CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles
Away
Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when a
man is unable to eat even a light break
fast, for years, without severe distress,
he has trouble enough.
It is small wonder he likes to tell of
food which cleared away the troubles.
“I am glad of the opportunity to tell
of the good Grape-Nuts has done for
me,” writes a N. H. man. “For many
years I was unable to eat even a light
breakfast without great suffering.
“After eating I would suddenly be
seized with an attack of colic and vomit
ing. This would be followed by tiead-
ache and misery* that would sometimes
last a week or more, leaving me so weak
I could hardly sit up or walk.
“Since I be.gan to eat Grape-Nuts I
have been free from the old troubles.
I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more
*mes a day, taking it at the beginning
jf the meal. Now I can eat almost any
thing I want without trouble. ,
“When I began to use Grape-Nuts I
was way under my usual weight, now I
weigh 30 pounds more than I ever
weighed in my life, and I am glad to
speak of the food that has worked the
change.” Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little
booklet, “The Road to Wellville,” In

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 7.—The Income
tax section of the tariff bill has retarded
progress of the measure in the house
that Democratic leaders early today
expressed doubt of the bill’s passage
before tomorrow.
Majority Leader Underwood sought,
when the house reconvened, to speed up
consideration of the section, but there
were scores of minority amendments,
and he found it difficult to fix any time
for closing debate.
Following the Income tax were the
administrative features of the bill with
several stumbling blocks in the way,
notably the provision giving a 5 per
cent differential on imports in American
owned vessels.
Should these features be reached be
fore the night session, the Democrats
plan to bring about an agreement for
a vote before adjournment, probably
about midnight.
After the reading of the bill Is con
cluded under the five-minute rule there
may be two motions to recommit.
Minority Leader Mann will have one
motion which will include amendments
to the bill as a whole.
Because of the chair’s ruling j'ester-
day that the rule provided a tariff board
is not germane* to the bill, another
fight on that feature seems assured.
The Republicans plan to adopt it
again at the close of the bill’s consid
eration and an appeal will be taken
from the chair’s ruling a second time.
The Progressives also may have a
motion to recommit. If possible, how
ever, the bill will be put upon Its pass
age before adjournment for the day.
The flrlt attack on the income tax
today came from Representative Gra
ham, of Pennsylvania, who unsuccess
fully urged an« amendment to change
the provision requiring the tax to be
paid at the source of income. Represen
tative Hull, in charge of the section,
declared the plan had worked success
fully for fifty years in England, “where
every hod carrier understands and ap
proves It.”
Consideration of the income tax fea
ture of the bill finally was concluded
and the house immediately proceeded
with the administrative provisions witn
little likelihood of opposition.
PORTUGUESE PRISONERS
SENT AWAY FOR TRIAL
(By Associated Press.)
LISBON, May 6.—The Portuguese
government has dispatched political
prisoners arrested for complicity in
the last attempt to overthrow the re
public on April 27 to the Azores for
trial and punishment.
About 200 of the prisoners were
marched at dawn yesterday on board
the steamer Cabo Verde, which sailed
at once bound for Terceira island,
where accused are to be courtmartial-
ed in the fortress of Angra, capital of
the island.
The Portuguese premier was question
ed last night in parliament on the sub
ject, and replied that the prisoners had
been sent to Angra under the provisions
of the law giving the government the
right to choose any place for the trial
of political prisoners.
Families of the accused are terrified
by the step taken by the government,
and express fear as to what may hap
pen to their relatives when they arrive
on the remote island and are placed in
the secluded stronghold.
The riots on April 27, in which the
prisoners were implicated were started
by the ultra Republicans. They gathered
in groups before the barracks of Lis
bon, fired revolvers, exploded small
bombs and cheered for “the radical re
public.”

