"Am / My Brothers Keeper"

Cardinal Gibbons, in a sermon

saying: You are your brothers
keeper, and you will be held response
BILE to God as such" The Bishop of
Kentucky, in an address to the Broth

convention in Memphis last year, gave
the same answer to the same ques-
ton. Both Cardinal Gibbons and the
Bishop Of Kentucky give the obvious
answer, the answer that suggests it.

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook
ing.

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in a pasty mass that IS
hard to digest, and if not properly
digested, the raw mass goes down
into the intestinal tract where gas is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well, while poor food, or even food of
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some II to 16 hours be-
ing consumed in the different pro-
cesses of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant ser
vice and the starch has been changed
to a form of Sugar, so that it is pre-
digested and ready for almost imme-
diate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges-
tion and dyspepsia from the use of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts, and |
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
finally decided to try the food, but /
have not known what indigestion is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health. | have
increased in weight from 100 to 124
pounds"
People can be well, practically
without cost, if they will adopt scien-
tific food and leave off the indigesti-
BILE sort. "There's 9 Reason"
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and de-
Iicious to the taste. 1t should be
served exactly as it comes from the
package, without cooking, except in
eases where it is made up into pud-
dings and other desserts.-Book of
delicious recipes, and THE Road to
Wellyiile," in pkgs.

Stealing Elephants in Siam.

The stealing of elephants seems to
be proceeding in Siam on q scale
which the owners of the elephants do
not appear to find at all humorous.
The industry in which the elephants
that are stolen are so largely used is
the teak timber trade, and it has
been reported by the British Consul
that the thefts are interfering with
the profits of the work. The extent
of the trouble may be gagged by the
simple figures conveyed by the facts
that in a space of a little more than
a year one firm had twenty-six ele-
plants stolen, of which fourteen were
recovered, and another twenty-five
stolen and thirteen recovered. The
browning insult appears to have been
the stealing of one of the Consul's
own transport elephants belonging
to the British Government, which has
now been missing for nearly a year.

Some people call Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right!
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca

Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, 8 remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu.

JUDGE JETER c. PRITcHARD.
North Carolina Jnrist Involved 4

North Carolina Jurist Involved In
States Rights Controversy.
A temporary truce was established
in North Carolina where governmental
adjustment of railroad rates brought
on a clash between Federal and State
authorities. The clash was of wide
spread interest because it not only in
yolved the arrest of prominent railroad
men, but 1t threatened to raise a ques-
ton of State rights to be fought out
rln the next Presidential election.
North Carolina made pa cent uni
form passenger rate. This was yioiat-
ed by two ticket agents, whereupon
they were arrested and sent to Jail for
thirty days. Appeal was made to Fed
eral Judge Jeter C. Prltchard, who dis
charged the two men and declared the
reualty clause of the rate law uncon-
stitutional. The Pritchard decision
was handed down despite the request
of Governor Glenn for delay until the
legal authorities of the State could be
heard. At the same time Governor
Glenn ordered Superior Court Solicitor
Brown to resist to the utmost the re-
lease of the defendants, promising
armed protection to the State officers,
and thus precipitatlng a direct conflict
of authority between the Federal court
and the State Of North Carolina.

fiict of authorities, Assistant Attorney
