FAT TRAVELLERS
Live on Grape.Nuts.

When one looks at commercial travel CTS, round, smooth and we'll kept, it Is hard to believe that any of them have to be particular about the selection of food, but many of them do nevertheless, and their care in this respect Is one cause of their healthy appearance.
 Frank W. Clarke, who travels for Ar buckle Bros, says that he began using Grape-Nuts Food when he found 1t on hotel menu, and ever since that time has eaten Grape-Nuts from one to three times a day, carrying package in his grip, so he could have it whenever the hotels did not serve it.
 He says: About eight years ago dys- pepsia got hold of me and gradually weakened my stomach so that it would not take all kinds of food. I had to drop a number of articles, which Is a hard thing for travelling man to do. Then the question was what could I get to eat that would not distress me?' When I found Grape Nuts Food it solved the problem, and since taking oQ this food my stomach has gradually gotten well so that feel in fine shape
 "The proof of the pudding is In the eating" Grape-Nuts is pre-digested in its manufacture. and can be easily asst inflated by the weakest kind of a stomach, while at the same time it con tains the most powerful elements of nour- ishment, strong in the elements of phos- phate of potash, which, united with albu- men. go to make the gray matter fin the nerve cells and brain. People that are not properly nourished can solve the prob lem by using Grape-Nuts Food.

KENTUCKY CANDIDATE
Col. Sam p. Jones for National Presi-
 dent for the T. p. A.

There is much local and State interest among the commercial travellers of Ala bama over the candidacy of Col Jam P. Jones of Louisville, who is being urged by the Kentucky division, Travellers Protective Association, for national pres ident of the organization.
 Colonel Jones is a brother of George W. Jones of the law department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Montgomery and it is believed that the Alabama division, T. P. A., at it's com ing convention in Selma will endorse his candidcy.
 The Louisville Times of recent date makes the following reference to the Kentucky candidates:
 Kentucky Division, T. P. A., has decid- ed to present the name of Col Sam F. Jones of Louisville to the national con vention in Richmond, Va, next June for national president of the association. Colonel Jones Is well and favorably known here in Loisville. From inside cir cles 1t is believed that the ohanches for MT Jones' success are far above those of other candidates. He Is a charter mem- Der of the association, having been one of the organizers, and during its entire existence has been a very active member. He served one term on the national board of director rs and has been mentioned sev- eral times for the presidency, but did not consider the time ripe in previous years to allow his friends to present his claim to the national convention. Now that he has decided to allow Kentucky divis- ion to present his name as their cand- date it is believed that the honor will be secured for the Kentuckian.
 MT. Jones is a member of the well and widely known firm of Jones Bros, man. ufactures of cider and vinegar, and is one of the most prominent young business men in the city. He is president of the Commercial Club, member of the Board l, of Trade. a prominent Knight Templar. an Elk, and colonel on Governor Beck hams staff. His qualifications for the position with which Kentucky division desire to have him honored, are excep- tional His candidacy has been placed in the hands of Messrs. Nelson Gray, W. L. Farris and J. Augustine Smith, who constitute the campaign committee and they have commenced active work with state divisions all over the country.

"The siun of the Cross.U

The engagement of ''The Sign of the Cross" Wilson Barrett's story of the persecution of the early Christians, at the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday and Thursday and Thursday matinee re- calls the fact that it was the first of the so-called religious dramas which for the last few years have been growing in number and in public favor. Probably to- day no prominent manager would hesitate to invest a large sum of money in the production of a religious play that pos sessed enough of the melodramatic ele- ment to appeal to the lovers of strong emotions and dramatic climaxes. The enormous expense of the elaborate stage effects and costly costumes and access sories provided for General Lew Wallaces Ben Hur' shows the confidence that shrewd men like Klaw and Erlanger have in the drawing powers of such piece. When Wilson Barrett produced "The Sign of the Cross" however, 1t is doubtful if he could have found a man. ager in this country who would have ac- cepted the play on any terms There is little doubt that the instantaneous and prolonged success of the play is responsi- ble for the dramatizaton not only of Ben Hur" but also for the rest of the recent dramas that at the present time are making money out of the indorsement of the clergy and the patronage of ''non- theatre-goers."
 The sale of seats will commence this morning.

ness of duty will still surround us, to pain us whenever 1t has been violated, and to console us so far as God hay have given us grace to perform it., Emmanuel Kant said: "There are two things that fill me with awe-the star-sown deeps of space at night and the moral law in man" And Jesus. greater than all men combined, said: But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" The sense of obligation is universal, but the degree of 1t is determined by the knowledge, the opportunities and the light one has. The uniform teaching of the Bible Is that men will be judged according to their light. He to whom much has been given, of him, much will be required. Our Lord speaking of the faithful and unfaithful stewards, concludes with these words And that servant which knew his Lords will and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whom much is given, of him. shall much be required"
 5 This law works in all departments of human life. Men are held responsible for what they know they ought to do. Every mans responsibilities are in proportion to his light, his knowledge, his opportun- tiles. Indeed every man Is responsible for what he can know and does know.
 But 1t Is not our purpose to enter into this field of thought; we are concerned about what men know they ought to do and don't do. Gods controversy with us is that me do not live up to our light.
 Doctor McFerrin also spoke of the eff feet on the practical affairs of life, of duty well performed.

FATHER GREELEY
 TRULY GRATEFUL
Expresses His Appreciation of Valiant Work of the Fire
 men and Others

Just before beginning his sermon at high mass at St. Paul's yesterday, the Rev. Father OReilly spoke of the fire Friday night, which destroyed all the vestments and the upper part of the reredos or back of the altar He alluded gratefully to pr. Jones' promptness in giving the alarm, and in the marvelously quick and efficient work of the fire de- partment. A few minutes delay would have resulted in the destruction of the roof Father Reilly said he was greatly impressed with the value of system and experience in a given line of effort as il- lustrated by the firemen; with the impor- tance of having the right men in the right place. He said all the members of the church should thank God that the loss was no greater than it wasA He spoke with good heart remarking that although the albs, chasubles, dalmatcs and copes were burned, the ladies of the Altar So- ciety would, he felt sure, exert themselves and purchase new vestments in little while. Bishop Allen had telegraphed that he would send one set. Father O'Reilly said he was using in the meantime vest ments sent to him from the convent chapel.
 St. Paul's church had rich supply of lace abs, chasubles and copes; as large as most cathedrals have.
 Father OReilly delivered a very elo- quent sermon on Ireland's patron saint, reading the gospel appointed for the feast of St. Patrick instead of the gospel for the fourth Sunday in Lent.
 The altar in St. Pauls church was erected by Louisville firm, and the same firm will probably be invited to submit a design for new reredos, and perhaps new altar. It will hardly be possible to have the work done by Easter.
