Odd Breach Of Promise Gaze.

One of the most remarkable breach
Of promise cases that have ever been
brought before the courts is about to
be tried in Athens. Plaintiff, young
woman from the village of Marco
poulo, some 35 miles from Athens,
bases her claims upon an ancient Gus
tom of the village, which. it is held,
will influence the jury in her favor.
The custom. which has the force of
law in the village, is as follows: On
certain fete days the villagers as
semble on the green. when dancing is
INDUCED in. Any girl wishing to
marry drops her handkerchief, and the
swain who picks it up is bound to
marry her. In the case in question
the young man, who picked up the
handkerchief by accident, had never
seen the girl before. When acclaimed
by the assembled villagers as the pros
pective husband Of the girl, he &C.
INJURED, hence the action at law. The
young girl is decidedly good looking,
and his lack of taste in not taking
her for bride is much commented on
in the village.

carping critic may say this Is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these ar
ticles are spoken Of here in q public
manner, but they are used as illustra-
lions Of a manufacturer seeking By
example, printing on each pkg. truth
full. exact statement Of ingredients. to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, ana
establishing an era of pure food. but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show o
way out of the present condition Of
fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers Of America about $20, 900. 90
to print this announcement In practt
cally all of the great papers and mage
zines, in the conduct of what he
chooses to term IAN educational cam
paign," esteemed to be of greater d.
rect value to the people than the estab-
lishment Of many libraries. That 10
held to be worthy method of using
money for the public good. Tell the
people facts. show them way to help
themselves and rely upon them to act
intellfgently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven II
he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and Grape-Nuts, If he will but
join the pure food movement and
do things.

the watchfulness Of the ofloees OF thu
Republic.
Salvarex, however, found that hs
could not obey the commands Of the
President without betraying to the on
emies Of the Republic the fact that
their plot was discovered.
In the first place, there was only
one gun at Bolivar, and it was nearly
worthless. Cannon had to be dragged
there from the castle. Tho infantry
would have to be withdrawn, surely
by the 18th, to march to Bolivar, for 1t
was at Bolivar, no doubt, that the first
act Of aggression was to take place.
So the General abandoned all
thoughts of secrecy. placed a garrison
of thirty men in charge of the castle,
fondly kissed his wife and Jacinta
goodbye, and marched away to Boil
var. with his band playing merrily, his
hundred and sixty odd men marching
proudly, and his artillery, consisting
of two guns numbering along in the
rear.
Reaching Bolivar. he so placed his
guns as to command the river, and
calmly awaited the 18th and the Agos-
tura.
The 18th came, but no steamer came
in sight, General Salvarez smiled calm
ly to himself at this verifcation of
his hopes. The gunboats had captured
rho MI
games and got drunk, for surely no
enemy was near.
The 10Th was a day of impotence,
for, although it was plain that Agos-
tura need not be expected at Bolivar
and Salvarez was in hurry to get
back to his plantation. it was not be-
coming in a general of the Republic
and a friend of the President to put
his private affairs ahead of the safety
of the Republic, so he remained at his
post
On the 10th the steamer FL Callao.

and among her passengers were two
young Americans. named Arthur Med
worth and Jack Tempest.
young fellow, about twenty-five
years of age; and Tempest was taller
still. and of gigantic breadth of
shoulder. his development showing
great muscular strength.
These young men at once inquired
for General SalvareZ. and, having
found him, placed in his hand two very
satisfactory letters Of introduction
from the Venezuelan consul at New
York
When General Salvarez had read the
letters of introduction and greeted the
young men warmly, he took them to
his headquarters.

they were comfortably seated. please

INGREDIENTS and be permitted to use

The people have allowed the slow
murder Of infants and adults by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to 20
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from
this blight. You may not be able to go
personally to Washington to impress
your Congressman. but you can, in q
most effective way tell him by letter
how you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and If goodly number of
citizens express their views to him. he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re.
member also that the safety of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will of the people he carried out. and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public fpro-
lection. It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injnring the people. There.

gress evades his patriotic duty hold

selection Of food.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
fslatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable]
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right to fix food standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat.
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another, and such act would
deprive the common citizen of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
of prepared foods in the world, have
naturally close knowledge of the
needs of the people and the details of
the business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocer, and guided by this expert
ence have prepared bill for submits
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as citizen of the U. S. has a
right to food protection even when he
enters another State, it is deemed
proper that the govt take control Of
this matter and provide national
law to govern all the states. copy
OF the bill is herewith reproduced
Sec. l governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed. or In barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee of his selling the food as it
is represented to him. which relieves
the retailer of responsibility Of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maner, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact state
ment of what the contents were made
OF in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance. strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to pay the price has a right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost. but a further RICH, to certainty

Southern university today made 1t eight
ont of nine games on the local campus
nv winning the second of the series from
Mercer. by the score of IA to .. The game
was slow and uninteresting being one
of the severest drubbings ever given on
+he local diamond Mercer realized that
II was outclassed and but two players
seemed TO try to make the best or 1t.
Those were the first baseman. Mallory
who is one of the best guardians of the
{irst landing ever seen here, and the hard
working short stop. Conner, who played
all over the field, and did not give up
until 1t all over.
The Southern university hit the ball
hard and often. securing eleven hits, Tour
of which were two baggers. The fielding
was not altogether up to the standard,
vet they watched every point and made
their five errors almost costless Powers,
Ward and McFehee hit the ball oppor-
tunely. Ward getting three hits and two
neat sacrifices out of five times up.
But the whole story is told when Pages
name is mentioned He was simply in
yincible. striking out eighteen men and
allowing only three harmless bingles. His
record is phenomenal In every game
pitched he has struck out from twelve
TO eighteen men, and never allowed over
1--WE hits. The big boy will be a strength
to any minor league team.

the side without damage
In the third Manush hit a slow one
down the first base line which TRY failed
to handle. Owens hunted and Try heaved

and Liebhart was forced out at second.
Babb walked and Nadeau forced Thiel.
Nadeau took big lead off first and Mat