FRISCO FACES WATER
FAMINE DURING FAIR
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.—W. . B.
Bourn, president of the concern that
supplies San Francisco with water, is
authority for the statement that if
conditions continue the city will face
a water famine during 1915, exposition
year. The present supply of about 40,-
000,000 gallons per day will not be
adequate in 1915, he said, and while
water rates are kept at their present
level his company would be unable to
extend its water system to keep pace
with the increasing demand.
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 6.—President
Wilson does not propose to sign a tar
iff bill that will ruin any particular
legitimate industry of the United States,
and to guard himself against it he is
using all the resources of the govern
ment available.
One of the striking examples of this
is to be found in an executive order,
news of which came out today, for the
department of commerce to make an ex
haustive examination of the pottery in
dustry of the United States.
The potters of Ohio and New Jersey
have assailed the pending tariff bill
persistently and bitterly. They even go
so far as to charge bad faith on the
part of Chairman Underwood in not
writing the bill as they understood him
to promise to do. Their claims that the
bill as it was reported to the house
will ruin the pottery industry of the
country have been presented to mem
bers c f both houses of congress and to
the "White House.
In response to It the president issued
a direct order to Secretary of Com
merce Redfleld to make an investigation
forthwith to see if the potters are ac
curate in their claims. The order di
rects that not only the books of the
potters be examined, but that the entire
business be investigated. The potters
have offered to throw open their books
to the government and the president
accepted the offer, with the proviso that
everything else connected with the bus
iness also must be thrown open.

MRS. ELLIS FELL FROM
TRAIN, DOCTORS SAY
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CORDELE, Ga., May 7.—That Mrs. W.
K. Ellis, who is now confined to the Cor-
dele sanitarium, in a serious condition,
jumped from a window of the sleeper
of an Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
eastbound train at Ross, near Cordele,
early this morning while the train was
running at not less than twenty miles
an hour is the best conclusion that can
be reached by parties investigating the
accident or attempted suicide.
There are several mysterious con
nections with the affair that make it
appear probable that she attempted to
end her life by jumping from the train.
Mrs. Ellis, as she gave her name to
physicians attending her, is very reti
cent, refusing to divulge the place of
her residence and some details in con
nection with the accident or attemtped

ment in Chihuahua and Sonora, to com
bine the constitutionalists element witn
the following of Vasquez Gomez which
was lost to M&dero when the two men
disagreed after the taking of Juarez two

strong, aside from the political popular
ity of his brother, Attorney Emilio Go

Lawrence Yerger Tells Missis
sippi Prison Board How He
Obtained Funds
(By Associated Press.)
JACKSON, Miss., May 6.—“I am ready
for my punishment. 1 am prepared to
go to the penitentiary and serve my
time, and when I finish the sentence I
expect to return to Jackson and lead an
honest life.”
In these words, Lawrence Yerger, de
faulting secretary of the Mississippi
prison board of trustees, prefaced his
complete confession to that body this
morning of having embezzled sums ag
gregating $30,000 from the state during
the past four years.
The former secretary explained in de
tail the various methods by which he
had obtained the money.
During his confession Yerger took a
roll of bills from his pocket amounting
to $680 and threw it on the table before
the trustees, stating that it was all the
money he could raise to meet his short
age.
Governor Brewer has written a letter
to the prison board asking the members
of that body to co-operate with him in
the investigation he has instituted to
ascertain if there were others involved
in Yerger’s transactions.
ALABAMA CROPS POOR;
RAIN BADLY NEEDED
(By Associated Press.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 7.—Spe
cial dispatches to the Advertiser from
all sections of Alabama state that crop
conditions as a whole are very discour
aging. Because of lack of much needed
rain, the cotton crop is far behind its
normal state, and much repainting has
already been undertaken.
In the majority of reported instances,
where the crop has attained any kind of
a stand, It is very poor.
Corn is suffering similarly, and re
ports say the oat crop is a practical
failure. Slight precipitation, compara
tively in isolated parts of the cotton
belt of the state has served to give re
newed hope to the planters, but unless
heavier rains are experienced much real
damage is predicted.

slaughter in . the commission of an un
lawful act.
