CUT IT OUT.
Quit White Bread and Coffee and Get
Well.
A tale that sounds like magic, yet is
but a simple evidenco of what proper
ft-od can do in the place of Improper
food:
A lady of Quincy, III., says: "It seems
impossible that J could have gone through
what I did andVie alive and well to-day.
I was most of my life troubled with a
weak stomach and severe headaches, and
as I grew older I slowly got worse. One
physician treated.mc live years for dys?
pepsia without any help, and I went to
another physician, who said I had a tu?
mor, and I believed him. I was unable
to bear even the loosest clothing, and
could scarcely lift my head, finally be?
coming entirely bed-ridden.
"Then I changed to another doctor, who
ssld I had chronic catarrh of the stomach,
and advised a change of climate, telling
me I would get well If I would winter in
California. Ho might ns well have, ad?
vised a trip to trie" moon In my case.
Then I tried a change of diet. It seemed
I could not live on crackers and tea, nor
could I find anything else to agree with
me, and It began to look ns though I was
doomed to die. So T made up my mind
tc eat eevrythlng that I craved, and
determined to die happy at least in tho
thought of not starving to death.
"Now that I look back at It, I don't see
hew. It Is possible for a human being to
lh'6 through suoh misery a3 I did. . Of
course, rny stomach trouble grow worse,
and my head grew worse. I had all my
hair cut off, but It did not help me, and
when one of my headaches was on I
was really and truly crazy, and did not
even recognize my husband. The doctor
would give me morphine tablets to stop
my crying, ...
"Then a friend who knew what she wus
talking about advised me to give up white
bread and tea and coitee and try the pre
digested food CJrape-Nuts and Postum
Coffee In place. 1 did so, and I have had
grand results. The Improvement began
immediately. I hod fallen from 1215
pounds to ninety-three pounds in my sick?
ness, and with my lialr cut off and gray
loo, I.was a fright..
"In a few- days after I started Grape
Nuts I could e?t a little beef and crack?
ers without the least discomfort; my face
began to nil out, and th-s awful illsU'Otfil
tn my stomach h..oii ceased. Then my
head'ichca begun to grow less (ii-iuoi.'t,
and fho sick, dlzuy spells h-tvo gone from
ine altogether, and I hf,V3 ruuciud und
passed my former w.'lgh*, and am now
remparativcly .veil -and Wiftlf. I am cer?
tainly happy, and I nsv.;r liu.'h eoifeu
now, for I am certain that coffee and tho
white bread und biscuits caused all my
trouble. As soon us my body got the
proper food it did not take It long to put
me right, both in body und mind. All the
credit Is due to Grape-Nuts and Postum
In place of white bread and coffee.'

