DOCTORS PROPHECY.
About Grape Nuts.

DR.. J. II. Hanaford. one Of the oldest ply
sicians in Reading, Mass, says In the Prac-
ticsl Age: II firmly believe that Mr.. Post
has rendered a greater service to humanity
than any other man living, In the matter
OF food.
He claims, with propriety. think. that
his new food. Grape-Nuts. made from the
most nourishing elements of the grains.
contains nourishment in one pound equal
to ten of meat. wheat. oats OF bread.
From the acquaintance that have had
with this unusually nutritious article. I an,
satisfied the statement is truthful and
demenstrable. / am inclined to believe the
food will effect considerable of reyoiu-
tion in society. to the extent that II is IN
troduced.''
This was written by DR.. Hannaford sew
eral months ago. The rapid spread OF the
use of Grape-Nuts all over the country has
demonstrated that the doctors prophecy
has already come true. to An extent, at
least. Perhaps never before in the history
Of food manufacture has such rapid prog
ress been made as with Grape-NutA II

DELEGATE FLYNN'S FUTURE
Anxious Politicians Want to Know

REPt BIiC SPECIAL.
Guthrie. Okla. Feb. Ga late story
that Delegate Dennis T. Flynn has de-
clared irrevocably that ha will not be a
candidate for denomination is not regard
ed as final by his close friends in Oklahoma
Governor Ferguson said to-day:
In spite of all this talk. my candid
opinion is that Flynn will he the nominee
of the next Republican convention
Considerable impatience is shown over
Flynn's procrastination. His supporters
cannot proceed with plans for nominating
another man until it is known positively
that he will not make the race. and party
leaders are beset daily with inquiries as to
what will be done.
Should Flynn decline to make the race
in all probability, Walter Stevens of Law
ton and 3. S. Mcclure of Pawnee will seek
the honor. Both have strong support at
this time among Flynn's most ardent ad-
nnirers.
