What DoThe Children DRINK

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have yon
tried the new food drink called GRAIN. G?
1t is delicious and nonrishng and takes the
place of coffee. The more Grain-O you
give the children the more health you dis
tribute through their systehs. 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. 15c and 25c.

partment had its eye upon possible coal

Gated i'm the foregoing dispatch Before

had no less than three coaling stations
on that coast. They were practically

by the correspondent of the Associated

1t IS also asserted in government circles
that the British right Of search is cues

tend To fight for the Beers or not, IS
streruous.y disputed. as the vessel upon
which they were is neutcal. and the terri

Redress, it is asserted, will be in

dennis British action in the Bundles

as an instance of gross ;nsolence and
as calculated again to illustrate the
need of a powerful German navy to
render such overbearance on the part
of England impossible in the fu-

that England had no right 70 interfere

hope that she has not adopted a flexible

Director Ponsonby
Says About It.

London. December 29.--It has been learn
ed by representative Of the Associated
Press that the United States cruiser
Montgomery's visit to Liberia Is appar-
entity the result Of overiures made to
Washington by that republic. Though
the British government is i'm complete
ignorance of the purpose OF the Mont
gomery's commission. the establishment
of coaling station in Liberia by the
United States IS regarded as scarcely
probable, as. II is asserted, no Liberian
port has any facilities for coaling. all
of them being open and slIrfbound.
The Associated Press representative
learns. however that far more impor-
tant step is under consideration. 1t con-
sists I'm joint request of the United
States and Great Britain upon France
to define the boundary between the ter
ritory she claims and that claimed by
Liberia This step is not yet decided
upon. but Great Britain only awaits the
United States assent TO become party
to such a request.
1t Is alleged that France for many
years has been encroaching on LIBERIA
and II was only by a strenuous protest
of the United States that she was pre-
vented from appropriatlng a large shce
of Liberia IN 1892.
