NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Fosa Gave Rel..s.

Many persons are learning that druv. are not the thing to rebuild worn o1t nerves, but proper food is reuuired
 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 nhoa- phate of potash. of which Grape-Nuts food contains a large proportion.
 Tn making this food all the food ele- ment in the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That Is why SO many heretofore nervous and run down people ind In Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food.
 T can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve renewer, writes Wisconsin bride:
 "A few years ago. before my mar riage, was bookkeeper in a large firm. T became so nervous toward the end of each week that 1t seemed I must give up my position, which could not afford to do.
 Mother purchased some Grape.Nuts and we found 1t not only delicious but noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized was not nervous any more.
 T have recommended 1t to friends as a brain and nerve food. never hay. ing found its equal. owe much to Grape-NutB as 1t saved me from a ner- vous collapse. and enabled me to retain my position"

DRUNKENNESS ON INCREASE New Record for Arrests
 Here. TwENTY-slx IN FIGHT DAYS Police Docket of Montgomery Gives
 Record.
 ---- - It is shewa rhas afaeh whi.key Is Being Shipped late the City
 ana is causinE
 Inebriety. ,

The police docket shows that wet States In the vicinity of Alabama are beginning to pick up . nifty local bus mess. The number of drunks recorded is steadily Increasing since the first of the year, and the rines for drunken are setting back to normal, since the first flush of the dawn of prohibition is beginning to die out.
 December and January records in the booze cases are not taken as good months to judge the matter by. for usually at Christmas time much liquor Is bought and stored away and the trunks stay at home to drink it. Jan uary find most of them broke, but Feb- ruary. with the return of normal con- ditions, throws a search light on the situation.
 Tn January, 1908. there were ffty- eight cases of drunkenness recorded on the police blotter. but prohibition was far of then and things went along smoothly. January, 1903. shows de- eided decrease in the number of drunks, for not quite forty are on record, dif- ference of some aix or ten cases be- tween handily found booze and the mall orders of prohibition.
 But the mali orders are coming in now and the first nine days of tbe two February show that there is something doing. In February. 1908, in the first nine days of the month. twenty-five drunken men were marched into police headquarters. twenty-nye in two days more than a week.
 The first eight days of this Febru. ary, 1909. show twenty-six eases of plain drunk. one more than when the town was soaking wet.
 The two Januarys were about even. The Februarys ahow that drunkenness has increased in the city under the ale IeRed dry regime. As one man ex- pressed 1t: %,rhey are buying more by ordering and having more on hand than they would if it was in reach. People want a thing when they have to take trouble to get t, and where one or two drinks satisfied before, the presence of gallon now leads to fife sized drunk
