The Survey, Muck -Raking
 and Drennen'S

There's been lot of talk on the Survey s Birmingham article, both pro and con. Ger tainly it hurts for an outsider to put his finger on a weak point, whether all he says is true or not We know how it feels. We thought our delivery department was jam up, until a stranger rudely and ruthlessly smashed it to snnithereens-figuratively, of course. It cer- tainly hurt. But after the jar we realized he was partly right. Result: Our delivery today is second to none in Birmingham in general efficiency
 As for the Survey folk we would like very much indeed, if such thing were only pos- sible, to have them walk into Drennen's and put their finger on our weak spots We don't know what they are. But we know we must have some because we cannot be per- fleet, Yet, and we may be pardoned in say ing so, since it's the truth, this store, the ser vice, the very spirit, and the manner and method of doing business at Drennen's is as nearly perfect as Drennen's know how to make it.
 If you like this Drennen spirit, trade here. In This Furniture Sale Muck-Raker Would Be Like Fish Out of Water. Nothing Over stated Nothing Over Praised, Nothing Inferior

To Bring the Babies Around

When little human machine Tor a

important as the selection OF food to

MY little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began 10 cut teeth and,
being SO weak. he was frequently
thrown into commissions says Col.
orado mother.
81 decided a change might help, so
took him. to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was SO very
weak when he would cry he would sink
away and seemed like he would die.
When Preached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, though I'had
never used the fool, we got some and
for few days just gave him the Juice
OF Grape-NGts and milk. He got
stronger SO quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts Itself and in a
wonderfully shcrt time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my lt:tle
girl came, l raised her on Grape. Nuts
and she is strong, healthy baby and
has been. You will see from the little
photograph send you what strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like tha. be-
fore we found this nourislEng food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when he was SO weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his

Land Contract Clause is Found To Be
Constitutional

Land Contract Clause is Found To Be
Constitutional
The mortgage tax law as passed by
the 1911 Legislature was upheld In an
opinion handed down by the supreme
court and the land contract clause
found TO be constitutional The opinion
was based on the case Of Herbert Bowen
of Detroit VS. William Moeller, county
treasurer of Wayne county.
Bowen had a land contract executed
in 1909, and in February, 1912 presented
the same to the county treasurer and
rendered the tax OF one half of one per
cent Of the amount. This was refused
by Mr.. Moeller. who held that the law
fixing taxes on mortgages and land
contracts provided that in order TO OBJ
tain the tax of one half of one per cent
the contract mad TO be executed and the
tax paid by January /, 1912. This
Bowen nad not done, and Judge Bird,
in his opinion holds with the county
treasurer and at the same time settled
the question as 20 the validity of the
mortgage tax law.
