 BRYAN'S GREAT CHANCES
Architect.

Senator Joseph F. Johnston returned yesterday from Dubuque, Ia where he attended the funeral of the late Sena- tor Allison. He made the trip in five days, hurrying back to important busi- ness in Birmingham.
 After talking with a number of prominent politicians of the west" he said, q am greatly encouraged over the prospects of the democratic ticket car rying the west. The whole tendency of the vote is in that direction.
 While the death of Senator Allison has little effect on the race in Iowa, there is no doubt but that great part of the vote which Cummins holds is radically in favor of Bryan. While

ALMOST A SHADOW. Gained 20 Pounds on Grape.Nut..

There's wonderful difference betwser food which merely tastes good and on,, which builds up strength and good healthv flesh. "'
 It makes no difference how much wa eat unless we can digest it. It is not really food to the system until it is ab- sorbed. Yorkstate woman says:
 T had been sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble. and had got so bad that the least bit of food such as I then knew would give me untold misery for hours after eating.
 Il lost flesh until I was almost a shadow of my original self and my friends were quite alarmed about me.
 First I dropped coffee and used Pos tum, then began to use Grape-Nuts. al- though I had little faith it would do me any good.
 But I continued to use the food ana have gained twenty pounds in weight and feel like another person in every way. l feel as if life had truly begun anew for me.
 T can eat anything I like now in mod eration, suffer no i'll effects be on my feet from morning until night. Whereas year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while otlfers cleaned house for me. This spring I have been able to do 1t myself all alone.
 My breakfast is simply Grape Nuts with cream and a cup of Postum, with sometimes an egg and piece of toast, but generally only Grape Nuts and Pos tum. And I can work until noon and not feel as tired as one hours work would have made me a year ago." s
 There's reason.' --

S5OOO FIRE AT
 116N. 21ST STREET
MOVING PICTURE FILMS IN PHo- NooRAPH STORE CAUSE HOT BLAZE WHICH IS SOON UNDER CONTROL.

A little blaze quickly mastered caused about s50OO damage in the store at ll6 North Twenty street, occupied by the Southern Monograph Co.,, early this morning Fire broke out at about o'clock from some mysterious cause in the rear of the place.
 The alarm was turned in by the officer, on the beat and within few minutes the department had the flames under control.
 The big loss is caused by the big num- Der of costly moving picture films which were stored in the place, and it is be- lieved that these are total loss. When the fire reached them it blazed up like powder and caused quite heat, although at no time did the flames reach the sec ond story A big number of records were also destroyed, while it is probable that a considerable amount of the photograph stock is beyond repair.

am not In a position to say which states we will likely carry, I believe Bryan will come east with a big ma jority of electoral votes."
 When asked why this change to the democratic ranks the senator said. There are a number of reasons. Bryan has always been strong in the west. He will carry big labor vote, caused partly by the stand of the party in the platform, and partly by the armies of unemployed.
 Then, too, the republican ranks in the west are seriously divided Into bit- ter factions which will weaken them considerably. I believe our chances for democratic victory in November are fine"
