A FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the True Road to
Health
The pernicious habit some persons stil’
have of relying on nauseous drugs to re
lieve stomach trouble, keeps up the pat
ent medicine business -and helps keep
up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion—dyspepsia—is caused by
what is put into the stomach in the way
of improper food, the kind that so taxes
the strength of the digestive organs they
are actually crippled.
When this state is reached, to resort to
tonics is like whipping a tired horse
with a big load. Every additional effort
he makes under the lash diminishes
his power to move the load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving off
heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take
on Grape-Nuts—light, easily digested
full of strength for nerves and brain, in
every grain of it. There’s no waste of
time nor energy when Grape-Nuts is the
food.
*'l am an enthusiastic user of Grape-
Nuts and consider it an ideal food,”
writes a Maine man:
“I bad nervous dyspepsia and was all
run down food seemed to do me
but little good. From reading an adver
tisement I tried Grape-Nuts food. and.
after a few weeks' steady use of it. felt
greatly improved.
•’Am much stronger, not nervous now,
and can do more work without feeling so
tired, and am better every way.
”1 relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls as the
cereal part of a meal. I am sure there
are thousands of persons with stomach
trouble who would be benefited by using
Grape-Nuts. Name given by Postum Co-

COL ROBERT J. LOWRY
ADDRESSED BANKERS
Well Known Atlantian Re
sponded to Speech of Wel
come at Detroit
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
DETROIT. Mich.. Sept. 11.—Col. Rob
ert J. Lowry, president of the Lowry
National bank, of Atlanta, in a happy
response to the addresses of welcome
at the bankers’ convention yesterady
recalled that it was in Detroit fifteen
years ago that he surrendered the presi
dency of the association.
Ha Insisted that the nation’s bankers
were interested not alone in their in
dividual prosperity, but in the general
welfare of the county; that they had
declared for sound money when most
of the politicians of the country were
talking about free silver and bimetal
ism. He declared in favor of a bigger
navy, for the upbuilding of a merchant
marine and for improving our consular
service.
Colonel Lowry’s speech follows:
••We appreciate your words of cor
dial welcome more than I have words
at my command to express. However,
we expected this before we came here
—that is. those of us who have enjoy
ed your hospitality in years past, and
those of us who have not been here
before will know hereafter what De
troit hospitality means.
LOOKING BACK.
"Looking back through memory’s eye,
not bedimmed by the fifteen years which
have elapsed. I see two magnificent
steamboats linked together, filled with
the most tasteful viands to eat, the
most exhilarating liquids to drink and
the most beautiful and attractive ladies
to admire, for all of which your great
city enjoys a merited fame; which was
a most enjoyable treat to all of us who
had the opportunity and pleasure to
attend the 1887 convention of the asso
ciation here. I recall also that magnifi
cent luncheon given by Walker Brothers
across the river in Canada, on that
beautiful green plot of four or five
acres; a most inspiring and enjoyable
occasion. With that distinctly in my
mind, who could wonder that 1 say
that those of us who have been here
before know what Detroit can do when
she gets "on the job?*
"In this city fifteen years ago I laid
down my commission as president of
this association, to which office the as
sociation had been good enough to elect
me the previous year In St. Louis. It
was indeed gratifying to see the good
work that had been done beginning to
show results, for It will be remember
ed that our association declared for
sound money, when we were Importun
ed by all political parties to consider
the free coinage of silver, bimetalism
and other propositions. After this dec
laration in 1896 it was here, in 1897,
that good results began to show, and in
the subsequent years the history of
the country has vindicated the judgment
of the association on that question.
PREDICTS PROSPERITY.
"As bankers, we are patriots, and are
interested in everything that interests
our country. Our vocations are such
that we could not be otherwise than pa
triots. Integrity is the cornerstone up
on which the superstructure of our bus
iness and our association stands. W e
have asked for no special laws, but we
favor general laws which are applicable
for the good of the people of the whole
country, for we stand for the growth
and uplift of the nation, and we are
only successful individually when the
whole country enjoys prosperity.
"Aside from our interest in home de
velopment and progress, we stand for
the better ment of our consular service
abroad, for the building up of a strong
American merchant marine and the
strengthening of our navy. Much has
been done along these lines, but I fear
not as much as should have been done,
for this great country should have all
the prestige on the high seas and in
foreign lands which its wonderful
growth, industry and intelligence at
home should warrant
T will not take more of your time,
as there are other gentlemen to follow
me who can entertain you better, but
let me in closing tender to you the
greetings of the beautiful southland,
the home of sentiment as well as in
dustry; the land which cherishes its
history and tradition, but is alive to
the opportunities for twentieth cen
tury progress. Our crops are just now
being gathered, and are much better
than we had expected. Our people are
hopeful and happy, and extend to you
all a cordial invitation to come down
•South in Dixie’ whenever you have the
opportunity. 1 thank you.
National conventions of the trust com
panies. savings banks, clearing house and
state secretaries’ sections of the Ameri
can Bankers’ association cleared up much
routine business at their opening ses
sions today and then listened to ad
dresses. George M. Reynolds, of Chi
cago, discussing the “Monf*' Trust In
qury.” was the first speaker at the trust
company’s convention.
TODAY’S BUSINESS.
Success of the government’s postal sav
ings bank system as viewed by Theodore
L. Weed, director of the system, was
the principal address delivered to the
savings bank section. Mr. XV eed said the
federal savings bank system, instead of
competing with other financial organisa
tions, has proved to be a help, encourag
ing thrift on the part of various classes
who never had been customers of any
bank.
The director saw in the government’s
savings system a mode of education for
many persons who might be expected to
become, for the first time, regular depos
tors in banks not operated by the gov
ernment.
Sol Wexter. of New Orleans, speaking
to the clearing house section, discussed
the “functions of the modern clearing
house.”
ST. PAUL SELECTED.
The National Association of Supervisors
of State Banks concluded their conven

