People hesitate at the statement that the
famous food, Grape-Nuts. yields as much
nourishment from one pound rs can he

Of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds
OF meat might contain more nourishment
than one pound of Grape Nuts. but not
in shape that the system win absorb a.
large a proportion OF, as the body can take
up from one pound Of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts of
wheat and barley which are prepared and
by natural means predigested. TIRE n-tormed
into form of sugar, ready for immediate
assimilation. People in all parts OF the
world testify to tho value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo man says. Il have gained ten

been eating meat, bread, etc, right along,
but there was no ten pounds of added flesh
until Grape-Nuts food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that It's Use will reduce the
weight Of corpulent person with un-
healthy flesh. and will add TO the weight
Of thin person not properly nourished.
There is abundance OF evidence to prove
this.

HAVANA MUCH EXCETED.
Proposed Celebration Of Rey OIutiOn's Annt.
versary stirs the Liberal Factions.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TIE SUN.
HAVANA. Aug. is.--Political circles have
been disturbed by the proposed meeting
tomorrow night to commemorate the be-
ginning OF the revolution Of last year The
meeting was planned by the supporters Of
Alfredo Zayas. whereupon Jose Miguel
Gomez. the rival Liberal candidate for the
Presidency, said he would not participate.
Sapce then politicians have been discussing
the propristy Of the meeting.
The Zayistas planned to invite Gov.
Magoon. but did not because the impos-
sibilty Of his attending such an affair was
pointed out to them. The Moderates,
whom the Liberals defeated in the revolt,
are wildly indignant over the celebration.
They declare. that il 10 in bad taste and an
outrage. They have discussed plans for
counter demonstration.
The Dis"us.on, a Moderate organ. says
that the citizens should display Grape in
stead Of bunting. Not since the Revolution
itself has Havana been so excited politically.
therefore the meeting promises to be inter-
esting.
The supporters of Gomez held meeting
last night and constituted themselves a
Liberal national convention, wholly, ac-
cording to the Zayistas, without authority.
Following the meeting delegates went to
Gomez's home. He received them and en-
braced each OF them. e, Tr;unfo Gorez's
organ has this account Of the happening:
Gen. Eusibio Hernandez addressed an
intense. patriotic and feeling speech to
the brave legendary general. who standing
on the steps listened deeply moved. Our
future President Gen. Hernandez said.
and the rest OF his words were drowned by
thunders of applause. Our future Presi-
dent, he repeated. and the enthusiasm rose

Gen Gomez responded in a few we'll
chosen words Of thanks. Thanks. he re-
pested with sublime accent. thanks and
something like a resplendent veil Of pa
triotism and power enveloped the manly
form of rhe soldier and patriot"
After this the party broke up. declaring
that Gomez had the presidency nailed
down.

BIZ SANE, SAYS LESLIE M. SHAW.
The COuBtrys An Rigbt ~ Won Only Make
Yourself Think 10.

Leslie VI. shaw. ex-Secretary Of the
Treasury and now president of the Carnegie
Trust Company, allowed himself 10 be
interviewed yesterday on the state Of the
country. He said
Our farms produce more than S6.50O.-
OOO.OO0 per annum. and the prospect is good
for an average crop. Our mines yield more
than 81 500. 100000 and our forests more
than 81 ,OOO. 900 900. and neither Of these
sources Of wealth has been exhausted.
The output of our factories. I'm other than
food products. is approximately si2,oo0,-
OO0,00O, and no fires have been exting,iished.
The railways earn more Than $4,000. 900, 900
and they are all in successful operation.
The payrols Of our factories and railways
aggregate approximately $500, ,0O0, 900 and
the scale of wages has not been reduced.
in other words, the real sources OF the
peoples wealth have not yet been affected
and the ability Of industrial concerns to
pay dividends is not measured by the
market price of their stocks. Logical rea-
sons for serious conditions are therefore
wanting. Psychological reasons are never
wanting
IF judge correctly. the people will have
exactly what they expect. II those who
have money in the banks withdraw II and
lock 1t up. II the banks refuse to grant ac-
commodations. and il the consuming public
decline TO place orders. then we will very
soon witness the effects.
Let those who think that times of dis
sster follow each other at regular intervals
bear in mind that this country has never
yet experienced period Of severe depres-
sion that was not traceable to financial
or economic agitation or legislation, and
usually to both.
In 1898 the redemption of greenbacks
in silver instead of gold was openly
advocated; the party in power was under
promise TO remove the protective tarih
from our industries. and the free coinage of
silver at the ratio OF sixteen to one was
championed by prominent members OF both
parties. The country might have survived
any one Of these sources of alarm. but II
could not survive all three.
AT this time no one questions our financial
system and the tariff will not be touched
for at least eighteen months.
"Some check in the speed at which We
are going is most desirable, and the check
ing process has probably begun. II will
now require fair measure of confidence
and courage to prevent undue retardment
in our industries. Capital cannot be forced
into activity. but il can be forced out of
activity. l have never seen the time when
universal sanity was more essential TO our
