BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS Public Improvements Have Brought Prosperity to the Town. Special to The Georgian. Oreensboro, Ga, May 1*.—Surely re rent events should convince the moat xkeptlcal that there should no longer be doubt that Greensboro Is destined to take her place among the progressive cities of middle Georgia. Wide-awake and far-seeing business man, such as Senator K. A. Copelan, sse In the fu ture of the town sufficient encourage ment to place. In addition to his al ready heavy holdings, a contract for a 815,000 block. In 1818 a little band of citizen, got together and decided that It was cheallbr mid safer to construct a system of waterworks and thus lessen the risk of tire, and in addition give us purer and better water for domestic purposes. Notv there Is not a citizen of either town or county who does not give them praise. In 1900 It was con ceived that a cotton mill would be a good thing for the city, and now there Is not u man who will dare assert that the mill here Is not a benefit to the city and community. Then came the oil mill, the electric lights, sewerage and the'publtc school systems. > Now, In direct line and as a result of those Improvements, comes the letting of this big contract by Senator Cope Ian. The major part of this new building will be occupied by ths Farmers' Mer cantile Company.

It af fects the bowels because white bread is nearly all starch, and starch Is di gested In the Intestines, not In the stomach proper. Up under the shell of the wheat berry Nature has provided a curious deposit Which Is turned Into diastase when It Is subjected to the saliva and to the pancreatic Juices In the human Intestines. This dlaataas Is absolutely necessary to digest starch and turn It Into grape •ugar. which Is the next form; but that part of the wheat berry makes dark flour, and the modern miller can not readily eelt dark flour, ao Nature's valuable dlgeeter Is thrown out and tbe human system must handle the starch as beat It can. without tha help that Nature Intended. Small wander that appendicitis, peri tonitis, constipation and all aorta of troubles exist, when we go ao contrary to Nature’s law. The food experts that perfected Grape-Nuts food, knowing these facts, made use. In their experi ments, of the entire wheat and barley. Including all the parts, and subjected them to moisture and long continued warmth, which allows time and the ptopfer conditions tor developing the diastase, outside of the human body. In this way the starchy part la trans formed Into grape sugar In a perfectly natural manner, without the use of chemicals or any outside Ingredients. The little sparkling crystals of grape sugar can be seen on the pieces of Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is naturally predlgeeted and Its use in place of bread will quickly correct the troubles that have been brought about by the too free use of starch In the food, and that le very common tit the human race today. The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten days or two weeks, and the discon tinuance of ordinary white bread. Is very marked. The user will gain rapid ly In strength and physical and mental health.
