ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of the great discoveries
or inventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was q
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Nt4I c1uA anu CAbChbANO SARCA hACAS9
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result Of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen In a marked sturdi.
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system, making It Q
pleasure for one TO carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
GrapeNuts food IL in no sense q
stimulant but Is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory It Il served instantly with
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken Of, C. W. Post. is to be seen on
each genuine package of GFape-Nuta.

book, "Ths Road 70 WOllVillA

the JOB must be done by teachers,
preachers, mechanics, farmers, house
wives, educated and trained in Ne
gro schools and inspired to help their
people.
Institutions seeking to contribute
to this far-reaching service should
educate their students to ideals and
train them in habits and arts that
they may scatter among the masses
intelligent methods in farm and gar
den and household work; patient
thrift and sustained industry; clear
foresight and prompt initiative; !;
rugged honesty and steady self-con-
troll; moral courage, chastity, public
spirit and racial confidence and
pride. In a school community like
Booker T. Washington's TuSkegee
Institute, all the elements of real life
are adequately represented. The
students participate to the fullest ex-
tent i'll the whole circle of activities
they gan experience and a reasonable
confidence in their own powers and
a sense of responsibility. Such
school communities, resting upon ag-
riculture as the basic industry, should
be established at the center of each of
the greater black belts; they should,
as President Eliot of Harvard Uni
versity recently suggested, receive
the nations aid. Such institutions
secure the free play of the best pow
ers of men and women of unusual
quality. In a deeper and truer sense
than the conquering armies were, a
Tuskegee is an instrument of eman-
cipation. I voice today not the prayer
of pity but the august demand of a
vast national responsibility"

he'd here tonight. One hundred and
fifty banqueters were present, includ-
ing Negro politicians from all parts
of the country, educators, men of
business and of letters. The address
of the evening was delivered by Ros-
coe Conkling Bruce, formerly Di-
rector of the Academic Department
of Tuskegee Institute and now assist
ant Superintendent in charge of the
colored schools of Washington, D. c.
The speaker said in part:
"Slavefa is no mere affair of
shackles and stripes; it is essentially
an affair of the human spirit. Proc
lamations of emancipation are in
themselves puny, Intellectual things,
for it is not by edict but by education
that men grow free. The ultimate
battle ground of freedom is the hui
man heart
"It must be remembered that in
slavery, Massachusetts and Mississip-
pi, Georgia and New York sinned to-
gether. Slavery was recognized by
statute in I64I by Massachusetts, in
1850 by Connecticut, in 1861 by Vir-
ginia, and later by the other colonies.
II emancipation was compassed or in
progress throughout the North be-
fore 1900, who shall say it was not
economic rather than moral reasons
that vouchsafed the North this pre-
eninence in public righteousness /?
Who, then, shall cast the first stone?
Slavery was the nations sin; free
dom through education is the ma
tons opportunity, the nations duty
to itself.
The fact that in Louisiana, Ala
bama, Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi and Virginia,
onehalf the Negro men of voting
age are illiterate today, shows that
the nations duty is not done. Al
though the total Negro enrolment in
the common schools Of the South
trebled in 25 years, it is true that in
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Louisiana and Arkansas the num-
Der of black illiterates today exceeds
the aggregate Negro population of
similar age in 1860; the enlargement
of school facilities has Jagged far
behind the sheer increase in popula-
ton. Only about half the Negro
children of school age are enrolled
in school and less than one third of
those enrolled attend school six
months or more. The fundamental
principle of American common school,
I mean the impartial disposal of pub
lie funds to educate all the children
OF all the peoples very far indeed
from recognition in Southern prac-
tice Black Americans in the South
cast no ballots. And so, not more
than one-ffth of the school income
goes at present to the support OF the
Negro schools.
"Of the nine million Negroes in
the United States, seven millions
live in country districts; the primary
problem is that of the peasant. Now,
the moral and industrial regenera-
ton of Negro life in the Black Belts
of the South must come from within;

