FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food. Grape-Nuts, 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 con.
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts. but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large 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-
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. 1 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 a 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
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 Grapefruit famous.

FEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS.
Meeting 10 Held in New York q
Formulate Plans for Organizing.

New York.-Delegates from nine
teen employers associations in the
United States met at the Waldorf-As-
toria to form general federation or
organization of employers. The move
ment is the outgrowth of a resolution
adopted by the National Association
Of Manufacturers at its annual meet
ing in May.
Officers of the national association
were instructed to establish and
finance a council to serve as means
of harmonizing and federating the va
rious national and state organizations
of employers, merchants and citizens,
SO as to get them to cooperate with
the manufacturers in an educational
campaign "for the promotion Of indus
trial peace and mutual good will"
James W. Vancleave of st. Louis.
president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, who presided pend
ing formal organization, said:
More than seventy-five 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-
ests as employers and as public-spir-
tied citizens against assault from any
quarter. There is not the fafnteSt
shadow of truth in the report that the
federation's money and influence are
to be used to crush labor unions"

at the meeting are the Citizens In

The discovery that the State Board
of Equalization has reduced the as
sessed valuation Of the Rio Grande
Western railway in Mesa county 1885,

sioners when the certified copy of the
eQualization body was received from
Denver. The commissioners took
prompt action in the matter and i'm
medtateG sent q petition to the gov
ernor demanding that the valuation of
the company be placed at the same
figure as last year. This year the board
has fixed a value upon the thirty-four
miles OF track operated at $4,000 a
| mile, while the assessment in 1906
was 1$2, 900. This does not include
the rolling stock, etc. The appraised
valuation of the Rio Grande junction
and other railways operating In Mesa
county are practically the same as
heretofore. The commissioners are at
q loss to understand why such a re
markable reduction should be made for
the Rio Grande Western, as its track,
rolling stock and other property is said
to be identically the same as last wear.
Should the state board not rescind its
action, Mesa county will lose over
5000, as this is the amount of taxes
that would be derived from the former
assessment.
