PLEA FOR sArrLrsHlps.
President, in Special Message, Asks
for Four New ones.

Washington, April 15.--With a view
to forcing the direct issue as to wheth.
er his naval program for four new
battleships should go by the board,
az threatened, President Roosevelt
sent a stirring message to congress
Tuesday afternoon in advocacy Of his
plan. The delivery was 20 timed II
would reach the house before q vote
could be taken on the battleship pro
vision in the naval appropriation bill,
at present under consideration.
TO provide for but one OF two bat
tleships year" he says, lis TO pro
vide that this nation, instead OF ad-
vancing, shall 60 backwards in naval
rank and relative power among the
great nations. Such a course would
be unwise for us II we fronted merely
on one ocean, and II is doubly unwise
when We front on two oceans. As
chief executive OF the nation, and as
commander-in-chief of the navy there
is imposed upon me the solemn re-
sponsSbility Of advising the congress
Of the measures vitality necessary to
secure the peace and welfare OF the
republic in the event Of international
complications which are even remote
ly possible.
Having in view this solemn respon-
sibility, earnestly advise that the
congress now provide four battleships
OF the most advanced type.
Il can not too emphatically say that
this is a measure of peace and not
Of war" he continued. Il can con
oeivO Of no circumstance under which
this republic would enter into an az
gresslve war. Yet our undefended
wealth invites aggression"
Speaking Of arbitration treaties, he
said:
1T is mischlevous folly for any
statesman to assume that this word
has yet reached the stage when a ma
ton can rely for peace upon the for
bearance Of other persons"

FAT BABY

Babies grow very rapidly and II
they do not get the right kind Of food
they grow backwards instead Of for
wards; that Is. when their food Is not
nourishing they grow thin and cross
and some of them die from the lack OF
the right kind OF food. A girl writes:
My aunt's baby was very delicate
and was always Ill. She was not able
to nurse II and took IL to one doctor
after another. but none of them did
the child any good.
"One day mother told my aunt to
try Grape Nuts for the baby. but she
laughed and said II the doctors
couldn't do the baby any good, how
could Grape-Nuts? But mother said
try Il anyway
so my aunt put one tablespoonful
OF Grape-Nuts In quarter cup OF
hot water and when the food was soft
she added as much milk as water and
gave that to the baby
.1n a month and q half you would
hardly have known that baby, IL was
so fat and thrived so fast. A neighbol
asked my aunt what made the baby sc
healthy and fat when only six week,
before Il was so thin. She said
Grape Nuts The neighbor got Grape
Nuts for her baby and IL was soon al
fat as my aunt's child"
