OLD FAVORITE GARDEN SEED GRAFT MAKES MANY RURAL RESIDENTS FEEL FRIENDLY TOWARD CANDIDATE. Washington, Sept 5. Wonder often is expressed at the exacting labor men will undergo for the sake of retaining their means In congress. This does not apply to the discharge of public duties. Of the nearly 500 senators and representatives there are hardly more than two score who are even approximately hard worked by matters of legislation. The average senator or representative devotes ten hours to "keeping solid" with his constituents to where he devotes one hour to necessary legislative labors. Nor are the men who toil early and late to hold on to their $7,500 a year salaries men of mediocre abilities. Many of them could earn much more at their chosen professions if they worked at them half as hard. Lawyers predominate, of course, and there ought to be no dispute of the general proposition that the lawyer who has sufficient standing at home to be elected to congress ought to earn more then "7, 500 a year if he remained at home and worked as hard at being a lawyer r.s !:e works at being a congressman. The case is familiar of a member of the house from Pennsylvania who remained in congress twelve years and In that time never made a speech and never secured the passage of any sort of legislation except his allottment of private pension bills. But he never overlooked an opportunity to write a long and cordial personal letter to a voter in his district. If there was any voter In that district who didn't get a letter at least once a year it was because the member of congress didn't have his name. The result was that this man remained in congress until he died while more brilliant men who sought to attract public attention to themselves fell by the wayside because they had cultivated the limelight instead of cultivating their constituents. Last winter a senator from a southern state undertook to write a personal letter to every man who had slsmed Ms nominating petition. He got so badly swamped that he had

to resort to "process" letters, but iti Is doubtful if many of the recepients recognized in them anything but an Individual personal communication. Another member of the house, a young Texan, spends all his summer vacations traveling over hl3 district, the area of which equals some of the New England states, and it is declared he knows every man, woman, child and dog in the eleven counties he represents. He justifies this course by pointing to the fact that other ambitious democrats have given up trying to defeat him for the nomination. Some Try Sensations. Other members of congress do more or less spectacular things, especially when they are serving their first terms, as a means of impressing their constituents with the fact that they are energetic hnd useful. As an example, Albert Douglas, who is serving his first term as the successor of the veteran Gen. Grosvenor. made a trip to Europe this summer for the purpose of studying coal mining in Wales and Belgium. Mr. Douglas, has a

Vim and Vitality Lie in Wheat This talk about health foods why, nothing else known can compare with whole wheat, when it's made wholly digestible. Nature's one perfect food, prepared in the perfect way. That is what Mapl-Flake means to you.

AH the essential food elements pre stored in whole wheat. And in whole wheat alone are they perfectly balanced. Wheat is the utmost in food. For brain or muscle for the weak or the well it does all that food can do. Anything else supplies less of your needs. But the problem has been to sfce wheat wholly digestible to tilize for yoa every whit of its yxi value. That is the problem which is solved in Mapl-Flake.

We cocK our wheat in pure maple syrup, to get fiat enticing flavor. That is for the children's sake. Growing children, even more than adults, need this ideal food. So we make it so good that they want it Serve it and hear what they say. Ask if they want it again. Give them the food that's all food if they like it better than others. Don't be content with a lesser food. Don't buy a only half so delicious. Get one package of ''. pl-Flake. Let it show you how much you are

great number of coal miners in ljis district and his venture was well calculated to convince them that their congressman was interested in their wellfare. Mr. Douglas purposes using the information he gathered in advocating legislation by congress for the better protection of miners, and especially the creation of a bureau of miners and mining. Mr. Douglas has not shown very resplendently is the successor of Gen. Grosvenor, who was one of the most conspicuous men in congress, but it cannot be denied that he is playing good politics. Returning from Europe, he had himself interviewed in Washington and the interview will be used as a campaign document in his state. Garden Seeds Graft. Most of those who strive to escape political annihilation, however, depend upon personal letters, garden seeds and government publications to keep themselves in the minds of the voters. It is told of a Western senator, who' made a practice of sending to the voters of his state every scrap of government printed paper he could get hold of, that last winter he caused to be dispatched to the home folks a large bundle of Washington city telephone directories. The directories, meant for distribution around the capital, had been left at the door of his committee room and he ordered his secretary to send them out, without having examined the contents of the package. The story of "Big" Tim Sullivan and the garden seeds has been told before. City congressmen make a practice of trading off their garden seeds, which their constituents cannot use. for the government publications of members from rural districts. Sullivan's district took in the east side of New York city where there are no gardens and where but few voters are able to read government publications. "Tim" got busy at the beginning of one session and traded all his government publications to other New York city members for their garden seeds. "But what in the world do you want with garden seeds?" one of his colleagues asked him. "My constituents make soup of 'em," answered "Tim." We spend 96 hours to make Mapl-Flake. Most of that time is spent in cooking and curing. Then each wheat berry is flaked so thin that the full Tieat of our ovens can attack every atom. Thus the particles are separated so the digestive juices can get to them. That is the reason for flakes. In no other form can wheat be prepared so that it all digests. Ask any food expert. lie will tell you that in our way alone can one give yon all the good in wheat Mapl-Flake is the one perfect food.

