wllh the warmth of his reception here.]

politics throughout the day. hut Mi.,
Taft steered clear ">f the subject His j

I public interest in and support of the
I general arbitration treaties with Oreat
: Brtl iln and Franc?. Mr. Taft listened,
j however, to .1 good, ??ld-fnslilunc.l Re
publican campaign speech from Repre
entatlve Young, in which the con?
ti e Kman look occasion to make a few
pointed remarks about different brand*
of progre*?slvehess.
Senator Townscnd. of Michigan, whr
impanied the President,' denounced
Mr, Taft'-s critic* :i- belonging; gen
I orally 10 a clas.i of ??selfish politi?
cians."
j It was in Introducing President Taft
to an immense throng In a three-rlns
circus tent ihn! Representative Tonne:
made his political address. Ho re?
ferred to Mr. Taft as having taken of

was nec.le.t. and not a tearing down.
C- ntro ' ricli. iTiarln Weep,
"tic hr,' bort? wlseiv. prudently and

Voting; "he is the greatest living rep?
resentative of genuine constructive
progresslveness On the other hand,
i there Is a spurloui nrocresslveness a!
I which cynics Inuch and angels ween."
Mr Young praised the President for
his veto of the statehood bills hecause
of the Judiciary recall, declaring tha'
!l was an act of eouraire and wisdom
roii.il to Grant's veto of the inflation
Mil. and thai 11 placed Mr. Taft In the
vorv first rank of American statelier
and patriot*.
Then the Congressman again dc
nounced r.T:?. Tafl's critics. He referred 1
to tlie muck-raking magazines thn'
sell slander and vituperation at II
cents a copy," and lo a class of "slip?
pery, disloyal politician* "
The President, he said, was opposed
by every deinn rroitnc and every "shifty
politician." This fact he declared,
caused the President to he loved "for
the enemies he has made."
"Hut the crr?it American people are
sound at the core," he concluded, "and
while the shifty, slippery politician*:
and t'ie demagogues lltcy distrust th'
Judgment of the people for a time, the'
will see r>irht at .last, ami President
Taft will stand In the glory of th.
noonday as the leading American
statesman of his time, and historians
will point with pride to the two terms
of William Howard Taft as President
of the United states."
When Mr. Taft arose to re?pond a
man in ? rear of the lopi called on,
"You're all fight."
"I'm glad to he assured," laughed
the President

j Mr T.ift did not follow Mr. Young's

some one charge that there bad been
a conspiracy of nattering exchanges
In advance. The President then
launched into an explanation of the
arbitration treaties. Senator Town
send listened Intently to the Presi?
dent's address, and when he spoke
later, pledged his support to the rati?
fication of the pacts.
Mr. Taft said that one of his Impor?
tant missions on the present trip was
to make the peace treaties more gen?
erally understood. He believed that

fruits of his early missionary work,
and with the interest his hearers fyave
displayed In the subject of peace.
Senator Townsend praised the Presi?
dent for the work of his admlntstra
tlon and declared thru Mr. Tuft was a
statesman, not a politician.
President Taft also referred while
here to the pending Nlcaiaguan and

ratification by the Senate. The United

Doing Things
By Clear Thinking
The thought comes first.
The better the brain,
The better the thought,
The better the achievement.
A good working brain is built up from food which
contains the things brain is made of.
FOOD
!s skilfully and scientifically prepared from wheat and
barley and contains the "vital" phosphate of potash
essential in building up a well-balanced body and brain.
"There's a Reason"
FOR
SAVE NINE
With a Stitch in Time.
To know of and use a food that will
feed and restore brain and nerves before
slight nervous troubles end in complete
nervous prostration or brain-fag is wise,
for unless proper food is supplied daily
it is unreasonable to expect the nervous
system to answer the demands made
upon it.
There is a food, Grape-Nuts, for the
particular purpose of restoring weakened
nerves or fagged brain to health and
strength.
A business man of Baltimore, who made
the trial, says:
"Two years ago m> health had become
so seriously impaired it was impossible
(or mo to attend to business. At the
least exertion my nerves would give way,
and thr condition of my system allowed
me little or no rest or sleep at night.
Stomach trouble soon followed, and I
could take no solid food. I tried the best
tonics and medicines, but they all failed.
"Finally Grape-Nuts food was recom?
mended, and after using it for 10 days I
began to feel its good results, and at the
end of three months I was again a well
man?nerves restored to their normal
condition, strength renewed, and I was
able to do any amount of both mental
and physical work without feeling unduly
fatigued.
"1 know Grape-Nuts built up my brain
and nerves and still keep them strong and
vigorous just exactly as food builds up
muscles or fat, for instance, and I am
glad to have learned this valuable lesson."

