ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FOOD ECONOMY
Bulk
VS..
Concentration.
Grape-Nuts.
Discussed Below.

The question OF obtaining high grade
food at moderate price, is OF interest to
every housekeeper and provider.
Some food is so bulky that even at q
very low price per pound, the actual food
value is so little that it is really expen-
Sive; on the other hand, there are concen.
trated foods, like, for instance, the famous
breakfast food known as "Grape-Nuts,"
that sell at 5 cents per pound, but yield
in food units so much value that but little
of the food should be used at time, and
in reality, when properly used, the ex-
pense is about one cent per meal.
1t is a common mistake to use too much
OF the food Grape-Nuts. Its taste is crisp,
with the delicate sweet flavor OF grape
sugar, and one is inclined to eat double
the proper quantity. A lady writes from
Indianapolis. Mrs. A. L. Wilson: "We
have been using your Grape-Nuts now for
two or three weeks. cannot tell you
how much J find il has benefittedI ae.
My husband is~a physician and he not
only uses il at each meal, but likes it at
bedtime"
Using the food in this way, some fami-
lies might be impressed with the cost,
but after all, good food, which keeps the
family in prime condition OF health, at
moderate cost, is very much more profita-
BILE, so far as dollars and cents are con-
cerned, than to make use OF low-grade,
bulky foods and from time to time call in
physician to help out.
The use OF "Grape- Nuts" in reasonable
quantity costs one cent per meal, and the
food stands without an equal in point OF
nutrition and value in building up the
neSve centres and tissue of the body. The
crisp, delicate, tweet taste comes from
the grape sugar which is produced by
transformation OF the starch OF tee cereals,
and this grape sugar is prese tel to the
system, ready for immediate assimilation.
Grape-Nuts are sold by all first-class
grocers and made by the Postum Co. at
their factories in Battle Greek, Michigan.

LAWTON's DENIAL.

We are not surprised that Gen. Lawton,
one of our commanders in the Philip
pines. comes forward with a denial Of an
interview published in many papers in
different parts of the country within the
last few days, in which he was quoted as
follows: What we want is to stop this
accursed war. 1t is time for diplomacy
time for mutual understandings. These
men are indomitable. All they want is a
little justice"
The foregoing is a brief extract from the
interview we published on Monday,
because il was stated in an article that
the interview had been obtained from Gen.
Lawton by the Rev. Peter MacQueen, at
the present time in the Philippines, and
was written for a religious publication.
The sentiments attributed to Gen. Lawton
were of a character to excite suspicion,
because he is known as fighter, not a
talker-certainly not a man to criticise
the policy of the government. Still, as the
interview was said to have been writ
ten by a clergyman. and appeared origi-
nally in a reputable paper, it was pub
lshed without comment.
mere Has Detu d lOl Oh STUN sent from
Manila for which there was no founda-
ton in truth, or so little that the truth
was wholly obscured Much of it proba-
bly, was sent under misunderstanding of
the actual condition of affairs, and a
great deal more was sent for the purpose
of creating a wrong impression in this
country.
1t seems that the war department didn't
ask Gen. Lawton for an explanation, the
head of that department not having seen
the interview. Hence the denial of Gen
Lawton, when it reached the war depart
ment, was not at once understood. A
friend must have cabed him that he was
being put in a position he couldn't afford
to occupy by some one in Manila, hence
his denial.
A censorship is of course objectional, be-
cause the party acting as censor does not,
as a rule, know what is news, or what
is harmful and what is not, but there
ought TO be some way to prevent ire
sponsible persons from getting into the
public prints articles which mislead the
public, and which do serious injustice to
the men who are leading the American
army and managing the nations affairs
abroad
