GRAPE-NUTS.
4 New and Highly Nutritious Food.


The odd sounding name is used to
designate peculiar food. made not
exactly in the shape of nuts, but hav-
ing a pleasant, nutty flavor, and crisp
brttlencss that makes them charm
ing favorite with the palate.
OF yet more value than the taste is
the food value of Grape-Nuts. They
are largely composed of grape-sugar,
tyour dictionary can tell YOU about
that and those who use them will
find the morning meal has not only
been pleasant, but has been quickly
and easily digestcd: for mrape-sugar
is an article produced in the human
body al one stage of the digestion of
food, and is at once ready for trans
formation into good healthy blood and
nourishment.
1t should not he understood that tho
grapc-sngar. Of which Grapc-Nuts i.
made. has been produced in the hui
man body. But this grape-sugar is
made by much the same process a,
the bod Y employs. and is produced bv
natural treatment of grains without
any foreign substance whatever. II
is made by tn. Postum company at
Battle Creek, Mich. The result i,
perhaps the most highly nutritious
food ever produced.
Grocers keep Grapc-Nuts.

THE BISHOP AND THE WAR,
Roman Catholic Prelate o; This Diocese
Talks With WOodsord.

%
Bishop >palGin@. of the Roman
Catholic diocese Of Peoria. which en-
braces this city, Was IN Bloomington
the other day and was interviewed by
the Paragraph on the war.
The bishop said he hoped the war
would soon be brought TO a close.
lie thought the Spanish nation ought
to realize that the Americans would
continue to be victorious. and it WAS
a needless sacrifice of human life to
continue the struggle. He said that
the time was not far distant when
the force of arms would cease to he Il
means of settling disputes between
nations. War, he said. was terrible
thing and ought to be avoided at all
times by civilized people. The
present struggle he looked upon as
shortlived. and said that the fall of
Santiago should bring the war to an
end. Bishop Spaldine believed that
diplomacy was lacking somewhere.
or the struggle would never have
been precipitated. He said in return
| ing from the old country SOON after
war had been declared. he was on
the same ship that carried Nh Wood
ford, our minister to Spain, TO this
country. The bishop said that IN a
conversation with the minister on
board the ship Mr.. Woodford cy-
pressed the opinion that II diplomatic
relations had been carried on with 4.
little more skill the war question
could have been peaceably settled
within SO days.
Bishop Spalding stated that he was
contemplating another trip to foreign
lands for the purpose OF calling on
Pope Leo Mi. who has expressed a
desire a number of times of late wears
to see the learned bishop of the Peoria
diocese. Bishop Spa!ding made trip
through the old world not long ago
for the purpose of getting rest and
recreation from his continuous labors.
When he was about ready to return
home. III response to an urgent call
Pope Leo sent for the bishop, but the
latter was unable to pro!ong his visit.
Rev. Tuohey, of Lincoln, called on
the pope, and the latter told the Lin
coin divine of his desire to see Bishop
Spa!din". The latter has not decided
on the time OF his visit, but it Will
probably lac in the fall.
