WAR or TRADE ONLY
TELLS JAPS TO LOOK
OUT FOR Us COMMERCIALLY
Orient Is Battleground-old-Tims
Affection Between the Two
Countries Pledged.

Minneapolis, Minn-The war that is
to be fought out between Japan and the
United States, President Taft Sunday
declared, is commercial war.
He grasped the hand of fellowship and
peace that was extended him by the
Japanese commercial commission that is
touring the country, and at the same
time warned them to look out for us,
since American business men are at last
awakening to the demands of the Ori-
entail trade and are up and doing. Baron
Slubusawa, who is chairman of the jap
anese commission, pledged the old-time
affection between Japan and the United
States as an assurance of peace between
the two nations in the future.
Mr.. Taft humorously laid all the war
talk to the newspapers, which, he de-
clared were also now reconciled to the
fact that there would be no armed
clash.
1t was a veritabe Japanese-American
peace conference that the president pre-
sided ovcr-appropriately arranged for
Sunday with an ideal setting in the
Lafayette Club on the shore of beauti-
full Lake Minnctonka, twenty miles out
from Minneapolis.

COLUMBUS MIFFED AT TAFT
May Petition Him Not to Even Pass
Through City.

Columbus, Ga.-Angered because Pres
ident Taft, after promising to stop here
for several hours in November, has
broken his promise and now proposes to
pass through without stopping, the peo-
pie are talking of getting up petit
tion requesting the president not to come
here at all. Conservative citizens, while
deeply resenting the action of the pres
ident in breaking his promise, are oppos-
ing the petition movement, as they say
it would be an insult to the office of
the president. 1t is probable that these
citizens who respect the presidents Of
flee will be able to prevent the peti.
tion being forwarded to Mr.. Taft.
The people, however, feel so bitterly
about Mr.. Taft's action that they would
rejoice to hear he has decided not to
come to Columbus.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food,

A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice OF my profession I have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that I unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
OF teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu.
men water very nourishing and re.
freshing.'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for favouring. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
my husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
personally I regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-
GUS rrostration or brain fag, 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
In this way ending the trouble.
There's Reason" and trial proves.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville."
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time to time. They
nre genuine, trues and full Of human
interest.

Carnations Go to Sleep.

Florists often suffer losses through.
a habit carnations have of sometimes
going to sleep" and never opening
again. A series of experiments made
in the Hull botanical laboratory and
described in the Botanical Gazette
makes it seem probable that this
sleep is caused by the effect of il.
Eliminating gas, to which, even in very
small quantities, these flowers are.
surprisingly sensitive.

Ny Dear GOVERNOR am in full SYM

you to write me on the subject suggest
ing a similar statement to the cotton
growers of Kentucky.
There is hardly any cotton grown in
Kentucky, as far as I am advised. If
Kentucky grew any appreciable amount
of cotton, should consider the sugges-
tion very valuable one.

Uptown Sentiment-While undoubt-
eddy room traders and some small
spectators in the miscellaneous class
were led by various rumors which were
in circulation today and yesterday
afternoon to sell stocks moderately it is
known that the most important specu-
lators and the large financial interests
paid no attention whatever to the ru-
mors. The. latter this morning expected
the market to react a point or two at
frequent intervals, largely because Of
rumors, for which there is little or no
foundation, but to which the average
| SPECTATOR is likely to give more or less
attention. The biggest interests still
believe that the tendency of the market
is upward. but do not predict sensa-
tional advances in the immediate flu
ture. except. possibly. in the case Of a
few stocks, which are easily controlled
marketwise.
