ruin Sugar In dustry Completely, According to What They Say.. t Washington, D. C.—Republicans of the senate leaped eagerly into their fight against the Underwood tariff bill when it was brought over from the house, and precipitated an issue by atempting to override the decision of the democrats to consider the meas ure without public hearings. Forerunning the assault that the re publicans propose to wage they pro pose to have the bill referred to the finance ommittee with public hearings after Senator Simmons, chairman of the committee, has moved for a con ference without instructions. While this phase was pending when the senate adjourned, several republic an leaders predicted that they would win their contention and that the public hearings would be forced over tne neans oi tne nnance committee. Democratic leaders, however, disputed! this prediction. 41 Speaking on the Penrose amend ment Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, in a vigorous appeal for consideration of the bill in the open instead of “in the darkness and gloom" of the committee room, assail ed the tariff bill. He declared that it would result in a repetition of "dark days” that followed the Wilson bill, that the sugar industry would be ruined, that other industries would suffer, and that already business was falling off rapidly' throughout the country. Charging that free sugar in three years would give the American Sugar Refining company and the Federal Su gar Refining company an option which they would foreclose on the property of the beet sugar interests, their j only domestic rivals. Senator Smith ; declared that the beet sugar industry, i in which 15,000 persons in Michigan I alone were interested, would be wiped out. “if the American Sugar Refining company and the Federal Sugar Re fining company," said Senator Smith, “have made an alliance with the dem ocratic party, it is an unholy alliance.

URGE NATIONAL GOOD ROADS Recent Convention Adopts Resolution Proposing Highways From Wash ington to Capitals. That national roads be built con necting Washington with the capitals of every state in the Union was the tenor of a resolution unanimously adopted by the national good roads federal aid convention at a session re cently held in Washington. The reso lution further advocated the creation, wherever they do not now exist, of "effective state departments in every state” for the construction and main tenance of good roads. A proposition, made by William T. Page on behalf- of Representative Slemp of Virginia, urging the ap I — Pennsylvania Road Before Improve ment. pointment of a committee in the house of representatives to look after legis lation affecting good reads, was heart ily indorsed, although no formal ac tion was taken. Representative Moss of West Vir ginia criticised the tendency which, he said, seemed to characterize some of the speakers, to encourage class distinctions and similar “factional ism." His remarks followed addresses by several speakers who said the farmers were holding back the good roads projects because they believed them to be only "automobile roads." “I believe the farmer is entitled to consideration." said Mr. Moss. "I think reckless drivers should have their licenses taken away from them hut 1 am also against the farmer who believes he has the exclusive right to the roads. The roads are for all the people, rich and poor. We should all stand shoulder to shoulder in this proposition and not encourage any fac tionalism.” Other speakers included Representa tive Kinkaid of Nebraska. Judge J. M. Low>e of Kansas Citv, Mo.; Pendleton Same Road Re-located and Improved Becklev of Louisville, Ky.; Samuel H. Lea of South Dakota; Dell M. Potter of Clifton, Ariz.; C. C. Gilbert of Nashville, Tenn., and Col. Cameron. Judge Lowe in his address declared that congress should not hesitate to appropriate money for good roads, as it has appropriated enough for rivers and harbors. Aided Good Roads. The inauguration of the parcel post did more for the good roads move ment than any sigle action of the government in many years. The con stitution specifically provides for the construction of post roads. That the parcel post cannot be successful un less the government exercises its "tw er in imporving the highways is ac cepted as a fact. Good Roads in Texas. The citizens of Montgomery county, Texas, recently voted bonds to the amount of $250,000 to be used in con structing good roads in this county. Work will begin at the earliest pos sible date. No Encouragement. » In considering roads remember that there are few towns that look so good to the farmer that he will kill his horse to get there. Bad Roan? a Tax.

But when a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast, for years, without severe distress, he has trouble enough. It is small wonder he likes to tell of food which cleared away the troubles. “I am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me,” writes a N. H. man. “For many years 1 was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffer ing. “After eating I would suddenly be seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would be followed by headache and misery that would some times last a week or more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk “Since I began to eat Grape-Nuts 1 have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more times a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal. Now I can eat almost anything I want without trouble. “When I began to use Grape-Nuts 1 was way under my usual weight, now 1 weigh 30 pounds more than I ever weighed in my life, and I am glad to speak of the food that has worked the change.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
