Watson, of the depart at of agriculture of South Caro .:i delivered an address on "The r.'cnomic Value cf Pure Food." He expected to speak yesterday af noon. but owing "to an accident to automobile he was traveling in Vorkville to Charlotte, he was : - cole to get here until the hour ,:;.td above. Dr. William Allen, food chemist of North Carolina, was to have delivered an ad--- on "'Food Adulteration" was not to get here on account of the ; rhi.t he had been subpoenaed as . in Forsyth county court. Women's Club Day. v.-ierdav afternoon was set apart . WYir.ea's Club Day and practically t::e ladies of the Charlotte Wo r. i Club werep resent to see the a exhibition of food and household l-.i'i.'ies shown. A i o:C0 o'clock the visiting, .ladies ; ;rtcd an invitation to visit Vcv:'s Steam Bakery on Church :-Tf-vt near the Piedmont & Northern I .Urlicg to see demonstrated modern u-'.ods of baking and cooking. Mr?. W. G. Rogers, president of the 'citien's Club, delivered a short ad-c:--.- in which she praised the enter al i;? shown by the Kuester-Lowe nrany in putting on the pure food ?r-;.v ar.d commending the idea ot c-ronstrating to the public the ne cc?s::v of pure foods, together with rrr.inendation for the plan of having x:erts here to make addresses on the- subject of pure foods, etc. Interesting Exhibits. A';! the displays are most interest in::. Saraplfs of almost every article i.sel in the kitchen and pantry are a exhibition in neatly arranged and extractive booths, with a courteous f.iadar.t in charge to explain the t. r:ts of the wares displayed and to c-:nV:ute samples of them to visi tor f. One of the most interesting displays i trat of the Jello Ice Cream Powder "-cth, in charge of Mrs. Adelaide luuraan, where the famous Jello sher-i-:rts, ices, creams and puddings are r.ade before the visitor and samples c:' the delicious product given out. Another interesting book is the T. A Cruder Preserve Company, in charge t Mr. Thomas S. Stalling, which has L7.0 traveling salesmen all over the VLited States and some in foreign countries and is one of the largest fc-.an'tfacturers of ketchup and other t oridiraents in America. The Williams' 2'aked Beans booth, in charge of Mr. I'crdeac, is another attractive one. The Karo syrups booth, in charge f Mr. and Mrs. Dobson, is also a . ery attractive one, while the Kako V-ccth, devoted to advertising the qual ities of that well known constituent c: cake is a drawing card for many i isitors at the show. Domino Rice. The Domino Rice booth, in charge rf Mis3 E. E. Blankenship, of New Orleans, is a center of much interest to visitors, who are not generally aware that rice is rapidly coming in to favor as the principal dish on many American tables and is admit tedly the most nutritious food in the world as to quality, besides already being the real staff of life to 700, 000,000 of the world's population. Domino rice is a "river rice" pro duct, and therefore, it is said, the most nutritive of all foods. Miss Blankenship, a young lady that travels as a "drummer" for the Domino Rice people of New Orleans, is an interesting personality. She cov ers a territory that extends from New Orleans to Canada and knows rice from planting to preparing for table, her discourses relating to the culture, quality, consumption of rice. Rice culture has always been one of the leading industries of Louisiana and is destined to become even more her leading industry, since a tariff has made sugar production less profi table than formerly. The address last evening of Mr. Watson was a very able and instruc tive one. He commended the com pany that is giving the show for the enterprise it has shown in a worthy effort to lay before its customers and the public at large the neces sity of pure food. He had to travel more than one hundred miles by au tomobile in order to reach Charlotte last night in time to deliver the ad dress, but said he would gladly have traveled farther and would even have swam the Catawba river in order to pat on the back the men who are pro gressive enough to put on an exhibi tion of the size he found it to be. He said in the course of his ad dress that every town in the South ought to have such a show and that the town or city government should undertake it if it were impractical for private parties to do it. He pointed out that good food is the primal need of man as of every other animal that is to be a good healthy animal and. traced the slow progress that has been made in this country to in sure purity of food stuffs offered for public consumption, declaring that j the mortality rate decreases as the standard of purity in foods is in creased. He advised his hearers not to wait until they got sick and call a. doctor to patch them up on ac count of ravages of disease caused by impure food but to prevent sick ness and insure a maximum of bod ily efficiency by selecting and using only pure foods. Mr. Watson congratulated the coun try on the recent order by the gov ernment in doing away with the label on foodstuffs declaring that the con tents of the package were guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act. He characterized it as one of the greatest fakes ever perpetrated upon the people and declared its abolish ment was a good thing, since it would now cause goods to pass on their merits, or pass not at all. The program for today and tomor row at the pure food show follows: Friday, May 22 College Day. Come and learn about pure foods. 4 p. m. Dr. C. B. King, Elizabeth College. 4:30 p. m. Dr. John L.

