A UNIVERSAL FOOD.
Following Nature,s Footsteps.

" have boy two years old, weigh
ing forty pounds and in perfect health
who has been raised on Grape-Nuts
and milk.
This is an ideal food and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for a
baby as we'll as for adults. We have
used GrapeNuts in large quantities
and greatly to our advantage" F. W.
Leavitt, Minneapolis Mimi
One advantage about Grape-Nuts
Food is that it is pre-digested in the
process of manufacture; that is, the
starch contained in the wheat and
barley is transformed into grape sugar
in exactly the same method as this
process is carried out in the human
body, that is by the use of moisture
and long exposure to moderate warmth
which grows the diastase in the grains
and makes the remarkable change
from starch TO grape sugar There
fore, the most f.elicate stomach can
handle Grape-f'uts and the food is
quickly absorbed into the blood and
tissue, certain parts of it going directly
to building md nourishing the brain
and nerve centers.

Preparations made up to recent date
looked to the quartering of the Ameri-

this expectation has been entirely aban-

the final purchases and preparations
are suspended for the present, as
though there were considerable prob
ability that they would not have to be
made at all. The War Department has
as yet given no definite statement on
this subject, but the suspension of OPP

Department from Consul Fowler, at

mission as to be almost undecipherable.
The cipher experts of the department
worked on it last night and to-day.
So far as made out. the despatch zap
pears to contain a message from Minis
ter Conger transmitted to Cheefeo by
courier. The gist of the Conger mes
sage contained in the cablegram is
that the situation in Pekin is more
critical and that the Chinese govern
ment is endeavoring TO force the minis
tiers to leave the imperial city under
Chinese escort before the arrival OF the
relief column. Beyond this point, the
