CUBS FOOD

Healthy babies don't cry and the well

babies who cannot take any other food
relish the perfect food Grape Nuts and
get we'll.
My little baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed it had ruined
the childs stomach. One of the doctors
told nc that the only thing to do
would be to try Grape Nuts, 50 1 got

cold water for half an hour and then l
strained off the liquid and mixed l.
teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape
rich milk. put in pinch of salt and

to baby every two hours.
I'm this simple, easy way L saved
babys life ard have built her up to a
strong healthy child rosy and laughing.
The food must certainly be perfect to
have such a wonderful effect as this. l

food in the world to raise delicate

A Rumor That the Colombian Con-
sress Invested the President With
Power to Proceed-Speculation as
to the Next Step.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 22.-When
the state department closed today at
o'clock it was agreed that the PaTla-
ma canal treaty was dead, although
eight hours yet remained within which
the Columbian government might take
affirmative action upon it. Nothing,
however, had been received during the
day, either from Minister Beaupre at
Bogota, or from Mr.. Herran the Colom-
bian charge here, which gave the
slightest hope of a favorable issue.
The report is current here that the
Colombian congress, in secret session.
has clothed President Maroquin with
full power to negotiate a treaty. II
this report should turn out to be true.
President Marroquin, who is counted
friend of the treaty, could proceed
untra mmelled by the fear of a future
reckoning with his congress.
In any event President Roosevelt
must now take the next step. He can
elect to proceed under the Spooner
act and take up the Nicaragua route.
or he can allow the matter to drift for
the present in the hope that q way
may yet be found to straighten out
the present difficulty in the path of

the car wrecked. Officials of the road
say that the safe contained but little

from $500 10 $4,000 in money. Every
thing in the safe was taken and the
men escaped in the darkness with
horses. posse was organized and is
in pursuit OF the bandits. Not a

Despondent Over a Love Affair She
Lies Down Before a Train.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 22.-Despondent
of which may never be known, Miss
Olive Rayl, sister OF DR.. w. l.. Rayl of
Glenville. whose body was found badly
crushed and severed into several pieces
on the Lake Shore tracks in Gordon
park, early today, threw herself in
front of a passing train or lay down
on the tracks to await death. This is
the opinion tonight after an entire day
spent by the entire detective force in
attempting to unravel the uncertain
ties which surround the terrible death
of the young woman.
The belief of the police that she was
not murdered and her body placed on
the track is practically substantial ted
by the coroner and the second physi
clan who performed the autopsy over
the body. neither of whom incline to
the theory of murder.
Notwithstanding their belief that the
case is one of suicide the police are still
working on it and will continue to do
so until further effort i'll that direction
seems to he useless.
Miss Rayl came to this city from
Wellsville, Ohio. some time ago to take
up the work of nursing with her brother.
who is a physician, and entered a
training school for nurses almost i'm
mediately upon her arrival. The only
cause for self-destruction, if the death
of the young woman proves to have
been such, is a disappointment in a
love affair at Wellsville. and this is also
said TO have been the cause for Miss
Rayl's leaving her home city.

London, Sept. 23.-The Balkan situa

According to a dispatch to the Daily

make an arrangement satisfactory to
the Macedonians or obtain from the
great powers promises of neutrality if
it is found impossible to avoid a war.
Apparently both Turkey and Bulgaria
are anxious to repudiate having taken

DENVER'S NEW CHARTER
Badly Beaten by a Combination Of
Opposing Interests.

The advocates of the charter carried
seven wards of the city, the maj1rities
aggregatIrg 2.911. and those opposed
carried nine wards. maiorities against
the charter amounting to 10, I64 votes.
The friends of the charter declare
that unprecedented frauds were COM
mitted in registra ton and at the polls.
This is denied by the other side. There
is no doubt that the strongest pro-
visions regarding franchises and other
privileges of corporations had much to
do with the defeat of the charter. The
liquor interests were also with the
opposition, claiming that the burdens
proposed for their business were much
too heavy. There were also other
powerful interests which labored for
the defeat of the charter. Political
considerations did not enter into the
contest, the convention which framed
the document having been composed of
members of all parties elected upon
one ticket. 1t is stated tonight that a
contest will be filed at once and an
effort made to have the charter de-
clared adopted.