strange controversy over the Identity
of "'George A. Kimmel," who reported
himself to be a mon lone supposed to
be doad. was further complicated to?
day. While scores of persons posi?
tively ldentlflod hint as the son for
whose supposed death thirteen years
ago Mrs. Rstella Kimmel received $5,
000 In life Insurance, an equal number
were as positive that he was not her
son. Then Mrs Kimmel. seventy
years old, who asserted that the man
Is Impersonating her son merely to de?
prive her of the money she already 1ms
received and to prevent the payment
of $2f>,000 more In Insurance, scrutiniz?
ed the man who claims her as mother.
Brought! face to face with the wo?
man, the "Kimmel" just released from
a llvc-year term In the Auburn. N. V..
prison, stretched out his arms and said
pleadingly: "Mother, don't you know
your boy? Don't disown me any" long?
er. You know I am your son."
Mrs. Kimmel, withdrawing from the
man as he attempted to embrace her,
stood sternly scanning his face.
"No," she said. "1 don't see In you
any positive resemblance to my son."
The meeting took place at the home
of Mrs.J Harry L> Fox, who already
has accepted Kimmel as a cousin; anil
positively Identified him as the eon of
Mrs. Kimmel.
Hnn No nireel Interest.
It was made known that Mrs. Kimmel
has no direct Interest In any money
which the lnsurnnce companies refuse
to pay on the ground that the son
still Is living, but that a $20,000 policy
is held by a daughter, Mrs. Edna Kim?
mel Bonelott, and another $6,000
policy Is held by a distant relative.
"I would have no selfish motive In
denying the Identity of my son If he
were alive," said Mrs. Kimmel. For
years I have felt sure h<- was dead, and
I cannot believe that this man Is he.
It seems thru some motherly instinct
ought to tell me the truth, yet when 1
look at him I do not recognize him. llej
only puzzles me. It has almost pros?
trated me to look upon this strange
man and have people insist that he Is
my son. If I were sure he was my son,

j vigorous growth than a good quinine
? tonic. But do not trust to any prepared
? tonic that may huvo been made so long
I as to havo lost Its strength. Get from

i and a half pint alcohol; mix together.
1 then n<id a half plm cold water. Mas

beautifully lustrous. This splendid
tonic Is a positive remedy for tailing
I hulr.
Miss n.: You will find tho following
lotion a splendid skin-whltotier and
complexion beautitlor: Dissolve four
ounces of spurmnx In a half pint hot
water, then add two ten-spoonfuls gly?
cerine. This not only token the place
of a face powder, but you will find It
far better In every respect. It does
not rub oft or show llko powder, and
benefits the skin. Apply this lotion
to the faco, rubbing irently until dry.
It will take away that ahlny, muddy,
rough look and leave your skin smooth
and frrtsh looking. This Inexpensive,
lotion Is now used lnrgely by women
of refinement. StSd Is unequnled for re?
moving freckles, tnn and skin pimples.
M. M.: No, do not use dry shampoo
powder under any circumstances. Au?
thorities on hair culture almost Invari?
ably condemn such mixture*, a? they
simply cIok urt tho poro* In tho sealp
and cause dandruff and other scalp
troubles. When your hair needs wash?
ing, use for your sha-mpoo a tenspoon
ful of canthrox dissolved In a cup of
hot water.- This mnkes a rieh lather
tihal cleanses perfectly and will leave
your hair brlghtor, cleaner and flufller
than ever before. This shampoo rinses
1 easily, dries quickly, and positively
! will not make the hair streaky and
1 brittle like soap dors. If yon will use
this shampoo once, f am euro you will
I he 10 pleased that you will never care
j to try any other
W. F.. To make your eyes clear,
bright, and show the aparkln of health,
dissolve an ounce of crystos In a pint
of water md put n few drops In each
eye twice dally. This soothing tonic
Is very strengthening to weak, tired.
Inflamed eyes, and will make, your ?yea
clear and beautiful. For sore, granu?
lated Ilde It la splendid and greatly
lielpa those who wear glasses.
Mrs. D. J.: You need a good, strength?
ening tonic and liver regulator, to
purify your blood and build up your
health. Take before each meal a
tublespoonful of the following: Dis?
solve a half cup sugar and one ounce
kardcne In a halt pint alcohol, then
add hot water to make a full quart.
This home-made tonic will clear up n
sallow, pimply complexion quickly, and
as a liver regulator. It Is simply, splen?
did. It makes the best home medicine
imaginable, and does wonders In re?
storing lost appetite, energy and gen?
eral good health.
Veta S.: To clear your complexion
nnd make It smooth, soft and satiny,
use the following cream-Jelly: Mix to?
gether one ounce of almosoin, two tea
spoanfula glycerine and a half pint
cold water. Stir and let stand a few

pores below your eyes and clearing up
your complexion. It removes all pore
dirt, blackhead*, freckles and skin
pimples, nnd when used as a mnssoge

