HOME RULE FOR PORTO RICO.
Cabinet Has Agreed Upon n Tempo
rary Form of Civil Gov
ernment,

WASHINGTON. Sept 12.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was occupied in the dis
cussion of a form OF civil government for
Porto Rico. This matter has been under
serious consideration ever since Secretary
Root took his place as secretary of war,
and the indications now are that some form
of local government will be decided upon
ana put into operation within the next few
weeks at the latest. The details of the
proposed plan have not yet been made
public, but it is understood that it involves
the appointment of civil governor by the
president, ard also the appointment of the
chiefs of the several great departments of
the government, which would include a
chief of the financial department, direct
or of posts and probably two or three 9TH
ers. In addition, the president will ap-
point from the leading citizens of the ISL
and n certain number to act in a legislat-
i've capacity with the civil governor and
the members of his council. These will be
authorized to recommend any changes that
may be thought necessary in the existing
laws, and to suggest such others as in
their judgment may be deemed best 1t is
not intended that this form of government
shall continue beyond the time congress
may see fit to legislate on the subject, but
It Is the purpose of the president to give
the Porto RicanS some voice In their own
government pending such action.
Although the governor general and the
| members of his council will exercise gen.
eral supervision over the enforcement of
any laws that may receive the approval of
the president, those relating to municipal
matters will be left largely in the hands
of the people of Porto Rico They will be
permitted to administer their own affairs,
subject always to the veto power of the
governor general and finally of the presi-
dent: All of the details of the plan have
not been worked out, but 1t is the purpose
of the president to give the people of Por-
to Rico as soon as may be the fullest meas
ure of home rule that is considered con-
sistent, with perfect safety to life and
property.

Discussed Below.

The question of obtaining high grade
food at a moderate price is of interest to
every housekeeper and provider.
Some food is so bulky that even at n
value is so little that 1t Is really expensive;
on the other hand. there are concentrated
foods, like. for instance, the famous break
fast food known as "Grape-Nuts," that sell
at u cents per pound but yield in food
units so much value that but little of the
food should be used at time, and in re-
ality, when properly used, the expense 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. lady writes from In
dianapolis, Mrs. A. l.. Wilson: I'VE have
been using your Grape-Nuts now for two
or three weeks. | cannot tell you how
much 1 find 1t has benefited me. My hus-
band is q physician. and he not ONLY uses
it at each meal, but likes 1t 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 a moder-
ate cost, is very much more profitable. so
far as dollars and cents are concerned 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 nerve
centers and tissue of the body. The crisp.
delicate, sweet taste comes from the Crane
sugar which is produced by transformation
of the starch of the cereals, and this Crane
sugar is presented 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

On one occasion an itlnerant
Snowman visited that cOun-

keys which he had taught to
do various tricks. Among
those who saw the monkeys
was a cotton planter and the
idea suggested itself to him
that the monkeys might be
utilized in picking cotton. tie
got some and tried the plan
with such success that ne now
