It to a great help In *»ch ease* to have a food that ts naturally sweet and attractive. A case in Philadelphia will Illustrate. The daughter of Mra M. K. Bearles. Itvtng at IMO Mifflin street, was e delicate child from Infancy and had been Indulged

In despair, the child's aunt wee sent for, and knowing the wonderful nutritive Value of Grape-Nuts food, she prepared gome and Induced the little one to eat it At tha first taste she said: "Oh, auntie, this la so nice, I want some more." From thst time the child acquired an appetite and began to Improve. She was fed on Grape-Nuts stale Uy until now she is a Perfectly healthy, strong child, attends the Girls’ Grammar School, and is a Aright and apt pupil.

McCulloch Determined, but Healing and Artman Against Him—Gilbert and Artman Claim Credit. By the ruling of Lieutenant-Governor Gilbert yesterday afternoon, as related in yesterday’s News, the passage of the Muncie Normal bill—Senate bill No. a*— by the Senate on Thursday w&* declared to fee a nullity. The ruling meant practically that the normal bill was in the same condition as though it bad not been Introduced to the Senate, and as the bill had not yet been presented to the House, the ruling meant that the MU waa not and never had been properly before the Legtolarure. at the time of

the ruling.

The friends of the bill are much disheartened both by the ruling of the Lieutenant-Governor against the measure and the pronunclamer. to of Joseph B. KeaUng that the Muncie Mil, with others, must be killed In the interest of ] good politics. But they are not out of the fight and still talk hopefully. Geo. | F. McCulloch, father of the bill, to din- j posed to accept as final the ruling of the ; Lieutenant-Governor, after having examined the constitution. He lost no time j in starting the Mil In the House,. an<S j within a short time after the ruling had been made in the Senate Representative Carmichael introduced the Muncie bill ! in the House. Mf. McCulloch has Insisted that he had enough votes pledged to pass the bill in the House, and this was credited by j many, though a hard fight was expected. But now, In the face of the declaration of Mr.’ Healing, the known opposition of Speaker Artman. and the activity of | Mr. Clem and others against the Mil, j because of what they allege to be a breach of faith on the part of Senator ! Lambert and others, it 1s believed that the Mil has small chance for life In the . House, unless some entirely new combination to formed. Artman will Take the Floor. Speaker Artman to-day announced emphatically that If he see# any danger of this bill or any of the other objectionable bills, calling for special appropriations, passing, he will lake the floor against them. Hu to anxioils for one of them to come up, and says that If any one of the three bills—the Vincennes, the Columbus or the Muncie bill—to killed, it will mean the defeat of the

other two.

The ruling of the Lieutenant-Governor was based on Section 17 of Article 4 of the constitution of- the State, which reads: "BlUs may originate in either House, but may be amended In the other, except that bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.” As the Muncie bill, In addition to the appropriation It carries, levies a tax of one twentieth of a mill on every dollar of the taxable*! of the .Plate, for the purpose of maintaining the Plate normal school which the bill proposes to establish at Muncie, it la a revenue-raising measure The ruling came unexpectedly to the Senators at large, and was a complete surprise to Senator Ball, the author of 1 the bill, who, immediately on the ruling. ! hastened to the Chair end sought an ex- ! planatlon. The method taken to get the I ruling before the Senate was shrewd ! and effective. After having been passed i by the Senate, the Muncie Mil had been i sent in regular manner to tha House. President Gilbert, after he had decfdea to make his ruling, sent word to Speaker 1 Artman thst he (Gilbert) desired that ths I bill be relumed to the Seriate "for a cor- i reetton." Mr. Artman compiled with the | request, sending the bill to the Lleuten- , ant-Governor by a page. President Gil- j belt refused to receive the bill In that i manner, and sent it back to the Speaker with the word that he wished the blit to : be returned to the Senate with a message

from the House. This was done The Motion to Reconsider.

The first the Senate knew that the Mun- ' cle btlt would come up was when Senator Dausman sent up a motion to reconsider the vote by which Senate bill No. 9)4 hud I been passed. At the number of the bill all who recognised it were immediately on I the alert. Before Senator Dausman uad 1 taken hto eeat Senator Matson obtained recognition and said he raised the point of order that the President could n* consider such a motion. He did not vtete hto reasons. President Gilbert sust.dped the point and added that, right at th»it time, he desired to state the reasons why the motion to reconsider was hot in o* - - der. He then stated the provision of the constitution given above, and held that the Muncto bill, under the constitutljn. had never properly been before the Renata, and that He passage by that body

was nullity.

The Senate appeared astounded and darned. Senator Bali’s face was a stuuv. He mounted the step# to the LieutenantGovernor's side and heard the Ltcuun-apt-Governor's reasons over again. "I wade the ruling at this time." he said, "in order that It might be entered n the record before the thing had gone

any further.**

"Don't enter It until Monday." Senator

Ball plead* I.

