BIR MINGHAM MAN
 NOT BADLY HURT
A. A. CLlSBY RESTING WELL IN ATLANTA-TEELS OF SCENES AT SEABOARD WRECK NEAR POWDER SPRINGS.

Dr. A. A. Clisby received a message injured in the wreck of seaboard train No. 3S Friday night at Powder Springs. Ga, was resting, well and that his in- juries were not as serious first stated. W. c. Clisby, another son, went to At lanta Saturday afternoon to be with his brother and render what aid was nee essary.
 The information is that young Clsby has several cuts and bruises about his head He was baggage master on the train, and Saturday made the following statement about the wreck while in the hospital in Atlanta: H
 Just the other side of Powder Springs we were about four minutes behind time and were running at high rate of speed. In my car there were twenty mine trunks, twenty-seven of them being heavy sam pie trunks As was my custom, I took down my record book and was counting the trunks to make up my report just before reaching Atlanta.
 Suddenly I felt heavy shock through the whole train. That was the emergency brake. I knew. l ran to the door and was about to leap for my life when there came great crash
 "That is the last l knew until l came to myself some time later and felt the rescuers tugging at me to get me from under the trunks. Somehow the trunks had tilted over so as not to crush me to pieces. I was taken from the debris and placed on the platform of the car next to mine. There l lay until my own car be- gan burning when l was transferred to the Pullman.
 Later on with the other injured pas sengers I was taken to the farm house It was raining bucketfulls but from tho window where l lay l could see the train blazing. The flames lighted up the trees and the wet fields with big circle of red light. At that time we wondered if any body was burned under the broken coaches At o'clock in the morning we were brought to Atlanta

AUTO SCORCHER
 CARRIED TO JAIL
DEPUTY THINKS CAR WAS CO., ING 125 MILES AN HOUR-NOT TOO FAST TO CONCEAL NUM- BER

John McCarter. d negro with an auto mobile, was more than burning the wind yesterday afternoon when tearing up to- ward South Highlands, According to Deputy Sheriff Sid Jones the machine was moving at the rate Of 125 miles an hour.
 MT. Jones was standing on the corner of an avenue perfectly helpless for the time being, but unfortunately for the negro, his auto would not move as rapidly as the deputys eye. The number on the rear of the machine proved his ruin.
 After walking around for a while MT. Jones again spied the darky seorching along at rapid rate, slowing neither for crossings nor persons.
 Although il would have seemed i'm possible to stop such a whirlwind to an average citizen. it proved very little trou- be to the deputy Stepping out in the middle of the street, he aimed his pistol at the negro's head, and it was remark able how quickly that automobile came to halt. McCarter was hauled away to jail in his own carriage.

A DOCTOR SAYS. Grape-Nuts Food Contains all the EIs- ments Condensed.

There was a time when doctors de- pended almost entirely on the use of drugs in treating disease. That day is happily past, and doctors of today are men of wider vews-they have learned that proper food Is most inn portant in healing disease. A practicins physician In New York City says:
 Disease is often an effort of Nature to get lid of impurities in the system as the result of incorrect habits-wrong ltviag The cause of disease ought to and can be removed by right living and right thinking.
 Nature requires good air. sunlight. food of proper quality and quantity, plenty of pure water, exercise cleanli- ness and sleep. When these conditions are met health follows, but when they are denied or neglected sickness and dis ease are sure to result.
 The important question is to decide what is the proper kind of food to supply the physical and mental necessities Of man? I have had experience with all the various food stuffs known to our markets. but up to the present time have met with no other answering so fully all the requirements as does Grape Nuts food. In my own experience and observation in my practice. l have found Grape-Nuts to be not only more satisfy Ing. but more lasting in the benefit de- rived from its use. 1t sends man forth to his labors in q state of physical com fort, with cheerful and buoyant spirit. and the end of the day finds him with reserve strongth-he suffers less from ex- haustion and depletion of powers
 ''l particularly recommend Grape Nuti food to those whose occupations involve n great deal of brain work There could not be 8 food better adapted to the strengthening and conservation of the faculties and energies It supplies d more sustained mental vlgor than any other food that I know of
 "Grape-Nuts food contains all the ele- ments that form the valuable part of natural diet in q condensed. toothsoms and easily dlsestible form" Name giver by postum Co.,. Battle Creek. Mich, There's . reason"

"Man and Superman."

So far advanced are the theories pro- mulgated by Bernard Shaw in Man and Superman" in which Robert Lorraine will be seen here at the Jefferson theatre to- morrow night for one performance that 1t is said to leave behind the impression that it is good thing to get away from obsolete ideas. The fact that Mr. Lorraine has boen given so much praise in Man and Superman'' is in itself, in- disputable evidence that public opinion has undergone what may be regarded as a revolutionary change.

SUNDAY SALOON WAS
 CONDUCTED IN BASKET

When the officers entered the house, PA South Twenty-fourth street, there was such a crowd of drinking negroes that the saloon in operation was not witnessed. However, the defendants can be convicted under the new ordinance recently passed by the board prohibiting the storage of so much whisky in residence.
 Both were negroes. The woman seemed to have charge of the business while Baxter's part was to supply the stock from the saloon where he worked.
