-China's debt to foreign countries
is $500, ,oOO, 900 and most of the money
was borrowed in recent years to pay
for a modern armament. The sale of
guns and munitions to half civilized

costly business.

From cover to cover the contents
of Everybody's Magazine for Septem-
Der are the most interesting of any
issue of that remarkable periodical
yet published. In praise of the cover
itself too much cannot be said of the
beauty of its design, which is not on
ly effective but quite original, the
march of Improvement in the process
of printing is nowhere better shown
, than in this specimen of multi-color
work. A new short story by s. R.
Crockett entitled "a Scientific Sym
postum" is written in his peculiarly
delightful manner.

THE CROP REPORT
 CAUSED X PANIC
There Was a Wild Dash in Cot ton Market to Cover
 Short Contracts.

New York, August 10.-The August re- port from Washington respecting the con- dition of the cotton crop produced almost a panic among the representatives on the cotton exchange today. For a long period they had been operating on the theory that the crop situation was of a high aver age, ignoring contradictory advices. At noon the official report was announced. It showed the average condition of the crop to be 76 per cent against S6 per cent in August last year. This was worse than the most daring bull had presumed to hint at. There was a wild dash to cover short contracts. There was enormous buying also by class of traders which had been waiting for some such report to throw con- sternation in the ranks of the shorts and justify a bull campaign. Everything of fered was taken and the market advanced by rapid leaps so that within a few min utes after the announcement of the re- port prices were 20 points above the clos ing of yesterday. Still later business in creased the advance to "A to 29 points. It is estimated that the transactions in cot ton futures today did not fall far from a million bales or about up to the maxium record

PASTY FOOD
Too Commonly Used

The use of pasty cereals is not advisable. A physician says: Tasty cereals are very indigestible and bad thing for the stom- ach, causing a depressed feeling and quite 2 train of disorders, particularly of the in testines and nerves.
 Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can be cooked long enough and well enough to fit them for human use, but the ordinary way ot cooking leaves them in pasty cond- tion."
 A gentleman from Evansville, Ind, whose name can be secured upon application to the Postum Cereal Co.,. Ltd, Battle Creek Mich, says: My physician prohibited the use of oats and wheat, for I was in bad condition physically, with pronounced dys- pepsia. He said the heavy paste was in- Gigestible, but Grape-Nuts, being a thor oughly cooked food, and cooked in such a manner as to change the starch into grape sugar, could be easily digested 1 have become very fond indeed of Grape Nuts and all the uncomfortable feelings have disappeared. I have gained nearly twelve pounds in weight and have none of the distressed, full feeling after my meals that I had formerly. Grapefruit Food has done the work"

TEXAS DEMOCRATS COMPLETE TICKET The Bailey Faction Won a Con-
 pIete Victory ON THE OIL COMPANY PLANK Nomination of State Officers Was in Nearly Every Instance by Accla-
 nation, Only Contest Being
 Railroad Commissioner
ON THE OIL COMPANY PLANK

Waco, Tex, August 10.-The Democratic State Convention, after d two days ses- sion, this afternoon nominated a full State ticket and adjourned sine die. The ticket is as follows:
 Governor-Joseph D. Savers.
 Lieutenant Governor-J. N. Browning.
 Attorney General-Thomas s. Smith.
 Land Commissioner-Charles Regan.
 Comptroller-R. M Love.
 Superintendent of Public Instruction-J. s. Kendall.
 Chief Justice Supreme Court-R. s. Gaines.
 Associate Justices A. L. Williams and John N. Henderson.
 Treasurer-John w. Robbins
 Railroad Commissioner-L. J. Storer.
 The convention has been one of the most interesting political gatherings that has assembled in Texas for years. Charges and counter charges have been freely made and one of the knotty questions be- fore the resolutions committee was the plank endorsing the State administration for issuing a charter to the Water-Pierce oil Company after the company had been convicted of violating the antitrust law. Hon. Joseph W. Bailey and Attorney General led the fight for the insertion Of the plank, while ex-Governor Hogg and others vigorously opposed it. The result was complete victory for MT Bailey and the State administration. The platform endorses the Kansas City resolutions as a whole, and congratulates the Democracy of the country upon the selection of Bry- an and Stevenson as its standard bearers.
 The nomination of State officers was in nearly every instance by exclamation, the only contest of interest being that for rail- road commissioner between L. J. Storer, the present incumbent, and E. PLCurtis. The vote resulted in the nomination of MT Storer the first ballot-599 to 342.
 James Wells was elected chairman of the executive committee for the ensuing four years.