Senator Ball said at that time and afterward on the floor of the Senate thn he would make a statement to the Senate, Mosday morning, as to hto views of the case. He did not wholly agree with ihe

ruling.

Gilbert Tell* About It President Gilbert told afterward how the point had occurred to him, and of hto plan to bring It before the Senate. White at luncheon at the Columbia Club, with Senator Matson, he said he decided that the bill could not constitutionsl!y originate in the Senate. He communicated hto belief to Senator Matson, and there the plan to bring the ruling before the Senate was formed. As Senator Dausman. on the day before, had waited until the roll had been called before voting, it was known that he Intended to offer a motion to reconsider. It was suggested that he .should move to reconsider. that Senator Matson should raise the point of order, and that then the President should make hie ruling. The plan waa known only to the three. President Gilbert, to make sure that he was not in eyror. sought the AttorneyGeneral. He was told by Merrill Moores. Assistant Attorney-General that he was right and that the bill ought to have . originated in the House of Representsl lives. Mr. Moores said the Supreme Court , would sustain the -point, but President L Gilbert said he wanted the affair straightened out at once. Shortly after the ruling had been made there was a report about the Senaie that Siwaker Artman was claiming the honor of having discovered the constitutional .rule nullifying the passage of the bill. Mr. Artman admitted he had discovered it. and with a disdainful smile heard the statement that President Gilbert laid claim to the honor of having first made

the discovery.

President Gilbert exhibited as documentary evidence a written communication from the Speaker, asitlng fur light on the Muncie bill. The letter. President Gilbert said, was received twenty minutes after the ruling had been made in

the Senate.

Friends of the Lieu tenant-Governor were good natu redly taking him to task for not announcing hto ruling before the

bill had passed the Senate.

"Well." he said, laughingly, "there are so many good constitutions.I lawyirs out there (meaning In the Senate) that 1 thought I would let them discover it

first.

It was wiaeiy felt that the LieutenantGovernor has known of the rule si! along and that he took the moat favorable opportunity to kill the bill. DOES NOT AFFECT OTHER BILLS

12^. “““-ass! WDHM'S KOI HUES j President Gilbert was right in hto ruling j that the bill ought to have originated In

the House of Representative#.

Although the provision of the constitution with regard to the point raised was an unnecessary one, he s*Jd. having originated from the old English constitution It was just as binding as though there was urgent need for it. If the Muncie bill had been passed by both the Senate | and the House, and hau been signed by I the Gov*- nor, without any objection hav- ] ing been raised to Its course, he said, the ; su. reme Court doubtless would not inter- i fere by rendering a decision dec taring the | MU us constitutionally enacted. But If f objection were raised, the blil must, of ) recewaity, originate ir. the House of Rep-

rettmativee.

Mr. Moores, while speaking unofficially, 1 was of opinion that the rule woo'd not : apply to any other measure oefore the Legislature. The Vincennes oilL which | originated in th* Senate, would no- prop- j erly come under the provision of tn«- rule, j under which the ruling on the Muncie |

normal bill was made

The rule, spoke of bills “tor raising rev- ; ehue." Revenue, he said, was money ; raised by taxation. A bill, therefore, to i authorize the issuance of bond* for a specie^ purpose was not a bill to raise ! revenue, but a bill to make a debt. A bill authorizing counties to levy taxes was not a bill in Useif for raising revenue. The Muncie bill, however, raised

revenue in itself.

The rule, he said, would not affect previous legislation, as the courts were averse to holding unconstitutional laws enacted by both Houses and signed by the Governor, no matter in which House

they had originated.

There was some talk of putting members of the Board of State Charities on the stand, but the opinion of the committee waa that this had better not be done until after other testimony was taken. As there were no witnesses present the committee adjourned for the night. The committee went to the Institution to-day to continue the investIgatlon.