By William True Hawthorne. London, September 5. Prohpetic Englishmen see a day in the not distant future when the entire sea shore of the ' tight little island" will be one unbroken line of boulevards, ablaze at nights with electric lights and lined with hotels and cottages. A good part of the coast already has attained this stage of "improvement" and each year sees a few more miles

of natural scenery destroyed. The granite cliffs of Cornwall so far have withstood the advances of the taint of man, but a number of purveyors of shore amusements have eyes upon them and the Cliffs of Cornwall Scenic Railway Is one of the projects that have been discussed. The English are the greatest "holiday making" people in the world and when an Englishman has a holiday his first thought is of the sea shore. There is no place In England from which the shore cannot be quickly and cheaply reached, and the shore is about the only thing England has to offer In the way of outdoor entertainment. But the Englishman is not satisfied with the shore as Nature left it; he wants it parked and wants Coney Island diversions provided. The men who make a business of catering to the wants of holiday makers have got to meet this demand or fall behind the procession. The automobile is another agency that is doing a lot to destroy the beauty of Britain's shores. The well-to-do want to escape the common crowds and the motor will take them where patrons of railroad trains cannot go. The result is the transformation of the formerly wild coasts into resorts for the wealthy, and it is here the boulevard builder is getting in his work. The nobility and a few of the very wealthy are able to afford play grounds in the mountains of Scotland and on the great private estates in the north of England, but there are no accommodations here for the great body of middle and lower class pleasure-seekers, and none will be permitted. It la to the seashore they must look, and within a few years we may expect to see the entire coast of England outlined in elecetric blaze during the summer holiday period. Already possessing the world's greatest navy and with her government considering the possibilities of a half billion dollar loan for the building of other battleships,- Great Britain still dreams of disarmament. England would like to disarm, we are told, but Germany will not, and England is quite peevish at Germany's stubbornness in the matter. It Is said the recent visit of Mr. Lloyd-George to Berlin was for the purpose of trying to induce Germany to take a more friendly attitude toward the limitation of armaments. No announcement has been made as to the success of his mission, but there is no reason to believe he met with encouragement. The German navy act of 1900 provided for a program of naval increase running to 1917. At the Hague conference Germany declined to modify this program, and she is not now likely to do so at the solicitation of England, whom she regards as her most probable enemy in the next war and whose motives always are subject to suspicion at Berlin. England is not likely to get much sympathy from the rest of the world in her present eager desire to reduce military and naval expenditures. The arrogance of England is more largely to blame than any other factor for the present crushing military burden under which European powers are bent. England avowed her determination to haye a navy greater than the combined navies of any two other powers and her enormous wealth for many years made the program possible. But England's material progress did not keep up with her military pace, and soon the tax payers began to cry out under the burden. Then the Liberal party won control of the government by a pledge of old age pensions when there was no revenue with which to pay the One of the EfserrticL nT of the happy homes of to-day is a vast fund of information as to the best methods of promoting health and happiness and right living and knowledge of the world's best products. Products of actual excellence and reasonable claims truthfully presented and which have attained to world-wide acceptance through the approval of the Well-informed of the World; not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting and obtaining the best the world affords.

pensions. Financial difficulties resulted inevitably, and now England wants the other powers to enter an agreement that will enable her to cut down naval expenses and still maintain naval supremacy. The idea is not calculated to appeal strongly nt Paris and Berlin. The search for the mysterious millions of Oom Paul Kruger still goes on. This romance, or fable, of the Boer war has taken a desperate hold on Englishmen. It had its foundation in English avarice. They believed when the captured Kruger and his Transvaal government, that many millions of gold would fall Into their hands. They got a paltry sum. Then came the story that a ship loaded with Kruger's gold had put to sea and been sunk. The latest story is that Kruger sold his bars of gold for a comparatively trifling sum in ready cash, that the purchasers encased the bars in cement and shipped them for Europe on the Dorothea, which went down off Cape Vidal. A captain Gardiner has secured a concession to dive for the treasure. This is about the twentieth wreck to be explored for Kruger's gold but if the wily old leader of the fighting burghers had any such vast sums as are accredited to him, they still elude the grasp of the nation which wrested away the liberties of his people.

Glory, Mrs. William E." Bull's youngest and smallest French poodle, was laid away near Bailey's Beach. It was a sad occasion. All the poodles of the Bull family, and lots of the Bull family's human friends, too, attended and mourned. All the Bull pets were put into deep black mourning again after Glory's death. They had been wearing second mourning lavender bows about their necks for Toto, who died several months ago. die Vturutijran. There are few birds whose plumage Is so variable as the ptarmigan's. Three times In the year its plumage changes. It has separate coats for spring, autumn and "winter. At the beginning of November tt puts on the last costume of the season.

CHICKEN THIEF FOUND AT LAST Proved to Be Large Snake That Stole. York, fa., Sept. 5. For the past five years John F. Arnold, a fanner of York. New Salem, had been aware that he was being preyed upon by a systematic chicken thief, but everything from a man trap to a rat trap was tried without avail. The hondr of making the capture has fallen to Mrs. Arnold, who discovered the marauder, a blacksnake nine feet and two Inches In length and shot it. The reptile is tbe largest of its kind ever known to havt been actually measured In the county. Mrs. Arnold came upon the snake in an unguarded moment,, as It lay beside a fence busily engaged In swallowing a young fowl. Getting her husband's shotgun, she held it close and discharged both barrels, with the desired effect.
