THE WAY OUT
From Weakness to Power by Fooe
Route.

Getting the right start for the days
work often means the difference be-
tween doing things in wholesome COM
fort or dragging along half dead all
day.
There's more in the use of proper
food thar many people ever dream of
-more's the pity.
Three years ago I began working in
a general store writes a man, land
between frequent deliveries and more
frequent customers, was kept on my
feet from morning till night
indigestion had troubled me for
some time, and in fact my slight
breakfast was taken more from habit
than appetite. At first this in
sufficient diet was not noticed much.
but at work it made me weak and
hungry long before noon.
Yet a breakfast Of rolls, fried foods
and coffee meant headache, nausea and
kindred discomfOrts. Either way l was
losing weight and strength, when one
dav friend suggested that l try a
Grape Nuts breakfast
$50 I began with some stewed fruit,
Grape Nuts and cream, a soft boiled
egg. toast. and cup of Postum. BY
noon I was hungry but with healthy,
normal appetite. The weak languid
feeling was not there.
MY head was clearer, nerves stead
icr than for months. Today my
stomach is strong, my appetite nor
NAL. my bodily power splendid and
head always clear.

HOME MISSION WORKERS.
Deaconesses Of Meeiddo Mission Now
In Augusta to Carry on Their Work.

Two deaconeSses of an order called
1.-The Megiddo Mission Band" arrived
in Augusta Tuesday. They are here
in the interest of bringing the home
nearer to God, to be Of some service
in the uplifting and betterment of
mankind, and to influence so far as
is possible by them a more earnest,
helpful study of the Bible.
"Megiddo" is a word of Hebrew
origin. signifying God is in this place
with band of soldiers" The mission
band is ardent and jealous in the work
in which for years they have been I'M
ceasingy engaged working in most
of the larger cities of this country.
The work is undenominational.
An interesting feature of the work
is the large mission steamboat called
the "Megiddo" which they have oper-
ated the length of the Mississippi river.
the Ohio river and their tributaries so
far as navigation allowed, stopping at
innumerable places and carrying on
their work for the cause of Christ with
great success in every place.
The members of the Megiddo Mis-
sion believe in a thoroughly practical
religion one that will make the home
a miniature heaven on earth; one that
will affect the daily life to such de-
gree that people will never speak cross
words to friend or foe; and they want
their life and example to be blessing
and help to others; for they believe
that example is stronger than pre-
cept.'' They believe that sometime in
the near future Christ will return to
+b;c aartb tn establish a reign of uni
versal peace, when Gods glory shall
fill the earth as the waters cover the
sea.
The ladies who are here will do
house to house work.

The fire department was called out
yesterday forenoon by an alarm from
box IS, near the shoe factory on Gage
street, which was rung in at 9.55 and
was due to a brisk grass fire on the
west side of the railroad track and a
short distance above the shoe factory.
The fire was probably due to spark
from a passing train and as a number
of the houses on the east side Of Gage
street set near the top Of the bank the
situation was for a few moments de-
cidedly serious. The prompt arrival
of the firemen however prevented the
fire from getting in under the buildings
and causing quite an amount of dam
age. The bank was thoroughly wet
down as also was the Eaton shoe rae
tory and some of the other buildings
in that vicinity, to guard against FUR
Their damage.

Illinois Delegation viii Be
Handed to Uncle Joe Cannon

Springfield, ILL.,, March 25.-Illinois
is to be placed on a golden platter
metaphorically speaking, and pre-
scented to Uncle Joe" Cannon to-
morrow, with the best wishes of the
Republican political managers, from
governor, senators and congressman
down to the ward leaders. Tomor-
rows Republican state convention,
which will be called to order here at
10 O'Clock, will doubtless go off with
out hitch. All the machinery, is
well-oiled and apparently in the best
of working order.
Governor Deneen, Senators Hop
kins and Cullom and Mayor Busse Of
Chicago have been decided on as the
ones to be honored as delegates at
large, and there is not likely to be
much opposition to this program.
The convention will be composed of
1852 delegates. Many of these ar
rived in Springfield today.
! Friends of Secretary Taft, while
admitting that Cannon men will con-
troll tomorrow's convention, declare
that great many of the delegates
from congressional districts will
swing to Taft if the Cannon boom is
punctured in the national convention
The peculiar situation which exists
in the gubernatorial campaign has
aided Cannon.
Deneen is a candidate for re-elec.
ton, and has made a tentative work
ing agreement with Cannon. Many
of Deneen's friends are suspected Of
being for Taft, but they dare not say
SO, because Cannon's friends hold the
whip hand.
The Cannon delegates must re Sc
lected before the middle of April
while the delegates which will nomi
nate a governor will not be selected
until August If the Cannon forces
are defeated in their object of getting
the state delegation in the national
convention, and decided to hold the
Deneen men responsible, they can
punish Deneen in the August prima-
ries. Phe Deneen men, therefore, are
almost compelled to deliver the
goods" to Cannon in advance.
Although Taft and other candi
dates have many friends in Illinois
especially in Chicago, the action Of
the state committee in indorsine
Cannon has probably met with the
approval of majority of the Repub
leans of the state. Uncle Joe" Il
highly popular among the rank ans
file of the party in Illinois and hi
record in congress is a source o
pride to his constituents. The com
mittee expressed the sentiments of