DID THE WORK Grew Strong on Right Food. You can't grow strong by merely ex ercising. You must have food the ind you can digest and assimilate. Unless the food you eat is digested :. adds to the burden the digestive organs have naturally to carry. This or'ten means a nervous breakdown. "About a year ago," writes a Mass. lady, "I had quite a serious nervous Lreakdown caused, as I believed, by overwork and worry. I also suffered intOid misery from dyspepsia. ' First I gave up my position, then I tried to find a remedy, for my trou bles, something that would make me veil and strong, something to rest ;i:y tired stomach and build up my voru-out nerves and brain. "I tried cne kind of medicine after Fnother. but nothing seemed to help "finally a friend suggested change t-f tood, and recommended Grape-Nuts. With little or no faith in it, I tried a ; ackage. That was eight months ago and I have never been without it since. "Grape-Nuts did the work. It help ed me grow strong and well. Grape Nuts put new life into me, built up n y whole system and made another l''oman of me!" Name given by Postum Co., Battle f'reek. Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs. 'There's a Rea son."

H. Hix, resigned. Mr. Young was accompanied on the special by Retiring President Hix, Mr. Harsden J. Perry of New York, chair man of the board of directors; Mr. E. D. Kyle, of Norfolk, traffic manager; Mr. J. T. Avery of New York, assis tant secretary, and Mr. C. W. Ackers of Raleigh, division superintendent. In company with Mr. Lawrence Johnson, commercial agent of the road here, the visitors took a trip over the city late yesterday afternoon and called upon a number of local business men. The special train with the visiting officials left this morning at 4 o'clock for Norfolk. Mr. Young is a westerner and got into the railroad business by way of the Southern Pacific, starting it at at the foot of the ladder and working his way up rapidly. He left th3 South ern Pacific to take a high oficial posi tion with other railway lines. When called to the head of the Norfolk Southern he was president of three western lines, the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the Oregon Trunk and the Oregon Electric. He was general manager of the Southern Pacific sys tem when he left it. His home has been in Portland, Oregon, but he will remove his family to Norfolk soon and will reside there.

Mr. Perry, chairman of the board of direc tors of the Norfolk Southern was in Charlotte at the opening of the road into the city. He says the bcrt evidence that he believes in the south and this territory is that he has put his money in the Norfolk Southern. He thinks the south has a particularly bright fu ture before it, and is destined to make more progress along commercial and industrial lines and commercial de velopment in the future.

Hinson, an aged white veteran of the "old war" was in the defendant's seat of the recorder's court this morn ing, charged with carrying a concealed weapon on his person yesterday. He was let off with suspended judgment. The weapon in question was a Colt 38 special, and about the size of a small sized demountable cannon. Where he was able to hide the afore mentioned gun was a problem. He did not look as if he were able to bear the extra load, but the evidence showed he had managed to stagger, under it, and also without the aid of wheels on the gun. The "gat" was the largest that has been in police . circles for some time. .Hinson created considera ble amusement by his effort to show the court that he was "telling the whole truth your honor, - I've never lied for any" one, and I won't, for my self, I never saw that gun before, and don't know how come I had it." Joe Crcighton, white, .was found not guilty of an assault with a deadly weapon on Will Hicks, colored. The shooting occurred last week in Law ing's restaurant, on North Tryon street. Hicks was fired by Creighton and did not like it. The negro ap proached the white man with a large knife. Creighton in self defense shot the man, the ball entering the jaw and lodging in the neck. There were several other cases of disorderly conduct and just plain drunks. The number of the latter being few compared with the enormous crowds that have thronged the city for the past few days. Will Sims in County Jail Having Surrendered To The Deputy Sheriff Will Sims, colored, whe shot and killed his father-in-law, Bob White Tuesday night, is safe behind the bars in the county jail, having gone there and surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff Fesperman on Wednesday night shortly after his father-in-law had died at the Good Samaritan Hospital al though, it is said he had not heard o fthe latter's death at the moment he surrendered. White remonstrated with Sims for chastising his wife, who was a daughter of White's. Officials and employes of the Southern railway here speak in high terms of the fidelity and trustworthiness of WThite, who had been a janitor at the Southern passen ger station for a long while.