STORY MOOT 00STING
M’COMBS IS ILL FALSE
Rumor Was Started From
Some Malicious Source,
Says Gov, Wilson
BY BALPH SMITH.
JERSEY CITY. X. J., Sept. 11.—The
recurrent report that William F. Mc-
Combs is to be "ousted” from the man
agement of the Democratic national
campaign is annoying and distressing to
Governor Wilson. It is his belief that
the "false and cruel rumors upon which
they are founded proceed from some
malicious source.”
Governor Wilsons attention was to
day called to a story appearing in the
Brooklyn Eagle yesterday, in which it
was stated that McCombs would be
forced to retire from the national chair
manship. He w’rote a letter to the ed
itor of the Eagle, denying the rumor.
“Mr. McCombs will not only remain
chairman, but his counsel is of constant
service to the committee even while he
is confined to his room,” says the letter.
"We are looking forward with the
greatest pleasure to his active resump
tion of his duties.”
SAW HIM YESTERDAY.
Governor Wilson rarely visits New
York that he doesn't see McCombs per
sonally. On last Monday he drove out
to Flushing to see his campaign man
ager.
Governor Wilson came from Atlantic
City to Jersey City today to attend the
annual outing of the Hudson County
Democracy. He will review a parade of
some 12.000 or 14,000 Democrats, and
expects. to hold several important con
ferences. Tonight he will leave for
Syracuse, where, tomorow, he will make
a speech at the state fair and address
the New York state county chairmen.
The governam was up with the sun
this morning, notwithstanding the
strenuosity of yesterday. He left At
lantic City at 7:30. His day in At
lantic City was marked by many en
thusiastic ovations and his speech at
the steel peer last night was heard by
6,000 persons.
A STOLEN PIE MAY
COST WILSON VOTES
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala.. Sept. 12.—A
stolen pie may cause the loss of two
votes to Woodrow Wilson, Governor
O’Neal holds the balance. If it tips
one way Wilson will lose. If it tips the
other the former Princeton president will
receive two extra votes in Alamama and
two young south Alabama men will
have • their civil rights restored.
The pie was stolen from the buggy of
a farmer at an all-day picnic. The
young men were arrested, convicted, fined
and their civil rights taken away. They
are free now and have appealed to Gov
ernor O'Neal to order their names re
stored to the registration book. The
trial judge and other prominent men
have requested Governor O’Neal to grant
the request.
Fun prompted the men to take the pie.
according to their statements, and they
meant no harm when they slipped up to
the buggy and appropriated the one
chicken pie. Governor O'Neal has the
matter before him and will act in time
for tlie young men to register if he de
cides to restore their civil rights.

