Proper Food the Most Important Re

lege student of scarcely six score pounds
the pure food Grape Nuts has brought
me, through persistent CONSCIENTIOUS use
to a vigorous young athlete tipping the
beam at 152 pounds. For two years the
food has been to my stomach what pure
air is to the lungs-a source of vlgor,
health and vitality.

stained with the record of lynching and
mob violence closed calmly and quietly
tonight, but it cannot be safely predicted
that the present tranquil condition of af-
fairs will continue. The entire police
force is on duty and one hundred National
Guardsmen are stationed in the armory
ready for duty. Captain Kane, who is in
command of the police. tonight said he
did not look for further trouble.
The bitter feeling exhibited by the whites
and blacks against each other appears to
be rapidly disappearing. There has been
no encounter of the races since Thursday
night. While this is the condition of at
fairs tonight, the police propose to keep
in force for few days longer all the pre-
cautionary measures they have adopted
this week. What is undoubtedly the great
est factor in keeping down disorder is the
closing of the saloons. An order similar
TO the one sent out last night was again
issued this afternoon and everyone OF Will
mington'S $50 saloons closed at O'Clock
to remain closed until midnight Sunday or
Monday morning.
Mayor Fisher to-day sent out a sugges-
ton to the storekeepers to close their
places of business early, but the streets
were crowded tonight with the usual Sat-
urday night shoppers. The crowd was or
derby.
There were no developments to-day d.
rectly connected with the burning at the
stake of George White. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the State and city authorities
will let the matter drop as has been sug-
gested by some of the leading citizens.
