Mother Finds Food for GrOwn-ups
and Children Wen.
Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as well as
the older members Of the family,
makes a pleasant household commodi-

Such a food is Grape-Nuts It not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from bad
habits of eating have become dyspeD-
tics.
A Phila lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
about eight years ago l had a Sc
we're attack of congestion of stomach
and bowels. From that time on, had
to be very careful about eating, as
nearly every kind of food then known
to me, seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago I commenced to use
Grape Nuts. / grew stronger ana bet
ter and from that time l seldom have
been without it; have gained III health
ana strength ana am now heavier Indn
I ever was.
"My husband was also in bad con-
dition-his stomach became 50 weak
that be could eat hardly anything with
comfort I got him to try Grape-Nuts
and he soon found his stomach trouble
had disappeared.
my girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old,

Eighteenth Ward Members of Social Eco
nomiCs Club Will Be Active

The members Of the Social Economics
zenith ward, are much Interested in the
election of the school director from that
ward to take the place of Alexander
Wall, who has declined reelection. 1t is
probable that committee to work on
this question before the spring elections,
may be appointed. This is the first time
that the women of Milwaukee, have had
opportunity to vote for school directors,
and the members of this club feel that
inasmuch as it will i'll future devote itself
to municipal questions, the members
must take advantage of this opportunity
to shape the personnel of the next school

UNPUBLISHED RICE.
Declared to Be More Nourishing Than
the Pearly Kind.

Learning that the method of polishing
rice to give it n pcarly appearance de-
prived it of Il large percentage of its al
luminous and fattening qualities and
the Vegetarian Magazine, was what
opened our eyes to the advantages Of
unpublished rice.
The trade refusing to supply rice in
this form, the Vegetarian Society sup
piled it to the public and this year al
ready about forty times more unpublished
rice has been sold than was sold the first
year of it's Introduction. The increase
during 1904 and 1905 was about four
fold each year.

Another Scare Bobs Up.
TOXIC, March ia question has
arisen regarding the last clause OF arti-
Gle , of the treaty between Japan and
the United States which has been cited
by the government at Wash lgtOn as au-
thority for the statement that the Japa-
nese heretofore have been issuing pass
ports limiting the destination of emf
grants.
The passports simply certify to the ma
tionality of their holders, and the placing
of Il restriction on them by an admins
trative measure is declared here to be
unauthorized by law and an infringe
ment of the personal right to travel guar
anteed by the constitution.
Japs Feel the Sting
In view. however, of the attitude of
the American government. i'll not call
ing for tie enforcement of the clause
mentioned it is thought that the limita-
ton so placed will be left unqueStiOned.
Even then Japanese jurists believe that
the action of the American government
in restricting the destination of holders
passports will not be upheld before u
court.
Administrative action and litigation
since the San Francisco school trouble
have brought the causes into prominence
and Japan has begun to smart under the
alleged humiliation. 1t would be no sur
prise should pressure be brought on the
government to have it abstain from issu
ing passports limiting the destination of
their bearers.
