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.

(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.

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.

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.
