DIFFERENT NOW
Athlete Finds Better Training Food.

It was formerly the belief that to
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty of meat.
This is all out of date now, and
many trainers feed athletes on the
well-known food, GrapeNuts, made Of
wheat and barley, and cut the meat
down to small portion once a day.
Three years ago." writes a Mich.
man, having become interested in
athletics, found l would have to stop
eating pastry and some other kinds
of food.
81 got some Grape-Nuts, and was
soon eating the food at every meal,
for l found that when l went on the
track, 1 felt more lively and active.
Later, l began also to drink Postum
in place of coffee, and the way
gained muscle and strength on this
diet was certainly great. On the day
of field meet in June / weighed 124
lbs. On the opening of the football
season in Sept, l weighed 140. at
tribute my fine condition and good
work to the discrimination of i'm
proper food and coffee, and the using
of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my princi-
pal diet during training season being
Grape-Nuts.
Before / used Grape-Nuts / never
felt right in the morning-always kind
of out of sorts with my stomach. But
Tow when 1 rise feel good, and after
a breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts
with cream, and cup Of Postum,
feel like a new man." There's a

Judith Quimby swept out her
arms, making a little open space,
the better to address her audience,
and began: ut is impossible,
friends, that you meet the new
minister or thank the choir. I'm
possible! l repeat. The Reverend
Richard Bonifield. and his charming
choir, are not frail flesh and blood, as
we are; they see not as we see, hear
not as We hear, feel not as we feel;
your batteries cannot touch them, nor
your heresies corrupt; they are above
the follies and illusions of this little
world. In fact, my friends, you have
to-day listened to a sermon and to re-
ligious singing rendered by servants
of new and incorruptible church. At
last have Christian souls found the
perfect choir and the perfect minis
ter! The Reverend Richard Bonifield
and his choir are not men and women,
but steel and wax figures-worked by
our deacon-and within each of these
figures is photograph, the records
of which have been and will in the flu
ture be edited by me, so that hereafter
we shall have the true faith delivered
in the true way. Friends, / wish you a
very good morning this blessed Sab
bath day, and / assure you that you
will always be welcome to this incor-
ruptible church which I have estab-
lished in your midst. One word more
hereafter there will be no collection,
except that for foreign missions"

The New Minister
Copyright. by shortstory Pub. Coz


Sunday came, and with II came the
congregation to listen to the new
clergyman and the new choir. What
manner of man would the former be?
And the choir? Really, Judith Quimby
must be at ruinous expense to bear
the whole cost out of her private
means.
At precisely ten o'clock Deacon
Watts stepped forward and opened the
door leading from the vestibule to the
church, and the congregation entered
the house of worship. The new clergy
man and the choir were there before
them, the divine standing in his pulpit,
the choir seated on his right.
A murmur of surprise and pleasure
broke from the congregation. What
a noble clergyman! young, handsome,
sanity; everything pastor should be-!
The congregation was now seated
and, lifting his outstretched hands, the
new clergyman opened the mornings
worship with prayer and then immedi-
ately chose his text and delivered his
sermon. The little flock held its
breath In admiration; never before
had it heard such a sermon as this
mastery searching out of the vani-
ties of these latter times, delivered In
a rich, sonorous voice, and with true
Baptist fervency. Verify, a summer of
spiritual glory had descended upon the
village of Watervale
THE choir will now sing the forty
seventh hymn" directed the new
clergyman, and at once the choir arose
with open hymn-books and, taking the
most graceful attitude, rendered the
song in consummate style; then, de-
Gently, soberly, christianity, without
staring at face or bonnet among the
congregation, sat down.
Judith Quimby was triumphant
her townspeople elated, amazed, curl
Gus.
The new clergyman now arose and,
speaking in a more familiar tone than
heretofore, introduced himself to his
flock as the Reverend Richard Boni-
field, and trusted that only the highest
tween himself and his congregation
Then, lifting his hands, he spoke the
benediction, and Immediately after
wards the congregation arose and
made its exit to the vocal music of the
choir.
In the vestibule Judith Quimby was
instantly surrounded, to be congratu'

A Mere Fad.

