A FOOD LESSON.
That Will Never Be Forgotten.

A young lady says: 81 was sick for
over a year from what the doctors called
Typhoid Malaria fever and had cold sweats
most all that time. l had tremendous
appetite and was allowed to eat anything
1 pleased until my stomach finally gave
out so that l could not even take toast
water without its fermenting and giving
me much misery and distress.
II became so discouraged and down
hearted after several years pasesd without
getting well; in fact l only convaesced
enough to be taken out for a short drive
each day and was always brought back
so tired that I would resolve not to go
again. L lost over so pounds. Changing
physicians / was advised to go to the
mountains and finally went to the ALE
ghanys. At my boarding house lady at
the table ordered GrapeNuts for break
fast. l had never heard of it before so
asked her about the food and she told
me it had done her SO much good and
suggested that 1 order some which l did.
| liked it and used it while | stayed there
several weeks and found to my surprise
that it agreed with my delicate stomach
and 1 soon began to feel better nourished
and got so strong l could take long walks
and not feel tired. My weight began to
come back and that haggard look vanish
ed from my face.
Il found that GrapeNuts was just what
l needed and when | returned home | still
continued using it and for more than two
years now / have hardly ever missed a
day without eating Grape-Nuts. After
my friends saw what Grape-Nuts did for
me 1t was not hard to persuade them to
give the food trial.
TO sum 1T all up / am now better than
have feit tor a number of years, can work
all day and sleep all night and eat quite
hearty OF almost any food after l have
made my breakfast of Grape Nuts and rich
cream l have gained back all the weight
that l want and am now happy and con.

THIS VETERAN WOULD COME.
But the Bread, Coffee and Straw Proposition
Doesn't Set Well on His Palate.

| To the Editor: / was once a young
man. On the 26th day of June, 1862, !
was q years of age. My old home in the
State of North Carolina was at that time
under going the misfortunes of war.
believing (as I did that she needed every
! loyal son, both young and old to fight her
battles, left my home in Currituck county
with eleven other Currituck boys, and
started for Raleigh. 1t was not then, as
now, plenty of steam boats and railroads
and we had to walk most of the way,
| leaving a poor old afflicted mother and
| little helpless sisters behind to take the
chances of the cold charities of the world.
We reached Raleigh and enlisted and went
tArough the war; were engaged IN many
of the hard fought battles, all the way
| from Savannah, Ga, to Cold Harbor, Va,
including the seige of Charleston, the cap
| ture of Plymouth the destructive charge
of Fort Harrison on the James River, Va.
All the hot fighting around Petersburg,
| Drewry's Bluff Bamuda Hundred and
that great battle of Cold Harbor, Va,
where we killed and wounded $4,000
Yankees in about eight hours, and many
other wonderful things we did
Now we are all old and most gone. |
have ever since the war, wanted to go to
Raleigh to a reunion, and when l saw
| this spoken of in the News and Observer,
my heart leaped with joy. the statement
being that Raleigh would give us old
wrecks a good time. The further state
ment says the proposition Is to give MS
some bread and coffee and straw. Is
there much of a good time in this? /
want to go. l want to meet General
Carr, General Ransom, Colonel London,
Major Emory, Judge Walter Clark and
as many more as possible, but the very
best 1 can do it will cost me $1,000 10
make the trip. If there was free trans
portation arranged for us, and something
to go with our bread and coffee, it would
not be so bad.
l thought that the last legislature
passed an act allowing the Railroad COM
panies to grant free passes to exConfed-
crate soldiers if they choose to do so. I
have been to many encampments, but the
one at Wrightsville in 1892, was the best
have ever seen. Is it possible that Raj
eigh, our grand old capital, cannot or will
not do any better for us than some bread,
coffee and straw. One man mot a sol
dier) asked me if they expected us to
eat the straw. | told him no, that was
for us to lodge on.
l want to go, but don't know how 1t
will be. l wish that General Carr owned
all of Wall Street, and all the cash there,
and he would feed all the old Vets. L
know him. his heart is larger than the
Blue Ridge Mountains.

A Fascinating subiect.

American history, properly presented,
is enc OF the most absorbing OF all
studies. Historical works are divided in
to two schools, the narrative and the
philosophical; and among the earliest
histories that We're ever written is q
masterpiece in each OF these kinds.
Herodotus is one Of the best story-tellers
that ever lived, and most of his stories
are both true and to the point
Thucydides, who wrote about four
hundred years before Christ, is one OF
the clearest of all writers on the causes
and motives of history. Then for many
centuries most OF the so. called historians
were potterers, each repeating the things
that his predecessors had stated wrong.
The modern science OF historical writing
really began about century end halt
ago, with Edward Gibbon, Whose ellis
tory OF the Decline and Fall of the
Roman Empire" shows how ancientry
gave place to the modern world.
Gibbons style is like the march of an
array, with horsemen prancing, foot
soldiers stepping as with a siDgie foot,
regiment after regiment, corps after corps
banners flying, drums beating, and
trumpets sounding, in a gorgeous pro-
cess1on. "Gibbouo is still one of the
best books to read, full OF people, full
OF stirring events, the real life OF a
stirring t1me.-Success.
