Lax Public Opinion to Blame.


Lethargic public opinion as. a prime
cause for municipal vice was discussed
recently in Carnegie han by A. Leo Wen,
president of the Voters league OF Pitts
burg, and responsible for the arrest and
conviction of the boodling councilmen In
that city.
There is one cardinal point to be REL
membered,' he said. when you convict
a CRATER you convict the public also. For.
given a public in which there Is a high
moral standard, you will find In that cons
munity no general system of bribery and
corruption. Criminal complacence Is one
of the basic elements of municipal vice.
and where that attitude does not exist. aA
/ say vice is bound to be sporadic.
The only way of keeping men good In
any walk of life is by the finger OF public
opinion. II the accusing finger of public
opinion is kept pointed at the men known
to be guilty OF w~rongdoing as member Of
council or the like, 10 other force need
be applied. The concentrated gaze OF the
public is more powerful than all the law
courts of the world.
Herein lies our difficulty and the diff
ficulty of every community seeking for
better things. The question OF civic bet
terment can be resolved into the simple
proposition of keeping a public conscience
aroused after the first spasm OF horror
occasiOned by graft exposures"

FOOD FACTS.
What an M. ID. Learned.

What an M. ID. Learned.
A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he
makes public:
1T was my w experience that first
lea me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and l also know, from having pre-
scrlbed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is a won
Gerful rebuilder and restorer Of nerve
and brain tissue, as well al muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains Of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me in fact, l was not quite as well as
when l left home.
My food did not sustain me and
1t became plain that l must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food,
and In two weeks l could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in FIVE weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time l have felt as well and strong as
l ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, l consider it a duty to
make these facts public" ,
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.

MYTHOLOGY.

About the barest-faced Of all nature
fakes was the Grecian mythology in
It's day. The Greeks saw dryads where
we see nothing but beer-ads, and heard
voices proceeding from rocks and trees.
Nor were these rocks and trees any of
your mere conversationalists, either.
1t was recorded of them that they
gathered about and listened quietly,
while Orpheus played. and when he
was through did not crowd UP to COM
pliment him on the breadth and-er-
clarity of his Interpretation. This, of
course. is to impute more than human
intelligence.
