TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL
CITES HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY
At AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Sentiment In the Senate Is In Favor
of the House Measure Allowing
American Ships to Pass Through '
Canal Without Charge
Washington — Lines were drawn Fri-
day for a great diplomatic struggle be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain over the question of whether
this country may discriminate in favor
of American vessels in the administra-
tion of the Panama canal The wordy
war may terminate in the submission
of the question to the Hague tribunal
A series of diplomatic and legisla-
tive conferences developed that forces
in the American govrnment which fa-
vor allowing Amrican shlpB free pass-
age through the canal are in control
These forces take the position that
there Is nothing in the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty to prevent tls concession
The diplomatic trouble precipitated
by a note received was from Mitchell
Innes charge of the British embassy
it is expected will be fought along the
following lines:
Great Britain will take the position
that the Hay-Paunoefote treaty pro-
vision which forbids discrimination in
favor of the interests of any nation
lntbe conduct of the canal would
operate against the provisions of the
Panama bill now under consideration
In the senate This position will be sup-
ported by a lengthy argument now on
its way from London by mall which
will be presented to the state depart-
ment and transmitted to congress im-
mediately upon its arrival
The United States will hold that as
long as the ships of all foreign nations
are accorded the same treatment the
United States may pass American
ships free or rebate the tolls charged
them This position was taken by the
house when it reversed the report of
PRINCE KALANIANA0LE
Kalanianaole the delegate In con-
gress from Hawaii who is popularly
known as “Prince Cupid”
the house interstate and foreign com-
merce committee which would have
prevented free passage to American
ships and passed the bill
After conference with President
Taft Representative Sulzer of New
York chairman of the house commit-
tee on foreign affairs made a state-
ment supporting the bill He said:
“Of course I am surprised that the
British government now objects to the
United States government regulating
the tolls of its own ships through the
Panama canal However nothing seri-
ous will come of the objection We will
treat It with the dignity it deserves
The treaty is plain and clear to all
The British government should not
and cannot complain if no toll dis-
crimination is made against their
shops in favor of the shops of other
nations

THE CHARLES E HIRES CO
MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis
Only four states Mississippi Ne-
vada Utah and Wyoming have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives Eight years
ago' when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubertu-
losls was organized there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rium provision for consumptives exist-
ed and the entire number of beds In
the United States was only 10000
“While these figures would Indicate
a remarkable growth In antl-tubercu-losls
activity” says Dr Livingston
Farrand executive secretary of the
National ascoclatlon in commenting
on the subject "there are still prac-
tically ten Indigent consumptives for -every
one of the 30000 beds Including
those for pay patients In other words
we have from 250000 to 300000 con
sumptlves In this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves
If tuberculosis Is wver going to be
stamped out In the United States
more hospital provision for these fool
of Infection must be provided”
The candidate for office who "also
ran” has to explain to his 'friends how
it happened
The manufacturer of artificial feet
is responsible for many a false step
GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves
Lying awake nights makes lt hard
to keep awake and do things' in day
time To take “tonlfes and Btimulants”
under such circumstances is like set-
ting the house on fire to see if you
can put It out
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day
A lady changed from her old way of
eating Grape-Nuts and says:
"For about three years I had been
a great sufferer from indigestion
After trying several kinds of medicine
the doctor would ask me to drop oil
potatoes then meat and so on but In
a few days that craving gnawing feel-
ing would start up and I would vomit
everything I ate and drank
"When I started on Grape-Nuts vom-
iting stopped and tho bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely
“My mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing tha
Grape-Nuts because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food
Since using Grape-Nuts food she la
well and Bays she don’t think aha
could do without It
"It is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder for I can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper of
Grape-Nuts as In tho old days when I
could not realize what they meant by
a ’bad Btomach’ There Is no modi-
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as a good nlght'B sleep such as you
enn enjoy after eating Grape-NutB”
