STOCK COMPANY TO BID GOOD BYE Try the change. You will feel “fit as a lord” in a week’s time hv breakfasting on Grape- Nuts and cream, a little fruit, a soft boiled egg, some nice, crisp toast, and a cup of well-made Postum. If you ever try this experiment, you will always bless the day you woke up. There’s a reason why Grape-Nuts food furnishes power to body and brain. It is made of selected parts of the field grains that furnish phosphate of potash in a natural state that can be assimilated by the human body. This joins with .the albumen of food and forms the gray matter of the brain and nerve centers. Feed skilfully and you can “do things.” The greatest brain workers eat Grape-Nuts. Ask one or two, they’ll tell you. You meat eaters who are ailing in any sort of way should take the hint. A prominent authority says: "There lx no doubt of the fact that meat-eating Is not eisentlal to human life, and that men can be well ooorlahed without resorting to a flesh diet. "I think the statement may be accepted without question that, as a rule, we eat too much, not only of meat, but of all forma of food. The question of limiting the diet Is based primarily not on the principle of economy, but on the requirements of hygiene. "At the early breakfasts which Americans are wont to Indulge tn N that Is, a hearty meal before going to their dally work, the omission of meat la to be earnestly advised. "It Is well known that men who are nourished very extensively on certain cereals are capable of the hardest and moat enduring labor.” You can depend on the energy from Grape-Nuts longer than from any meal of meat. “There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts Made at pure food factories of the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Business Men and Ministers Believe New Era Has Begun. Upon the day following the passage of the prohibition bill by the house, a number of Atlanta's prominent men expressed themselves upon the outlook for the state. There is a spirit of op timism shown In their views, a belief that Atlanta and Georgia will prosper under the reign of prohibition. Some of these statements follow: F. A. Qullllan, Mayor Pro Tern.— “Without the revenue from whisky li censes, the city will have about as much next year for public improve ments and for the maintenance of her government as.she had this year. Pro hibition can do no permanent injury to Atlanta’s schools or to any of her en terprises. It will necessitate a read justment of our budget somewhat, and we will have to pratelce some economy next year. We will not have to pay $75,000 for an auditorium-armory next < year as we did this. We will collect a much greater amount from the Geor gia Railway and Kleetrlc Company. The tax returns will be greater. The Geor gian, you know, helped to save the city 125,000 a year on lights. The city can well withstand the loss of whisky money.” Councilman Charles E. Harman- “The city will go on Just the same, prospering as ever. The prohibition bill will necessitate a rearrangement of our budget, but will bring no se- riouB harm to any proposed improve ments.' From a Merchant. H. T. McCord, of McCord-Stewart ompany—“The passage of the prohi bltlon bill is the greatest piece of leg islatlon In Georgia since Oglethorpe landed. There will be a readjustment In the business affairs of some, but In the end it will be a great benefit to business. More wage-earning people will have homes to purchase than ever before. W. S. Witham, Financial Agent of Nearly 100 Georgia Banks— 1 "It Is the beginning of an era of prosperity such as has never be$n known before in Georgia. But one thing remains. All candidates for public offices in the city or state should be committed to the rMd enforcement of the law. Prohi bition never .failed except through the weakness of anti-prohibition officers. Prohibition will Improve business and will be the greatest blessing that ever happened to the country banks.” Mr. Upshaw Happy, William D. Upshaw, vice president of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, said: “How do I feel? Too full for utter ance! There la a kind of Jubilant tran quillity brooding over my soul. I am in, a state of glorious* paradox. One mo- 1 ment I feel as'tranquil as a summef sea, and the next, tho waves of en thusiasm and thanksgiving mnke whltecaps In my heart. To think that saloons have been driven frbm Geor gia, not by a narrow margin, but by such an overwhelming majority, seems too good to be true. As I sit In my office this morning or stand on the streets I catch a new vision of our beloved Atlanta—of our great Georgia —redeemed. “But as I sttld at the Grady monu ment last night, the thing that makes me doubly thankful Is the beautiful spirit, for the most part, in which this wonderful battle has been fought and won. “Let every man on the victorious side show the saloon men that it is only their business we have been fighting. Wo love them as men and will rejoice to help them be better and more use ful citizens.” James L. Mayson, president of the Fulton County Antl-Haloon League: “The Anti-Saloon League will be kept in close organization and will bend its efforts toward enforcing the law. The men who are elected to office will not be antagonistic to this movement. Next year's council will agree on a platform of thorough and completo enforcement of the law.” Councilman W. H. Terrell: “Georgia was founded upon prohibition. While she fell away for a time, she has re turned to the doctrine of the fathers of the state, I hope, forever. “General James Edward Oglethorpe, tho founder of this state, had prohibi tion put In Its churter and we are only returning to the principles contained in that charter. “I hold no 111 will toward anyone be cause of anything in this campaign, and I hope and believe that everyone else has the same feeling. I do not bo- lievo in persecuting anyone because they were opposed to prohibition, either from principle or for business reasons. “We have done more to solve the LUMBER-LUMBER-LUMBER CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS.

DAVIS, Proprietor. negro problem than has been done since we freed the state from the car pet-baggers' rule. “The thing to do now Is to go ahead and enforce the law as It Is written and to turn our attention to the upbuilding of the state. "With the elimination of the negro from politics and the saloon from the state, Georgia will blossom as the rose." “The Hand of God.” Rev. Richard Orme T'llnn, pastor North Avenue Presbyterian church: “Tho passing of the whisky traffic In Georgia reminds me of Mark Twain’s story of tho man who bought a hog for $2, fed him $40 worth of corn nnd sold him for $6. Tho man s-ald ho made money on the hog, but found it expen sive to feed It. I am glad Georgia Is going out of tho 'hog business.' In all seriousness. I am profoundly grateful for a movement which 1ms manifested the foresight and states manship of our iaw-mak irs nnd tho un mistakable intluence of a higher power In our affairs. The movement has been so sudden and lias developed such strength us can only be explained to me by recognizing In It the hand of God. “I believe that we should see to tho enforcement of the law, electing only those to office who will carry it out. We havo put this evil out of the way nnd It Is now our duty to push un aggres sive campaign for good." “Fight Just Begun.” Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor First Baptist church: 'in my Judgment the fight for prohibition has Just begun. Let not hitn that putteth on his armor WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE, Macon, Georgia.

This will require more earnest nnd concerted effort on the part of I lie good citlxens of Georgia than was necessnry to bring nbout the passage of the prohibition hill. ■'Some years must elapse before, by educational and moral methods, we shall thoroughly enforce the law In those cities where n majority of tho penple are at present opposed to It, Tho millennium has not yet come.
