RAILROAD MAN
Didn't Like Being Starved.

A man running on railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he
is liable to do harm to himself and
others.
A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct train. Even
a railroad mans appetite and diges-
ton are matters of Importance, as the
clear brain and, steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the prope-' digestion of food.
"For the past five years." writes a
railroader, Il have been constantly
troubled with indigestion. Every doc
tor / consulted seemed to want to
starve me to death. First I was diet
ed on warm water and toast until l
was almost starved; then, when they
would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right back again.
"0nly temporary relief came from
remedies, and tried about all of them
I saw advertised. About three months
ago a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. The very first day no
ticed that my appetite was satisfied,
which had not been the case before,
that l can remember.
In a week, believe, I had more
energy than ever before in my life. I
have gained seven pounds and have
not had a touch of Indigestion since
/ have been eating Grape-Nuts. When
my wife saw how much good this food
was doing me she thought she would
try 1t awhile. We believe the dis
coverer of Grape-Nuts found the Per
feet Food"

His Opinion of the Dinner.

The guests at large dinner party
did ample justice to the tempting
viands as course after course was
served. They were loud in their
praises of the Chinese cook, of whom
the hostess was justly proud. They
declared they never ate more deli
cious or appetizing delicacies. Final
ly the Chinaman brought in the last
course, a huge cake heavy with
frosting. He was a converted Chi
naman, and desiring to honor his
religion he had put a motto on the
cake that satisfied his conscience.

Mr. Bryan Makes Statement

The following statement was
made by William Jennings Bryan
Friday morning after receiving the
announcement Of his nomination
as candidate for the Presidency
"The presidency is the highest
official position in the world and
no one occupying 1t can afford to
have his views upon public ques-
tions biased by personal an bition
Recognizing his respo visibility to
God and his obligation TO his
countrymen, he should enter upon
the discharge of his duties with
singleness of purpose. Believing
that enc can best do this when he
is not planning for second term,
l announce now,as | have on form
err occasions, that if elected,
shall not be candidate for re-
election.
'Trhis is a nomination as purely
from the people as can be and if
elected my obligation will be as
purely to the people. l appreciate
the honor the more because 1t came
not from one person or few per-
sons, but from the rank and file
acting freely and without compul-
sioD."

To Examine Building Site

A dispatch sent out from Wash
ington a few days ago, with re-
ference to the location of the Fed
eral building in Lexington, says:
1t has been decided by the super
vising architect of the treasury to
send two agents of that division
Of Virginia sometime during the
next week or TWO for the purpose
OF examining cites for public
buildings, bids for which were
rece ntly opened here.
II is probable that Agent Die
trich will go to Big Ae Gap,
Suffolk, Wythevi'le, Covington
and Bedford City, and that G. j.
Kemper will go to Lexington and
possibly other places.
The sending of these officials
means much to the towns where
they will GO. Their visits will be
to personally examine into the
sites that have been offered the
government, to satisfy themselves
that those sites are good locations
and that the prices are right. AT
ter doing this they will make their
reports to the supervising archi-
tect and the announcement will
then shortly be made as to the sue
cessful bidders.

in that the members had the pleas
ure of disposing of quantity, of
"contraband" goods, which, FOL

which quite a number of persons
were recently convicted before the
Mayor.
Feeling that the W. G. t. u
would take pleasure in disposing
of their ancient enemy, the Mayor
sent to their meeting yesterday a
number of bottles of this hquor,
which they proceeded to dispose of
to their entire satisfaction by
emptying the contents and break

ed Saturday afternoon when the

through from Denver with the
Virginia delegation. Mr.. Bryan
met them and took the entire
party out to his house, Senator
Daniel and Mr.. Bryan walking
arm -in-arm.
Arriving at Fairview, Senator
Daniel made short talk in which
he said: "Whatever differences
existed between the Virginians
and you was settled when the
gavel fell, bringing to close the
Denver convention. Fom that
moment, every Democrat in Vir.
ginia was for Bryan and we will
carry the State for you this fall"
Mr.. Bryan was much pleased at
the sentiments expressed by the
senator, and replied in a happy
vein, saying:
"We expect 10 carry Virginia;
we always have carried Virginia
and we appreciate what the sena-
tor from that State has so well
said. And, furthermore, we will
undoubtedly wish TO call upon the
most distinguished speaker of that
State to assist the party in neigh
boring States, and ! know that we
will net ask h,m in vain for his
assistance.
Then the Virginians warmed up
and scattered over the fine yard at
Fairview, while Mr.. Bryan and
Senator Daniel had half an hours
quiet chat by themselves. Both
gentlemen seemed sir ply delight
ed over the events.
For two years there has been q
ccldness between Mr.. Bryan and
Senator Daniel. The eliminating
point was reached last summer in
Washington, when Senator Daniel
refused to ehake the hand of the
Nebraskan.
