ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation o,
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer I was suddenly taken
with Indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was SO
sore could hardly move about This
kept up until l was SO miserable life
was not worth living.
Then friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
although l had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that could eat
it without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
so kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown. for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
Very soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid. tired feeling left, and alto
gethcr l felt as if had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day am new woman In mind
as well as body. and l owe 1t all to
this natural food, Grape.Nuts."

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The oesdseat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks

No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
man should hesitate long before be-
coming dead-beat. Criminals are de-
siised and abhorred. but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once SO mean and SO lit
tie in taking advantage of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he infiicts on 9th.
ers. But. that aside, he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move good deal, and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types of

finish is more unpleasant than the be.

Only Cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth OF
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called cures" for con
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors, >
professors" and institutes are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump-
ton for small amounts, with the re-
suit that thousands of dupes are year,
ly cheated out of their lives as well
as their money. Besides these cures
and medicines of all sorts, numbering
now several hundred. are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de.
ceptions. The only cure for consump.

COTTON AGAINST CERLALs.
Some Interesting Facts From the
Census Report.

A bulletin just issued by the bu-
reau Of the census contains some
interesting facts on cotton produc-
ton, says the Anderson Mail.
1t is found that revised figures
for the crop of 1908 expressed in
equivalent 500-pound bales and in
cluding linters, show total produc-
ton Of l3,587,30s bales. This rep
resents an increase over 1907 OF
2,2l1,845 bales or 1914 per cent.
1t is the third largest crop ever
produced, being exceeded only by
the crops Of 1904 and 1906, and
is 97S,751 bales larger than the aver
age crop of the last five years.
But what is more interesting, it
is shown that the aggregate value Of
the cereal crops for the United States
in 1907 was estimated by the depart
ment Of agriculture at s2,373,000,-
900, while the value of the cotton
produced that year was estimated
at s701, 100000, nearly one-third
the value of all cereals.
No less than 100000 persons are
in producing, handling and
manufacturing American cotton, OF
whom some 100000 are farmers
and farm laborers, 100000 other
wise engaged with the fiber in this
country and about 100000 are con-
cerned with 1t in foreign countries.
The value Of the goods manufactur-
I'd from the average American cotton
crop is estimated at s2,000,000,000.

And They Are Likely TO Gather at
the College.
1t is likely that the South Caro-
lima Press Association will hold its
1910 meeting at Clemson College
The college authorities have extend
ed the editors of the State a cordial
invitation to come to the college
then and spend a week, the college
authorities to pay the expenses Of
a weeks entertainment out of their
own pockets.
This is done because of the recent
discussion that has been going on
over the State about the management
Of Clemson. The college authori-
ties say they want the newspaper
men to come there and personally
inspect the plant and workings Of
the college. and write afterwards
Just how they feel about the mat
ter.
This will appeal strongly to many
of the newspaper men over the State,
and it is thought the Press Associa-
ton will accpet the invitation.
