DIR. J. II. Hanaford, one of the Oldest
physicians in Reading, Mass, says in
the Practical Age: ~ firmly believe
that MIR. Post has rendered greater
service to humanity than any other man
living, in the matter of food.
He claims, with propristy. l think,
that his new food, Grape-Nuts, made
from the most nourishing elements of
the grains, contains nourishment in one
pound equal to ten Of. meat. wheat, cats
or bread.
From the acquaintance that have had
with this unusually nutritious article.
am satisfied the statement 10 truthful and
demonstratable. am inclined to believe
the food will effect considerable Of a rev.
olution In society. to the extent that 1t
Is introduced"
This was written by DIR. Hanaford sew
ernl months ago. The rapid spread Of
the uss of Grape-Nuts all over the ooun-
try has demonstrated tha5 the Doctors
prophecy has already come true. to an sx-
tent, ct least. Perhaps never before In
the history Of fond manufacture has saoh
rapid progress been made as with Grape
Nuts. 1t especially appeals to brain
workers.

SOUTH FREEPORT ROUTE.
Must he Taken by the Lewiston, Bruns-
wick q Bath Electric Road.

The Lewiston, brunswick and Bath
Electric Road IL it builds its road from
brunswick 10 Yarmouth must so by the
way of south Freeport or not ut all. This
question was decided BY u large majority
OF the citizens Of Ereeport who Assem- tiled
In special town meeting yesterday after
noon to take action Oh this matter. The
road wanted to build its lin, directly
to Yarmouth without going through
South Freeport. 1t was claimed that to
construct the road by the way OF South
Freeport would COST the company $4,000
more than It would to build IL directly to
Freeport without the South Freeport
loop. In addition to this 1t was claimed
that the operating expenses of the road
would be much heavier If the tracks were
laid through South Freeport.
At this special town meeting there was
large attendance and considerable
oratory. Judge Enooh Foster appeared
before the nesting In favor of South
Freeport's claim. He made a strong and
able argument and IL was evident that
the sympathies OF the meeting were with
him. Hon. Herbert III. Heath of Augusta
represented the electric road. He said
that the company would build spur
track to South Freeport eventually and
thus accommodate that section of the
town. When vote was finally taker IL
was found that the town was in favor Of
the road taking the South Frseport route.

The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-09-05

To the Editor: / have just read the
resolutions passed by the Democratic club
of Apex, ~ c., and they have expressed
my position in the matter, and it should be
the sentiment of the coming Congressicn-
al convention of this district.
The first question that should be decid-
ed by this convention, is whether it will
nominate a Democrat or a Populist. T.
the convention is so unwise as to decide
to go out of its party to select a man TO
represent it in Congress, the party and
the men that that are in favor and ad-
vocating such policy will be rebuked at
the polls in November, and it is nothing
but Just and right that they should be.
The Democratic party is under no obli-
cations to any one out side Of the party,
but any one that has received the sup
port of the Democratic party for any
office is under obligations to the party
for that office, that it has received at their
hands.
The party was so unwise two years ago
as not to nominate a Democrat. and if
they do other wise in the coming conven-
ton the voters of this district will not
support any such candidate.
The people have a right to demand a
straight Democrat, Zone without Popu-
list tinge,) and will ask it at the con-
vention.
Very respectfully.
