ROME, Aug. 26-A prominent Al

Just returned from visit 10 his native

lowing statement on the Balkan situ-
alton;
"The Balkan peninsula, even after
the world war, constitutes standing
menace TO the peace Of Europe. The
fundamental trouble is that the hung

1t has emerged from the various peace
treaties, places Serbia in position Of
undiscussed and undeserved suprem-
acy over the other Balkan peoples.

For twenty hours this fooo is
backbone reason you like
it-another reason why it
digests so easily.

One of the important things in connection
with any cereal food is to have it thor
oughly baked or cooked. For baking or
cooking changes the starch of the grains.
Grape-Nuts is the longest baked Of al
cereal foods 1t is scientifically baked at
carefully regulated temperatures for 20
hours. This IS one of the reasons why
Grape-Nuts digests SO easily; why it agrees
with many people who cannot take any
other form of cereal without producing
fermentation.
A goodly part of Grape-Nuts is converted
into dexrose, ready to be Immediately assln-
i1ated by the system, and yield strength and
energy. A further portion has partially
undergone this change, while there remains
sufficient unchanged cereal to strengthen the
digestive organs. 1t is then in a condition
to meet the various requirements Of the
digestive system.
If you want to eat a most strengthening
and nouFisf1h1g food, and one that will digest
more readily go to your grocer today and
get package of Grape-Nuts. Eat it with
stewed fruit or as a cereal with milk or
cream; or make it into an appetzing pudding.

In company with J. G Trindle Of
the Liberal Auto Supply Company,
Mr.. Kinkead visited the former mem

According to Kinkead, the associa-
alton was organized more than year
ago to mark a route from New York
City to San Deigo, California, and in
that time has made wonderful pro-
gress. The routes now marked from
the Indinan line to Logan, New Mex
leo, and according to Mr.. Kinkead
viii be marked the entire distance in
plenty of time to accommodate the
1921 tourists. as
This highway is the most direct
line across the continent and while
it-verges with the Fort to Fort high
way at this point will be the means
of bringing a lot Of travel over this
route.
The scriptions received is the only
manner the association has for paying
for the marking of the route. The
painters and markers will SOON go to
work out of Logan, New Mexico, and
complete the work into southern CAL
ifornia.
W. B. Russell Of Fort Scott, Kansas

ports from their offices much interest
is being taken in the route and 1t Is
hoped to have the entire distance
marked early this springsV Y :.
Mr.. Kinkead was loud in his praises
Of Liberal. He says he has visited
every town this site or ST. Louis on
the route of the highway and Is In
position to know something about
towns. He thinks there is live
bunch Of boosters here, equal to the
best he has found anywhere.

DOES DEMOCRAT
ADVERTISING PAYf

There may be doubt in the minds
of few as to whether or not adver-
tising in the Daily Democrat is pro-
ductive Of results. Many times there
has been ample proof in the affrma-
tive, but none more apparent than
the wrestling match last night.
This match was advertised exclu-
sively in the Daily Democrat, and al
though the bad roads prevented many
from coming from surrounding towns
the Armory was filed to capacity.
In fact, many were turned away. who
could not get close enough to see the
bout.
More seats will be provided for fu-
ture matches and an ecort made to
seat all who can get into the build

stand last night.
We point to this great crowd, the
best that has yet attended match
in this city, as positive proof that

results right now.

"Do you think it possible that you
may devise any mechanism through
which; when you have left this life
you may hope to communicate with
us?"
Thomas A. Edison, the wonder
wizard, who will be IA on February
IL, and is as hale and hearty as man
of forty and constantly at work upon
being asked the above question. gave
the International News Service Inter-
viewer, this answer:
eff my theory is correct-that the
machine called man is only mass of
dead matter and that the real life
is in the millions of individual units
which navigate, this machine, and if
on the destruction of the machine
those individual units keep together
including those which have charge Of
the memory, (which is our personal
ity)-then think it is possible to
devise apparatus to receive commu-
nications if they desire to make them.
It will be very difficult as each
individual as to size is beyond the
limit of our present microscopes"
"When was little boy" said
Edison, "persistently trying to find
out how the telegraph worked and
why, the best explanation I ever got
was from an old Scotch line repairer
who said that if you had a dog like
dachschund long enough to reach
from Edinburgh to London, If you
pulled his tail in Eidengurgh he would

that" said Edison, "but it was hard
to get at what it was that went

culties to be overcome. even ordinar-
lily, after successful invention of ap-
paratus. The speaking motion picture
awaits only operators of sufficient
skill. Before the electric light could
be used commercially thousands Of
men had to be technically trained.
Edison recalls that when he was tele-
graph operator in Boston and invent
ed a duplex system that could carry
two messages over the same wire a
the same time, he spent $500 of bor-
rowed money to establish circuit
to Rochester but had to give It up

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-Frederick

steps to prevent the spread of typhus
to the United States, when he put
into effect rigid quarantinee regu-
lations at Ellis Island.
Mr.. Wallis has been much exercised

producing the human voice. 1t actu-
ally did so on the first test and my
astonishment was profound" he ans
wered.
What is education?" / asked him.
Edison had no regular schooling
to speak of and has attained by meth
ods all his own the vast store of var
iec skrissiedge through which he has
worked his marvels:
"The main essential" Edison ans
wered, "is to have teachers who can
explain the reason. for and working
of things by analogy with things
which the scholar already is familiar
with instead of words of which the
scholar does not know the meaning,
Personality, he puts to the fore,
here. as in all else.
"To have teachers who can-"is
the heart of the answer. His own
achievements have been dependent
not only upon his own intelligence
ad methods but upon apt cooperation
of his associates and employees, of
whom in his various industries there
are now about million, many thou
sands of whom are highly trained;
and any good method is futile with
out good personality to work it.
"Right education would train chill
dren to right tendencies" Mr.. Edi-
son said, talking in his rapid, vigor-
GUS, epigrammatic way. "People go
the direction in which they are in
clined. They do what they want to do.
They will know what they want to
know. They generally get what they
want and will become what they at
bottom want to become. For good
and for good health too,

pie ought to be trained to restraint

'People will not only do what they
like to do; they over do it 100 per
cent. Most people over eat 100 per
cent because they like it. That extra
100 per cent and over sleep 100 per
cent because they like it. That extra
100 per cent makes them unhealthy
and inefficient. The person who
