An official OF the United States gov
eminent is making himself quite
prominent in county politics, and
seems to take delight in taking Re-
publican candidates over the country.
The Republicans in this county seem
to be scared, and it is no wonder, as
the taxes, and no payment of the coun-
ty finances. The county Republican
candidates dare not speak of taxes or
the county debt. Hon. Albert Law
renee and Mr.. C. C. Cutshaw, who
are candidates for the Legislature
should have the support of every voter
who wishes that the government of the
State needs careful watching.

was spent in this city. He was 60
years of age, and had been in the gro
Gerry business in this city for thirty
years. His life was one to be ad-
mired, as he was quite in his demeanor

surmountable by US, but when we tell
God about it and get him to help US the
difficulties disappear"
The speaker related how Mr.. Moody
met man one day in Chicago and ask
ed him II he was Christian. The man
was a slave TO drink. He said he would
stop. He did for time. but fell. He
tried again, and again he failed, and
again and again be failed. One day in
the meeting the man got down on his
knees and told God about his terrible
diffieulty-his overmastering habit. lie
asked God TO show him how to over
come II. He talked It over with God
Il saw him when he rose from his
knees, after God had showed him how.
He was a marvellously changed man.
His expression was changed. Despair
had given place to confidence. He had
found out how to talk to God and who
Christ was. For the fourteen years
from that time to his death he never
touched or tasted liquor. l tell you the
trouble is you men do not understand
who you are talking TO when you talk
with each other. Oh. il We could get
nearer to each other then we would get
nearer to God"
What you need is; To see clearly
what is to be done TO find out the best
method of doing II. and to do it with
the best Of your ability and with Gods
help There must be a clear under
standing of the fact that men need
God
Every man feels that somewhere
there ought to be help, and there is-in
Christ.
We have come understanding oftea

Paul, something which will enable him

after finding it said: I am not asham-
ed of the gospel OF Jesus Christ for It
is the power of God unto salvation We
must believe this if We expect TO be

The speaker related stories of Moo
dy's work in England and others illus
trated of his subject. He urged MS
audience to accept Christ.
For the sake of your family do H..
For your own sake do it. For society's
sake do it" said the speaker.

AN OFFICERS WIFE
Comments On the Food Question,

..I had a very curious experience with food and its relation to the body. Some time ago from unavoidable exposure to high wind for some time, l was attacked seriously with neuralgia in the head, which ultimately became chronic and l suffered much, as added to the pain 1 had a strange roaring or surging sound in my head, which kept me awake at night, and was of the most unpleasant character.
 Tt was not in the ears, but seemed in the very center of the head, and was eX- tremely distressing. Occasionally l had dizziness come over me with a strange roaring Medicines seemed to produce no beneficial result. I finally concluded that the famous brain food known as Grape Nuts would be the proper thing for me to use, and I started in, using it every day.
 At once I began to recover; the neuralgia pains left and steadily and surely the distressing roaring in my brain, which had so tortured me, began to disappear 1t grew fainter and fainter with long spells of rest between the re- turn of the hateful noises, until, in a comparatively short time, they stopped completely and entirely.
 q am now permanently free from this distressing affliction My head is entirely well and strong, With that bright feeling which we refer to as clear as a bell" Arart from the wonderful value of the food, it is a most delicious article. and I can assure you l have an ardently con suming affec:y1-l for it.
 This is a plain, honest statement of my case and what Grape-N Nuts food has done for me. I shall ever be grateful from my heart that it has been given to the world and have feen one of the for tunate people to use 1t. neglected to say that I have gained remarkably in my general health and strength and in flesh also since beginning the use of Grape Nuts. I have not had an opportunity to weigh myself, but my appearance is suf- ficient. Please kindly withhold my name from publication If you use this letter" The lady is located at the government fort at Omaha Neb Name given upon application to Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.

few and far between. At Miss Mary Thompson's school, at Five Points. the day was celebrated very happily, an in- teresting programme of songs, marches and reeitations being given by the older pupils, as well as by the children in the kindergarten department. of which Miss Emily Koenig is in charge.
 There were many visitors, and "at the appointed hour, as they say of we'd dings Miss Koenig struck up the familiar chords of the Washington Post.
 The door opened and in fiuttered dog ems of rosy-cheeked. bright-eyed child ren, each one fiutterlng an American flag. Then there was patriotic greeting by Louise Munger and a little verse by Vir- ginia Abbott, which was followed by the entire school singing the Star Spangled Banner" which was the occasion of much tluttering of flags, and the atmosphere was ahame with stars and stripes. Ar thur Evans made a patriotic little talk of three seconds, and the Kindergarten CTS then sang in concert. Helen Thomp- son was among the bright ad attractive little girls who recited. Then there was Rebecca Thornton, Sara Wilson, Lucy Pinchard, Bland Tomlinson, whose 'Rockaby Baby" was enthusiastically encored.
 Among the other children there were Elizabeth Morris, Ruth McTafe, Kath- leen Vanhouse, Nettie Cosby, Martha Bradshaw, Mary Bradshaw, Johnnie Mae Grass, Hettie Sibley, Marian Pinchard, Mary Bryan, Lillian Orr and many oth- CTS.
 There were many patriotic airs sung and verses recited, while the exercises concluded with the entire school singing America" It was inspiring little scene, dozens of little ones lifting their sweet voices and singing My Country 'Tis of Thee" After this there was a calisthenic exercise and then a scramble for hats and cloaks and the little process sion futtered out again.

TOO MUCH DRILL.
Artillery Batteries in South Africa
 Have to Wait Too Long.

London, February 22.-There is consid- erable comment in military circles on ac- count of communication from the war office which appears in army orders at Aldershot today, discontinuing General Buffers views of the training of artil- lery, announced by him February at Aldershot, and which are to the effect that too much drill was introduced into this arm, while on the battlefield the ac- tion of batteries being paralyzed in many cases by awaiting the orders of brigade or a division commander, many favorable opportunities would be missed. The criti- cisms therein were intended for the guid- ance of General Buffers command. The war office now invites General Butler to cancel the portion of the memorandum relating to artillery, and military men are wondering if Lord Roberts is de- srous of seeing General Butler retire.
