March 24.-Hatlng at the Annapolis Naval academy was dealt with by th house today In the passage of a senate bill with a house substitute. The action was taken after a protracted debate, which placed In the record the Impressions nf the special committee which Investigated the sublect recently and severe criticism' of efforts to condone haslng by Mr. Hep burn of lows. Several amendmenta were proposed to tho measure, but all were re jected save one making It the duty of cadet officers to report Infractions of the mica na well as other offenses to academy au thorities. Thu bill repeuls that portion of existing law which makes It compulsory to dismiss midshipmen guilty of huzlug In any de gree and substitute pun:slimeut according to tho nature of the offense. Cruel and brutal Inning tuny be punished by dia mlksal. Previous to the haclng bill considera tion $33 pension bills were passed. Hasina- Hill Taken I u.

Generally each meal or lunch waa followed by distressing pains and burning sensations In my stomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggT that It was hard for me to discharge my duties properly. "This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention waa railed to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded tu try it. Bines then I have used Grape Nuts at ' nearly every meal and some times between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food tn our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts mightly handy for It la ready cooked.

The measure he contended was too great a modification nf (he present law In tho direction of leniency. It would, he said, greatly encourage haslng. Mr. Smith .(la.) made the observation that If political Interference with the naval and military academies should cease the officers In charge could absolutely abolish hazing. A speech by Mr. Hepburn (la.) was a severe criticism of what he said was a perversion of the real object of the train ing. Them) cadets were being prepared at the expense of the nation to command the ships and men bf the navy. They were, as matter of fact, living In constant and open rebellion of a plain' law of the land, with which they were more familiar than with any other. The result of such a course of training, he said, was shown by the inefficiency of naval officers. lie called attention to a list of twenty-five ships which had met disaster by bad navigation and added a reference to the recent mix up in New York harbor. Yet, he aald, there was no punishment ever Inflicted on naval officer. They were tried by their friends and former class mates. A defense of the cadets was made by Mr. Padgett (Tenn.), member of the special haslng committee, who minimised the gen eral charge as due to the pranks of boys. Mr. Hepburn secured the adoption of an amendment requiring cadet officer aa well as Instructors and naval officers to report Infractions of the haslng regulations, after which the bill was passed. The house ad journed at 4: 3R o'clock. HKFOHM9 FOR PHIXTIXi Orl'KK (..arP..H... Iji.dl. lslrod.ee. He.o lntlon to Correct .4 bases. WASHINGTON. March 24.-Two Joint resolutions, designed to correct some of "the most glaring abuses and Inequalities" In tho present system of public printing and binding, were introduced today by Representative C. K. Landla of Indiana and were accompanied by a preliminary re port of the printing investigation commit tee, explaining the necessity for Immediate reform. One resolution provides that public docu ments and reports printed for congress may be lxsued In numerous editions, In steud of one edition, aa la the case at pres ent and authorises the Joint committee on printing? to establish rules and regulation fmm time to time for the guidance of pub lic prluter 1n the issuance of documents. This - resolution, the report explains, is neccsxary to cure the extravagant print ing of documents which are never distrib uted. At prune nt the government ha in storage more than s.UO tona of document, most of which are said by the commission to bo obsolete. In addition to this amount thousand of tona have been sold to deal ers In Junk. The rapltol basement and all other available space In public buildings nre filled with these and in addition the government is renting warehouses for the stoiage of document at a coat of $1100 a year. The second resolution introduced by Mr I.andls provide a complete change in the allotment of the expenditure for printing and binding, with a view to making heads of department and chief of bureau re sponsible for the amounts expended with their authorisation. In the lost fiscal year the appropriation for printing and binding for rongree . and the executive depart meiita mas $6,1,96. Of thin um $2,745,750 was allotted to the department and $V Sn.fciS to congress. i naer this statement congress stands charged with more money for printing than was expended In all government de partments and Independent office. The report slates that this showing Is abso lutely erroneous and coaceal one of the chief cause of department extravagance In printing Vmier the present system all tcpori to congress by the executive de- ,,f- - ., a,aa.a,Baaia. a,a to form the. desired fullness.

I,ack of reMralnt upon the depart ment officials Is said by th report to be re sponsible for much extravagance. To cure this Mr. l.a mils' resolution pro vides that the congressional allottment for printing and binding shall only be charged with Its pro rata share of the expense of the department publications, based on the number of copies actually furnished to con gress for distribution. The resolution also provides that all department heads shall get an estimate from the public printer each yenr for the probable cost of the documents they will require and that the amount needed shall be specifically set aside.

Up to the present time' the different rail way extensions definitely announced for South Dakota this year by the Milwau kee, the Northwestern, the Minneapolis A St, Louis and the South Dakota Central will give the state KM miles of new road. Besjdes these announced extensions, there are pretty well settled rumors that the Great Northern will add a few more mil- to its Dakota lines before the close of the year, and other projects are expected to bring th mileage for the year to fully 1.0U0 miles. It is doubtful whether any other state in the union ever secured that amount of new railroad mileage within one year, and the! new country to be developed by these lines will give the state a boom which will have the solid foundation to make it permanent and tasting.
