CHICAGO MERCHANT MAKES STATEMENT. After Spending Thousands of Dollars and Consulting the Most Eminent Physicians, He Was Desperate. CHICAGO, ILLS.—Mr. J. G. Becker, of 134 Van Buren St., a well-known wholesale drygoods dealer, states as follows: "I have had catarrh for more than thirty years. Have tried everything on earth and spent thousands of dollars for other medicines and with physicians, without getting any lasting re lief, and can say to you that I have found Peruna the only rem edy that has cured me per manently. "Peruna has also cured my wife of catarrh. She always keeps It in the house for an attack of cold, which it invariably cures in a very short time." as ing the is by to his or in a OF WORTH IN HIS BUSINESS Boy Detective Congratulates Himself That His First Name Is Easily Pronounced. "It's a lucky thing for me." said Bill Butts, the Boy Detective, to himself, "that my folks were plain people and believed in plain names. Supposing, for instance, I had been named after the fashion of my distinguished kins man, Archie Butts, the military facto tum of President Taft. "I'm out on the case and I've trapped my man. I stand facing him fearless ly with a scowl on my face. "'And who are you?' he asks. " 'Archibald Willingham De Graffen reid Butts, the Boy Detective!' 1 an swer. "Honestly, 1 believe I'd have to laugh saying it. Anyhow, before I got through my man would be on the next block.

"I want a hat pin," said little Mary of four years, as she gazed eagerly at the cushion full of sparkling orna ments on the milliner's showcase. "How much is it?" she asked, after making a very deliberate choice and laying her purchase money, a bright penny, on the counter. "Oh, nothing," returned the kind-hearted Mrs. Briggs, as Mary's mother was one of her regu lar customers.

A good appetite is the best sauce. It goes a long way toward helping in the digestive process, and that is abso lutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape Nuts food is hot only nourishing but is a great appetizer. Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner. "I am 57 years old," writes a. Tenn. grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found any thing to equal Grape-Nuts as a standby. "When I have no appetite for break fast and just eat to keep up my strength, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with good rich milk and when dinner comes I am hungry. While if I go without any breakfast I never feel like eating dinner. Grape Nuts for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinner. "My 13-months-old grandson had been very sick with stomach trouble during the past summer, and finally we put him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is growing plump and well. When asked if he wants his nurse or Grape-Nuts, he brightens up and points to the cupboard. He was no trouble to wean at all—thanks to Grape-Nuts."

CAUCUS PLAYS WAITING GAME. Nomination Will Be Thrown Into Open Session. Another couple of ballots in the sena torial nominating caucus, without result other than to indicate the hopeless ness of the tangle in which the body is involved .in this famous political game, was the program of Thursday after noon's session of the democratic caucus. In fact, it la-gins to look very much as if the members engaged in caucus ing as party adherents will continue to play the waiting game until the legis lature itself, in joint session, takes up the work. It is now believed that this is part of the game that is being played by some of the managers, with a view to throwing the contest into the offi cial body, and so reach the coveted "open ballot" after all. It is quite significant that, notwith standing all the dark horse talk and speculation, the animal lias not showed his nose as yet, the several men who have received scattering votes in caucus having or support as Without incident or preliminaries of any kind, after the double roll call, Chairman Street gave the terse order. "The tellers will prepare for the bal lot," and the game was on. There was the same absence of enthusiasm noted in the assembly, and, in fact, there was a spirit of restlessne languor prevalent, as though the major ity were tired of their job and devoutly wished that the thing was settled and out of the way. Even the motion to ad journ. which was fought with some de gree of force and spirit yesterday, was adopted today with scarcely any opposi tion. failed to develop any following actual contenders. and nervous Fifteenth ballot-—Vardaman, 69; Per 23; Anderson, 23; Alexander, 20; 13; Longino, 5; Critz, cv, Byrd, 14; Kyle, 4; scattering. 4.

Mere Land for State Farms. Governor Noel sent a special message to the body, recommending considera tion of a number of matters not spe cifically brought out in the message in chief, one of the most important planks in this document being the recommenda tion to consider the question of addi tional land for state farm purposes, a matter which has been considerably dis cussed of late and has been specially mentioned by the trustees of the peni tentiary in their reports, effect is already pending. A bill to this Cotton Grader and Classer. Mr. Adair introduced a bill to be en titled an act to employ a cotton grader and classer for the state and to provide for the sale of said cotton, authorizes the trustees of the peniten tiary to select a competent man for the duties, who shall receive a salary not exceeding $1,^0° a year, and who shall class and grade all cotton raised by cwnvict labor. Tt also provides that cot ton so classed and graded shall be put on the market in not less than 100-bale lots. The bill Want Law Amended. A big delegation is here endeavoring to persuade Governor Noel to recom mend the amendment of the corporate holdings law of 1906 to the present session of the legislature. The delega tion came all the way from Hattiesburg and is made tip of the most representa tive men of that great and growing community, who declare that the act of 1906 has been exceedingly detrimental to every interest in that section.

