Official announcement Of the names
Of the plenipotentiaries is withheld for
several reasons. M. Nelidoffs health
may not permit him to make the trip

Baron Komura. Mr.. Takahira and
Baron Rosen are regarded as the GER

something unforeseen should occur,
both Russia and japan will consent to
the official announcement of the per-

within a few days. In any event both
missions will consist of many advis-
ers, including army and possibly naval
officers and officials from the foreign
Offices in Toxic and st. Petersburg. It
is expected that altogether each mis-
sion may number ten or twelve. Should
six plenipotentiaries be chosen, both
Russia and Japan have names under
consideration which will enable them
to announce their plenipotentiaries
without delay.

Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues OF the
liking Of Foods

Since the earliest annals of Old:
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
It has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms OF making
wheat into food products, some OF
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed,
"the staff of life," as it alone OF
known foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in a far more
healthful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition OF refined
diastase, the highest grade OF malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
in the EgS-O-See package; moth
ing but full measure of the highest
grade of cereal food in the world.
