Isiana, addressed the house, as a sort ef- of advanct e agent for the Southland i to general and Louisiana in particular. lie based his remarks on the exodus 1'. if many of "our best citizens' into the is British Iossessions north of the United n- States, and the rapid congestion of he our cities, caused by the growing un e poplularity of life on the farm, and by a the large influx of foreign immigrants, 2a many of whom settle in cities." As a ad remedy for all those prol)lems, he sug n- gested to the house that the persons id concerned should be induced to come n- to the South. )f He showed that during the last fl'. y'ears 3,2, ;11 citizens. carrvtne \ itt i to them material wealth in money and d property, valued at over $312,000,00,), u- "to say nothing of the immense poten ' tial value of each of these splendid Slpeople," emigrated from the United - States into Canada. I "The Southern states would gladly Y furnish homes to every one of our own y citizens," said he, "who have gone to Canada or contemplate such a move, and would welcome all the boys ant girls who have left or expect to leave ? the hardships of northern farms to seek unfamiliar work in congested cities. Then he entered into a description s of what the South offered. y "A few years ago." he remarked, . "the Southerners were nearly all farm . ers, and the one crop was cotton." "Its scepter was seized some time ago n by King Corn and is now firmly held . by that monarch," he added. o But corn and cotton are not the only . crops grown in the South, Mr. Rans. e dell gave the house to understand. He e told of a great change that had come over it and the present practice of dl i versification of crops. - The farms were not the only things s the South had to offer, Mr. Ransdell 0 informed the house, lie suggested that t an inspection of mining, mercantile and manufacturing statistics would show that. He challenged the statements that the South was not a healthy section. The whites, he said, were just as < healthy as whites in any other portion t of the country. "The negro race is not healthy," he admitted, "for reasons which the scope of this speech pre vents me from discussing." RECLAIM 25,000,000 ACRES In Arkansas and Louisiana -Seek Taft's Aid for Fund.

Flew Many Miles Over Sea. t Now York.-C'harles K. Hamilton arose fromn Governor's Island in an aer. oplane Monday ,rorning and sped with out a break eighty-eight miles to Phil adelphia in a remarkable cross-couui try flight. He made the trip in 1 hour and 51 minutes, leaving Governor's Island at 7:35 and landing at Phila delphia at 9:26. Arriving at Aviation Field, he deliv erted letters from Gov. iHughes and Mayor CGay nor to (,ov. Stuart and May or Ileyburn, accepting :messages of congratulation from themi to bear in return and started for New York again with only a brief intermission for food, fuel and oil. He had flown approximately seventy mIiles of his retirn journey when a s sluggish motor drove him to descend in a swamp near South Amboy, N. J., at 12:55 p.m. The pro;:eller was broken H there in landing, but after repairs had been made. Hamilton resumed his flight at 6:20 and landed at Governor's Insland at 6:39. Thus the return trip 3T was made in one hour and thirty-six minutes, at an estimated average speed of 45:96 miles per hour, which breaks the record made in the Curtiss eflight from Albany to New York. That Hamilton did not make the re turn trip as easily as the outgoing trip was due only to undue haste. In his bg hurry to get away he neglected tc ,y clean his spark plugs, they fouled, the u- engine balked and he had to come rt down on the banks of the Raritan ri;er 1 two miles above South Amboy. Curtiss still holds the official record is for speed but Hamilton took all Amer to ican records for cross-country distance d and duration, and using his own figures of for the return journey, his average n- speed per mile established a new fig )y ure. The accident to the propeller In s, the Jersey swamp was the second mis a hap of the kind dluring the day, but a g- telephone call to Governor's Island is brought a new one by automobile with Le a new set of spark plugs and the avla tor was able to finish within twelve hours, although twenty-four hours were nt allowed In the termin of his contract. d Hamilton flew thirty-two miles over 1, the salt water with no protection but 1- three inner tubes of bicycle tires d wrapped around his waist. He took d chances on rooftops, bridges and mov. ing trains that have never been even y thought of before, let alone attempted n OKLAHOMA HAS DUAL CAPITAL e Crisis Is Approaching-Officials Domi. l o cied in Oklahoma City.

Mark Twain, as an example of un conscious humor, used to quote a Hartford woman who said one day in the late spring: "My hiusband is the dearest fellow. 'Jim,' 1 said to himn this morning, 'are you very hard iup just now?' "'I certainly am hard upl,' he re plied soberly. 'This high cost of liv ing is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do.' "'Then, Jim,' said I, 'I'll give up all thought of going to the country for July and August this year.' "Buit the (hlar fellow's face changed, and hi, said: " 'Inded, then. you won't, darling. I thlotlght '(lti wallitctd lo liiy a hat with an aigret to oir swJ such foolishness. No, no, lily dai'ling--,Jhi ('all always fird, the moie-y to let his dear little n'il' go to the couiintry.'"

"At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered sonice from a Chi cago tr:avceler. "I had been greatly affl 'cted with sudden attacks of cramnips, nausea, and voniitilig. Trfied all sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only tempiorary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never returned. "M.y (ld attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disapipeared entirely. I am today per fectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish, without paying the penalty that I used to. We would not keep house without Grape-Nuts. "Myv husband was so dilightcd with the b.enefirs I receiv,,l that he has been recouiiirnding Grape-Nuts to his custonmers and has built up a very large trade on the food. Ife sells them by the case to miany of the leading physicians of the county, who recom mend Grape-Nuts very generally. There is sonie satisfaction in using a really scientifically preqpar(d food."
