He forced through the State Assembly a bill granting a franchise to his Niagara Power Company, that is estimated to be worth at least $5,000,000. ‘This bill passed in March a year ago. In Vorious Schemes, ‘Two years ago, while the Tammany administration was in power, a local newspaper accused the Senator's fire escape company of having influenced certain ‘Tammany office-holders to fa- vor its wares.

Senator Hill came to New York pur posely to argue with the Cortproller that {t would not be consistent with his party standing to run against a Dem- ocratic ticket in the year preceding a national campaign. ‘These arguments ewre lost upon the Comptroller, although he felt some of the force of them, It 1s likely that they migit have influenced him to decline the renomination had not the Mayor expressed a desire in his letter to the Fusion conference committee to have the Conqurollor make the race with him again, Senator Hill came to New York last Tuesday. He had an appointnent wi Mir. Grout and mot Aim at tue toftms House. Mr. Grout admbted gl this to- day, but refused to tell what happened at the conference. It is known that Senator Hill tried to make Mr. Grout see that the municipal campaign this yeur should be conducted on strict party lines, and that as a Vemocrat he should not render aid to the enemy. Mr. Grout sald that his party standing was not questioned when he ran on the fusion ticket two years ago in ayear preceding @ State election and he could not see tne ditterence, ‘The Senator was so persistent and plausible that Mr. Grout finally said he His decision was contained in the letter which he sent to Mr. R.

The physician said he would have to have proper nourishment or he would die, and he was certainly getting weaker all the time. . “We had been using Grape-Nuts food in our family, so concluded to try it on the baby. To my surprise and delight he relished it, and from that time it became apparent that he was gaining in strength. In a re- markably short time baby had recov- ered his health, and by the time he was 20 months old he was completely cured of all trouble. He is now over 4 years old and in the last two years has used Grape-Nuts steadily as a part of his diet, and, as a result of have a boy rosier and stronger than the average 4-year-old boy and in perfect health. ‘He is the youngest in a class of 20 at his kindergarten, and in his games and memory work he excels them all.
