STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a: ju-
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out In the sunfower
State writes q carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 8 years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table. for the children prefer
Grapefruit and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as preventive Of
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benen-
ctal effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
BY ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
AS to its nutritive qualities, my ex.
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
lsies the appetite and strengthens the
power OF resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none Of the disagreeabls
consequences that sometimes follow

THE rRsrDNT1A1 CAMPAIGN OF 1sl.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1914
BY ithis time next year we will find
the politicians lining up for a presiden-
tiaI election. On the first Tuesday in
November, 1912, we will either re-elect
Mr. Taft or some new man to that posi-
ton, but the wires are now being laid
for that venture. The water is heating
to get up steam.
To one as old as I am. 1t does seem
as If the people Of the United States
should have some say so in the selection
of our chief magistrates. but the masses
have no, more to do with picking out a
candidate than a six-weeks old baby has
choice a sto it's baby shoes.
1 can recollect as far back as the Har-
rison campaign in 1S40-the log cabin
campaign-"of Tippecanoe and Tyler,

and I know how badly felt over the
defeat.
People talk about exciting presidential
campaigns very often, but the Polk and
Clay canvass was a sure. enough hot
time, in Georgia. There we're no tele-
phones and no railroads in our part of
the state. / cannot tell right now

there were in the Ian and teelgraphs.
The stage coach carried the mails
from Augusta to north Georgia and we
lived ten miles south of Decatur on the
stage coach line. The mails were dis

west of the stage coach line.
Everything was slow with long dealys.
Sometimes the stage coach GOT water

maybe that week