superfluous hairs, because with a llttlo
delatone and water you can make a
p.uste, wJIIch, npplled to the offensiv?
hairs and left two or three minutes,
then rubbed off. will remove every
? race of hair. Oet an ounce of dela?
tone and use as I suggest, washing
the skin after removing the delatone.
and you will be dellpfhted Wltfh results.
Delatone costs a dollar an ounce, but
i worth every cent, as It la unfailing.
Mae W.: I do not approve of dlAtlng
and exerelslnjc for fat reduction. The
simplest nnd beat way Is to get four
ounces of parnotls from any drug irtore
and dissolve It In a pint and a half of
hot water. Take a tablespoonful be?
fore each meal, and to your great ?at
Isfucllon you will soon notloe your f*t
disappearing. This harm lese remedy
will not leave your akin wrinkled and
flabby, and has the Indorsement of
thousands who have tried H.
I God knows I would bo triad to take
I him In my arms."
Mrs. Kimmel will have another talk
with the man to-morrow.
"Kimmel," on looking at the woman,
said he was positive she was hin moth
i
"I wanted to take her .In my arms,"
said he. "for sh" looked tho same as
yens ago. I love her with all my
heart, and cannot understand why aho
should Insist that I am dead SHU 1
will not worry her, and If she con?
tinues to disbelieve me, It shall bo an
she wishes. Hut I know I am Kim?
mel. for I recognize every one."
To test his acquaintance with Nllcs.
"Kimmel" later wus escorted about
tho streets. He repeatedly pointed
out the landmarks and related for?
mer Incidents which the townspeople
Mild were correct. Nodding to peo?
ple, he 'called them by their full
nan*4f, but many of them professed
not to recognlzo him as tho real
Kimmel.
"Now. to prove 1 am familiar with
the town." said Kimmel. '1 will tell
you that behind that hill there Is a
big red brick house, on the south sldo
Ol which is a large elm tree, from
which we used to swing when boys."
Opinion* i 'mini, it uk.
Every one declared the statement
was correct. Meantime, scores of peo?
ple who went to the Fox home to
identify Kimmel carno away with con?
flicting opinions. Some of the rea
fcons'glven fur opposing the brilof that
It was Mrs. Klmmel's son were:
Henry Iiean. druggist?Because he
remembers that Kimmel when younp
had brown eyes, whereas the present
claimant has light gray eyes.
Dr. F. M. Bonlne?Because he per?
formed an operation on Klmmel's eye
which left a scar that could not hav?
been eradicated, whereas the new
"Kimmel" has no such scar.
/George Fr.iners, Chief of 1'ollce of
NUes?Because he knew the real Kim?
mel from boyhood up to the time of
his disappearance, and this man had
no physical resemblance to the for?
mer; Is positiv,- he is not the man.
Among those who claim tho man is
Kimmel are Joseph Wilson, Janitor of
the Nile.? First National Bank?Be?
cause "Kimmel" on first seeing h'm
shouted. "Hello, Joe." He recognized
"Kimmel" aa a former employe of
the hrtjnk.
Dr. J. F. Brown?Because he found
on the left wrist of the newcomer tat?
tooed the initials "G. A. K."
Joseph Hatcher?Because "Kimmol"
recalled vividly the drowning of a
boy In a lake near Nllcs fourteen
years ago.
, Samuel Qulmby?Because "Klmrmi"
could tell him in detail of what hap?
pened at a lodge meeting more than
fifteen years ago.
Sure IIc'h Not Klmmell,
Kansas City, Mo? Septeiyher 20.?
The Andrew J. White, of Auburn. N.
y? Matteawan, and NUes. Mich.. Is not
George A. Klmmell, according to A. J,
Hunt, of Arkansas City. Kan., who
knew Klmmell many years. Mr. Hunt
Is In the grain business, and arrived
In Kansas City to-day.
"I first knew Klmmell In Omaha,"
Mr. Hunt said. "We were next door
neighbors three years, and then Klm?
mell lived at my house for one year,
when he went to Arkansas City to
become cashier of the Farmers' State
Bank. In Arkansas City Klmmell
built a grain elevator and nont for
me to come and take charge of It.
As every one knows. Klmmell disap?
peared from Kansas City In 189S.
"In February, 1307, while In New
York, my wife and I heard that on*
Inmate of the Matteawan Asylum salil
he was Klmmell. We. went to sec this
man. II? recognized neither of us,
and he looked nothing like the real
Klmmell.
"Last June, A .11. Denton, president
of the Home National Bank, at Arkan?
sas City, who knew Klmmell well,
Mrs. Denton, my wife and I went to
Auburn, where the man who pretend?
ed to be Klmmell had been taken from
Matteawan. Again we saw this man
White, and all of us made positive
statements that he was not Klmmell."
Klmmell disappeared from hero in
August, 1898. After obtaining $600
sent here fo rhlm from Arkansas City,
Kari., fro ma cterk at a local hctel,
the banker entered a cnb with a
ft lend, and was driven away. The
story of "White" Is that he wns drug?
ged after he had entered the cab,
taken to at-^I^oills nnd held a pris?
oner by three men. He finally es?
caped his captors, he says, and went
] lo Detroit. He was arrested on a
charge of forgery in Buffalo In the
fall of 1898, and later adjudged Insane.
Shortly after his release from the.
asylum in 190r>, he appeared In New
York and protested the claim of Klfn
tneH's relatives to life Insurance the
banker carried.
