No occasion of the rural mall car
riers' stay In Atlanta brought more
genuine pleasure than the trip to Tuck,
er. tho DeKalb county home of Presi
dent Paul L. Lindsay, Thursday.
It was one of October's rarest days
In north Georgia. The sunshine was
gold, the nlr like wine, and over the
rugged hills anil rolling lands tho
dreamy haze of Indian summer lay In
Its Indefinable, restful charm.
And the visitors were like a happy-
hearted care-free lot of boys from the
time the special rolled out of the un
ion station at 1 o'clock to the return
In mid-afternoon.
They frolllcked, played pranks
each other, laughed, Joked and had the
time of their life.
"Well, I haven’t had so much fun
and enjoyed lifo so since I was a boy,’
said one sturdy old carrier from Mich,
lgan.
That sentiment was probably the
unanimous verdict of every man and
svoman In the party—and the ladles
were there In number! and had aa good
a time as anybody.
Paul Lindsay was here, there and
everywhere. He wanted each Individ
ual to feel that the day was as much
his as any other man's. And It Is that

le&red this strong-faced young Geor
glan to 33,000 rural moll carriers, quite
as much os hla qualities of leadership.
And how the two officials from ths
national capital did enjoy things. Gen.
eral DeGraw and Mr. Spllman were
boys with the others, and for ths time,
at least, put aside the dignity of official
place, and met every carrier aa man to
man.
Brought In Close Touch.
'This day will be worth much to ua
all,” said one carrier. "It has brought
ua In close touch with the men who are
In power In Washington. After all,
they are Just plain, simple, earnest
men like any of the carriers.”
Arriving at Tucker shortly before
noon, the ISO visitors walked the die
tance of half a mile to President Lind
say's pretty little home, set In the midst
of a grove and looking out on smiling
fields of cotton and corn.
In the distance the huge bulk
Stone Mountain was plainly visible.
To a large number of the visitors the
whole experience was a novel one. The
long pit with Its smoking, savory
meats; proved a magnet to draw many,
who stood around and. sniffed the de
licious odors with constantly growing
Interest.
Others scattered through the cotton
fields and woods, gathering souvenirs
of cotton, persimmons and goldenrod.
Throughout the time Mrs. Lindsay did
all In her power to make everyone fee]
at home, caring especially for the la
diet In the party.
General DeGraw and Mr. Spllman
were always the center of Interested
groups, discussing various matters and
problems of the carriers and thq serv
ice. A large proportion of the car
rlers knew Mr. Spllman personally, but
It was the first time General DeGraw
had ever attended one of the conven
ttons.
Barbecue Popular.
At 1:30 o'clock the gueata were In
vlted to the long tables to eat the de
llclous barbecued meats, and the way
It disappeared was ample tribute to the
repast. The Brunswick stew seemed to
attract the Northern visitors especially.
“Give me some more of that hash,'
was the constant cry.
At 3:30 o'clock the elghteen-mlle
trip back to the city was begun. Ev
erybody united In saying that It was
one of the most delightful days they
had ever spent, and a rousing vote of
thanks was extended President Lind

Paul Lindsay was bora and raised In

ual H. Lindsay, a famous teacher In
the state In his day. Paul Lindsay was

years. With the establishment of the
rural mall service he sought and ae-
cured an appointment as a carrier.
With the formation of the national as
sociation of the carriers he was elected
a vice president, and two years ago
was named president. His work for
the carriers, his complete devotion to
their Interests, and his fine Judgment

FARMERS' UNION
MAY DEAL DIRECT
Plans for establishing closer trade
relations between cotton growers and
cotton manufacturers were discussed at
a meeting of the executive board of the
Farmers’ Union held Thursday at the
Majestic Hotel, at which H. W. Macnl-
Ister, one of the most prominent spin
ners of Europe, was present and deliv
ered an address.
The question of direct trade, which
aroused so much Interest during the
recent cotton conference, was thor
oughly discussed. It was stated that
the Farmere’ Union contemplates main
taining an agent In Europe and an
agent In this country, the latter to com.
munlcnte to the former the quantity
and quality of cotton In the poeeesslon
of the union.
Mr. Mncallster expressed the belief
that he could assist the union In dis
posing of their cotton in thle way and
believed the plan a thoroughly practical
one. The proposition will be further
discussed at n meeting or the board of
directors of the Formers', Union, which
will be held In New Orleahs In Decem
ber.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of soma kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking cereals
results In a pasty mass that Is hard to
digest, and If not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down Into the Intestinal
tract where gae Is generated and trou
ble follows.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well, while
poor food, or even food of good quality
that Is poorly prepared and not digest
ed, Is sure to bring en some kind of
disease.
The easiest food to digest In this line
Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at tha
factory, some It to 16 hours being con
sumed In the different processes of
preparation. The food, therefore. Is
ready for Instant service and the starch
has been changed to a form of Sugar,
so that It Is predigested and ready for
almoat Immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from Indigestion
nnd dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers of di
gestion. She says:
"I began using Grape-Nuts, and I
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before I
finally decided to try the food, bin I
have not known what Indigestion Is
since using It. and have never been
stronger or In better health. I have In
creased In weight from 103 to 124

People can be well, practically with
out cost. If they will adopt scientific
food nml leave off the Indigestible sort.