To-Day's Visit of Senators Binkley ilia! ■ I ’ and Goodwine. Senator* Binkley and Goodwine, continuing the Investigation of the Indiana Reformatory for Girls and Woman - # Prison, arrived at that Institution at 10 a. m. to-day, on a visit of inspection. Senator Agnew, of the committee, was too ill to accompany them, and by advice of his physician remained at his hotel. The visitors were shown through the reformatory, visiting the school, work and playrooms, the hospital, chapel and laundry. ashroorns and dormitories. They remarked upon the extreme cleanliness of the place, and were assured that everything had its every-day appearance, and that no special efforts had been made because of their visit. A* a matter of fact, it was said that until the arrival of reporters upon the scene, the management had no intimation that the committee would come this mornlnr. The punishment, or "meditation corner," in the room of the assistant superintendent, was carefully inspected. There was a chair In this corner, in which a misbehaving girl is required to sit with her face to the blank wall and think over her misconduct. "How long is a girl required to stt theft-?*' asked Senatar Blnklev, who, pad In hand, was taking notes of all he saw and heard "The extreme limit," said Mins Keely, “!s three days. So long a period of puntshment is infrequent. The girjj, during this punishment, go to thetr beds at night, as usual." "And now," said Senator Goodwine,“can you show us the historic machine belt with which the girls r.re whipped?" The belt was produced. It was a round strip of leather, the dimension* of a load pencil, such as Is used to drive an ordinary sewing machine wheel. "Let us use this on a newspaper reporter,” said Senator Goodwine, "and see how It works." This suggestion was met with the retort that If It were so used there could be little doubt but that the reporter would be able to play the return game with a punishment that would have quite as much smart In It. As the committee, accompanied by the officers and reporters, moved through the rooms and halls, the girls showed great Interest In the visitors, following them with their glances. There are 193 girls In the reformatory institution, the youngest being only eleven years old. In appearance they rere tidy and neat, looking much like girls of the same age that are found In the public schools. Borne had fine, sweet faces, and were bright and intelligent. Yet nine out of ten of these girls were of record on the books of the institution as Immoral. There ere a few. the superintendent and teachers said, that are not bright. No Vermin DIgcovered. The charge that has been made that the place Is Infested with vermin seemed to excite the superintendent and other officers to greater anger than any other. The two committeemen were shown the beds In the hospitals and in the dormitories, and detailed statements were trade as to the stringent measures taken, against pests. As these measures are brought into use once a week, the vermin evidently must lead a very unquiet life at this institution. "fThen a girl come* in here." said Miss Keely "we tell her that the door to shut upon the past—nothing whatever to to be said about that—but that the door of a better future Is open to her." The visitors were told that half the girls go to school in the morning and the o»her half in the afternoon of each day; that the other half day Is given to wor*. chlcflly sewing and laundering, that a sufficient amount of time is given to rest, recreation and play, the girls being alInwed to go out upon the grounds during good weather. The conversation-room and the playroom of the younger girls, and the cloaet in which the dolls and frames are kept, excited pleasant comment from the visitors Each of the Senators conversed with girl? who had "ome from their counties. asking them a number of questions as to their treatment, and making note of their answers

The tost week In the Legislature has been fruitful in events, though little legislation has been enacted. Since the . Legislature convened, only sixteen Mils hare become tows with the signature of j the Governor, and these are all of small importance. He has signed all that have come to him. This doe* not Indicate that the Legislature hxs not been at work. It has been grinding away steadily and bas a mass of MUs on thetr way to passage, and another mass dead and buried. Only twenty more working days remain for the Legislature to finish Us work, however, and it is regarded as clear that many of the pending MUs will be allowed to fall by the wayside. The Legislature to not far behind the record of two years ago. At the last session, with the same number of days ahead, only twenty-seven bills had been passed and filed with the Governor. Columbus, Vincennes and Muncie. The chief interest of the tost week has centered about the Vincennes University appropriation bill, the bill for an epileptic village at Columbus, and the bill providing that the State shall take over the normal school at Muncie. AH three ot these bills have passed the Senate, though yesterday’s ruling of the iaeuten- j ant-Governor throws the Muncie bill out. The interest of next week will be In watching the actions of the Represents- j lives on these measures, now that Joseph B. KeaUng and Speaker Artman have announced that they must die. George F. McCulloch will make a mighty fight for Lis M'.mie bill and some warm time* are looked for. Epileptic Village. The bill for an epileptic village at Columbus has an interest not common with the other special appropriation bills. It passed the Senate as drawn, but the house has struck out the provision requiring the village to be located at Columbus. It has also cut down the appropriation for buildings and the amount of acreage. The Columbus people will make a fight to have Columbus reinserted, but Mr. Clem and others have been deflected from the Columbus side by what they charge to be a breech of faith on the part of Senator Lambert and other Senators The Columbus and the Vincennes bills passed the Senate as a result of a combination of the friends of

each.

