A Drug Mans wisdom That Counts.

A Drug Mans wisdom That Counts.
It's shrewd man who. while in the
drug business, learns that although
drugs are all right in their place, the
use of proper food will make medicine
unnecessary in the majority of cases.

strangely prepared meals at irregular
hours, / contracted dyspepsia, accom-
panied by nervousness, loss of sleep and
consequently loss of energy. / often

tough feeling which makes one look On

the shadows of life rather than the

Many thousands of men under the cir
cumstances would have resorted to
stimulation from drugs or liquor.

Grape-Nuts about a case similar to my

JACKSONVILLE RECEPTION.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 21.-One of
the most brilliant social functions of
the season was the reception given
last night by Mr.. and Mrs. B. Frank
Dillon at their handsome home on the
Boulevard. In spite of the unfavor-
able weather, the number of guests in
attendance was very large, and the re-
ception will be recorded as one of the
most successful and thoroughly enjoy
able affairs of the kind that have ever
been held in Jacksonville. The recep-
ton was given to introduce Mr. and

The interior decorations of the house
were in exquisite taste. White roses
and chrysanthemums were the pre-
vailing flowers and decorated the par
lor in profusion, while a further touch
was added by the ferns and palms and
the dainty arrangement of plumosa on
the walls.
One Of the most beautiful features
was the decoration of the alcove at the
extreme end of the wide hallway. A
wealth of flowers, palms and wreaths
of snilax made this a charming nook
In front of it was the punch table,
which was presided over by Mrs.
Cromwell Gibbons. Mrs B. B. Pope,

WHY RATES ADVANCED.
Southern and the Chesapeake and
Ohio Made Answer.

Ohio Made Answer.
Washington, Jan. 21.-The Southern
Railway has filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission an answer to
the request for it's reasons for adj
vancing freight rates on grain, dress
ed meats and other commodities. The
Southern says the advances were made
on domestic grain and grain products,
export grain, grain oil. grain syrup,
glucose, grape sugar and glucose syr-
UP, effective Dec. 8. and export pro-
visions and dressed beef, effective Jan.
]. last.
Fourth Vice President Culp said that
while the figures which took effect on
these dates are advances over the rates
in effect Immediately prior thereto,
they are not advances above the stand
ard rates, and explains the statement
by showing the competitive relations
between the trunk lines and the
Southern.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
In it's answer, said the commodity
rates now advanced had been advance
ed on an especially low basis to facil-
itate the movement of that class Of
traffic and were subject to change, and
the present advance, it claims, is not
at all in proportion to the extent of
the change in the conditions of cost of
transportation and in the value of the
commodities transported. The answer
says that the road cannot consent to
an inference that its rates are I'M
fair or unreasonable or to an acknowl-
edgment that it cannot fix it's own
rates so long as they are on such rea-
sonable and proper basis.

10 to % per cent. increase over the
wages of last year. There were also
demands made for a change in the diff
ferentials between machine and pick
mining.
Other, resolutions, referred to the
Scale Committee, insisted that the

HER NEW GOVERNOR

SOUTH CAROLINA.

House of Representatives. Was
witnessed by Ladies-BIack ROBBED
officials Loaned StateIiness and
Dignity to the Scene-The New
Governor Enters Upon His First
Administration of the Duties of "a
Political ONCE.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 21.-To-day at
noon Capt. D. c. Hayward of Colleton
county was inaugurated into the duties
of the Governors Office, the ceremonies
being conducted in a most impressive
manner.
The Inauguration was held in the
hall of the House of Representatives
The galleries were crowded with rep
resentative people, and the chairs on
the floor of the House were occupied
by the first women of Carolina. Mrs.
Insolvency., Mrs. Hayward and other
ladies of their party were seated i'm
mediately in front of the Speakers
rostrum.
When the approach of the Cover
nor's party was announced by the SER
geant-at-arms, the joint assembly
arose, and the distinguished company
threaded its way through the closely
packed aisles to the Speakers desk,
where the ceremonies were to take
place.
The joint assembly was presided over
by ex-Gov. John C. Sheppard of Edge
field, president of the State Senate. In
the official party on the Speakers ros-
trum were Gov. Hayward, the retiring
Governor, Miles B. insolvency, Chief
Justice Y. ]. Pope, Associate Justices
Eugene B. Gary and Ira B. Jones; the
retiring state officers and their success
sors.
The picture on the rostrum was very
impressive. The chief justice and the
associate justices in their black judi
cial robes, the president of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House, in their
state gowns of purple, and the black
robed clerks of the two bodies gave
the scene an air of stateliness and dig
nifty. In some states the wearing of
the robes has been abandoned. but in
South Carolina the old customs are
closely observed.
Ex-Gov. Sheppard having announced
the purpose of the joint assembly, Gov.
Hayward then advanced to the right of
the presiding officer and Chief Justice
Pope to the left. The chief Justice
presented the oath of office, which was
assented to verbally, and afterwards
subscribed to by the new Governor.
After Gov. Heywards address, the
formality as to the oath of office was
observed with the Lieutenant Govern
or, Col. John T. Sloane

was TO sign the commission of the new
secretary of state, Jesse T. CAN'T. The

Jones, Controller General; o. B. Mar
tin, Superintendent of Educatfon; r.
H. Jennings, State Treasurer; John D.
Frost, Adjutant General.
Gov. Hayward has not until to-day
held political office, and his election
without previous training was almost
a political phenomenon. He is a de-
scendant of the Heywards of Revo-
lutionary days, who were leaders In
Colonial and Congressional services.
