Newspaper Support.

A newspaper, if it has any brains
conscience and mucsle backof it
must decide between dong its
duty and injuring its pocket.
In any position but that of editor
the public is able to separate
the individual home from the
collective citizen. But If II
editor does not please them it is
at his pocket they aim. Thus il
is the newspapers learn who
their friends are.
The man who reads a news
paper and admlres it all the
year around, yet gives his bust
ness support to some other con
Germ, is not a friend to the form
err newspaper. Admiration a.
lone will not run a newspaper.
There are too many MEN who ex
pect an editor to slave in defense
of their pet notions and hobbies,
advocate their views against
the strongest opposition and cool.
.ly withhold their business sup.
port, by which alone a country
newspaper can live.
Talk about q paper having a
public duty to perform and an
editor having to work for his
principle cheap then Others stand
back and extend q 1ukewarm
neutrality. Seatord Del. J News.

were forcing themselves along be-

the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love Of
their work.
1t is fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
II an engine has poor oil, or a boiler
is fred with poor coal, a bad result is
certain. isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of

We have thousands Of testimonials,

the result that prompted the testimo-

II you have never tried Grape-N Nuts
it's worth while to give 1t a fair impair
tial trial. Remember there are mil

use Grape-Nuts every morning your