HON. MARLIN Z. OLMS1

HON. MARLIN Z. OLMSTED.
One of the most popular and lead
ing representatives from the state of
Pennsylvania, is Honorable Marlin
E. Olmsted, of the eighth congress
SiOnal district. He is serving his
seventh term in Congress, as chair
man of the Committee of Elections.
He has the reputation of being one
of the fairest men in Congress. He
is also placed upon some OF the most
important committees in the House
in which positions Mr.. Olmsted never
takes the advantage OF his opponents.
AS chairman of the Committee of
the House, on the State of the Union
he demonstrates his ability in par
liamentary law, and at all times when
there are important bills before the
House no man guards the interests
of the people more than this distin-
guiShed statesman.
In his district he has large color
ed constituency that has the most i'm
plicit confidence in him. The last
election was an evidence of the es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Olmstead is held
by his constituents, both white and
colored.
Honorable Marlin Edgar Olmstead
is a native Pennsylvania, having
peen born in Ulysses Township, Pot
ter County, Pennsylvania. No repre-
sentative stands higher in the esti-
maton of his people than Mr. Ohm
stead. He is never actuated by NAL
ice and neither is he a man who
would take advantage of his opQo-
nents. In all of his political con-
tests he has always left the result to
his constituents. In the last presi-
Dental contest he was one of Mr..
Taft's strongest supporters. He has
been mentioned in many instances as
a good successor of Speaker Cannon.
not that he is a candidate for the
position of Speaker, because he has
never aspired for the position. But
should the Republicans ever desire
a change in the Speakership, no bet
ter qualified parliamentarian could
be selected.

CRUM NOMINATION

Senator Frye Takes Action in Exc
ecutive Session.
Senator Frye, chairman of the
committee on commerce, practically
withdrew the favorable report of the
committee upon the Presidents nom
ination of William D. Crum for an
other term as collector at the port
of Charleston, South Carolina.
This news leaked out from the
executive session. 1t means the de-
feat of the nomination and that the
Democrats. have been successful in
putting the question of the appoint
ment of Negroes to federal offices in
the South squarely up to Mr.. Taft
as soon as he shall become president.

KENNELWORTH, D. c.

Mrs. NJ. w. Hayson, one of the
leading citizens of this place and an
active church worker, was struck
with paralysis in the face last week
while at her home. She left for
Atlantic City, New Jersey, to go un-
der the special care of DIR. Cusy.
She will be gone to weeks. Much
sympathy is expressed for her by
her friends and the citizens of Ken
nelworth. Mrs. Hayson is a re-
markable woman, and her absence
from her home is keenly felt

House was filed from pit to dome
with the citizens OF the Capital.
Here the Register talked especially
upon the necessity of giving equal
rights to all citizens, regardless of
race or color, making an appeal for
fair play for his people.
After the speaking the special car
proceeded to Coyle; from there the
party was transferred to Langston
University where the evening was
spent. Newt morning the students
were assembled to hear the address of
of the Register and others.
The car was transferred to the Santa
Fe tracks and by invitation the Regis
ter and party called upon Governor
Haskell of the new state and discuss
ed with him matters affecting the
race.
They then journeyed on to Okla
homa City, the Metropolis of the
State. That night thousands were
present to hear Mr.. Vernon, who es-
.Pecially encouraged the people of the
new states to remain in Oklahoma,
despite discouragements at the pres
ent time. The great meeting in Con-
vention Hall was followed by a ban
quet given to the Register and party
The private car was then transfer
red to the Katy track and proceeded
to Muskogee, the haven for Negroes
in the new state. Here they were

dience filled Sango's Opera House
that evening. where it was said by
, those present that Mr.. Vernon sur
passed all previous efforts. The
gentlemen in the party accompanied
Mr.. Vernon to Parsons, Kansas, re
turning to their homes in the state
while he left to visit the institution
at Quindaro and to be present at tn,
Lincoln Memorial exercises in tht
capital of his state.
The entire trip was made withou
a hitch
Mr.. Edgar McDaniels, a progres
sive Negro railroad contractor, hav
ing in charge the transportation ia
cilities and being in charge of tn
car was in the company.
Mr., Vernon's trip to the state ha
been a source of inspiration to tn
people of the new state, it has serv
ed to bring about a better relation
ship between the races. 1t is fel
that the white people of prominenc
and the colored people will be en-
abled to reach better understanding
as a result of his speeches. Oklaho
ma is state of wondrous possibil
tiles and Negroes of progressiv
spirit have gathered here.
1t is unanimously agreed that thi

themselves from the encroachment Of
that element in the state who are aP-

TWO COURSES
FOUND WRONG

DR.. Hand of the Y. M. G. A. has
recently been looking over the Boys
Field with the idea of estimating just
what it will cost to have the track put
in proper shape and the infield arrang-
ed for baseball and football.
On measurement the 100 yards stretch
was found to have down grade of IL
inches and the so yards course to have
a drop of seven inches.
This probably explains some of the
rhenomenally fast time which have
been made over these two courses.
