After Bn Investigation by the mem bers of Shiloh Baptist church. Judge James A.

Mrs. Castino came to Atlanta and charged that Judge Drewry had failed to keep his promise to marry her and sho threatened to bring a suit for breach of promise. In addition to be Ing ordinary of Spalding county. Judge Drewry is a preacher and Mrs. Cas tlno's charges created the greatest sen. satlon. Judge Drewry asked for the Investigation and sent In his resigna tion, which the congregation refused to accept. The following is from the committee of the church: Charges Refuted. Readers of the dally press, about May 24, were made familiar with cer tain charges, and threats of a breach of promise suit by a Mrs. Louise Cas tlno. of Boston, against I lev. James A. Drewry, a prominent Baptist minister of Griffin, Ga, and also ordinary of Spalding county. Shiloh Baptist church, of Monroe county, one of the oldest Baptist churches In the state. Is one of the churches served by Rev. Drewry, and in justice to all concerned, entered into a thorough Investigation of the mat ter. ooverlng several weeks. Rev. Drewry was not only exonerated, but his conduct commended by the com. mlttee In charge of the Investigation. The following Is the report of the church: "Whereas, Our Investigation of the charges brought l>y a Mrs. Castino against our pastor, the Rev. J. Drewry, and as these charges affect seriously the character of a minister of the gospel, we have gone very care fully with our Investigations, covering a space of five weeks, endeavoring to ascertain the truth and nothing but the truth. In view of the facts brought out. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That the very least that can be said Is that it was* an attempt to extort money from Rev. Drewry, falling to do so. The newspnper re port followed: being an effort to black mall pure and simple; and resolved* "Felled in Agreement.” We commend the manner with which our pastor met and overturned tho powers of evil that came against iilm, and that we exonerate him from every standpoint, by declaring him to be a Baptist minister worthy to occupy any pulpit, and his teachings are protltable to us and our children. And, whereas, Tho Atlanta Constitution, purporting to bo one of the leading newspapers of Georgia, did publish the report as com ing from Mrs. Castino, and allowed some one of their news reporters to comment freely and recklessly upon the letters and conduct of our pastor, whose llfo of thirty years of righteous living Is known, and stands as an open book to all the" people In and around Griffin, his home, we feel Justified from the evidence given us, that The Con stitution failed to " ment with Judge l. . . letters In full, thereby lending Its as sistance to Mrs. Castino in her attempt to blackmail our pastor; therefore, be It Resolved, That unless The Constitu tion shall give some evidence of try ing to atone for the wrong done our pastor, and our church, we shall deem it our privilege to look upon It as a dally paper seeking things sensational to the extent that overshadows truth, righteousness and unworthy of our support and a place In our ho Issolred. That we ask The Christian Jex, The Atlanta Journal, glnn and News and Grill publish our report, end we take the liberty to commend them for the lack of Interest they exhibited In Mrs. Cas- tlno's rsport by not publishing sam< Respectfully submitted. 8.

If that food contains the right elements and digestion and assimilation are perfect, the Brain will act in the sanest, clearest manner. If improper, indigestible food is taken, eaten with nervous haste and in excessive quantities, the diges tive organs cannot convert it entirely into real susten ance and it lies in the stomach too long and decays. “Decay” means that bacteria begins to work and these living organisms produce toxic or poisonous mat ter which is quickly absorbed with what little food them * iaR been digested, and carried into the blood. t This poisoned blood goes to the Brain as well as elsewhere, and the Brain with all its connecting nerves, being the most sensitive tissues of the body— the seat of thought and execution of the same—is acted upon tho samo as when alcohol or any other poison is taken, only in different degree. Dull, sluggish, half asleep, unable to think clearly and promptly—anything but “Brainy”—is the person so fed. In fact it is not feeding but poisoning, and a Brain so treated cannot be successful. A genuine food for the Brain is Grape-Nuts. “Why,” someone asks. Analysis of Grape-Nuts will show Phosphate of Potash as found in wheat and barley of which the food is made. This Phosphate combines with Albumen and water in the human body and builds the soft gray filling of the nerves and brain cells; then again the food is easy of diges tion because it is cooked at the factories in such a manner as to transform the starch of the wheat and barley into a form of sugar, to be seen under a strong glass on each granule of Grape-Nuts. This sugar was not “put on” or poured over, but exudes during the process of cooking and is really the starch turned to sugar and readv to be absorbed into the blood. So with Grape-Nuts we have the food with the right things Nature demands for Brain-building and we also have a food easy of digestior Make the trial, it’s worth while. It’s a profound demonstrable tnitb. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Special to Tbs Georxtin. Macon, Go., July 17.—Attorney John R. Cooper, who Is representing Tom Battlo, recently convicted of. murder and now. serving time In the Federal prison In Atlanta, stated that he feels sure that Battle will be acquitted when the case Is appealed In Washington next October.
