the "rial thing" In meal and hominy Is
h-rdly to lie had In New York city. ||*
says: "In all New York there 1* hardly
a dealer who knows what good rarnnieal
and g,el hominy mean. Thu wor hb-ss
stuff they sell Is a kind of veg, ta > e
sand. The life of the cereal is killed ly

itniurt such luxuries from the old-time

brands of hominy are sold h.-re In .no

m.e-t of It is mere mush when lolled."
Here, then, is at least one optortunHy
for the young man Absalom, concerning
whose future Mr Bryan was recently in
much fear. The young man, or the young
men, who have the business ability to
supply the North, or the country, or any

contained all of the Ingredient* of the

tho phosphates, and no kiln-drying to kill
the life-giving properties of the gran.
And In the grinding the slow-moving nt.il
