In every community there are greater
or less number of otherwise good citi-
zens whose desire for st"sng drink they
cannot control and who deserve and
receive the aid and sympathy of their
friends. Leon has her full share of this
unfortunate contingent and the past
few weeks has been a period of suffering
70 themselves and distress to their
friends. The reason for this condition
is well known to the county attorney,
the sheriff. the mayor, the marshal,
justices and constables, being no less
than a low joint in operation near the
depot where whiskey and other drinks
are sold to all corners who have the
price. The so-called hop ale joint in
the Mather building while not so bad
contributes to some extend to these
conditions although it is operated under
the sanction and by the authority Of
our honorable city dads. There are said
to be others but they are more careful
to whom they sell and in consequence
are not quite SO detrimental to the
peace and good order of the community
How long is this state of affairs to con-
tinue? We are not in the habit of find
ing fault or preaching, but it is time
some action was taken and we hope we
will mot have called the attention of
the officers to the condition in vain.

AMERICAN BRAINS.
Brain Workers Require Special Food.

American brain workers have for
some years past been largely using an
especially prepared food for rebuilding
the gray matter of brain and nerve
ccnters. Any man or woman who
cares to make a test by using this
food. Grape Nuts. for Il portion of one
or two meals each day. will find a dis
tinct increase in vigor. and particular
ly in brain power
Then if they feel disposed to know
the reason why, they can have Grape
Nuts analyzed. or take tie analysis of
the London Lancet and the result will
show that the food contains the nat
,,ral phosphate of potash obtained in q
natural way from the cereals. and
q ,bunen obtained in the same way.
These two elements unite together in
the human body to make and rebuild
thc gray matter of which the brain,
solar pleXus and nerve centers are
filled.
These are scientific facts which can
he 3scertained by any careful in
yestigator The food. Grape Nuts. is
MT only the most scientifically made
food in the world. but almost any user
will agree with us that the flavor is
,n;o,e and most winning.
