THIS A MODERN

From the Brooklyn Eagle.


Thirty years of terrible warfare be-

bush. assassination and rapine. During
all that long period the bulldog Dutch
have hung to the throat of the Acheen

The Acheen rebellion has ended.
Dispatches from the Dutch colony.
via Brussels, bring the news. Pangli-
ma Pollen and Rajah Keumala, the
last of the great native leaders, are
negotiating with the governor general
of Sumatra for peace. They are will
ing to "come in" and bring their fol-
lowers with them. At their nod, bands
Of fierce, cunning and brave Acheen
warriors will lower the green flag of
Mohammed and cease the red fool fury
of religious and racial warfare. They
will turn their Martins, Krag-Jorgen-
sens and Remingtons into reaping
hooks and railroad iron. And now
the thrifty, penny wise and pound
foolish Dutch can cultivate the planta-
lions that yield rs per cent dividends
on their investments, in peace and
comfort.
1t has cost s100,000,000 and thirty
years of valuable time, to say nothing
of scores of thousands of the best
young lives of the Netherlands, to con-
auer a territory about the size of
West Virginia. The prize is a ire
mendous one, for the land of the
Achinese is rich with gold, and con-
tains some of the finest districts for
raising coffees, spices and tobacco
that exist in the world. The cry of

EVERYTHING


How often the kind of food eaten
determines a question of future
health and happiness or even life or
death.
Our little girl when but five weeks
old had to undergo a very severe ope-
ration which left her unable to take
her nourishment in the natural way,
that is by nursing, and of course she
had to be fed. She was naturally frail
and the food did not help her. At the
age of IL weeks she was subject to a
second operation and from that time
she continued to grow thinner and
weaker until she was but mere
shadow" so writes lady of Ohio.
I'VE tried many kinds of infant foods
and then the doctor directed us to try
Grape Nuts. We did so and at the
end of the first week noticed an i'm
provement, and after that she began
to improve rapidly. AS we continued
to give her Grape-Nuts she kept gain
ing until she is now more than two
years old and strong and healthy. Her
main food has always been Grape
Nuts and to Grape-Nuts she owes her
life. Naturally we are firm friends Of
the food and never lose an oppor-
tunity to speak a good word for 1t.

While the grand jury will not APP

loophole left through which the loan
agents may escape.

Macon, Nov. GA pleasing after
math of the State Fair was the pre-

Few men worked harder to make

to buy a magnificent gold watch and
chain had been obtained. The pre-

those making it until the watch could
be suitably engraved.

the presentation and this he did be-

ing Man.
Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 6.-"No new de-
velopments; deny emphatically all ru-
mors; my son is yet missing, and there
is no clue to his whereabouts" was
what DR.. ]. S. Wentz, father of Ed
ward L. Wentz, who disappeared from
the mountains near Big Stone Gap four
weeks ago last Wednesday, said when
asked for a statement tonight.
DR.. and Mrs. Wentz arrived in Bris-
toll to-day over the Virginia and South
western Railroad from Big Stone Gap,
where they have been since few days
after the mysterious disappearance of
their son. They were en- route to their
home in Philadelphia and left here to-
night ON the veStibule train.
Reports that the family of the miss
ing man had received postal card
from the alleged kidnappers of young
Wentz were exploded by the fact that
the father and mother were leaving for
their homes. The rumors current that
the kidnappers were holding the young
man until q ransom of 5000, 900 was paid
them, are most emphatically denied,
not only by the father. but by others
closely allied with the Virginia Iron
and Coal Company, AMI the Stonega
Coke and Coal Company, with which
the missing man held large interest.
