Six of those who aided in the rescue are in jail hare 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- Battle Creek. Mich. Read the little book.

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.

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 tion today with the selection of St. Paul for the 1913 meeting and election of offi cers.

ATLANTA. GA., FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1912. 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, 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.

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.
