it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.

tons and now I am entirely well.

The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that 1t
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
II that part Of the human body is In
perfect working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system Is run
down, the machinery of the body

used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and

Five Governors In IS Months.

The chance remark by Secretary
Paul Little to the effect that he had
served as private secretary to four gov.
errors in little less than year and
a half resulted in a little figuring on
just how many chief executives Ar
kansas has had since the election OF
1906.
The list, covering a period of less
than sixteen months, totals five, as
follows: JEFF Davis, John S. Little,
John Ike Moore, Xenophen o. Pindall
and Allen II. Hamiter.
On the 18th of January year ago,
Gov. jeff Davis retired to make way
for Gov. Little. A few weeks after
this Gov. Little was stricken in health
and the Office reverted to the presi-
dent of the senate, Hon. John l. Moore,
who became the third governor in the
list. At the close of the session of the
general assembly Gov. Moore was sue
ceeded by Hon. x. o. Pindall, who was
elected from the holdover senators as
president of the senate and became the
fourth in the list of executives. Elev-
en- months later, through the absence
of Gov. Pindall from the state, Hon.
Allen Hamiter, speaker of the house.
IL qualified as governor, completing
the quintet of governors who have
ruled the destinies of the State since
January 16, 1907.
This would make, on an average, a
little over three months to the execu-
time has been served by Cows. Moore
and Pindall.
Incidentally, 1t is interesting to note
that within the next eight months
there will be two other governors,
making a total Of seven governors for
a little over two years. This results
from the fact that at the next meet
ing of the general assembly, If Gus
tom is followed out, the senate will
organize in advance of the house, elect
ing their president of the senate and
other officers. The president of the
senate will, by. virtue of his office, be-
come acting governor, since this duty
must be filled by the president of the
senate until the installation of the
next regularly elected governor. AS
the governor is not formally installed
until after the organization of both
houses of the legislature it is evident
that the next president of the senate
will be acting governor during the time
between the election of officers in the
senate and the formal inauguration
Of the new governor. after organiza-
ton of the house of representatives.
