Washington, Sept. 10.--So keen Is the Interest felt in every development there and BO tense the situation on the Mexican border that officials of the war and state departments were held on duty Sunday to receive re­ ports and to prepare for immediate action should such become necessary. Ambassador Calero as soon as he reaches Mexico City will present to his government the demand of the United States that effective action shall be taken by the Mexican gov­ ernment to safeguard the lives of Americans in northern Mexico and to prevent destruction of American property on both sides of the boun­ dary. President Madero is expected by the state department to make a prompt reply to this demand. General Steever, in command of the American forces along the border, made no report of additional disturb- unces by Mexican rebels. For this reason officials of the war department are inclined to consider as exaggerat­ ed dispatches stating that rebels have threatened to attack Arizona City and Douglas, and that women and children are being rushed to points of safety while the male citizens are arming themselves to repel Invasion and to prevent a massacre. It is stated at the war department that General Steever has a sufficient number of men at these places to drive back into Mexico any of the rebel bands now operating within striking distance of either Arizona City or Douglas and no Information of the concentration of these bands has been received. Less concern as to the safety of Americans along the border will be felt by the war department, however, with the arrival of the two additional troops of cavalry ordered from Forts D. A. Russell and Riley to reinforce the border patrol. Beverly, Mass, Sept. 10.--Although President Taft will not intervene in Mexico without the fullest delibera­ tion upon a step that would mean war, his friends declared Sunday that Intervention is nearer than It has been since the first American troops were rushed to the border 18 months ago. It can be stated on the highest au­ thority, however, that should the pres­ ident decide that Intervention is the only course open to him, he will call congress in special session and de­ mand of it the authority to send the American army across the border. Eagle Pass, Tex., Sept 10.--The specter of Intervention is causing an­ other exodus of Americans from Mex­ ico. All trains arriving at Texas bor- der points Sunday were crowded with refugees, many of whom fled from small and unprotected towns where the situation is deemed critical. Ad­ vices from the larger cities of the in­ terior are to the effect that many Americans are preparing to leave for the United States and that thp safety of American women and children par­ ticularly Is being looked after.

German Farmer Good Business Man. Under a Beemingly generous offer of hospitality, a North German farm­ er has managed to include a good stroke of business for himself.

But in exchange they would be required to pick peas from eight to ten hours dally. Industrious pickers might also be paid cash for their labor. A FOOD CONVERT Good Food the True Road to Health. The pernicious habit some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve stomach trouble keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion--dyspepsia -- is caused by what is put Into the stomach in th« way of improper food. th4 kind that so taxes the strength of the digestive organs they are actually crippled. When this state is reached, to resort to tonics is like whipping a tired horse with a big load. Every addi­ tional effort he makes under the lash diminishes his power to move the load. Try helping the stomach by leaving off heavy, greasy. Indigestible food and take on Grape-Nuts--light, easily digested, full of strength for nerves and brain. In every grain of it. There's no waste of time nor energy wh«n Grape-Nuts is the food. "I am an enthusiastic user of Grape- Nuts and consider it an ideal food." writes a Maine man: "I had nervous dyspepsia and was all ran down and my food seemed to do me but little good. From reading an advertisement I tried Grape-Nats food, and, after a few weeks' steady use of it, felt greatly improved. "Am much stronger, not nervous now, and can do more work without feeling so tired, and am better every way. "I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream and use four heaping teaspoonfuls as the cereal part of a meal. I am sure there are thousands of persons with stomach trouble who would be bene­ fited by using Grape-Nuts." Name giv­ en by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
