What do the Children Drink?

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourish-
ing and takes the place of COTE. The
more Grain-O you give the children the
more health you distribute through their
systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains
and when properly prepared tastes like
the choice grades of coffee but costs
about u as much. All grocers sell it..
Is and Is cents.

That Kruger's Secretary of State Has

Secretary Says That He viii Start on
New Line.
Pretoria, Sept. 26.-The imperial dis
patch was read yesterday in the volks-
raad. President Kruger announced
that the reply of the government Of
the South African Republic would be
presented to the vOlllsraad today.
London, Sept. 2G-The officials Of
the foreign office last evening gave out
the text of the letter of the secretary
Of state for the colonies to the British
high commissioner in South Africa, Sir
Alfred Miner, dated Sept %. The
British reply expresses regret that her
majeSty's offer, No. ), Of Sept. s, had
been refused, and says:
Chamberlain Tells What He Wants.
'"The object her majesty's govern
mert had in view in the recent nego-
tiatiOns has been stated in a manner
sion, viz: TO obtain such substantial
and immediate representation for the
OUtlanderS as will enable them to Sc
cure for themselves that fair and just
treatment which was formally prom
Used them in 1881, and which her ma
jeSty intended to secure for them when
she granted privileges of self-govern-
ment to the Transvaal. No conditions
less comprehensive than those con-
tanned in the telegram of Sept. can
be relied on to effect this object.
Will Make Some Fresh Proposals.
'"The refusal of the South African
government to entertain the offer thus
made, coming as it does after four
months of prOtracted negotiations,
themselves the climax of five years of
extended agitation, makes it useless
to further pursue the discussion on the
lines hitherto followed, and the i'm
perial government is now compelled to
consider the situation afresh and
formulate their own proposals for Il
final settlement of the issues which
have been created in South Africa by
the policy constantly followed for
many years by the government Of
South Africa. They will communicate
the result Of their deliberations in a
later diSDatch"

CHARGES RE1Tz WITH FALsEHooD.
And with Making Proposals He Knew
Would Be Rejected.

In later communication, dated
Sept. %, the imperial government
takes up the charge of breach of faith
insinuated by Secretary of State Reitz,
Sept. 16, (which we cannot pass over
in silence" Chamberlain then says:
''The proposals made by the South
African Republic in it's letter of Aug
10 and 20 were not induced by sug-
gCStiOnS given by the British agent
from the state attorney, as claimed
On the contrary, the state attorney
sounded the British agent, both in
writing and in conversation, as to the
conditions to & joint inquiry, and the
result Of these Communications was
the proposals made by the South
African government in these letters.
1T is impossible that the South
African government could have had
any doubt as to the imperial govern
ment'S answer to the conditions
named, and my reply was actually the
same as the British agent had fore
Swallowed to the state attorney, and
which, therefore, the South African
government must have anticipated in
making the proposals. The imperial
government also denies that it's tele-
gram of Sept. 8 substituted an entirely
new proposal for the invitation to the
joint commission of inquiry"
Chamberlain then quotes the dis
patch from South Africa of Aug. 10
containing an alternative proposal
identical with that which the imperial
government is said to have substi-
tuted, and the communication then
proceeds as follows: 1.-The imperial
government sees no ground for mis-
apprehension on the part of the South
African Republic as to it's answer re-
garding nOn-interference and suzer-
ainty. as the imperial government had
already stated that it would not press
for the appointment of a joint COM
mission of inquiry, in view of the fact
that such an inquiry would. in the
opinion of the government of the South
African Republic, prejudice the right
of full independence repeatedly recog-
nized by the imperial government
"As to the use of the English Ian
guage in the vOlksraad, the imperial
government regards this as reasonable
and is astOniShed that the government
of the South African Republic should
deem it unnecessary and make a point
of denying that the government of the
South African Republic ever proposed
the same to the British agent"
