THE WHOLE FAMILY
Benefits by Pure Food.

1t has happened in a great many
cases that one member Of a family has
begun the use of the scientific food
Grape-Nuts, and some of the other
members have taken up the food and
while enjoying it's delicious flavor have
been cured of various ailments and
diseases which had sprung from the
use of improper food. A lady of ST.
Paul, Mimi, gives an instance of this.
She says, Our year and half old
baby has been changed by Grape-Nuts
from an i'll nourished child, suffering
constantly from colds and general
weakness to fit subject for a baby
food picture.
when we began to give her Grape
Nuts and milk we stopped all other
foods and the improvement was so
rapid that we could note the change
from week to week. Baby was made
we'll and strong.
''But when I suggested it to my hus-
band who had chronic dyspepsia ter
ribly he said, I have dieted enough. A
man may as well die as to live on
health foods But 1 persisted and one
morning I served Grape Nuts and
cream to him. When he tasted it he
was most agreeably surprised. For the
first time in months his stomach and
food agreed with each other and since
that time he has improved until he is
a staunch advocate of this delicious
food. 49,
From our family the use of Grape
Nuts spread to our friends and one in
particular was very delicate and always
sick, One day our physician DR.. Ball.
said to her, Go home and make it your
business to eat Grape-Nuts. Eat it
morning, noon and night She follow
ed the doctors order literally and fire.
quently made GrapeNuts into pudd-
ings and other dishes. The results have
been a surprising gain in flesh and she
is now entirely free of ali illness, ner-
vousness and is rapidly getting strong
again" Name furnished by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There are scientific reasons why this
food is as valuable to one member of
the family as to another. 1t is perfect
for athletes yet at the same time is
pre-digested and no stomach is so weak
1t will not relish the food.

COW THIEF CAPTURED.
The Police Gather Another Recruit for
the Chain Gang.

Henry Smith, colored. was arrested
Saturday morning for rstealing a COW and
calf from Pleasant Scarborough, an
old negro woman who lives few miles
east of this city.
The theft was committed during the
night, and early Saturday morning
Smith drove the COW and calf up to Z. E.
Walkers house on Council Street and
offered them for sale for sI5. Walker
agreed to buy them and had Smith to
turn them into his lot. He told
Smith to go down to his store for the
money. The police were notified and
Officer II. H. Smith went to Walkers
store and arrested the COW thief who
was waiting there for payment. The
COW and calf have been returned to the
old woman, and Henry Smith has been
committed to Jail by Magistrate
Wells.
Smith is the tenth or twelfth COW
thief captured, within the past few
months, by the police, but 1T seems
that COW thieves continue to regard
Sumter as a good market for stolen
cattle in spite Of the fate Of the many
who have fallen into the hands of the
police and are now on the chain gang.

IRRIGATION IN The SOUTH.
Important Government Report in
the Process Of Preparation.

Its quite likely that some time with
in the coming six or eight months,
says the Washington Post, Prof. Mead,
of the department. of agriculture, will
write a paper on the subject of irriga-
tion east of the Rocky Mountains,
with special reference TO the South.
Several years ago Mr.. Hamilton Yam
cey, agent for she department in
Northern Georgia, who owns a large
farm in the Coosa Valley, Cherokee
County, Alabama, decided to try the
experiment. of irrigation on his place
to ascertain whether or not it could be
proftably employed in the South. The
farm in question lies in bend of the
Coosa River and is almost level.
The soil, rich. heavy loan, retains
water for a considerable period after
rains, and for years past it has pro-
duced heavy crops Of corn and cotton.
So long as the rainfall was regular Mr..
Yancey was certain of reaping large
quantity of grain from this island, but
for the past three season this district
in question has suffered from the
effects of prolonged droutb, and as a
result the crops have proven failures.
Early last season Mr.. Yancey applied
to the department requesting informa-
tion as to the manner Of constructing
an irrigating plant, and in response
Prof. Mead dispatched Mr.. W. H.
Code to the scene, who erected on
Mr.. Yancy's farm an irrigating ma
chine, or pump, with a capacity of
1000 gallons and operated by means of
35-horse power engine.
The water, lifted from the Coosa
River to height Of 80 feet through
1O-inch pipe and distri buted over
the land. brought results that were
astonishing. At the time the plant
was erected the corn crop on the land
was suffering from a drouth, the stalks
being little over three feet in height.
In three weeks after the plant began
operations Mr.. Yancey rode through
the field on horseback and from his
lofty perch was barely able to see over
the tops of the stalks. Mr.. Mead
states that as result Of this expert
ment, which has been pretty we'll ad
vertised throughout the South, there
is a growing interest in irrigation
throughout that section and inquiries
and request are coming from many
quarters of the Trans Ohio region from
farmers who desire information and
who reside in places which now ard
then are visited by severe dry spells.
The interest in the foregoing lies in
the fact that the Yancey farm is the
first upon which irrigation has been
practiced in the South and the second
to adopt means of artificial watering
east Of the Mississippi River, the first
having been the old Newell farm, near
Boston, Mass, upon which the father
of irrigation in the United States,
Mr.. Fredeick Haynes Newell, spent
his boyhood.

THE EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
Some Sumter People Felt the Earth
Tremble Friday Night.

The earthquake shock at s. II
Friday night was felt quite distinctly
by many people in Sumter, but the
tremor was so slight that no alarm
was created, although the more ner-
vous were somewhat excited and ap-
prehensive of other and more severe
shocks during the night. But as there
was no repetition of the seismic dis
turbance during the night the tempo
rary excitement has passed off.
The shock was felt throughout the
county, and it is stated by four or i've
gentlemen who were IN town
Saturday that similar rumbling noises
we're heard twice during the after
noon. AS these gentlemen live in
widely separated sections it is quite
clear that the noises they heard about
O'Clock in the afternoon were not
due to local causes, e. wagon crossing
a bridge for instance, but to dis
turbance of the earth's crust.
