Some People.
Loading I'D with white bread and
starchy cereals is quite sure to ultimate
~ bring on some disorder of the bowels
and is Frequently the cause OF appendi-
cluis.
The starches are not digested in the
upper stomach, but are treated in the
duodenum and from there on down
through the whole length of the bowels.
Consequently, il too much starchy food
is used, particularly white bread, trou-
BILE is likely to set up. White bread does
not contain the diastatic principles which
nature placed in the wheat berry to help
digest starch, but the white flour miller
leaves that part out.
Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food was per-
fected purposely to supply the starch OF
the cereals and other parts Intended nv
nature for use, and presents them to the
body in form that will easily be di-
rested. In fact, they are predigested by
Z a natural means during the process OF
manufacture, so that one can get all the
energy and value from that sort Of food
without overlooking the organs.
A man from Brantford, Ont, says:
Tor the first twenty years Of my life l
lived out of doors, then took up my
present employment, which is indoors,
and requires the exercise OF the BRAIN
rather than the body.
Gradually a languid feeling took pos
session of me, which developed into dys-
pepsia, and Iater into constipation
These conditions continued for several
years in spite Of pills and laxatives
without number. After time I began

and from time to time with cramps in
the bowels. which usually aid me no for
three or four days. Finally the physi-
clan discovered that was on the point
Of appendicitis. After one Of these Sc

Major James D. Patton, President Rich-

call that for more than a year past !
have repeatedly called your attention to
the danger, both to persons and
as fire risk. of high voltage electric
currents for lighting purposes within
buildings. I am aware that the sug-
gested withdrawal will subject this COM
pany to considerable loss of revenue.
and will entail the severance OF business
relations from some who for many years
have been our patrons. but the time has
now arrived. in my opinion, for this COM

electrical distribution by continuing to

Resolved, That the superintendent OF

Much Progress,
Yesterday.

There was distinct advance made
yesterday towards settlement OF the
suffrage question.
1t was decided that soldiers OF the
Civil War who draw as high as nifty
dollars per year in pensions should not
be excused from the prepay ment OF q
poll tax. This will meet objections that
negro soldiers would be allowed to vote
under the original Glass plan. Most Of
them get Federal pensions amounting to
500 per year and are well able to pay the
poll tax.
In the afternoon session, after a pro-
tracted debate and much parliamentary
s1naneuvering, a vote was reached on the
property qualification, and that matter
was eliminated from future discussion
by the decided vote of 20 to so against it
There was determined and persistent
effort to get vote on the understanding
principle, but a ruling of the Chair
against two resolutions looking to that
end was sustained. In this fight Messrs.
Daniel and Thorn stood side by side In
opposition to the effort and in support
i OF the correctness of the ruling Of the
admirable presiding officer.

would tend to d1sfranchise "a single c1t1-
zen OF Virginia, except for crime and
ether legal disabilities. But the colored
man man was not born to suffrage. He did
not achieve It. It was thrust upon him and
the ballot pinned to it with bayo-
net. He had the victorious army Of the
United States to back him. and represent
ing over 100000 soldiers fushe with vic
tory to escort him to the polls.
& The speaker recounted the powerful
political organization into which the coll
ored men we're formed by these influences
and the reign of corruption and demorall-
cation which followed in the South. He
mentioned these matters, he said, in ex-
tenuation OF the conduct Of the negro in
the exercise of the suffrage.
"A NEW SENTIMENT. a
& He next referred to the change that had
been going on in public sentiment, brought
about by acquiring a large mass Of I'M
.cilized population in new territory, and
said in this connection.if his name had not
been signed to it, the message of the Pre-
sident referring to government in the
Philippines and Porto Rico would have
been considered as written by q. Democrat.
Anybody, he declared could get a
pen and ink and paper and draw suf-
frage scheme. Any one could draw a
stern, efficient and rigid disfranchising
law It was not that which was wanted,
and If it was the cost Of 1t must first be
counted. The white man at all times and
everywhere, armed or unarmed, was In
.vincibIe against any inferior race.
The condition in Virginia was Infinitely
better so far as, the race question was
concerned than any other Southern State.
There was here no danger whatever, but
that white supremacy was q fact. Every
tick Of the clock reduced by negroes leav-
ing the State the number Of their voters
and increased the white population by
new voters coming in. There were un-
doubtedly sections Of the State in which
the colored voter was yet a menace to
good government, and 1t was to that con-
dition which solutions Of the problem
must be applied
RACE QUESTION.
The settlement of the race question was
a question of the ages. Nothing but the
Providence of God in His own good time
could settle that. And it must be remem-
bered that there was no disqualifying
cause in the suffrage plan which touched
codored man that did not touch two
white men.
