WOULD BE POWERFUL NATION
But Separate Nationality for Ukraine
Does Not Seem to Suit the
Great Powers.

The Ukrainians are by far the most
numerous of the races aspiring to in
dependence through the disappearance
of the Romanoffs and Hapsburgs.
There are 100000 Ukrainians, most
of them in the six southern and south
western former Russian govern
ments," or provinces, and in eastern
Galicia.
The Ukraine is larger than Ger
many and twice as large as France. 1t
stretches from the Carpathian noun
tains to the Black sea and the eau
casuS. 1t contains the oil fields of
Galicia and the famous Donetz coal
and iron region. Almost all the cereals,
cattle. sugar and salt exported from
the former Russian empire came from
the Ukraine.
If the Ukraine manages to survive
and keep within it's boundaries the
territories in which its race predoms
mates, it will be the most populous
and the richest of the new states Gre
ated by the war, and next to Russia,
the largest country in Europe.
] An independent Ukraine, however,
does not seem to fit In with the inter-
ests of the victors in the World war,
as these interests are conceived by
their statesmen. Hence every posi-
BILE effort is being made to deny the
existence Of Ukrainian race. Dur
ing the last few years the most absurd
and unfounded statements about the
Ukrainians have been circulated and
have gained credence.-Herbert Adams

Your state of health largely
depends upon the food you eat

No one who is physically aiing ip any way
can afford to take chances with the food he eats.
For upon the selection Of your food, and upon
its perfect digestion and assimilation largely de-
ponds your state Of health.
The most important thing in connection with
the digestibiity of any cereal food is the way it
is prepared and the length of time it is cooked
or baked.
Grape-Nuts, the rich cereal food made from
whole wheat -four and matted barley, is probably
baked longer than any other cereal food
A large part of the starch of the wheat and
barley is changed into dextrin and grape-sugar in
preparing Grape Nuts. This is reason why
Grape Nuts is so easily digested by even the
most delicate people.
Grape-Nuts is wheat and barley so processed\
as to make it delicious and appetizng; even young
children thrive on it and grow strong and rosy.
Go to your grocer today and get package
Of Grape Nuts. Eat it as cereal with milk or
cream, or make it into delicious pudding. 1t
will be enjoyed and relished by every member
Of the family.
