Special to The Georgian. Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 20.—At the last day's session of the Grand Lodge "f l. O. O. F., a resolution was passed appropriating $18,000 for the erection of a grand lodge building for the of lice of the grand. secretary in Nash' vlile. The next meeting will be held hi Clarksville, October 17 and 18, 1907. Hubert L. Morris, of Memphis, and K. n. Mann, of Knoxville, were elected grand representatives. REST While You Work. That sounds paradoxical, but the reasoning is correct. Rest signifies "comfort" and there's comfort in working with a clear brain, steady nerves, possessed of the con scious power to "do things" and still have a lot of thought and energy stored up for more work. To be in fashion nowadays, one must he able to do something well that re- uulres strenuous activity and correctly thought 0 ut plans. The "gentlemen of leisure" belong to « former era—not in demand In this country at the present time. The mod em gentleman Is a "doer”—not a mere "looker-on." individuals differ In their ability to Man and execute, but human energy Is largely derived from food. .And that food is best which supplies ail the re- 'lUlrements with the ieast expenditure of bodily (digestive) effort to convert *t into action. Grape-Nuts, the product of a food expert's experiments and 1 practical ap plication during many years, contains the nitrogenous elements of Held grains (wheat and barley) that repair tissue- waste. This waste is greater or less In accordance with the activity of the in dividual. ''contains also the carbohydrates, or starch element (changed In making maps.Nuts, into soluble sugar for “Vfoi'ption into the blood stream) ergy th * v,t ** forces convert Into en- contains, also, the highly Impor- Phosphate of potash which the .ik m elaborates, by combining with aiDumen, into the delicate gray matter thrall! and nerve centers. Where forms the basis of food, digestive organs do their • work in. y and naturally, converting food into stored up energy and keeping the IS“e» n perfect repair—then they w hile this energy .Is at the com mand of the Individual to work with "> comfort—the rest of wholesome iiliixlty. Then does the work coopt. v.?** 1 ini'* book in pkgs. of Grape- «»ad to Walhllle." “here's a reason.” FLEES ON DORSE Special to The Georgian.

He ttv in an effort to escape, formed and pursued. legs had shackles on it. DAILY PRESS IS FAIR union and the work that had already been accomplished, mentioning inci dentally the nucleus about which the union was organized in this state. He said it was growing as fast as the peo ple realized the Importance of its prin ciples and could get in as members. He urged that each member do mission work until bvery farmer-in this state was a member of the organization and pledge him to watch his neighbor's In terests as well as his own. "More Education." What we want most right now and what we are working for,” he contln ued, "is better homes and more eduen tlon. While it ls_tcue that we li) the South have always tried to • take the very best of carVoJ bpf wives' an' **■*• dren. we brant tortiak* things st ter for them.

"But there are still women who work in the fields or help in doing the chores and.this is not right. Nor should they be allowed to make slaves of them selves in the kitchens. No machinist, carpenter or tradesman would think of having his wife help him in his \*>rk and we want to make this equally .true of the former’s wife, and It Is to this end that we are working and, rapidly attaining our aim. We are looking to you to get the Tight price for cotton and It is only by your co-operation that this is possible. Happily, there are al ready over 50,000 farmers who have Joined the Georgia branch and are ac complishing much in tills direction, but we want them all. Once this Is nccom- f dished, and now that we are all stand- ng solid for 11-cent cotton or better, all these good things are at band. Every condition points to this price for cotton which has already been accom plished and with this constantly grow ing demand it only means that through the organization of the Farmers' Union we are able to get the proflte for our work rather than the speculator who hove no hand in the toll." O. M. Davit Talks. An eloquent address was made by G. M. Davis, of Floyd county. His re marks were directed at better educa tion, and appealed to every farmer to send his children to school as long as It was possible for them to attend. He mentioned the possibilities of higher education, telling hie hearers that the opportunities were greater now than they had eVer been. He said that He was In favor; of applying scientific' much from a practical knowledge, alone. President ( Dpekworth • R.. F. Duckworth,. president;of/the Georgia division, was the last speaker. His address was a plea to the members of the union to remain steadfast lir his fight, against loW-prlced cotton and showed that this victory which had been gained was bound to continue the farmers would only co-operate and remain firm.On this question and stand pat as they In Travel the •• Runaway Road ” with "the girl on the white pony" and find out where it run* away to. She’s a girl you'll like, and adventure and a spice of mystery lurk down that road; and when you turn the last corner and follow the dusty trail up the creaking stair—well, you’ll just have to go along yourself to get the good of it. The real Leopold has been caught and raged in the November number, Leopold II King of Belgium, famous and infamous as far as the sound of his name goes. You can step up and walk around him and size him up from every side — and he has sides worth studying. If you want to get clear out of your self and into another world, try Justus Miles Forman's “Ora- vosa Rood” and see where the "gypsy look in his eyes ” landed the rell I f- bred English boy. It may not land you quite where you expect, but that's Mr. Forman's fault. Read about Marie Schirylart in "A Mother of Americana’* who sits in her little Chicago cottage, looking backward on her three score years of the finest type of womanly success. You’ll see that all the “Mrs. Wigga” didn’t lire in the Cabbage Patch. Fair play never hurts. Get the 'other side of the "Bucket Shops” from Christie's answer to Merrill A. Thague. If you're too rugged for sentiment don't touch the “Autobiography of an Only Child." There may be a ‘‘cry” in this if you don't steer clear. There’s certainly a laugh in Max imilian Foster’s “Von’l” in spite of Miss Ogde"’s pathetic exasperation over his climb to fame. And you'll find Herman Whitak er's story, “The Devil's Slide," has got plenty of desperate “go.” This story is ballasted. It's got lead in it, outside the amount they shoot from their guns. Go back with Jack London and grope in the dark “Before Adam." wade with him through that dim primeval epoch before time had been • invented. Get, from his own pen, that rare glimpse of his real personality that Lawson gives us in his heart-to-heart raik with bis readers. The greatest sensation that this giant among fight ers has ever hurled at his enemies will follow closely in the December num ber. You can't afford to miss his preface in November. And then, after you've done dream ing and laughing and crying with all these, come away with Russell to to flat far country.
