Keen Day of AtOnement.

When the first stars appeared in the
heavens Sunday evening, October J.
they ushered in the day hottest to the
Jew in his entire religious calendar
From that hour until the evening OF
the following day, October 2, the de-
vout Israelite gave himself entirely TO
God, and to the purifying of his soul
by repentance. 1t was a day spent by
him in meditation and prayer, with no
thought Of the world, its profits or
pleasures. It is the great White Fast
when, abstaining from all food, from
sundown to sundown, the people OF
Israel "afflict their souls" for the sins
of the past year.

DEATH OF DIR. JEROME BRUCE.
Native of Newberry Dies in Florida.
His Adopted State-Was Sincere
ly Esteemed.

Jacksonville, Fla, Metropolis, Sept 20.
After a brief illness at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. P. H. Boyer, 617
Laura street, Dr.. Jerome Bruce, of
Sanford, Fla, quietly passed away at
$40 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Bruce was the author Of that
celebrated portrayal of ante-bellum
days, "Studies in Black and White"
being pre- eminently fitted to write
such a story, as he was one of the fast
decreasing number of "old school
Southern gentlemen"
The talent Of DR.. Bruce was versa
tile, he having been a writer and skill
full medical man. He was more than
this. He was beloved as a man, citiz-
en-, friend and Christian gentleman.
He was a member of the Church Of
Christ.
Was Highly Esteemed.
The following excerpt from an old
issue of the Sanford Herald voices the
esteem OF those among whom DR..
Bruce lived for many decades:
"Dr. Jerome Bruce came to Sanford
in 1894 and for sixteen or seventeen
years was actively engaged in the
practice of medicine, endearing him
self in many ways to the hearts Of
our citizens. AS a physician he stood
in the front rank with an experience
dating back to 1856, at which time he
graduated from Jefferson Medical col
lkge, Philadelphia. He retireS now,
moves away from US, and will be sadly
missed by all who knew him. Inclem-
ent weather, nor feeble health, nor old
age never restrained this noble man
when called on to visit human suffer-
er, no matter how poor or obscure, and
many of these live today to testify to
his professional skill and tender at
tention. His sympathy with his pa
tients was one of his chief character
istics, and his kind words and gentle
touch will long be remembered from
tho roorcio> 4o
1T is with profound regret that our
people part from DR.. Bruce as physi-
clan and friend, and as one of the
most cultured, courtly gentlemen who
ever came into our midst.
Bearing with him the highest es-
TEEN of the community and sincere
love of his friends he returns to his
birthplace, Newberry, S. c., where we
trust he may long live in the enjoy
ment of pleasant old memories and as
sociations."
DR.. Bruce leaves bereaved, wife,
two sons and four daughters, Robley
Bruce, of Palatka; Wallace Bruce, of
Fernandina; Mrs. Kate Norman, of
Kansas City; Mrs. P. H. Boyer, of
Jacksonville; Mrs. F. V S. Chamber
lain, of Honolulu, H. l., and Mrs. E.
L. Vondermark, of Jacksonville.
Rev. J. T. Boone oficiated at the
funeral service at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. H. Boyer, GIT Laura
street, at $50 o'clock this afternoon,
and the private interment being made
at Woodlawn cemetery by Undertaken
Marcus Conant.
The pallbearers were L. P. Vorder-
mark, George Boyer, C.. ". Earring, O.
L. Vordermark, E. l. Vordermark and

for it.
PrevarIcation No. 8. post spends
nearly a million a year in advertising and
relies on that to keep out of the news,
papers the dangerous nature OF the fraud
he is perpetrating on the public.
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of a million year for trade an
nouncements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print them. Large numbers OF newspa-
per men use our products.
They are capable Of telling the public
whether or not we "bribeo them:
It may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 9 states that the amount of the
verdict will "be devoted by the weekly
to exnosing fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, $500, 100000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a discovery" that wheat
bran is a part of Postum.
| But tie criticism neglected to mention
| that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part OF the
beverage.
| They ignorantly fell into trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
| that Taxa Diastase" the article used by
physicians the world over for starch in
digestion" is made from wheat bran"
| So we use that part of the wheat berry
| because it contains the element needed
| to develop the valuable diastase in man
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self-appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor-
ance, but-be patient.
Item II is an illustration of the squirm:
| ing and twisting of the sensational writer
| delivering distorted matter to his read
ers.
While on the witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
| olopy. Dietetics and Psychological re-
lating to the preparation and digestion OF
| food. Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six or eight from memory,
and commented on some clinical expe,,

The attorney "picked up book after

This is an example of distortion and
false coloring to produce an unfavorable
impression.
The facts are Mr. Post purposely intro

by them the truth of his statements re

Distortion No. stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape Nuts
and Postum as "cure-alls for everything.
It has never been the policy OF this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos-
turn to cure anything
We say that in cases where coffee disa..
grees and is causing sickness its dismissal
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest the use of Postum for The
reason that it furnishes hot pa,dtaD,e
morning beverage, and contains natural
elements from the grain which can be
used by nature to assist in rebuilding
nerve centers that coffee may have broken
down.
Likewise Grapefruit food does not
cure anything, but it does assist nature
tremendously in rebuilding, provided the
undigestible food that has been used Is
discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its
place.

Of the National Food & Drugs Act COM
