Wednesday, March rs, 1902.

We heve seen it stated in several
reputable newspapers, that many lead
ing and prominent Republicans are
opposed to the passage by Congress
Of the Crumpacker resolution to in7es-
tigate the suffrage laws of the South.
They consider. so it is stated, the
measure to be both impolitic and
unwise. The consideration Of the
resolution will direct the attention ct
the public 70 the election laws OF
some of the Northern States and
the contention will be emphasized
that if 9 suffcage franchise based on
an educational and property qualif-
cation is unconstitutional in South
Carolina then it necessarily follows
that an election law based on the
same restrictive qualifications in
Massachusetts is unconstitutional.
Thoughtful Republicans recognize
that this is two-edged sword and
too dangerous to be played with.

Any One Can Do II.

A principal in public school in Ohio
had a food experience that win be IA
miliar to many school teachers.
''rhe hard work of the school room
was so wearing that I was completely
worn out and could barely walk home at
night and at other times was so nervous
that IL was with much difficulty ate or
slept. l attributed my failing health to
improper food, and felt that It would be
necessary to quit my profession or get
some food that would sustain my nerves
Fortunately enough at this juncture
discovered Grape-Nuts and. am very
grateful that I did. After using the food
for a month 1 felt decidedly better and
like a new man resurrected from the
grave. The sluggish feeling, headache
and nervous spells have all left me and
/ feel young and active.
/ can better concentrate my mind up
on my work because my nerves have
been strengthened and my health and
energy has returned and / take interest
in my work which before seemed a bur-
den.
1 use Srape-Nuts every day because it
is the best food for my system, has re-
stored my health and am correspond
