A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty. starchy, greasy stuils on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady OF Washington says: Three
years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. | laid in bed four
months and my stomach Was so weak
that | could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger rely on Grape.Nuts for
much of the nourishment that get,
The results have certainly been Won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest

Stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but that DR.. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong Mr.
Balliett mentioned q case where, with
all the power Of the Government, he
fought preparation as being danger
Gus TO health, and was inglorously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
g clever faker can mix few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising
sell tons Of it and win sudden wealth;
whereas, as a matter Of fact, the medi,
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult
and, where there has been one success
at it, there have been a hundred fail
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been On the market for o
number Of years, and is still adver
tised must have merit behind il to 40
count for its success.
In conclusion Mr.. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
its readers in the matter Of medical
or other advertising, unless it investi-
gates, not only the wording of the ad-
vertisemert offered for publication,
but the merits of the article adver-
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy Of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
| policy, rather than to form an inves-
! tigation bureau OF this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful ef-
| fort, investigate and decide what is
good product and what is a fraud,
in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver-
tises its wares to the public
The audience seemed to agree with
Mr. Balliett's ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question al
issue in his favor.

KATY SUED FOR $500 IN 8 CASES.
THEE Passengers Elected at CaddO
Ask Damages in Sum Of
$1,000 Each.

The Katy railroad company has 'its

age suits in the sum of $4,000 each,
as a result of instructing it's auditors
to collect cents mile from intra-
State passengers, when paying cash
fare, as the three men who were eject
ed at Caddo on Decembr 29, for refus-
ing to be held up for cent fare,
have each filed suit against the Katy

T. NJ. Mcdaniel, giving his residence
as Mckinney, Texas, alleges that on
the date named he attempted to buy
ticket at the Durant depot to Nc
Alester, and that the agent of the
company refused and failed to sell
the ticket That he boarded the train
and rendered the regular prescribed
far to McAlester, and that the audi

accept he fare, but stopped the train
at Caddo and elected the plaintiff by

p B. Green recites the same facts

that his home is in Muskogee, Okla,

The three plaintiffs are represent

be tried at the next term of the dis

To see dozens OF business men don
their old clothes, grab a shovel, or q

when a representative of about every
business institution in the city turned

WAY FOUND TO COLLECT

COurt-If City Does not Appeal

A way has been found whereby the
city can legally pay the outstanding
labor accounts, and all accounts un-

fused to allow to be paid by refunding
bonds, and whereby the many citizens
of Durant who have performed man
ual labor in the city's behalf, will be
enabled to get their money, in legal
way, and with no expense savt wait

On the 9Th of this month, J. II.
Hudspeth filed suit in Justice Apples
court against the city for $6762, for
labor performed, and on the Sth
Judge Apple issued a judgment
against the city in favor of the plain
tiff for the amount prayed for with
costs of slut. On tn same date ]. l..
Robinson filed his suit for $163 for
labor perfored and on the Sth judg-
rendered in his favor. Since that
time other suits of similar nature have
been filed or prepared to be filed.
Such judgments, as we understand
the law. may be included in the city's
next estimate and tax levied with
which to pay them.
The matter was discussed at the
council meeting this week.. but no ac-
ton taken. If the city fails to appeal
from the judgment of the justice courI
within ten days from date of rendition
the judgmtnts become final. When
considered, the fact that the accounts
are honesty deu the men from the
city. and the further fact that the
city is morally, if not legally, bound
to pay them, it is thought that the
mayor an dcouncil will not take au
appeal.

FARMERS FAVOR ROAD BONDS.

(From the Bennington Tribune)
Since our article of two weeks ago,
in which we declared in favor of Il
bond issue of not less than 100000
for the purpose of building roads and
bridges in Bryan county, there has
been many prominent farmers, and
many of them heavy tax payers, come
to us and stated that they were in
favor of such proposition. The peo-
pie realize that our roads all over the
countryare in very bad condition
and that it's going to take money and
lots of it to get them in, shape.
It used to be that whena road got
too bad to travel, all you had to do
was to drive out around it and in
that waythe roads were always pass
able. Now that the roads are con-
fined to lanes there are but two things
to do when the bottom falls out, one
is to fix 1t. and the other is not to
travel.
Our roads must be put in shape If

what II should be, or must let 1t go

the fences. What We have had for
