The second day of the Woman's Chris

auspicious circumstances as TO Gather

church was well filled with delegates and
Others who are interested in the work of
: the union.
From until 20 q. m. devotional exer-

instructive informal talk. relating incl

which seemsd applicable to the meeting.
The remaining time allotted to the devo-
tional meeting was spent in listening to
brief testimonials, prayers. etc.
At $40 Mrs. L. NJ. N. Stevens, the
president, called the con vention to
order.
Upon the motion of Miss Farwell, Miss
Ethel Littleheld was appointed timegesp-

read carefully prepared report.
Mrs. Stevens then introduced Rev.

The Rev. W. II. Hooper of Deering

spoke briefly. He said, faoetiously, that
he was afraid the W. G. 7. U. would
take the place of the men in the great
temperance work. He believed there

would tie selected to preside. 1t had
been arranged that Fred b. Wiggin Of

hour 1t was discovered that MIR. wiggin
was Palmer and Buckner man In the
last campaign. 1t was assumed that this
would be an lnsuperable objection to
him.
1t is thought the Chicago platform Will
be reaffirmed; but this is not certain and
a lively row il anticipated. The last
district Democratic convention did not
take stand for silver.
1t Is by no means sure that Mr.. McKen-
ney will be nominated. Although MIR. In

his shadow seems nevertheless to fall
across the CONVENTION The free silver

THE EVENING SESSION.

enjoyable of the convention. The, big
church Was crowded with wearers OF the
white ribbon and their friends and there
was not a vacant seat il The house when
the meeting was called to order. Mrs.
Hannah ]. Bailey read from the Scrip
lures and offered prayer, and there was
solo by Miss Sarah Munroe Hall, after
which Miss Jessie Ackermann was intro
duced and given cordial reception.
She is one of the most eloquent speakers
engaged in the W. CT. U. work "a world
wide traveller, anu her address was thrill
ingly interesting. She spoks for an hour
and half and during that time held the
closest attention of the large audisnce.
Her word pictures Of the scenes she had
witnessed In other lands were placed
before tho large audience with a..master's
hand, and again and again she was in
terrupted by enthusiastic applause. Her
arguments against the Iegalizing of the
liquor traffic were delivered with telling
force. She drew tears to the eyes of her
hearers more than once In the course of
her long address as she pictured the mis-
cry and wretchedness In our own lands
caused by The great evil which the W. q.
I. U. had been combating SO many years.
In the course of her address she de-
scribed typhoon in the Indian ocean In
such vivid manner that the awe-inspir-
ing scene Of the great storm was very
real. When the ship on which she was
passenger had been disabled and they
had driftei for days upon the surface of
the ocean in calm, they were picked
up by rescue ship. From this Miss
Alderman went on to say that some
years ago the women of the United States
looked oct over the vast sxpanss of the
storm-tossed world where human souls
were daily being swept to their death by
great evil and they arose and started
a rescue mission. And from this one
mission there grew mighty movement
which has extended all over the world
and which today is rescuing hopeless
men and outcast women Of every nation :
ality in every part of the globe. And
when we consider tthe marvellous growth
of this movement we wonder that God
should have placed It in the hands o /,
women TO be his agents in securing jus
tice for His children. The principle of
the W. @. I. u, underlying all other
principles is "Justice."
Mrs Ackermann scored the canteen sys-
ten in operation in the army and said
that the W. @. 4. U. should focus all of
its strength on converting the men Of the
10th century who need conversion to tie
principles Of temperance and justice
as much as the heather do. She said that
it was the great work OF the Christian
church to put down the liquor traffic be-
fore everything else.

a
Grandma
Tale
...ABOUTA.
Grape-NutS

A man said, when he was boy hts
grandma used to brown some slices of
bread and pound them up in an old
mortar and feed them with milk to his
brothers and himself.
He remarked that he believed Grape
Nuts, the famous food, was made in
the same way, but gentleman in the
party remarked that he had investigated
Grape-Nuts carefully aud found that the
grain from which it was made was pre-
pared by various processes of long soak
ing, warmth and time, by which the pc
culiar element under the shell of wheat
and barley is developed. slqL element
is called diastase and its work is
to change the starch of grains into
grape.sugar. This same process is
gone through with in the% human body
when any whole grain preparation is
used. such as rolled wheat or oats. or
entire wheat bread. But the trouble is
that so many people are weak in their
intestinal digestion and bread and the
starch-eontaining cereals are not prop
erly digested, thus producing gas and
bowel complaints. often ending in ap-
pendicitis or kindred difficulties.
Grape-Nuts food being pre-digested
mechanically before going into the hui
man body is ready for quit k and easy as
sanitation and people Of weak digestion
can thus obtain the full value from a
heaithfnl and most nourishing natural
food. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is a del
,cate sweet, that of true grape-sugar to
DC seen glistening on the little particles.
This sugar is not added to them. bat is
produced in the change from starch to
grape-sugar and evolved in the pro-
eesses; The famous food is sold by all
1irst-elass grocers and made by the
