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 SunfioweP
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts-
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts~
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
1.-The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
p~ensable necessity in my family's'
everyday life.
ut has proved to be most healthfuD
INT beneficial, and has enabled US to-
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by the bench
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
LAS to it's nutritive qualities, my ex-
~perience is that n small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impOr-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isles the appetite and strengthens thGa
power of resisting fatigue, while it's
use involves none Of the disagreeabls'
consequences that sometimes follow

JAS. c. MANNING SPEAKS.
A Splendid Address.

Bethel Literary and Historical AS
sociation, with all of its list of nota-
bic speakers and its record of magnif-
cent addresses extending over thirty
odd years, has never yet listened to a
more stirring presentation of the So
called race problem in this country
than was delivered Tuesday evening
the 2Ist inst, by Hon. Joseph 6. Man
ming. of Birmingham, Ala. His sub
ject was Questions Of National Con
Germ Coming Up From the Southern
States"
Mr.. Manning showed how a few
thousand Bourbon sOuthrOns dOmina-
ted the entire South before the war,
producing a situation in which even
the slave, himself nothing but a hu-
man Chattel, actually held up to scorn
the nOn-slave-hOlding white people of
that section, CharaCterizing them as
poor white trash" The same condi-
tiOn as to the domination of the many
by the few, Mr. Manning said. has
been reproduced and exists in the
South today. As the speaker drove
home point after point with telling
force. It was seen that he had uttered
practically the last word on this sub
ject when he showed that although
the State of Alabama has in it ap-
proximately half a million men of vot-
ing age, 100000 whites and zoo. 900
blacks, yet in the last general election
the present Governor, O'Neill, rode
into office by majority Of a total
vote of 1000 ballots. These ballots,
OF course, by white men.
The audience sat in wrapt atten-
tion while Mr.. Manning traced the
orIgin of the new constitutions adopt
ed by various Southern States for the
ostensible purpose of disfranchising
the Negro. Laying bare the machi-
nations of the oligarchy, Mr. Manning
showed how the common herd OF
Southern white men had been hood
wlnked into forging chains about their
own liberties, without even realizing
what they were doing. Sham, subter-
fuge, and chicanery befogged the real
issues at all times, so that the true de
SIGN of the favored few self-seekers
was never disclosed
