NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, ETC., which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate Of potash, Of which Grape-Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts true nerve
and brain food.
II can say that Grape Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve renew
err" writes Wis. bride.
"A few years ago, before my mar
riage, was bookkeeper in a large
firm. I became so nervous toward the
end CT each week that it seemed
must give up my position, which I
could not afford to do.
Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts
and we found 1t not only delicious but
| noticed from day to day that was
improving until | finally realized was
not nervous any more.
Il have recommended it to friends
as brain and nerve food, never hav-
ing found its equal. I owe much to

LYNCAING THREATENED
MURDERER OF REV. W. T. HUD-
SON MAKES CONFESSION.
Sheriff Bradford Makes Plea for Law
and Order, and Is Upheld by
Majority of Citizens.

Houston, Miss.-After threatening fol-
hours to lynch Roby Baskins, the negro
who has made a full confession to the
murder of the Rev. w. T. Hudson, whom
he shot and killed Saturday morning, a
mob of fully 500 determined citizens OF
Chickasaw county agreed with Sheriff N.
W. Bradford Monday to stay the hand
of Judge Lynch while efforts are being
made to have. special term of court
called so that quick justice can be meted
out to the murderer. This action on the
part of the mob followed an eloquent
plea made by Sheriff Bradford for the
preservation of law and order in Chicka-
saw county.
Sheriff Bradford promised the people
of Houston that if they would respect
the law enacted for their own good and
that of the State, he would make every
effort to secure a special term of court.
The enraged citizens left the vicinity of
the Jail and held a meeting, dclegating
R. H. Knox, to hurry to Bonneville,
where court is now in session, and to
prevail upon Judge E. o. Sykes and Dis
trict Attorney G.. T. Mitchell to at once
order special term of court at Houston.
Judge Sykes and District Attorney
Mitchell have declined to order a special
term of court. This fact is only known
to very few of the law-abiding citizens
of Houston, and when it becomes gem
orally known there is every reason to
believe that Baskins will be taken from
the custody of Sheriff Bradford and his
deputies and dealt with summarily.
The next regular term of court in
Houston will convene in the early part
of March, long before which time it is
thought the negro will be dispensed with.
Never in the history of the county
has feeling ran so high. The murdered
Baptist minister was man loved, ad-
mired and respected by the entire COM
munity, which is now up in arms against
the negro who has committed the foul
crime.

ONLY GOT BACK HIS OWN.
Umbrella Had Long Been Absent from
Its Proper Hall Tree.

"Stories about umbrellas" said a.
New York physician, when that useful
article was the subject of discussion,
"are as numerous as fish stories, and
often test just as severely the
credulity of those who listen to them.
This is true one: A patient tele-
phoned an hour after he had been at
my office one morning that he had left
his umbrella on the hall rack; would T
see that it was kept for him? My
servant found it, and that evening
while we were at dinner he called, got

There he told long story as to how
he valued the umbrella because he had
carried it long time, and it was just
the right weight and showed dent
In the silver handle which had been
made by his little boy when he used it
as a hockey stick. l saw my wife
smile while the story was being told
She understood my wink, however,
and we said nothing. But when the
man had gone away with the umbrella
under his arm we laughed, for we had
recognized the umbrella which I had
carried out and never brought back
more than three years ago"

RECORD FOR THE ATLANTIC
Mauretania Goes Route in 4 Days,
90 Hours and 90 Minutes.

Queenstown.-The Mauretania passed
Daunt's Rock lightship at $40 pm
Monday, thus establishing a record for
the long route. The liner covered the
distance, 2,934 knots, at an average
speed of 25.2o knots. The passage was
made in four days, 20 hours and 2S min.
utes.
The Mauretania has beaten every rec
ord going east, average speed, the high
est days run and the records for the
long and short routes from New York
to Queenstown. &This improvement is
due undoubtedly to new propellers.
The best previous record from New
York to Queenstown over the long course
was five days and five minutes, made by

WHAT BATTLESHIPS COST.
Takes 800, 1855 to Keep One in Re-
pair for Year.

MISUNDERSTANDING to reso-
luton introduced by Senator Clay, a re-
port was sent ato the Senate Monday
by Secretary of the Navy Newberry,
saying that it cost $1O9,s56 to keep a
first-class battleship in repair and good
condition for one year. This figuring
does not include extraordinary repairs
incident to taking ship out of COM
mission, remodeling or reconstructing it.
The cost of coal used on battleships
for the fiscal year 1908 was $3,153,9O2,
and this amount was increased by trans.
portation and storage charges to $5,544,-
945. The coal was bought at from $3.50
to $6.75 per ton, the variation being due
to the state of the market, the number
of tons per contract and the distance of
delivery.

Barring the Senatorial element which of
course aggravated the situation, have been
there myself. What G-s. Bill felt, the JET
FERsoNIAN has felt. What he said to that por-

have felt constrained to say
And when to the studied neglect of the sable
servitor was added the insolence of reply to
gentle remonstrance, the slapping climax in
my case was about the same as in that of the

Therefore, the JEFFERsoNIAN halls with de-

give small orders, giving monopoly of ser
vice to those whose orders are large, for The
reason that the large tip goes with the large
order. A small order cannot be expected to
earn anything more than small tip,-hence
the failure to serve it.

The Canadian tanner or manufacturer can
not ship his leather or shoes to this country

No, he must pay an almost prohibitive tariff
to compete with the American manufacturer.
Therefore the Leather Trust is to be al

turer of cotton goods, wooden goods, and about
everything else that New England manufac-

The Western farmer is to be given free
Irvine to tie his wheat, and that is about all he
gets.
The Southern farmer is to pay duty on

Then after he wraps it in the bagging on
which he pays tariff he is to ship it to the

duty when he buys it back in the shape Of

eve approve commend and unqualifedly in
dorse the stand taken by President Taft in the
matter of tariff revision. We are counting on him
to see to it that the partys platform promise of
revision is redeemed by the enactment of a tariff
bill acceptable to the people, and we would APP
prove of his veto of any bill that does not con-
form to his construction of the platform pledge,
which he has said means revision downward
within the limitations of the protective principle
We look to Senators and Representatives IN
Congress to sustain the President in this position
and we commend them for their efforts in support
of the party pledge and the Presidents policies.

Wouldn't it be good idea for some of our
Democratic states to take similar action and
urge their representatives to stick up to their
