HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.


There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact.
A case in point is that of practition-
er, one Of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
Il had always had an intense preju-
dice, which 1 can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, 1 never
read a line of the many ads OF Grape
Nuts, nor tested the food till last win
ter:
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest
little boys / ever saw. I ate my first
dish Of Grape-Nuts food for supper with
my little grandsons.
Il became exceedingly fond of it and
have eaten a package of 1t every week
since, and find 1t a delicious, refreshing
and Strengthening food, leaving no i'll
effects whatever, causing no eructations
with which / was formerly much
troubled), no sense Of fullness, nausea,
nor distress of stomach In any way.
r There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
II am stronger and more active since 1
began the use of Grape-Nuts than
have been for 10 years, and am no longer
troubled with nausea and indigestion"

DOUBLE FEEDER Magnetic.

During the many years that c. r.
Splitdorf has been manufacturing mag
netos he has never missed an oppor-
tunity to improve it, and he has now
brought out the latest thing in ignition
apparatus, which is the Splitdorf double
distributor, This magnetic is SO de-
signed and constructed that two sparks
are delivered simultaneously in each
cylinder at the firing point. These
sparks are absolutely s~ynehronized. due
to the fact that the breaker for both
Plugs is the same. The delivering of
two sparks at the same moment at
different positions in the cylinder in
creases the power in the T-head type
of motor from Is to 20 per cent, while
in the L-type motors the power in
crease is from 8 to Is per cent This
magnetic decreases the necessity of the
excessive spark advance heretofore
necessary with the single type of igni-
ton in order to ecu the maximum
power from the motor, and these work
ing together burn up the compressed
charge more rapidly than where one
spark is used. This burning up on the
charge in such a short space of time
gives a maximum pressure in the cylin-
der at dead centre with a much shorter
advance on the piston travel than is
needed with the single system.

A NATIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

The American Musician, in a recent
editorial discussing what musical In
strument could be most appropriately
adopted as the national instrument OF
America, selects the automobile honk-
honk as fulfilling all of the require
ments. The article says that the honk-
honk is even better than the noble
mouth-organ or the dulcet f~sh-horn,
and that every true American is bent
upon getting one, even to the extent of
mortgaging his house. But the honk-
honk is in reach of the small taxpayer
also, as the article truly says, as fol-
lows:
1--WE want to bring this subject be-
fore the masses; before those who can't
afford an auto, but who can afford a
honk-honk. 1t is not necessary to own
an auto in order to own a honk-honk.
A honk-honk can be purchased for a
nominal sum and it requires no atten-
ton whatever. In this respect 1t is
vastly superior to any other musical
instrument. You can carry it about
with you, in rain or sunshine; it's sweet
voice is always ready to respond to
the slightest touch and you can give
infinite pleasure to those at a distance,
especially at night, when its soothing
strains would be most welcome"

Savannah Man Charges He was
Duped by "Divorce" Lawyer.
Savannah, Ca, May 6.-Primus
J. Williams had narrow escape from
committing bigamy He alleges that
he paid a lawyer $3.50 to represent
him in divorce proceedings, and that
the attorney gave him legal look
ing document purporting to be
genuine divorce. The lawyer, l. j.
Perlue, it is charged, gave Williams
a bogus document in return for the
fee paid him, and he now faces
charges of conducting divorce bu-
reau out of court, accepting money
for services he did not render, and
signing the name of another to
counterfeit divorce verdict. He was
arrested yesterday, after being IN
Jail several days on other charges.
Williams read in the newspapers
about the first arrest of Perlue, and
he then made a careful examination
of the paper the lawyer had given
him. He was making preparations
to be married at an early date.

Bondsmen Must Pay.

Columbia, May 9.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Gov. Blease has
paroled Eugene Hogan, Jr., the young
man from Sumter, who was convict
ed of assault and battery and SEN
fenced to five years, later leaving the
State, the bondsmen will most prob
ably have to pay Immediately the
amount of Hogan's bond, which is
$1,000.
The matter came up in the su-
preme court to-day, the appeal from
circuit judges order being dismiss
ed. Judge Ernest Gary had ordered
Hogan to appear with his bondsmen
at one term of court, the same at
which the order was issued. Later
in the same term he issued another
order, requiring Hogan's bondsmen
to appear at the next term. No or
der estreating the bond has ever
been issued.
The effect of the supreme courts
order dismissing the appeal is to
send the case back to the circuit
court for such an order; counsel for
Hogan's bondsmen made the point
that Hogan has recently been parol-
ed. The court stated this made no
difference in the consideration of the
estreating of bond. Hogan's bonds
men are his father, Eugene Hogan,
Sr., and his uncle, w. B. Boyle.
