Proper food Is the foundation OF

Grape Nuts, for 1t rebuilds from the

woman says:
Last summer I vas suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food without
great pain, my stomach was so sore I
could hardly move about. This kept
up until l was so miserable life was
not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for

No Room for Uncertainty.
From the National Magazin.

As an indication Of the drollery of
Senator Burton this story Is told of
how he finished a conference with the
remark:
Gentlemen, there is no use in ask
ing; you cannot get the appropria-
tion."
Don't you think this is pretty hard
on us, Mr.. Burton?" inquired one of
h spokesman.
You remind me-, replied Mr.. Bur-
ton, "of the story Of how Solomon Levi
borrowed q thousand dollars from his
friend Einstein. Next day the latter
was shocked to hear that Solomon had
become bankrupt. His annoyance at
the ingratitude OF Solomon increased
when he read the list Of creditors next
day-his own name did not appear. He
FASTENED to find his erstwhile friend
and reproach him:

you do not even include my nam. in

GRAND OPERA MAY
COME TO ATLANTA

Victor Smith, one of the directors of
the Atlanta Music Festival association,
has returned to Atlanta from New York.
where he spent some time in getting bids
for the music festival which is to be Civ
en- next spring.
Mr.. Smith secured bids from the Metro
politan Opera company to come to the
city for a weeks engagement and there
is more than a possibility of that world
famous musical organization being heard
in this city 1t would mean the appear
ance of Caruso. Farrar Scott and other
artists who are known in two hemis-
there's, and the event would totally eclipse
he wonderful she wing of the festival
asst spring, brilliant as 1t was in every
respect.
Mr.. Smith was reticent in discussing
he details of the bid or the probability
Of a contract being consummated until he
has had time to lay the matter before the
directors of the festival association, who
yill hold a meeting at an early date
Made confident by the splendid success
f the musical festival of last spring
which surpassed anything from an artls-
iC and financial standpoint that has evs-
cen undertaken in the SOUTH II seems
ertain the directors will rise to the glo-
ious opportunity which is offered the
city and The necessary guarantee will be
forthcoming without any trouble.

DREADED PELLAGRA
YIELDS TO SCIENCE

Mrs. S. A Middlebrooks. Of 81 West
Harris street.. is one of the very few con-
valescents of the dreaded disease pella-
gra. For nine weeks she was thought to
be at deaths door and during this time
five physicians have diagnosed her case
pellagra and pronounced 1t hopeless.
Pellagra was an unhearo of disease in
America until a short while ago and has
been considered incurable. The recovery
of Mrs Middlebrooks is considered re-
markable from the fact that 1t is mainly
due to a simple tonic and the attention
given the case by a prominent young
physician in the city, who, in order to
make a thorough study of the disease.
gave up his entire practice during the
summer.
For three years Mrs. Middlebrooks has
suffered from this disease but not until
the past few weeks has she had any re-
lief whatever, and the fact that she is
now rapidly recovering means that pella-
gra will no longer be considered neces-
sarily fatal.

WAR ON "REAL" BEER

MACON, Ca, Oct 6.-The alleged sale
of real beer in Georgia, under the guise
of ''near-beer." will in all probability
bring on a strong fight by the Women's
Christian Temperance Union Of Georgia,
now meeting in its 9th annual convention
in Macon. While no formal action has
been taken by the convention, members
of the organization have begun plans to
institute such a campaign. ...
Prominent leaders of the union declare
that the present conditions in Georgia
are farcical and that dealers are reaping
great profits as they do not have to pay
barroom license nor close their saloons on
election days as in the time of the open
barroom.
The union was one of the strongest al
lies of the prohibition leaders when the
law was passed in 1907. Mrs. Mary Harris

ing the fight in the general assembly
The second day of the convention was
marked by an increased number of dele
gates. All of the visitors are wearing
white ribbons and after the sessions these
symbols Of sobriety may be seen in all
parts of the city as the delegates scatter
private families.

livered her annual address and report In
this she cited some of the many steps

FULTON COUNTY POLICE
GIVEN RIGHT TO NAME

For the first time in their history
the members of the Fulton county
police force have the legal right
to the title of county police"
Hitherto they have been merely
roads and bridges inspectors" with
special privileges Of arrest conferred
by having them sworn in as special
deputies by the sheriff. OF course,
none of them has ever inspected a
bridge, and most of them have made
many arrests, but those circumstances
alone could not give them the right
to the title of policemen
However, the legislature recently
passed a bill providing that their Of
fetal status be changed, and in COM
formity to that bill, the board Of
county commissioners Wednesday
morning officially changed the name.