Two other applicants for the place, who were regarded as serious contenders, are State Senator Charles F. Engle of Natchez, and Hon. H. H. Elmore of Lex ington. Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Among the quiet but effective workers in the house of representatives is Hon. John Calhoon of Marshall. Representa tive Calhoon will introduce a bill to establish and maintain a state sana tarium for consumptives and tuberculo sis, and to provide for disseminating information upon the nature, treatment and cure of tubercular diseases, and to make appropriations therefor. All of the states in the Union, except five, have provided for the establishment of su<th sanatoriums. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. Practically No Change Since the Ballot ing Began.

The balloting showed a larger number of men present and voting than on either of the other occasions, the highest number hitherto being 170, leaving 11 not voting, while on one ballot Monday night, there were 175, or within six of the total voting strength, which is 181. The best that Gov. Vardanian has done so far was on the ninth ballot, when he came within twelve votes of a decision. They are all still in, and though they regret the prolongation of the deadlock, the fight is going to he conducted to a finish. Nothing is said of a dark horse, and the determination is apparently to fight it out, though something may yet be run by way of a surprise. The three ballots in detail were as fol lows : Seventh.

Conspicuous among the events of the legislative session was the opening of the way for salary legislation, which has been under consideration as a leading topic of discussion for some two years. The special committee having filed a re port and under authority from the gov ernor, a bill was introduced in the house by Stockett of Wilkinson county, pro viding for the specified changes in sal aries, and referred to the committee on fees and salaries. The bill increases the salary of the governor from $4,500 to $6,000; the secretary of state from 2, $000 to $2,500; decreases the salaries of the railroad commissioners from $2, 000 to $1,500; decreases the salary of the insurance commissioner from $3.500 to $2,000, and that of the penitentiary trustees from $2,000 to $1,500. The bill is drafted along the lines of the speciall committee's report, and it is likely will j develop much opposition, both in coni- | mittee and on the floor, since it is claimed that it "equalizes left-handed." Subjects for Legislation. The governor Monday sent a message to the Legislature, in which he submitted to their consideration, without comment or argument, certain subjects which he thought might be considered at this ses sion. Among these are the equalization of salaries of State officers, judges of the Supreme Court, circuit judges and chancellors; the transportation of pu pils in the rural districts to and from schools where two or more have bepn Consolidated; the establishment of a State charity hospital ; to grant author ity t» courts to suspend sentences in criminal cases and during good behavior of the convicted persons; giving express authority to the governor to grant con ditional pardons, based on good behavior and subject to revocation for cause. Making Soil Surveys. The bureau of soils, which is a branch of the United States Department of Agri culture, is now working in co-operation with the Mississippi geological survey, and during this winter soil surveys will be completed in Noxubee and Adams counties. For this work the bureau of soils furnishes two men and the State two. The object of this work is to make a thorough study of the soil and agri cultural conditions. Borings are made to a depth of three feet and the soil is classified into different types, according to its texture, origin, topography and crop adaptability. Samples are taken of all the types found and sent to Wash ington, D. C., to be analyzed. Agricultural High Schools. Mississippi is a great agricultural State. In recent years it has forged steadily to the front among* Southern States in this field. It has adopted scientific methods. It has endowed schools for disseminating new and suit able ideas, and now the governor is di recting his efforts toward securing agri. cultural high schools, so that the ad vanced agricultural principles may be given to generations to some. Liquor Ads May Be Barred. While not putting the recommendation in specific terms, Gov. Noel's biennial message nevertheless authorizes consid eration of a measure to prevent the pub lication of liquor advertisements in Mis sissippi newspapers, and Mr. Breland has introduced a bill on the subject. The Breland measure has been referred to the liquor traffic committee, from which body it will doubtless receive a favorable report. It is uncertain, how ever, whether or not it can be put through. Governor Counts Cash. Gov. Noel Saturday counted the cash in the State treasury and verified the count previously made by Treasurer Ed wards, as provided in the constitutional provision, which requires that such count must be made between January 1 mod 10 and July 1 and 10. The certificates of each of these officials shows the fol lowing balances: County tax on land re demptions, $1,236.55; penitentiary war rants paid, $3,954.57 ; bond coupons, $19,* 683.75; cash on hand in treasury, $8, 330.15; balance on hand in depositories $255,161.86.

Although the survey of the past year's anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all parts of the country indicate that this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number j of patients that will be treated will be | more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropria tions have been made in the various municipalities for next year's anti tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976, 500. In addition to these appropria tions over $4,000,000 has been set aside by the different state legisla tures for the campaign against tuber culosis this year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present exist ing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily. She Wants a Bonnet. The manager of a department store received the following order from one of his out-of-town customers, who wanted a bonnet: "Mazure of head from ear to ear over top of head 12 inches; from ear to ear under my chin 9% inches; from forehead to back hair seven inches. I want a black lase bonnet with stream ers and rosetts of red or yallow satting ribbon and would like a bunch of pink Rozes or a blue plume with a black jet buckel.
