USE PRESERVES THE TEETH.
The finest specimens of teeth arc seen
in animals and human beings who chew
the food thoroughly.
Dentists Bgre that teeth must be used
to properly preserve them and therefore
they urge people to chew their food thor
oughly, but the nervous, hurried manner
of eating is altogether too common
among Americans and when fed ON soft
mushes they are liable to swallow the
food without chewing. -
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the result
II this practice is continued. True one
can eat soft food without detriment. If the
necessity Of chewing is remembered.
Grape-Nuts are so crisp and brittle and
withal SO pleasant to the taste that the
.ussr can mt forget to chew and thus the
teeth get the necessary use and the glands
Of the gums are made4to give the juices
that Nature intends shall he mixed with
thefood hefore ii enters the stomach.
These are not the only reasons why
those who est Graps,Nuts look nourishad

old town hall to listen to the gradua ting
exercises. Yesterday afternoon. to the
long roll Of honored graduates thirty
names were added in the presence of an
audience which completely filed the
house. and In honor Of the occasion the
hall looked its prettiest. Gracefully
dropping from the ceiling Of the room
were blue and white pieces OF bunting,
with pretty bouquets suspended from
different points. On the side
walls hung the pictures of several
OF the old Glasses, while the stage from
which the exercises took place was
changed into a bower of beauty. A large
evergreen arch was in the foreground
with 100" at Its topmost spot and undsr-
meath all, massive bank OF ferns,
greens, lilies, peonies and the choicest
flowers.
In the background over huge carpet
OF evergreen, In bold letters stood out the
class motto "In Omnia Parstuss." Such
was the appearance of the stage before
the arrival of the class, and just imagine
how the beauty OF the surroundings was

An Excellent Combination.


The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid 1axa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them In TIE form most refreshing to the
taste and :. cceptable to the system. II
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually, !.
dispelIing colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitnal constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

A letter to the sick aud afflicted of the
New England meeting, and another to
the children, were presented and APP
proved.
The visiting friends were furnished
with returning minutes expressing the
satisfaction of the meeting at their
presence. They with many of the menu
bers of the nesting testified to the good
which they had experienced from the
meeting.
Alfred Neave Branshaw. one of the
visitors from England said that he had
found the New England not far different
from the old. From his earliest years
this land had been known to him by tho
poems of Whittier and as he rode into
New England from the West the names
of the places that he passed seemed
familiar.
He spoke of the old Faith of the
Friends, which must be upheld in these
days of growing saoerdotalism, where
there was greater effort than ever to es-
tablish the priest between man and his
God. The Friends believed In the spiritu-
ality of worship, and must oppose the
sacerdotalism of the Anglicans as well as
of the Catholics.
The speaker spoke of the young people
In the society of their tendency to drift
away, and of the necessity Of understand
Ing them and keeping them In the faith.
Rufus NJ. Jones spoke of the long his.
tory of the New England Yearly meeting
dating from 1861, and emphasized the in
junction that the glory of the future OF
the societyfdepended upon the faithful
ness of the individual members.
Uncle Nathan Douglass of Durham,
said that the future of the society need
never be despaired Of, since it was in the
hands of God, who did all things we'll.
The clerk appropriately closed the ex :
srcises with the following minute:
SIN bringing to close the sessions of
the yearly meeting this year we grateful.
ly acknowledged the presence of our Lord
and Master In our deliberations. The
spirit of love has been apparent in all our
sessions and has been the prevailing
theme In the exercises of the meeting
both in Its business sessions and in the
meetings for devotion. In the sincere
hope that the same love may be in us and
abound until in the providence of God we
are permitted'to meet again in Newport,
Rhode Island at the established time in
1900. We now adjourn
