Fear lest the thrifty householder be

old Michigan club. State leaders and

publican leader and active worker in
the city and county was present. and

HAPPY OLD AGE.
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating,

AS old age advances, we require
less food to replace waste. and food
that will not overtax the digestive
organs, while supplying true nourish-
ment.
Such an ideal food Is found In
Grape-Nuts, made Of whole wheat and
barley by long baking and action of
diastase in the barley which changes
the starch into sugar. tE3
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat OF the wheat, are
included In Grape-Nuts, but left out
OF white -four. They are necessary
TO the building of brain and nerve
cells.

 "On the bosom of the Pacific will be enacted the great commercial struggles of the future, ana the interests of American commerce Gin connection with the exposure of our western shoes to any hostile attack will de- mand that the greater portion of the American navy shall be retained in the waters of the Pacific to preserve the peace Of the world.
 This magnificent western country of ours has not only proved attractive to our own people and the other white nations of the earth, but it has likewise proved alluring to the brown and vel low races of the east. Some protection has been offorded by the exclusion of Chinese labor, but the evil is but half met if the immigration of Japanese, Koreans. Hindus and other Asiatic people be not also excluded from our shores.
 To Exclude Asiastics.
 ''Not only the white toilers in Amer ica, but all our people. without respect to class or residence. are vitally inter ested in this menace to our social and industrial life from Asiatic quar- ters, and if this is to remain a white mans country immediate steps should be taken to prevent Asiatic immigra- tion of whatsoever character.
 This convention is meeting at a time when the agnel of peace is hoy ering over the entire world, and the nations of the earth, each day are strengthening those ties of friendship and common interest that will render war less frequent and permit mankind to turn their hands to the peaceable pursuits of life. rather than to the de- Istruction of one another.
 The democratic party realizes the part that America must play in the affairs of the world and that we can not escape participation in the settle ment of every world problem that arises. but America's weight and in fluence must ever be on the side of peace, on the side of justice, on the side of the oppressed, and if the will of the people shall commit to our hands the sceptre of power. it will be used for the realization of the high American ideals that raise our own through our precepts and examples

i It is conceded that if Guffey should | be defeated. which would be the re- | suit of the seating of an anti -Guffey delegation from Philadelphia, that will end the opposition to Bryan and all the fighting spirit will be taken out of the anti Bryan men, The Nebraskan'S friends would then be given a clear
 road to the adoption of whatever char. acter of platform they favor and no showing whatever should be made against him for the nomination for the. first place on the ticket.
 Should the Bryan men be so dis posed. they could dictate also the nomination for the vice presidency. Gossip over candidates for vice pres-'
 ident has been completely Overshad-
 owed by the events of the day, and
 there is little change in the situa
 tion. There are nearly a hundred
 men in the field. Such leaders as
 have found time to give attention to the vice presidential situation to- night, however. seemed to think that
 the Bryan Guffey contest, having be-
 come a national convention issue,
 there is little hope left of the nOmi-
 nation of conservative eastern

 danger of the alienation of the con- servative wing of the party that no
