MEXICAN TREATY SIGNED.
Long Quarrel Over Rio Grande Water
Rights Settled by Signature of
Important Document.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21.-
Secretary Root for the United States
and Ambassador Casasus for the MeXi-
can government today signed a treaty re-
gulating the use of the waters of the
Rio Grande which, if approved by the
Senate, will remove what has been for
twenty years past source of friction in
the relations of the two countries. The
Mexican government guarantees the
United States government against any
suit for liability on account of claims of
individual MeXicans who have so far
suffered through the diversion of water.
For almost a century A1exicans along
the lower river have used its waters for
irrigation. But in recent years private
companies on the upper waters in the
United States have with wing dams di
verted large part of the water TO this
side of the river. The MeXicans have
preferred claims for damage, but without
success. Now the plans of the reclama-
ton service have made it certain that
practically all of the water will be re-
tanned on American soil, unless some
proper scheme of division can be ar
ranged. The construction of the $1,000.
600 dam across the Rio Grande at Engel,
New Mexico, brought the matter 10
climax.
The underlying principle of the conven-
ton is the recognition of the common
law right of the Mexicans to the use of
q fair share of the waters. but as the
United States pays for the great dam
and canals. the Mexican share is only
fractional proportion.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.

T.,e Dfresting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread Is
nearly all starch, and starch is digest
ed in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat ber-,
nv Nature has provided a curious de
post which is turned into diastase
when 1t is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
mtestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar. which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, SO Natures val
liable digester Is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we go SO contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments Of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the:
diastase, outside of the human body
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in n perfectly
natural manner, without the use Of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals Of grape
sugar can be seen On the pieces Of
Grape-Nuts This food therefore is nat
urally pre-digested and its use in place
Of bread will quickly correct the trou-
bles that have been brought about by
the too free use Of starch in the food
and that is very common in the human
race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance Of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's a reason"

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 19-Tonight,
with blaze of lights and the music of
many bands, White City will open its
doors to such an immense crowd of sight
seekers that the capacity of even the
mammoth amusement park will be Sc
verely tested.
1t is difficult to depict the scenes of
excitement and enjoyment participated
In by the throngs of people that filled
the Magic City.
So many new features are installed
this year that the general aspect of
White City is almost changed New
buildings for the new shows of this sea-
BON dot the grounds. and the impression
h one of complete regeneration.
The band stand of last year has been
replaced by a magnificent shell built in
khe peristyle at the base of the beautiful
bower and lnnis and his band of half
4 hundred musicians inaugurated the sec
ond season of this biggest amusement
proposition in the west.
The suspicious opening forecasts an
untold popularity for White City this
year.

King SoIomon's Mines.

If the conclusions as to the origin and
history of the mysterious ruins III Rho
desia put before the British association
at Bulawayo by Randall Maclyer are
correct, they are not relics of ancient
Ophir, and we must seek elsewhere for
the region where King Solomon procured
his stores of gold and precious stones.

April. under the auspices Of the associa-
ton and the Rhodes trustees, and eN-
amined minutely the ruins OF lnyan%&.

vestigations he has decided that none OF
the ruins in southern RhodeSla Is older
than the Fifteenth or Sixteenth century.
and that they are the handiWOrk OF
African natives of the negro or negroid
race under the dynasty known by the
collective name of Monomotaga. The
bases OF these conclusions were formed
on the following data:
The buildings are essentially of q ma
tive kind or type common today; nearly
all retain some original wood stakes inn
bedded in the walls: there is no trace Of
inscriptions on any of the ruins: stone
and iron implements We're found to-
gether; neither the buildings nor the 9TH

Strange Cargo from the Amazon.

One of the strangest cargoes a vessci
could possibly have was unloaded at the
London docks toward the close of
March. 1t consisted of several sacks
filled with dried flies, consigned 10 n
large firm of grain merchants.
These flies, originating in Brazil, have
been purchased for use i'll the manufac-
turc of food for chickens, cage birds and
the like. They were caught on the river
Amazon by Brazilians, who travel up
the river i'll fat bottomed boats and who
are provided with gauZe nets, with which
they capture these insects in millions,
as flies hover in dense clouds over many
of the swampy reaches of the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed, dried
in the sun, and then placed in sacks
Upon arrival in London they are mixed
with millet and other grain and are sold
as chicken food, etc. Some time ago the
Brazilian government, fearing that the
fish in the Amazon river would be
starved, forbade the expectation of flies :;
hence the price of this strange commodl-
ty. which used TO be Cd. per pound, has
now risen to Is Cd. per pound, and often
a little more.-Scicntiic American.

ENGLAND'S WOMEN
DEMAND "RIGHTS. "
Pounce Upon Premier Campbell Banner
man with Big Deputation and
Forty M. P's.

LONDON, May 19.-Escorted by forty
0embers of Parliament, nearly 400 wom-
On suffragists, representing organizations
from all parts Of the country, inter
viewed Premier Campbell-Bannerman at
the foreign office today and presented
their claims that women be allowed to
vote.
Women Tell All About 1t.
Only eight members Of the numerous
deputation were allowed u speak and
tn accordance with previous arrange
ment each speaker was limited to i've
minutes. In the aggregate Of forty min
utes the premier heard about all there
was to hear III favor Of female suffrage.
The immediate grant Of Women,s rights
was the unanimous demands OF the
speakers, some of whom presented to the
premier their minimum demands,
claiming that immediate legislation be-
slowing on women the right to vote was
necessary and declaring that a promise
to take the matter at the next session
OF Parliament would not satisfy them.
One speaker menacingly declared that
the women were prepared to sacrifice
their lives in behalf of their demands.
The premier smiled upon this strangely
assorted gathering of women, including
as it did ladies of title side by side
with factory employees, and said he SYM
Dathized with the object of the deputa-
ton but asked his visitors to be patient
until the government became more unit
ed in favor of the extension of the iran
chise to women.
The cause, he added. had made enor
NOUS strides Of late years. Personally
he believed that the women were as well
qualified as men, and perhaps better, to
exercise the right to vote and III his
opinion the deputation had made out
conclusive and irrefutable case.
Asks Them to Be Patient
Speaking for others, however, as well
as himself, the premier pointed out that
It was necessary to preach the virtue
of patience Only harm would result if,
because of his own sympathies and CON
victions, he gave pledge regarding the
time and method of achieving the object
they had in view.
No party or government was entirely
united on this subject. He warned the
women against indiscreet action which
he said probably would check the flow
Ing tide, and advised them to leave the
matter confidently 10 the growing
strength of their cause.
The premier wound up his remarks
with saying that he believed it would
not be many years before the desired
change was brought about. This refer
ence to years" was met with kissing
erom the members of the deputation, who
left the foreign office evidently greatly
dissatisfied
The arrival of the deputation at the
Foreign office was preceded by street
demonstration contingents of women
from various localities marching with
banners flying and bands playing to the
Victoria embankment, whence accompa-
MED by an interested crowd of Onlookers,
the women marched to the foreign office.

France made $4,000 more on the snuff
