CUBAN REGIsTRATION.
White Republicans Seem to Have
Best of Situation.

Santiago de Cuba, May Yesterday
was the last day for registration for
the municipal elections in June. Gov
ernor General Woods order of yester-
day that an American officer should be
present at each registration office
throughout the entire day to receive
protests caused much excitement, the
politicians claiming that it was another
case of American interference.
The order provided that the military
commander should act as judge in case
of protests, and that such applications
as he considered just should be allowed,
the applicants to be enrolled upon the
voting lists later.
As a result there were thousands of
protests. The Nationalist assert that
the registration boards have discrimi-
mated against them. The Republicans,
who control the situation, reply that
they have only followed the election or
der literally.
There seems to be no doubt of the
success of the white Republican party,
Notwithstanding the overwhelming ma
jOrity of the Nationalists.i

THINK sOP
The Minister'S Wife Was Right.

When a baby's life can be saved by
food it is worth while knowing some
thing of that food.
A minister's wife, name given below
writes: Il do not exaggerate in the least
when I say that have never yet seen
picture Of the starving babies of IN
Ola that looked as bad as our baby did
The skin was drawn as tightly as posi-
bic over her little frame, and was almost
black. Her little form was so shrunken
that 1t was pitiable to look at. Her
bright eyes only showed that she was
alive.
She was starving to death. for every
thing she ate was Immediately thrown or
from her stomach. We tried every kind
Of food we could think Of and only kept
her alive by rubbing olive and cod liver
oil into the pores of the skin.
The doctor was doing all he could, but
finally we sent for an uncle. an old ply
sician, to come and see her. The doc
tors agreed perfectly, but uncle advised
US to use Grape-Nuts Food.
We Immediately got some and placed
a spoonful in some boiling water This
was allowed to simmer until the food be-
came perfectly soft. little rich milk
was added, and just enough sugar to
sweeten. 1t made a delicious food, and
1t was astonishing how perfectly it
agreed with our baby and how she did
lick it down.
She would not drink milk unless it
had Grape Nuts Food in it thereafter
After a few days she began to show
marks of improvement. then she i'm
proved very rapidly. When we began
feeding her Grape-Nuts she weighed
about 10 pounds, now she weighs over
80. and is almost as broad as she is long.
Our friends all think it a miracle that
she recovered. While am writing this
letter, one of my older girls has just
inc IN MS
and cream.
We naturally believe in Grape-Nuts
for it has saved the life OF our baby

the strong rushing current of air
through the entrance. Several hundred
feet below the surface level is reached
from which miles OF arched avenues
radiate in every direction, embracing a
succession Of imposing chambers. The
ceilings are pendant with gems of
Stalactite formation, while around the
walls in inches carved out by the action
OF the water, are specimens OF deity
wrought Statuary. fragile foliage, chaste
columns of the most elaborate architec-
ture and forms resembling birds and
animals. Vandals have been RESPONSE
ble for much injury to the beauties of
the place. The withdrawal over a year
ago was designed to prevent a recur-
renee OF this evil in the future.
