Ready for Instant Uso Without
Cooking
Almost everyone -likes a cereal
food of some kind at breakfast and
supper, but the ordinary way of
cooking cereals results in a pasty
mas? that Is hard to digest and if not
properly digested, the raw mass goes
down into the intestinal tract where
gas is generated and trouble fol
lows. Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
Well,1 while poor food, or even food
of. good, quality that is poorly pre
pared and not digested, is sure to
bring on some kind of disease.
The oasiest food to digest in this
lino is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley,, and cooked thoroughly
at the factory, some twelve to six
teen hours being consumed in the
different processes of. preparation.
The food, therefore, is ready for in
stant service and the starch has been
changed to a form of sugar, so that
it is pre-dlgested and ready for al
most Immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges
tion and dyspepsia from the uso of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion, She says:
"I began using Grape-Nuts, and
I confess to haying had a prejudice
at first, and was repqatodlv urged
before" I finally decided to try the
food, but I have not known what
indigestion iB since using it, and have
never beon stronger or in bettor
health. I have increased in weteht
from 109 to 124 pounds."
People can bo well, practically
without cost if they will adopt scien
tific food and loavo off the indigest
ible sort. "There's a Reason."
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. It should be
sorvod exactly as it comes from the
package, without cooking, except in
cases -whore it is made up Into nud

An Associated Press dispatch from
Boston follows: "Assistant Secre
tary of. State Robert I. Bacon-figured
in a heroic rescue on the Charles
river late today when he jumped
overboard from the Harvard launch
Veritas and swam to the rescue of
two hoys who had capsized in a canoe
and succeeded in saviner the life of
one. The second boy was rescued
oy J. s. need, a student of Harvard,
who followed Mr. Bacon into the 'wa
ter. After swimming nearly seventy
five yards Bacon reached the boy,
who had become unconscious and
was sinking for the last time. Grasp
ing him firmly Bacon turned back
toward the launch which was mov
ing slowly toward him, and the men
on the launch drew both Bacon and
the boy back on board. Reed and
the other lad were also picked up."

van, Cranston, and general treasurer,

MR. BRYAN IN 1908
The Fayettevllle (N. C.) Observer
copies from Webster's Weekly the
following article:
The zeal with which the opponents
of Hon. William Jennings Bryan are
laboring to start a boom for some
body to defeat him for the nomina
tion for president is amusing. They
declare frantically that if he will but
give his endorsement the democratic
party will nominate a southern man
apd that said southern candidate,
with a united party behind him,
would stand an excellent chance of
being elected.
The brethren need to be reminded
that Mr. Bryan has never stood in
the way of a southern man attain
ing any honor to which he aspires.
At the national democratic conven
tion in St. Louis in 1904 he urged
r.ne nomination of General Cockrell,
of Missouri, a gallant confederate
soldier, while the southern democ
racy lined up behind Judge Parker,
of New York, following the lead of
Senator John W. Daniel, of Vircinh
who declared' that he was "tired nr
being defeated." 0l
It can not be doubted that General
Cockrell would have made a stronger
run than Judge Parker did; in all
probability he would have carried
Missouri, which Parker failed to do
And Judge Parker and his friends
had a platform to their liking, and
to make assurance doubly sure, the
candidate sent his' famous gold tele
gram. With Mr. Bryan it is not p. ques

Governor Johnson nor Governor
Glenn. He is' not seeking the nomin
