STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judge’s Opinion of Grape-
Nuts
A gentleman who has acquired a judi
cial turn of mind from experience on the
| bench out in the Sunflower state writes
[ a carefully considered opinion as to the
value of Grape-Nuts as food. He rays:
£ “For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our bill
F of fare.
pr, ’The crisp food with the delicious,
• . nutty flavor has become an indispensa
ble necessity in my family’s everyday
R u, «- *
“It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
.practically abolish pastry and pies from
I our table, for the children prefer Grape
■f; Nuts and do not crave rich and unwhole
some food.
”Grape-Nuta keeps us all in perfect
physical condition—as a preventive of
disease is is beyond value. I have been
particularly Impressed by the beneficial
effects of Grape-Nuts when used by la
? Ries who are troubled with face blem
ishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up
the complexion wonderfully.
“As to its nutritive qualities, my ex
perience Is that one small dish of Grape-
Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for
breakfast, which is an important consld
seratlon for anyone. It satisfies the appe
' rite and strengthens the power of re
listing fatigue, while its use Involves
none of the disagreeable consequences
that sometimes follow a meat breakfast. ’

HOW TO SUCCEED
During the last few years, conditions
In all lines of business, even professional
life, have changed so completely that
every man is waking up to the fact that
in order to win success he must specialize
and learn to do some one thing and do
it well.
So it is with any article that is sold to
the people. It must have genuine merit
or no amount of advertising will main
tain the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched with
much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy. From the very beginning the
proprietors had so much confidence in it
that they invited every one to test it,
free of cost, before purchasing.
It is a physician's prescription.
They have on file thousands of letters
received from former sufferers who are
now enjoying good health as a result of
its use.
However, if you wish first to try a
sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer & Co..
Binghamton. N. Y., and mention this
paper. They will gladly forward you a
sample bottle by mail, absolutely free.

ASKS FOR FRANCHISE
DALTON, Ga., Aug. 9.—The Georgia
Power company Monday night asked for
a franchise to bring their lines into
Dalton, the ordinance to that’ effect be
ing referred to the ordinance committee

was granted, the company would sign an
agreement to have their power here by

The surveys for the tines of the East
ern Tennessee Power company, the com
pany developing the Ocoee river water

ARE BEST IN YEARS

of this and adjoining counties.
It begins to look as if the elements
were conspiring to see just how great
they can make the harvest; for whenever
the crop* begin to look in anyway as
if they needed rain, the rain falls. Yes
terday, an unusually heavy rain fell, wet
ting the ground far down and proving
of intense value to the farmers. The
crops were not, however, even beginning
to suffer for want of rain.
With anything like good seasons now,
the crops will far surpass in quality and
quantity those of any other year in the
history of the county.

CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS
COTTON SILLS OF UDINE
English and New Orleans Rep
resentatives Will Meet on
Saturday Next
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 9.—A conference
on the validation of the cotton bills of
lading is expected to take place here Sat
urday between a Mr. Haight, an English
banker representting the Liverpool Cot
ton association, and foreign financial in
terests, and members of the New Orleans
committee, Col Wexter, Wlllia Mason
Smith and A. Breton. F. I. Kent, of ths
New York committee, was unsuccessful
today in his efforts to effect a conference
between Mr. Haight and others con
cerned in New York at an early date.
The bills of lading question has been
a disturbing factor in the trade since the
Knight-Yancey affair. Southern cotton
men and bankers refused to indorse the
central clearing house scheme proposed
at the New York conference last year,
and its revival at this time, before the
new season is barely begun, leads to the
belief in cotton circles that foreign and
New York financial interests are at
tempting to take advantage of the fact
thta a large crop is to be marketed, the
south not being in a position to dictate
the manner of marketing, as was the
case last season when a much sma*ier
crop was gathered and foreign spinners
needed the cotton.
It is said here that the southern cotton
men and bankers will stand pat, and they
are waiting the arrival of Mr. Haight
with much Interest, as it is regarded as
the first move from "the other aide."
