Saratoga, New York, on September 9th,
and which will last through the week
following that date, officers of the G..

The headquarters of the order in
the Capitol building in Denver will
close September 5th and remain closed
until after the convention; in the mean.
time the Department of Colorado and
Wyoming will open headquarters at the
Saratoga encampment. Just now the
local officers are busily engaged in the
preparation of list of the men who
expect to go. and in this work they
can be aided greatly if the veterans
who have already decided to go will
report at once to the local headquar.

The official train will leave Denver
at 1870 O'Clock on the afternoon of
September 5th and the fare for the
round trip will be $500 Members OF
the G.. A. r. are complaining that the
Western Passenger Association has de.
cided to charge rates one-third higher
than those charged by eastern roads.
But the officers were unable to induce
the western roads to conform to the
lower rates. 1t is said that many dele
gates have already decided that they
cannot pay the advanced rates, and
alternates will go in their places.

Was to Have Been Bride,

Canon City, Colo.-Miss Eugene
Goold. the beautiful young woman who
plunged to her death over a 900-foot
precipice was to have been married in
few weeks to Adolphus Latham. This
information leaked out this morn
ing and makes more sad the distressing
accident. Latham was her companion
at the time of the accident. The young
man is heartbroken.
Back of his engagement to Miss
Goold is pretty little romance. The
couple met a month ago at Howard
where Latham is prominently identified
with Presbyterian church work. An
attachment Immediately sprang up be
tween them and few days later the
outing which resulted in Miss Goold's
death was planned. According to pres.
ent Information the date of the wed
ding had not been set.
Miss Goold and Latham were on an
outing in the hills with several com
panions, when. In looking over r high
cliff the rock on which the woman
stood gave way, precipitating her TO

FEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS

New York.-Delegates from nine

ment is the outgrowth of resolution
adopted by the National Association

officers of the national association
were instructed to establish and
finance council to serve as means
of harmonizing ana federating the va

of employers, merchants and citizens
so as to get them to cooperate with
the manufacturers in an educational
campaign for the promotion of indus

president of the National Association
of Manufacturers. who presided pend
ing formal organization, said:
More than seventy-fve per cent.
of the national organization of en-
ployers have responded to the call to
form federation. Especially, our pur.
pose is to defend our common inter

The Manchester canal was built al
a cost of $75,O00,000 to reduce freight
rates for distance of S5 miles, and
while it did not prove good inter
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, its indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained. besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con
slider a large state, has 5000 miles OF
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.
England, Germany, France, Holland

FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
FOOD d
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, GrapeNuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds OF meat might coz
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion 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 pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: 81 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had 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 its use will reduce
the weight of corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.
