"Ood (Jive Us Men."
Tho Fifty-Bovonth congress has boon
long onough In session to rovoal its
tendencies nnd to outlino its record.
Looking nt tho situation as it is in
Washington today, thoughtful Ameri
cans seo tho house attempting to dis
crlminato against our Filipino wards
as wo novor discriminated against
thorn whon they wore, utterly foreign
to us. .
Thoy sco Cuba, whoso bonds to
Spain wo dissolved, menaced with
completo commercial separation from
us, and with a commorclal Isolation
which oven tho Madrid government did
not imposo upon her. Thoy seo the
aspiration of tho Amorican people for
an isthmian canal that will at tho
same timo facilitate their commerce
and strengthon tholr national defense,
juggled, paltered with, and tossed
about as if It were a merest trillo of
tho day.
And all this thoy have seen done at
tho holiest of three or four special in
terests whoso part in the nation is
but a tiny fraction of tho whole.
On tho other hand, what do the peo
ple sco as tho only constructive piece
of legislation llkoly to bo accomplished
by this congress? The ship-subsidy
bill a measuro designed and pro
moted chiefly to tako the peoplo's mon
ey and put it In tho pockets of special
intoresta which fire well abte to tako
caio of thomsolves and to add to Hie
profits of tho two most powerful In
dustrial combinations of tho age.
This Is tho rocord of tho majority-
tho republican majority In tho Fifty
sovonth congress up to the present.
This Is tho record which, if not speed
ily altored, the publican T-&rty must
carry Into tlto congressional elections
a few months honco, and which Pres.
dont Roo3ovolt and his party must de
fend, if thoy can, in tho general elec
tion two years honco.
"God give us men," prayed a great
Amorican poet in a dark hour of tlia
nation's life. The republican party
and tho nation, as thoy contompbr.e
tho record now making by tho Flfly
sovonth congress, may well re-echo
that prayer. Chicago Inter-Ocean

A STIIAIOIIT SHOT
Brought About by Accident.
A lady who accidentally began eat
ing Grape-Nuts and quickly discov
ered" tho strength that she gained, felt
disposed to write regarding the food.
She says: "Grape-Nuts has done so
much for mo. When I came out of
school I was broken down in health
from overwork and nervousness.
Every summer during tho hot weather
I have been practically exhausted and
generally have lost ilvo pounds or
over.
Quito by accident I began using
Grape-Nuts and thought I liked it
very muoh at first, but the taste grow
on mo so much that I am extravagantly
fond of. it. I ate it all last summer
and was surprised to find that I kept
up With plenty of strength, my nervo
force increased, and I lost no flesh.
I know exactly what has sustained
me for I havo made no change in my
way of living except to take on Grape
Nuts. I never tiro of it. I always use
it with cold cream in summer and
warm cream in winter. This is a
straightforward, honest letter and I
trust it will be of service to you."

of tho handle for a cord loop or a
screw with ring attached will answer.
When the brush begins to spread pour
ovor it some hot water and draw to
gether with a stocking leg to dry.
About tho best preparation for cur
ing a chapped skin and keeping it
smooth and preventing wrinkles, be
causo It feeds tho skin, is made by
molting a piece of mutton suet, strain
ing tho fat through a hair sieve and
stirring into it an equal amount of
glycerine and a few drops of perfume.
Put it in little stone or glass jars,
covor to keep clean, and every night
rub or massage the face with it.
Whooping cough, when once the
acuto stage has been passed, can often
bo relieved by simple means. The
paroxysms of coughing are thqn chier
ly nervoils and may be avoided by dis
tracting the child's attention. A good
way Is to hold a bottle of smellllng
salts under his nose, not suddenly, so
as to frighten him, but quietly, with
tho assurance that it will help the
cough.
A simple home remedy close at
hand has often saved life. To havo
them convenient, fit up a cupboard
near tho bed, as they are often needed
in the night. A box nailed to the wall
and covered with a pretty curtain will
contain camphor, ammonia, lard, must
ard, peppermint. Put in an onion, also,
as it may save a trip to the cellar some
cold night when tho children are
croupy.
The best cure for rheumatism is care
of the diet; to eat only such food as
is nourishing and easily digested and
not too much of that; to avoid starchy
foods, including fresh bread. Plenty
of water should be taken, especially
between meals. At least three pints
a day should bo used.
No ono can understand the news of
the day if he does not know tho loca
tion of the place where the events are
occurring. To read intelligently one
must refer to the map, and an atlas
is required where it can be. readily
consulted. Tho habit of looking up
the places read about goes far to edu
cato a person.
Would you have an abundance of
sweet peas next summer? Then don't
delay, but plant the seed just as early
as the ground will admit.
When a man says he never needs a
doctor you can generally be sure that
ho will want one in a hurry as soon
as he feels ill.
When threatened with a chill bathe
tho body wltlUiot alcohol, rubbing the
extremities well, arid wrap up in hot
flannel.
To preserve fresh flowers for a long
timo, an authority recommends to put
a pinch of nitrate of soda in the water.
