IN MEXICO
At the Top of High Waterfall.

The wife of an electrical engineer
who went with her husband to an out
of-the-way corner of Old Mexico
where the food problem was ever pres
ent had an experience with an Amerl-
can food that was worth while.
MY husbands work took us to the
state of Hidalgo where the power sta
ton was situated at the head of a
gorge where there was a waterfall
SIS feet high. The trail to the top
was winding and difficult and it took
two hours steady climbing to reach it,
SO you see supplies were hard to get
1.-THE nearest village was 8 miles
away and we soon found we could not
get proper food there SO we sent to
Mexico City for timed goods and as
was in an aenemic condition
thought / had to have lots of meats
TO support and strengthen me- /
rarely felt able to get up before noon
couldn't seem to get hold of my
self. but just drifted around miser-
able and nervous all the time.
Finally, seeing so much in print
about Grape-Nuts breakfast food and
Postum Coffee we decided to try them
and before the weeks trial was up
we saw we had solved the difficulty
not only because they are concentrate
ed i'm size and easy to transport but
because their strength is concentrated
and they are so full of nourishment
we abandoned the old coffee and used
Postum Coffee instead and ate Grape
Nuts faithfully. The first month show
ed me a gain of three pounds. Next
we cut out the meat and lived entire
ly on Grape-Nuts food, Postum Cerea
Coffee and fruit and / felt so strong
and vigorous 1 started little garden
did al! the work myself and raised
fresh vegetables which we added t
our diet
Husband soon declared he fel
twice as strong as before and al
though we left there after year ant
returned to the States we will neve
give up our Grape-Nuts and Postum
for the old heavy rich diet and cot
fee again, for we value the fine health
we have gained above everythin,

the length of the public school term
and providing better school facilities
by means of local taxation is becoming
more and more apparent. There are
already 1876 such districts in the State,
151 of which have been established
since the beginning of the campaign
in 1902, and the following elections
have been ordered for May and the
first week in June: One district, Ashe

land county, last of May; Stedman,

joining district in Moore county, early
in June; twelve districts in Guilford
county, vote the last of May,
I'm addition to these there are over
a hundred districts, according to re-
ports received from the different
counties that are agitating the queS-
ton and making preparations to vote
during the summer.
This is not the result of any force
enthusiasm, but it is the result of Z.
gradual and conservative develop
ment-the formation Of a substantial
belief on the part of the thinking peo-
pie that the communities must spend
more money on the children at home.
1t is for the protection of the COM

The old question is being revived,
what shall we do to promote the ne
gro'S moral and religious condition
Might as we'll ask what shall we do to
help the Scotch or the Irish or the
German. Let the negro alone. That
is what we ought to do. Do right by
him and set him the proper example
and he will work out his own prob
lens.
The Wake Forest boys have been
doing some very ragged baseball
work of late, but we are glad that the,
college can produce debaters if its
ball players are somewhat Indifferent.
We are losing no sleep on account of
their bad luck in the baseball bust
ness, which is poor business al
best
1t would be calamity for either
Japan or Russia to WIN q complete
victory over the other. 1t would in
fate Japan with q false pride that
would make her intolerable, and a
victory by Russia would mean woe to
the whole world. 1t is to be hoped
that at the proper time the powers
will step in and stop the whole bust,
ness. dealing as Justly as possible by
both nations in the settlement of the
questions at issue. Our sympathy is
entirely with Japan, who is fighting
for her life, but we doubt that she
would use a victory over Russia with
prudence or wisdom.
Originality is as attractive in a pa
per as it is in man; and toadyism is
as disgusting.

This writer has often been accused

over any other section of the wide
world, we plead guilty to the soft i'm.
parchment We have no sympathy
with any man or movement that looks
to other sections for help to do things
in this State. We do not need other
peoples money, for we have plenty of
our own to do everything that nea1s
to be done. We do not know how it
is with other denominations but the
BaDtiStS have demonstrated that fact
over and over again. We built Il wo-
mans college from the ground. Per-
hapS an attempt or two was made to
pull a little money out of the North,
but if so it failed, and we are glad of
it. There the college standS-the
finest and richest Woman'S college the
State ever had. Wake Forest College
did get q slice of Standard Oil stock,
but while it has been exceedingly
helpful, we could easily have received
as much from our own citizens, and
if we had our college would have been
nearer to the hearts of our people
than it is. Here is the Orphanage,