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking
to a member of the famous Bible class
about economy.
'But economy, like everything else
may be carried to extremes-may be
made a mere fad Of" said Mr.. Rookie
Teller.
There Is a farmer out near Cleve
land who makes a fad Of economy
Every time he drives into town he
carries a hen with him tied to the
seat of his buggy.
"A friend rode with him one day
and found out the use Of the hen.
When, at noon, the farmer lunched
under tree he gave his mare feed
from nosebag. The hen, set on the
ground, ate all that the horse spilled
from the bag, and thus there was no
waste"

Mysterious Murder in Grecnville.

(Greenville Sun, March 23.)
Lying with his face down in the
back yard Of negro house on
Thompson street, with bullet hole
through his head, Jim Fisher, a ne
gro, thirty years old, was found dead
this morning by the negroes who live
In the house nearby. He has from
the testimony of the different negroes
in that quarter, been there since last
night about 8 o'clock. The case is
one of mystery and the police are in
the dark as to the man who commit
ted the crime. This morning when
the body was discovered the police
were notified and special officers
were sent to the scene. They ex-
amined the body and found that the
negro had been dead for some time
The negroes in the houses where
Fisher spent the first part Of the
evening were arrested and brought
to the lookup. The woman in the
case, Rachael Byrd, was also arrest
ed. The affair is very complicated
and no one seems to know anything
of 1t. The negroes arrested tell a
different story Of the affair and each
one sounds fishy

NO NEW DEPOT YET.

The Courier was Informed last year
that early next spring" one OF the
contemplated and certain improve
ments for the Blue Ridge railroad
was new depot for Walhalla. So
far we are unable to hear anything
of that much needed new structure
not even a rumor.
And the only change in the old
one, so far as we are able to see, is
that few more holes have rotted
through the floor, and it has become
altogether more dilapidated
1t seems to us that it is time for
something to be done. In fact early
spring is here and the old depot is
gradually rotting away. We suggest
to our business men that they get
together and ask the Blue Ridge au-
thorities to give Walhalla a depot
such as the road and the town de-
serve and need. The road is un-
questionably able to do It, and the
patronage received from the citizens
of Walhalla Is such as to justify it,
The trouble is the Blue Ridge gives
what 1t has to, and no more; the
cltlZens or Walhalla take what they
get, and are satisfied. The conse-
quence is the road gets, through WAL
halla, large share of its profits, and
gives nothing in return. Smaller
places along the line are given better
accommodations.
Why /?
If the statement that we have not
demanded 1t fails to answer the ques-
tion, then the railroad authorities are
the only ones who can answer it.
1t Is certainly not because the rail-
road cannot afford 1t, or that the
business at this point does not justify
1t.
We believe that If the shacks on
the two sides OF the Blue Ridge tracks
in Walhalla were viewed by the men,
bers OF the Railroad Commission we
would get new, larger and better ac-
commodations in the matter of pas
senger and freight depots, neither of
which at present Is worthy the name

Escapns RoR CHmpRRN.
Resolution Looking Toward Safety
Appliances was Adopted.

Columbia, March 23.--At its re-
cent meeting the State Board of Edu-
Ication passed a resolutions stating that
1t Is the sense of the board that ade-
quate provisions should be made I'm
all school buildings for the escape OF
the pupils in case OF fire and that all
school buildings should have doors
and exits opening outward; that fire
drills should be practiced In all
schools at least once month and that
all existing buildings not properly
provided with escapes should be so
provided. This resolution was in
troduced by Hayne r.. Rice, OF Aiken,
the new member of the board, and
was seconded by ysSuperintendent Mar
TIM 1t Is of course suggested hv the
Collinwood disaster In Ohio, which
so greatly shocked the whole coun-
try. 1t was demonstrated lin that
fire that fire drills are useless IL the
means Of escape can be bl rked by
doors opening inward or Q Ter ~b-
structions. I5aS..,
The resolution Of the State Board
Is merely advisory in character, and
while 1t is to be sent to every city
and county superintendent for distri-
button among the trustees under his
direction, 1t has not any compelling
force, and there should be q law car
rying out the idea expressed In the
resolution. ] any of the school build
ings in growing towns in this State
are wooden buildings, formerly used
as residences and converted into
school houses, and as most of them
are overcrowded with children, a fire
might be in a smaller way just as
serious as that in Ohio.
