Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competer authori-
ties. They have ,dispelled the silly no.
tion that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
part. Yet, however good your food
may be-, it's nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
STIMULATES the liver to healthy action,

WHAT. NsWsHRRY NEEDS.
A Board Of Trade or board Of Commerce to
Look to the Guys Interests.

The business men Of Newberry needs
to awake to the interests of their city
and see that it Is coming to the from,
and keeping up with other cities of its
size in the State and throughout the
South.
We read in our exchanges from neigh
boring towns where the Board of Trades
or Board of Commerce of those towns
are holding meetings and taking up and
advocating movements that will benefit
their city and, of course, themselves.
This is what Newberry needs, and
why is it that some wide-awake citi-
zens do not take The initiative and call
meeting to organize such board.
There are several things right at this
time which such body could take up
and by agitating put on foot movements
that would, in the end, result in much
good for Newberry.
For instance, there is but little doubt,
if we had Board of Trade and the
matter of union depot, which is at
the present time pressing need for
the convenience and accommodation of
the public, was taken up, it would re-
suit in one being erected, or the coming
together of both roads in such move
ment.
Then again the subject of steel
bridges across Scott's creek, near the
depot, to take the place of the danger
GUS and slightly trestles now there,
could be taken up and presented to the
railroads, which might result in the
erection of new bridges-meaning an
expenditure of several thousands dol
lars here and something that would
prove an ornament instead of an eye
sore.
Then there is the much talked of Bell
Telephone question, in the solution of
which a Board of Trade could do much.
Some of these things do not come
properly before city council for solu

city. People generally revolt at the
idea of even having the appearance of
being driven to do thing.

much by having different committees

lasting and untold improvements.
