THE CONTEST FOR THE
STATE UNIVERSITY.

The contest for the location of the
state educational institutions, as pro-
Yided by the Buchanan bill, passed by
the last session of the legislature, is
attracting attention in adjoining states
IS we'll as in Florida, as evidenced by
the following from the Savannah
News:
The Buckman act, recently passed
by the legislature of Florida, provides
for the creation of state University
and a state female college. But the
act does not say where the institu-
lions shall be located. That point is
left for a decision by the Legislature
OF, a later date. The way is left open
for the towns and cities of the state
to put. in and press their claims for
the institutions, which the towns and
cities are not slow in doing. 1t is de.
sired, of course, that the moral atmos
phere of the college town or towns
shall be irreproachable. Then it is re
uuired that the sites selected shall be
healthy, that the means OF communi
cation shall be good, and that the sit
Iration shall be convenient for the PEG
people of the state.
There are as might be supposed
numerous candidates for each and
both of the colleges. Florida abounds
in well-situated, healthy and progress
siye towns, each of which would be
pleased to have the distinction of being
the seat of state college. The lead
ing candidates seem to be Lake City

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grapefruit

A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired jul
dicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out in the Sunfiower State
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food.
He says:
''For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare
1.-THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispens-
able necessity in my fam1ly's every
day life.
sit has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
! Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
! unwholesome food
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
| physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. l have been
particularly impressed by the bene-
fetal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t clears
No the complexion wonderfully.
"As to it's nutritive qualities, my ex
! perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an Inn
portant consideration for anyone. 1
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power Of resisting fatigue, while
its use involves none of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 11.-(Special)
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa county is that
of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs.
Hart was in bed for eight months and
when she was able to sit up she was
all drawn up on one side and could
not walk across the room. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured her Speaking of her
cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months,
and know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago, and | have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time l started taking them L
was able to make my garden. Nobody
can know how thankful | am to be
cured or how much l feel l owe to
Dodd's Kidney Pills."
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the kid
neys. Cure the kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of the
suffering the human family is heir to
will disappear.