CUMMING IS QUIET;
STOREHOUSE BURNED
Fire Is Not Believed, However,
to Have Been of
Incendiaries
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CUMMING, Ga.. Sept. 11.—information
was received here today of the burning
early this morning of the store house
and contents of W. J. Buice, five miles
south of this place.
Although the fire follows closely after
the disorders of the past few days,
it is not believed that firebugs had
anything to do with the store house’s de
struction. Although bloodhounds have
been secured frohn Buford to discover
trails, it is the consensus of opinion
that the fire was caused by rats eating
loose matches in the store house. The
store house was valued at $2,500. There
was no Insurance.
The coroner’s Inquest, held over the
body of Rob Edwards, the negro lynched
at this place, returned a verdict that
Edwards came to his deatfi from gunshot
wounds and his head being crushed in
by mob violence, the parties being un
known to the jurors. The inquest was
held Wednesday morning in the court
house park, and was not attended by
any disorder of any kind.
The town is quiet and there is no in
dication of any further disorder.

THOUSANDS OF CHICKENS
KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Also Many Guinea Pigs, Rats
and Rabbits in Bronx
Zoo
(By Associated Erosa.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—From all
parts of eastern New York and western
Connecticut there came today reports
of the heavy damage caused by light
ning and hail during a brief but violent
storm last night. The loss to the Con
necticut Tobacco company crop fr.om
the hail is estimated at |IOO,OOO. The
hailstones in some sections were so
large that they went through the roofs
of barns and outhouses, while hundreds
of windows were shattered.
In the vicinity of West Point the
wind was very violent. Fifty trees in
the Military academy camping ground
were uprooted, telephone and telegraph
wires were torn down and considerable
damage was done to crops and hot
houses.
LIGHTNING DAMAGE.
Lightning started scores of fires in
Connecticut villages. At Flushing, N.
Y., the electric lightning system was
put out of commission for twenty-four
hours by a bolt, and at Manhasset, N.
Y., Christ church, one of the oldest and
most imposing church edifices on Long
Island, was hit and burned to the
ground.
IN BRONX ZOO.
In New York City the storm showed
its most destructiveness at the Bronx
zoological park, where lightning wreck
ed the “raising ranch,” a section of the
park devoted to the cultivation of do
mestic animals to be used as food for
the denizens of the cages and dens in
the adjoining enclosure. The raising
ranch just before the coming of the
storm had more than 3,500 chickens, rats,
pigeons and guinea pigs, all of

CANAL ACROSS FLORIDA
PLANNED Bl Mil MEN
Waycross Board of Trade Of
fers Co-operation for
Movement
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WAYCROSS. Ga., Sept U,—More than
usual interest Is being taken here in
the idea advanced by an Atlanta man to
secure government aid in constructing
a canal ‘across Florida.
Six months ago the plan suggested
by the Atlanta man was approved here
by the board of trade, and last night »
committee was named to put new life in
the proposition and see if some prom
ises of the right kind could not be ob
tadned.
A canal across Florida would place
Waycross nearer deep water and give
the city lower freight rates.
The route through the St. Marys and
Suwanee rivers is the one favored here,
and from' Investigations and surveys
made by the government the route la a
feasible one and could be used with no
great expenditure if present forces and
machinery at the Panama canal were
used.
