to him : "John what makes you such
a bitter partisan ? " " 'VeIl , Joe , " was
the reply , "coming front you , that Is
certainly very good. " "Oh , never mind
about me , but tell mo why you are

answered gravely , "To tell you the
truth , I never saW a Republican until
I was 21 years old , and I can't get

FOOD FACTS

What an M. D. Learned.
'A prominent physician or Rome ,
Georgia , went through a food experience .
ence which he makes public :
"It was my own experience that
first led mo to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and I also know from having prescribed -
scribed It to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food Is a wonderful .
derful rebullder and restorer of nerve
. and brain tissue , as well as muscle.
It improves the digestion and sick
patients always gain just as I did In
strength and weight very rapidly.
"I waR In such a. low state that I had
to give up my work entirely and go to
the mountains of this state , but two
months there did nut Improve me ; In
tact I was not quite as well as when I
left home. My food absolutely refused -
fused to sustain mo and It became
plain that I must change , then I began
to use Grape.Nuts food and In two
weeks I could walk a mile wIthout tha : :
least fatigue and In five weeks returned -
turned to my home and practice , tak-
Ini up hard work again Since that
time I have felt as well and strong as
I ever did In my lite.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers I consider Il n. duty to
make these facts public. " Name given

the regular food does not seem to sus-

NATIONAL TICKET I I
REPUBLICANS SELECT WITHOUT
A DISSENTING VOTE.
.
FAIRBANKS AS RUNNING MATE
A Good Deal of Enthusiasm Manifested
Notwithstanding Results Were as
Anticipated from the Assembling of
.
.the National Republican Convention.
For Presldent-
Theodore Roosevelt of New York.
For Vice President--
Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana.
CHICAGO.-The swift , sure current
of public opinion for the second time
In the history of republican conven-
tions , on : Monday resulted lu the selection -
lection of a national l ticket without a
dissenting vote. Theodore Roosevelt
for President and Charles W. Fairbanks -
banks for vice president received ev-
ery vote In the convention.
Regardless of the fact that the nomination -
Inatlon of one had been assured for
months and the other for days , the
announcement of the choice was ac-
compnllshed by a resounding demon-
stration which attested the candi-
dates' universal popularity. The
cheering was lead by figures known
the breadth of the land antI echoed
hy a mighty throng or enthusiastic
men and radiant women assembled In
the Coliseum to witness the crowning
feature as well as the close of the
national convention that marks the
semi-centennial or the publican party
In the United States.
No less than 10,000 men and wom-
en participated In the ratification ot
the party program and the consequent
roar of cheering and hand-clappln
was deafening. The band , stationed
high among the girders of the hall ,
was drowned by the tumultuous and
unbounded demonstration. Bats were
tossed high in the air , state em-
blems wore waved and flags fluttered
from every baud as though stirred
by a gale. I
When Governor lllack of New York I
made his speech nominating President
.
Roosevelt to succeed himself as president -
dent the delegates In the republican
convention showed there Is no absence
or enthusiasm In their ranks when occasion -
casion justified exhibition of that qual-
Ity.
Pandemonium broke loose when the
speaker announced that there were
9tH votes and 99.1 had been cast for
Hoosevelt. A great picture of the
president was carried about through
the halt. It was followed by a ban-
nor carried by the Oregon delegation
bearing the words : "I"lrst gun , Oregon ,
23,88-1 Hoose volt. Forty per cent republican -
publican gain. "
Alabama again yielded Its place at
the head or the list when the roll call
was started for nominations for vice
president The rank this time was
given to Iowa and Senator Dolliver ,
taking the platform , named Senator
Fairbanks. ' 1 ' he speech was an eloquent .
quent endorsement of the candldate's
qualifications and was received with
tremendous applause. Seconding
speeches were made by Senator De-
pew , Senator J.'oral\Cr , Governor Pen
nypacker and Senator Carter atlon. : .

BIG LAND BATTLE.
Expectation Is That It Will Soon De
Fought.
ST. PETERSBURG-The Immi-
nence oC a battle In the northern
part or the Llao Tung peninsula IJ
admitted by the War cffi'o and Is indicated .
dlcated succinctly In today's dispatches -
es from the Associate I Press correspondents -
spondents at Llao Yang , Kal Ping and
other points on the railroad.
The week or skirmishing around
Situ Yen retarded General Kurokl'M
operations permitting General Stak-
elberg to reach Kai Ping , the rear
glard slowly falling back on Senuchcn
before the Japanese advance. Mean-
whllo large forces are hurrying south
from Llao Yang to check both Gen-
oral Oku and General Kurokl.
It 115 believed here that General
KouropatJcln' object Is to prevent a
juncture at the Japanese armies. On
the other hand , the aim or the Japanese -
ese apparently Is to drive the Rus-
sians out of the Line Tung peninsula ,
preparatory to a march on lIao Yang.
The approach of the rainy season
will more than like precipitate mat-
ters. Nothing Is known of the reported .
ported occupations of Halung Yal
Chen ( Hsi Yung Ya Cheng , or Yl
Yung Cheng ) by the Japanese. If
the report should be correct , It agrees
substantially with the Japanese plan
of advance , as It Is understood here ,
but It Indicates that the Japanese
outposts are further forward than
Russian advices Indicate.
, It Is not betraying Vice Admiral
Slerydlotr's plans to say that Important -
ant naval developments are Imminent
In the far east.
The admiralty has no news of the
reported loss or two Russian torpedo
boat destroyers oft Port Arthur. The
latest dispatch from Rear Admiral
'Wlthort , In command or the naval
. forces at Port Arthur , dated June 17 , '
reports all weB there
The British ambassador , Sir
Charles Hardlnge , Is not presenting

The Preacher's Evidence.
holand , Ill. , June 27.-Dlabetes has I
so long been looked upon as an incurable - ,
curable form or kidney disease that
a sure cure for it must rank as one ot
the most valuable medical discoveries
of the age. And every day brings
forth fresh evidence that Dodd's Kid
ney Pllls will cure diabetes. Important -
portant evidence In their favor is giv-
on by Hov. Thos P. Norman , the well4 ;
known Baptist minister beret Mr.
Norman says :
"I had all the symptoms of a bad
case or diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills that I cheerfully recommend
them to anyone Buffering tram that
dread dlscase. Dodd's Kidney PUll
wlll cure the worst form of diabetes. "
Dodd's Kidney Pllls always cure
diabetes , one at the final stages at
kidney disease. All the earlier stages
from backache to rheumatism are
naturally much more easily : cured b1 ) ) '
the same remedy. .1 '
