and it's rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
"His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In

about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.

Il am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to 1t for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out little

STAY IN THE SOUTH YOUNG MAN.
Daily States.

Daily States.
In the course of an address delivered
by President Finley, of the Southern
railway, to the students of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, he gave ex-
preston to some views which
were distinguished by sound sense
and should be pondered by all of the
young men of the south. Among other
things he said:
In whatever career the young man
of the South may select, he will find
opportunities at home among his own
people. He will not find it necessary
to go either to the north or to the west.
AS time goes on he will find these op-
portunities in increasing abundance.
for the economic strength of the
south, already great, is constantly in
creasing.
"The wealth of our section in natur.
al resources is being supplemented by
increased financial strength, and
southern communities are becoming
better able to finance their own enter
prises and less dependent on outside
capital.
The south needs every one of her
young men, end those who are faithful
to her she will give them greater op-
portunities than it is possible for them
to find in any other section of the
country. Marvellous as has been the
south's progress in the last two de-
cades, the fact remains that she is only
at the beginning now of what will be
a period of tremendous developments
Because it will be many years before
she has population sufficient to over
crowd her there will be great oppor.
tunities for those who seek them.
This is a fact which is recognized
not only by Mr.. Finley but by railroad
managers, financiers and leaders Of
industry generally. All of them pro-
dict that in the next twenty years the
greatest development the country will
witness will occur in the southern
states. Therefore if the young men
of the south know what is good for
them they will remain at home where
they are needed now, and will be need.

this rapid advent of dissimliar races
because they fear that the higher races
will be contaminated by the lower
Others imagine a blend OF all these
races, making in time a new and
strong racial stock.
"The different races OF mankind
have been produced by the exposure
to different conditions of life through
long ages of groups, which may have
presented at the start marked diver
stiles. They now possess different
powers, desires, capacities and differ
ent immunities. Their minds work
differently and their dispositions are
different
Experience teaches that intermar
riage between two races which pre-
sent marked diversities ordinarily re-
suits in offspring inferior to each par
ent. Thus no satisfactory blend of a
European with a Far Eastern race has
as yet appeared.
The ideal of a people made up from
many different races and living under
free institutions should be the perpet-
uation of racial diversity and not the

Ex-P7ESl0ENT OF HARVARD
TALKS ON SOCIAL EQUALITY.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, June THE Uni
versity of Missouri conferred 1852 de-
grees on students, and the honorary
degree, doctor of laws, upon DR..
Charles William Eliot, ex-president of
Harvard university.
DR.. Eliot delivered the commence
Among Men as a Social and Political
American Conception of Equality
IDEAL
In his address DR.. Eliot dwelt on
social equality as an ideal. The pursuit
Of happiness, he said, should be the
aim Of democracy and it was not in
evitabe that this happiness should re-
suit from equal social conditions
among men.
DR.. Eliot said:
Men, as a matter of fact are not
born equal; no two can have an equal
chance in life by any possibility be-
cause their means and powers of meet
ing the exposures, risks and opportun-
tiles of life are different. Even under
the most favorable circumstances,
therefore, children are not born equal
in life but unequal and different, and
this original inequality is infallibly de-
veloped as life goes on; because it is
impossible to provide the same en-
viroment or the same education for
any two children. A just social
philosophy will not undertake to fly
in the face of these facts of nature.
"As a further illustration of the va
riety which may coexist with freedom
and security under democratic insti-
tutions, one may take the great diver
sity in the population of the United
Staes as regards racial origin.
This broad country has been the
refuge of the ignorant and the op-
pressed as we'll as the paradise of the
enterprising, intelligent and bold.

Henry c. Frick probably took away
the breath of large number of self
satisfied people in Pittsburg, when he
told them that unless they applied a
financial tonic to that city, they would
see a lot of smokeless chimneys, and
that the industrial importance of the
city would pass away forever. Mr.
Frick told the truth, FOR it is easy
of proof that a city which depends
upon manufacturing of any kind, is in
constant danger of losing its chief
assets. This has been the history Of
