Great Food Value Of Rice.

Some foods are not only ideal for
the invalid, but are equally valuable
as muscle builders for those engaged
in hard work and who are in perfect
health. No other food fills this doub-

digestible as we'll as very nutritious,
it excels for the invalid or GONZALES

that may be given to babies. But it

One of the most amazing revelations
of the Russo.Japanese War was the
we'll nigh perfect health of the Japa
nese soldiery, whose main diet had
always been rice. While no single
article possesses all the food quality
needed by the body, rice approaches
the point as nearly as any known. AS
one of our own national products We
have not sufficiently appreciated its
food value. In this era of high prices

ate was passed.
The convention also voted down
resolution favorng the initiative, ref.

favoring tax on franchises was also
voted down,
At 12:45 in the morning the con-
vention was in the midst Of voting as
to whether or not state ticket shall
be named. 1t seemed likely that the
motion to proceed with nominations
would carry, and that Adolph K.
Schmitz of Milwaukee, would be
named to head the ticket.
State Chairman Joseph A. Davies
and John A. Aylward of Madison,
spoke in strong terms against the
naming Of ticket, while Daniel H.
Grady of Portage, and Burt Williams
took the opposite view.
The principal planks in the platform
adopted by the convention favor home
rule; amending the constitution so
that United States senators may be
elected by direct vote, conservation
and government control of the natural
resources of state and nation; publi-
cation of campaign contributions; en-
actment of stringent corrupt practices

CoaIing Station.

Berlin, July 13.-Germany has TAX.
en- no stand in opposition to the
United States in the affairs of Central
issued no statement that could be con-
strued in to antagonism Of the Amer
lean government in what that govern
ment has done, is doing, or may do,
in Nicaragua. This declaration was
made at the German foreign Office.
Special dispatches received here
from Washington and other American
cities reported that the German for
eign Office had issued a statement that
Germany refuses to recognize any
right on the part of the United States
to supervise her diplomatic relations
with other countries, Central and
South American countries in general
and Nicaragua in particular"
Rumor is Denied.
T. When this report was placed before
the foreign Office it was given an en-
phatic denial. No such statement, an
official declared angrily, had been is
sued by that department or by any
other department of the German gov
eminent.
German government officials are
greatly wrought up by the attempts
made to have this country appear in a
role of antagonism to the United
States. whenfi on the contrary, it has
been the desire of the government to
develop both the commercial and dip
lomatic relations with America
The present situation has arisen
from the publication of a letter from
Emperor William to DR.. Madriz, presi-
dent de facto of the government Of
Nicaragua. In several quarters APP
parently the significance of this letter
has been misjudged, and it became
necessary in order that no wrong con-
struction might be placed on the let
ter to issue statement through the
foreign Office explaining that the let
ter was merely a formal acknowledge
ment of notice received from Ma
driz of his election to the presidency.
Germany to Keep Of.
This explanation was accompanied
by the statement that Germany had
no intention of intervening in any
way in Nicaraguan affairs and that
the reported offer by Madriz of a
coaling station to a European power
If it would intervene in Nicaragua
was not made to Germany.
The emperor's letter to DR.. Madriz
was dated April 26 and said:
Il am informed by your letter Of
the 9th of December of last year that
your excellency was elected president
of the republic by the merited conf
dence of your fellow citizens and that
your excellency entered upon your
most honorable duties on the 21st of
that month";"
An expression of the usual diplomat
ic good wishes and desire for the cul-
tivation of good relations between the
