The three hundred thousand children of
the Loyal Temperance Legion of the

sented yesterday morning on the birthday
anniversary of their leader, Miss Anna

Worlds Loyal Temperance Legion. This

al Temperance Legion of Stroudwater.
Notwithstanding the threatening light
ming and the dark clouds the children as
sembled at eight o'clock In tho morning
and marched to the home of Mrs l.. M.
N. Stevens where they found Miss Cor
don. She was surprised but glad TO see
them. They sang as only temperance boys
ard girls can sing 'Saloons, saloons,
saloons must co." and they sang also
'sWe"l never. never touch the wine, Z"
and one of their number prettily said:
Dear friend Of all the children,
We come to thee with flowers,
And smiles, and loving greetings
For anniversary hours.
The birds sing for thy birthday,
The lily bells make Chime,
The roses give thee perfume,
Dear child of summertime.
And we, the little children,
Come singing glad and free
10 bring our love and flowers
Our birthday gifts to thee.
A beautiful copy of "Hoins Life in
Colonial Days. was presented containing
the children's autographs. Flowers in
greatest variety from the home gardens
were heaped about her in profusion.
Miss Gordon responded in a happy
manner ard the pleasant service closed
by all taking a sip of pure cold water
from q silver birthday cup given Miss
Gordon when she was year oil d aud
which she told the children had now be-
come Glowing cup as well. Before say

TO KEEP OUT OF NERVOUS PROS.
TRATION BY IMPROPER.USE
OF FOOD.

Or fOOO.
1t is lamentable fact that American
brain workers do not, as a rule. know
how to feed themselves to rebuild the daily
loss occasioned by active mental effort
This fact, coupled with the disastrous
effects OF the askaloids contained in to-
tscco. coffee and whisksy. makes a sure
pathway towards nervous prostration.
The remedy Is simple enough. Employ
she services of food expert, who know S
the kind Of food required to rebuild the
daily losses in the human body. This
can be done by. making free use of Grape
Nuts. the famous breakfast food, which
contains exaotly the elemental principles
which have an affinity for albumen and
go directly to rebuild the gray matter in
the brain. solar plexus and nerve centers
throughout the body. Follow your Sc
lection Of food UP with a dismissal of
cotfes. tobacco and whiskey tor fifteen
days aud marx tina difference In your
mental ability, which means every thing
to the average hustling American, who
must have physical and mental strength
or he falls out In the race for dollars and
cents.
