GRAPE.NUTs.
AS EASY
Needs Only . Little Thinking.

The food OF childhood often decides
whether one Is to grow up well nourished
and healthy or weak and sickly from i'm
proper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the other
provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver Doctor
who knew about food can accomplish
wonders, provided the patient is willing
to help and will eat only proper food.
Speaking Of this case. the Mother said
her little four year old boy was suffering
from peculiar arrangement OF the stomach,
liver and kidneys, and his feet became 80
swollen he couldn't take a step. We
called Doctor who said at once we must
be very careful as to his diet as improper
food was the only cause of his sickness.
Sugar especially, he forbid
so the DR.. made up diet. and the prin-
cipal food he prescribed was Grape-N Nuts,
things, took the Grape-Nuts readily with
that the sweet In Grape-Nuts is not at all
like cane or beet sugar but is the natural
sweet Of the grains)
we saw big improvement inside a few
days, and now Grape-Nuts are almost
his only food. and he Is once more healthy
happy, rosy checked youngster with every
prospect to grow up into strong healthy
man. Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek, Mich.
The sweet In Grape-Nuts is the Nature
sweet known as Post Sugar. not digested
In the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre-
digested. Feed the youngsters handful
Of Grape Nuts when Nature demands sweet
and prompts them to call for sugar.
There's q reason.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT IN NEBRASKA
One Faction Wants to Carry the State for

One Faction Wants to Carry the State for
Parker; the Other for Bryan for senator.
OMAHA, Aug. 27-"Shall we carry Ne
braska for Parker and let Bryan and his
Senatorial ambition 60. or shall we carry
the State Legislature andeleot Bryan United
States Senator and let Nebraska 20 into
the Republican ranks?' is a question on
which the Nebraska Democrats have split,
with the result that they will probably
lose both the Legislature and the Presiden-
tial electors
The reorganizing element, which was
opposed to Bryan before the national con-
vention, are in favor OF making a strenu-
GUS effort to land the Presidential vote,
regardless Of the State and legislative candl-
dates, while Bryan, backed by his large
following, and the Populists are making the
efforts OF their lives to carry the Legislature,
which will make Bryan a Senator. Both
sides are pulling their best, and the result
Is that the breach In the party Is growing
wider daily.
The Jacksonian Club Of Omaha. famous
as the discoveier Of Bryan, is tonight
forming the Parker and Davis League of
Nebraska" and will lead the campaign to
carry the State for Parker, letting Bryan
and his wing look out for themselves, while
the Populist leaders as we'll az the Bryan
sympathizers are making plans to exchange
Presidential votes for votes for legislative
candidates.

the exposire Of 102 feet Of wire was able
to transmit messages easily over 100 miles,
but was unable to get reply from any
point beyond go miles This was due to
weak points of the land station, which was
nearly 100 feet above the sea level, causing
a difficulty in making ground contact by
the operator ashore. This was soon over

Then, with an exposure of only 90 feet on

Senator Charles W. Fairbanks OF In

day on his way to begin a speaking tour
in Vermont and Maine While he was
here Senator Fairbanks had a conference
with Chairman Cortelyou Of the Republican
national committee and Senator Scott.
the head OF the committees bureau Of
speakers.
Neither OF the three would answer any
inquiries as to the matters which had been
discussed. When he was seen later at the
Manhattan Hotel Senator Fairbanks re-
fused to talk about the Republican situa-
ton. All he would permit himself to say
was that the outlook in Indiana was emf
pently satisfactory to the Republicans Of
that State, despite Mr.. Taggart's asser-
tions that the State would go for Judge
Parker.
Mr.. Fairbanks said that the fact that he
had been selected to open the campaign in
Vermont and Maine was not to be taken
as an indication that the Republican lead
ers had any misgivings as to the result OF
the election in those States.
-Four years ago l opened the campaign
in those States, he said, "and i suppose
it was regarded as only natural that should
repeat what / did in the last campaign.
Just at present am not talking about
the Republican prospects, In fact l am
anxious TO get information myself, and
the attitude l am taking now is the one
taught by the old adage. let thine ears be
attentive to the voice.
The Senator asked as to the conditions
In this State. He was particularly anxious
to know how business was In this part Of
the country.
Senator Fairbanks left for Boston at
midnight. Tomorrow he will speak at
White River Junction, Vt. and on Sept.
he will speak at Marion Kan.. and on
Sept. at Kansas City. Then he will jump
back to Maine and make addresses in
Bath and Lewiston on Sept. 9. On the
following day he will deliver speech at
Rockland, Me.
So far he has been scheduled to speak
only twice In this stat. He will make an
address at Saratoga on Sept IA, on the
occasion of the tftieth anniversary cele-
bration of the birth of the Republican party,
and he will appear at Elmira on Sept. is.
On Sept. II he and Senator Foraker will

MUNITIONS FOR JAPAN?
BELIEF in Bridgeport That Large Purchases
Are Being Made There.


BRIDGEPORT. Conn. Aug. 27.-There are
sumors here of secret expedition to Japan,
with field artillery and ammunition, said to
have been purchased through japanese
war emissaries from the Union Metallic
Cartridge Company and the American and
British Manufacturing Company of this
city.
Viscount Yataro Mishima and Shire
Tsuda, who represent themselves as agents
OF Japan, came here to-day from Fitchburg.
Mass, where, it was reported, they
have purchased shrapnel shell from the
Putnam Machine Company OF that place.
Viscount Mishima came here a week ago
and spent some time in the company Of
Charles L. Gulick, manager Of the American
and British Manufacturing Company, max
ers OF guns, cannon and other implements
Of warfare.
The New Haven railroad has placed an
embargo on freight of all kinds for Japan
and other Asiaic ports. Therefore If the
Japanese agents did procure munitions of
war, shipment on a specially chartered
vessel would be necessary to get them to
the seat Of war.
The factories of the Union Metallic Cart
ridge Company and the American and
British Manufacturing Company are work.
ing overtime on orders. 1t Is reported that
the rush is due to foreign orde rs." and
as this is the season Of the year when their
business Is usually dull the activity of
the Japanese agents ia considered signifi-
cant.
A story comes from Stratford, five miles
north Of here. to the effect that a peculiar
looking steamer. capable Of ocean naviga
tion, has been seen at anchor In the Sound
near that port, both morning and evening
on Thursday and Friday OF this week. 1t
is said that the steamer cruises during the
daytime and Ia seen from shore after sun
down and Just before sunrise in the morn
ing.
A few months ago, when Japanese were
in Bridgeport. the entire stock on hand
of the American and British Manufacturing
Company was sold for a good price to "a
stranger" 1t occurred about the time
that two Bridgeport young men offered to
sell war secret to one OF Japan's consular
representatives in New York city. 1t de-
veloped later that they were employees
Of the company and thought that the field
pieces were going to Russia. Everything
In the factory in the form OF guns or cannon
was purchased and shipped away as ma
chinery.
Bridgeport believes that the expedition
will start from here and leave by way Of
Mcntauk Point for Japan. Various reports
which cannot be confirmed are In ciroula-
ton. One Of them is that certain Bridge
port men are going to Japan on the steamer
eoen OF Stratford.