Anti-Trait Legislation. The anti-trust question is still as far from settlement as ever, and Republicans are expressing the fear that the party will not keep Its pledge to pass an antitrust bill at this session. All the antitrust bills introduced in the House have been killed, except the Ctoper MU. and it is thought that this, if any bill of the kind, wUl pass the House. It to on third reading. The Agnew anti-trust bill, the only one of its kind in the Senate, to on third reading there, and the Senators are ■ 'HI fearful that the author will call it up and get It passed, or that It will be defeated, before some sort of compromise can be reached. The Republicans are afraid of this bill as being too stringent, Just os some of them are afraid of the Cooper MU as not being stringent enough. Some Republicans are expressing the wish that the Indiana Republican leader* will take hold of this matter, and compel the passage of an anti-trust bill for the sake of good politics, the same reason as 1s urged for the defeat of the special appropriation Mils. Primary Election. The primary election squabble to coming to a head. The Joss bill, which, it is generally understood, the Bookwalter ring desires to have passed instead of the Minturn bill, which has passed the House, lias Just been introduced in the Senate, and Monday night the Senate committee on election* will hold an open meeting to consider both measures. The friends of the Minturn Mil are charging thnt the Jo** bill has been offered simply In the interests of the Bookwalter ring, and that as it provides for separate primaries and the election simply of delegates at the primary, there might as well be no primary election bill passed as to pass this one. The Bookwalter people. on the other hand, and Senator Joss disclaim any ulterior purpose. The Minturn hill supporters hope to get their bill enacted by bringing the weight of popular opinion to bear on the committee. They say that If It appear# to the Senate that the people of Indianapolis derirs the Minturn bill, the Bennie can hardly. In justice, refuse to pass It. no matter what position the Marlon county Scnatorr may take. Senator Layman la said to be for the Minturn bill. Insurance and Other Matter*. Insurance matters have occupied considerable of the attention of the Legislature this week, the principal bill now before the committeea being the one known aa the antBrebate MU. No report has yet been agreed on. The Insure nee men are active against the proposed anti-trust legislation, but their fear to nni bo acute as It was. The reapportionment measure has been agreed on, but not yet passed. The Mouse committee on temperance ha# killed all the Mila before ft. and It is regarded a# settled now that there will b- no temperance legislation. The "no g is no pay ' bill, which passed the House, to still reposing In committee in the Senate. Railroad Legislation. The railroads are congratulating themselves over their success thus far. The bill prohibiting the voting of eubsldle# and the bill limiting the amount of subsidies have both been killed. Mr. Lout- i tit * two-cent fare Mil ha* been killed ! by the House committee. Mr. Neal's Mi for 500-mlle mileage hooka has parsed the House, but the railroad* are ready for it In the Bcnate. There are two measure* now that are bothering the railroad*. One to the bill i Just introduced giving Indianapolis the poser to elevate the tracks, at 1 the other Is the Calumet canal bill. Tne latter wo-’ld. !f passed, cause them great expense for bridge? It has passed the Senate. but a hard fight i? being waged before the House committee Way* and Mean*. The ways and mean* and finance committee* have got under way In the conriktotation of the anpropriatlnns for the next two years, and their report will be up for consideration before ke,g jc 0 volins machine, legislation has yet «e-*r. enacted. but the passage of a MU seems assured There is r.o visible action on the propoattiors to remove from this city the blind and deaf and dumb Institutions and the Industrial School for Girls and Woman's Prison, nor the plan to build a Governor’s mansion in St Clair' Park. These measure* have been allowed to he inactive, Indiana will no* have an exhibit at the Buffalo Pan-American Ex-osltion. the House having killed the appropriation M l The Ft.

SALE OF BLIND INSTITUTE.

Commercial Club Committee Has a

Hearing.

IndlanapoUn citizens appointed by the Commercial Club to urge the Legislature not to sell the blind Institute grounds nor to put It to any other use than was originally Intended, had a hearing before the House ways and means committee late yejterday afternoon. Chairman King, after the meeting, expressed the belief that It was too late to prevent the use of St. Clair Park (adjoining the Institute) ar a^alie for the Governor's mansion. Thtcommittee came away with the Impression that the intention of the advocates of the mansion now is to change the Howe bill ?o as to provide for the structure in the center ot the park. Instead of at one corner. There are members ot the House committee, however, who are opposed to the project; others who are etro.-.gly antagonistic to the said of State lands, and only a tew who urge that the blind Institute should be removed. The citizens' committee urged that all of the Btate grounds surrounding the Institute should be reserved for the future needs of the blind and avowed that as the blind have the first claim on the ground, the city of Indianapolis could not object If In the future the park should be found necesnary to the uses of the blind. At the same time the committee represented that the attendance at the Institute Is small—not exceeding 131 for many years, and that there appears to be ample room on the present site and

Chairman Kriig and others of the committee ealle>r attention to the fact that the superintendent and trustees of the institute are recommending a change of location, and asked for the Yeasons, which they supposed must be weighty. The visiting committee did not know the reasons, except that it had been urged that there are danger* of Immorality In the heart of the city. The advantage of the city as affording educational advantages to the blind and ample fire protection were cited, and the whole subject was gone over. The Commercial Club committee was asked for an opinion on the proposition to build a Governor's maneion and the proposition to sell the Deaf and Dumb Institute and the Woman's Prison grounds. On these the committee declined to express opinions, except as individuals, as Its sole object w'aa to carry out the club's Instructions to save live Blind institute grounds