ORGANIZE
NEW CLUB
Democrats of Richmond to
Have Central Organization.
TO START HEARST BOOM
Effort Will Be Made to Capture Vir?
ginia Delegation for the New Yorker.
Other Gossip from National
Capital.
The Tlmcs-Blspiitch Bureau,
No. 1417 U Street, N. \V\,
Washington, D. C, Oct 27, 1IW3.
A Virgin.a Democrat who lias Just re?
turned from Richmond said to-day he was
greatly Interested In a movement now on
loot there to organize a central Demo?
cratic club, which- It Is proposed sha.l
embrace all tho wards of the city. He
said tho scheme of organization was al?
ready worked out by leaders of the party
In Richmond. They assured him that the
formation of such a club was no longer
a matter of doubt.
it Is proposed to make the organiza?
tion tho controlling power In cl.y poll
ties. It may or may not absorb the Clay
Ward Actives or the Old Dominion Club.
These nre now Intended primarily for
ward work. Tho now club Is Intended for
work embracing tho entire city.
"I was informed," said the gentleman
to whom I have referred, "that ti.e Dem?
ocrats anticipate an Independent move?
ment of considerable strength In Rich?
mond within tho next year or two. One
Of the chief objects of tho new club Is to
combat this by holding the Democrats
In line."
HEARST MOVEMENT.
It Is reported here that frtenda of Wil?
liam R. Hearst will very soon inaugu?
rate a movement in Richmond whoso ob?
ject will be the capture of tho Virginia
delegation for the New Yorker In the
National convention. Details of tho
movement are not now obtainable. It
Is believed here that at present Senator
Gorman Is the favorite of the Virginia
Democrats. It is admitted, however,
that Heorst'B strength Is Increasing in
all sections of tho country. Tho enthu?
siastic reception given him In Atlanta la-it
week startled tho politicians. Just now
everybody Is in that frame of mind wh.ch
would cause the mto receive the news of
Hearst's nomination with equanimity. He
is a young man, who has caused many
surprises to his friends,
Friends of Hon. Joseph T. Lawless, of
Norfolk, aro not disposed to credit tho re?
pot t that he will be a candidate fot- the
Democratic nomination to Congress again
next year against Representative Harry
L. Maynard. Mr. lawless, associated
with lion. John Jeffries In tho practice
of the law In Norfolk, has said he would
not re-enter politics, at least for some
years. His firm has an extensive .prac?
tice, and It is shrewuiy suspected that
neither Mr. Lawless nor Mr. Jeffries will
undertake any more political battles un?
til they nre worth considerably more in
a financial way.
A eentlcman from A'uprusta county, who
frequently visits Harrisonburg, and is
famnlar with political cond.Uons there,
said to-day he believed Hon. George B.
Keezeli would be re-elected to the State
Senate from Rockingham, but that he
should not bo surprised at any news re?
ceived from the count on election night.
Ho seemed to think the contest a very
close one. He said the organization of
both Republicans and Democrats was
porfect. Mr. Earman, one of the dele?
gates who represented Rockingham in
tho Constitutional Convention, is a foe
man fully worthy of Mr. Keezell's steel,
which is saying much for him. Tho
Rockingham conteBt, on the whole, is
perhaps the most Interesting In Virginia
this fall.
GOVERNORSHIP.
A Washington man, who Is a close
student of Virginia politics, said last
night he would be willing to place odds
upon Captain Joseph E. Wlllard In the
race for the gubernatorial nomination In
11*05. "Aside from qualities which attract
trlonds," said the gentleman, "Wlllard
Is one of the most energetic men I have
ever known. He works while the rest
of us sleep, and he works all day, too.'
A member of the State Senate said to
The Times-Dispatch correspondent recent?
ly that that body had never had a
better presiding qjflcer probably than
Lieutenant-Governor Wlllard. He made
many friends through his impartial man?
ner of wielding the gavel.
"I knew Theodore C. Cone well," said
Malor Withers, of Georgia, at the Metro?
politan to-day, discussing Mrs. Cone's
marriage to Senator Stewart, of Ne?
vada. In Atlanta yesterday. "He was
a fine man and a brave Confederate
soldier. -While ho was In the Confederate
army ha and a brother-in-law of mine
had a falling out over some matter. They
agreed that as they were both busy fight?
ing Yankees then, It was no time for a
duel, but that thoy would fight after
peace was declared. And sure enough,
about two months after the war ended
ihev had their duel. Each fell at the
first fire. Thoy wanted to f.re again, but
their seconds would not permit it."
Mr. Epnn Hunton. Jr., of Richmond,
was at the Metropolitan to-day.
Mrs. 1. A. Tamuerro and Miss C. C.
Taliaferro, of Orange, Va., are at tho

MISSiSSIFPI TICKET
If the State Democratic primary plan
jirevails for the nomination of a United
States Senator and State officers In 1JA
>ts now seems cerU.ln, the ticket to be
voted will be a long one, and will re?
mold one of that recently voted in Mis?

ran tar Into the hundreds. The plan
worked well in Mississippi, and there
were no bickerings in the end. In addi?
tion to the candidates for Senator, Gover?
nor, Lieutenant-Governor and Attorney
General, the offices of Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Secretary of the Com?
monwealth, Commissioner of Agriculture
and State Treasurer will be elected by

mary.
For most of these offices there will
likely be many candidates. So far. Com?
missioner Koiner, Treasurerl^arman and
Secretary Eggleston have no opposition,
and they may have none, but hot fights
are promised for all the other places on
thi ticket.
