IT’S FOOD That Restores and Makes Health Possible' There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other specialists. One of these told a young lady, of New Brunswick, N. J., to quit medicines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says: “For about 12 months I suffered se verely with gastritis. I was unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was compelled to give up my occupation. “I took quantities of medicine, and had an idea I was dieting, but I con tinued to suffer, and soon lost 15 pounds in weight. I was depressed in spirits and lost interest in everything generally. My mind was so affected that it was impos sible to become interested in even the lightest reading matter. “After suffering for months I decided to go to a stomach specialist. He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the key note of a new life. ‘‘l found that I had been eating too much starchy food which I did not di gest, and that the cereals which I had tried had been too heavy. I soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that one eats, but the quality. “In a few weeks I was able to go back to my old business of doing clerical work. I have continued to eat Grape- Nuts for both the morning and evening meal. I wake in the morning with a clear mind and feel rested. I regained my lost weight in a short time. I am well and happy again and owe it to Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellville,-” In pkgs. “There’s a Reason.” Ever read the above letter?

ATLANTA DOVE HUNTERS KILL 30-POUND rattlesnake and SWEAR OFF FOR THE SEASON This story is true, bechuse they brought back the rattles—l 4of ’em—of a heftiness which leaves no doubt that they must have been appended to the biggest, wick edest dlamimd-back that ever crawled in a Georgia creek bottom. Last Thursday a party of well known railroad men left Atlanta in a private car for a big dove shoot in Lowndes county. Among them were some of the best shots in Georgia, and dogs almost worth their weight In gold, pointers an<J setters so valuable and so worthy of consideration that they were never con signed to baggage cars, but luxuriated with their masters among the velvet cushions of- the Pullman. It was a hunt ing party de luxe, but not a party de lijck, as evehte ihowgd. The car was sidetracked somewhere down near Valdosta, and the party took the field. The very rfrst morning of what was Intended to be a two or three-day hunt, they bagged a splendid lot of doves and quail. The brush was literally full of bird*; the dogs were eager; the marks men were at their best It was still the - .rwy— 11 ■ < nrn ji. h/h morning of the first day when two of Vie party, with the prize setter of the bunch, started up a ’‘branch” where birds were particularly thick. They hadn’t gone SO yards when the dog came to a dead set. The men drew up closer, moving a little <0 one side in order to shoot to the best advantage. Then they gave the dog the signal to flush. There was a whirr—but not of wings. There was a streak of gray and yellow through the air—but not of harmless plumage. The dog jumped ten feet slde waye without having time to utter even a frightened yelp, and the fangs of the seen east of the Rockies missed that ter rorized pup’s quivering flank by a little less than an inch’s margin. One of the two hunters, a noted high DALTON CITY OFFICES TO HAVE NEW QUARTERS DALTON, Ga, Feb. 23.—The recorder's court, clerk’s office and council chamber will soon be moyed Into the first floor of the Argus building on King street, where they will re main until the new city hall Is built.

THIS COW CAUSED PTOMAINE POISONING CAMPBELLSBURG, Ky.. Feb. 22.—Stricken suddenly with Illness Dr. J. B. Buchanan and bls entire family. Including seven members, lay prostrate in their home here todav until several negro servants who were also stricken recov ered sufficiently to telephone for medical aid.

All will recover. MARSHALLVILLE FARMS PLAN BIG CROPS MARSHAIA.VIUJS, Ga., Feb. 22—Wagons, heavily loaded with fertilisers, passing dally in all direct ons from the depots and ware houses, emphasise tbe newspaper statements that more commercial fertilisers are being used upon the fields this year than In any previous year of Georgia’s history. This intensive farm’ng will doubtless bring splendid harvests in the fall. Last year Georgia’s use of these fertilisers was second only to South Carolina, In the amount put upon an acre. One result of this unusual demand is an Increased demand for cotton seed meal to sup ply the nitrogen so essential to plant food. Ag ricultural art’cles In many newspapers have shown the farmers the benefit of cotton seed meal and thus Increased the demand at tbe mills. Jgßfc ABRAM GONZALES. Inzurrecto Provisional Governor of Chib nahna. I HIP official, was a man who knew more about railroading than he did about rattle snakes. The other was a man who knew a good deal about both—and wanted to keep on railroading. “Let’s catch him!” eagerly suggested the first. “What! Me help catch that thing? Not on your life!” hastily answered the sec ond. “I’ve got urgent business in At lanta right now.” Meanwhile, the rattler, recovering from the fruitless spring at the dog, had re coiled Itself on the ground, in a circle about as big as the bottom of a bushel basket, with head upraised some ten Inches, and was ready for further busi ness. It had no intention of yielding the field. The perspicacious pup, by the way, had disappeared over a distant hilltop, headed on a bee line for the grateful refuge of the private car. But the Atlantlan wasn’t quite as afraid as he pretended to be, for, after persuad ing his friend that the serpent wouldn't make a very nice family pet, he went as close as he dared, and blew its head off with a well-aimed charge of No. 8 from his choke-bore. The part of the rattler which was left measured five feet eight inches In length and weighed a fraction over 30 pounds. It was so big around the middle that It couldn’t have crawled through a chorus girl's garter, and its rattles numbered 14, not to mentioA the button. The dog had vamoosed, so the two nlmrods couldn't hunt any more up that branch. That was, of course, the reason they quit, and hurried back to the car. When they got there, they were sur prised to note that the other members of the party, who had gone out in an other ffirection, had also returned. They, too, had encountered a rattlesnake! Twelve hours later the whole party was back In Atlanta. The hair of the handsome black setter pup is now spotched with tufts of gray. LEAVES HER FORTUNE TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES ST.
