A BOYS BREAKFAST
There's a Natural Food That Makes
Its Own Way

There's boy up In Hoosick Falls.
N. Y, who is growing into sturdy
manhood on Grape-Nu breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
my 11-year-oid boy ~ large, well
developed and active. and has been
made SO by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At five years he was a
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks of indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until I
tried Grape-Nuts, and | have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
food. It Is always relished by him
and he says that 1t satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of meal.
Better thai all he Is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be splendidIy
developed fellow since he began TO
use Grape-Nuts food" Name given by

Expanding Industry in the South.

In the race for wealth the Southern
farmer is abreast of the Western
granger and the Northern manufacture
er. He is no longer hampered by pow
erty and tradition. From all over
the South come reports of expanding
industries. 1t Is computed that farm
properties in the II states that once
seeded from the Union have risen in
value more than $1,000, 100000 in two
years The average yield of these
lands since this century began Is $780,
100000 a year greater than 1t was in
the pI eceding six years. The South
now not only grows Cotton for the
world, but manages the marketing OF
it. The speculator, who once got all
the cream, gets it no longer. The
planter Is strong enough to fight his
own battle, which means that he can
defend his own property

few minutes later. The police were
notified and went in search of Jim
Jenkins, also colored. Jennie jenkins,
colored, was badly cut but not fatally.
She was taken to the infirmary and
later on in the night was reported
