FOOD FACTS
What an M. o. Learned.

A prominent physician of Rome,
Georgia, went through food expert
ence which he makes public:
'Tt was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and also know from having pre-
scribed 1t to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food Is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer Of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle.
It improves the digestion and sick
patients always gain just as did In
strength and weight very rapidly.
ct was In such low state that had
to give up my work entirely and go to
the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not improve me; In
fact was not quite as well as when
left home. Ny food absolutely re-,
fused to sustain me and 1t became
plain that must change, then began
to use Grape-Nuts food and in two
weeks I could walk a mile without the
least fatigue and In five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice, TAX
inC up hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as we'll and strong as
I ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers consider 1t a duty to
make these facts public" Name CIV

bill which has passed the house and
is pending in the senate, providing
for the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as one state. AID Oklahoma
and the Indian territory as another.

Aorning Post Thought Company W.
Improving Entire System.

The Morning Post makes the fell
lowing comment on the position OF
Wilmington towards the Seaboard Air
Line:
W. know hat the company has
been exerting itself to improve the
Service. as well as the physical con-
dition of the line, from Richmond
and Portsmou South and have sue
ceeded and we had thought the same
until the complaints but now just
made by The Messenger AND others
of Wilmington to hat portion from
that city to the main line at Hamlet.
or this latter we only know what our
Wilmington friends say. and while
we believe they would not make such
complaints without cause, we
must add that we also believe as we
hope that the railroad management
will remedy any injustice or neglect
hat our friends of our chief seaport
may suffer. The Seaboard can afford
to be liberal in its efforts to promote
the welfare Of Sc good a section, one
so promising of improvement and
patronage as that extending from
Hamlet TO FWilmington-indeed all
along the line from the Seaboard to
the mountains. We believe President
Barr and his associates are doing
their utmost to make their great sys-
tenn one Of the best, therefore one Of
the greatest usefulness, and will not
believe they will intentionally or
carelessly neglect SO important a sec
tion as that for which The Messenger
now contends"
