 STRENGTH TESTS, A Record After Using Different

J. Henry Myers of Otsego Mich, a Hraveling representative of certain medical missionary association, made some strength tests with different foods, with the following result. He says: "In 1897 I became officially con- nected with an institution manufac- turing large line of health foods.
 My desire was to add strength. I was in good health, and faithfully lived, almost entirely, for nearly stwo years, on their foods, and believed in them thoroughly. In January. '9S my strength test showed 5,7OO pounds; in January, '99, by the same machine. my strength test was only 4,560 pounds; a heavy falling off, notwithstanding had not been sick, but had faithfully and religiously used the foods I so fully believed in and had been hired to lecture for and advocate
 "For a month after that test was uncertain what to do. felt weak, and what I Wanted was strength; so in February of that year I quit all other health foods and began using Grape Nuts alone. My weight now has in- creased from 130 to 143 pounds; my strength has increased from 456o pounds to 5,940 and I am now 1.6O9 pounds stronger, by actual test, than the average man. My eyesight is clearer, my mind more active and stronger, and I can endure more la bor, physical and mental, than ever before.
 1T do not know any person interested in the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, and this letter is not written with any mo- tive, except to bring honest facts to the attention of persons desiring to live well and live rationally. I have the charts filled out by the physicians at the institution making the health foods that failed in my case, and these facts cannot be disputed by anyone. I will make oath that they are absolutely cor rect"
 MT. Myers letter gives the name in full of the concern making the so- called health foods, which failed in his case, but this name is not given to the public. It Is not the purpose of the manufacturers of Grape-Nuts to build their business by depreciating the eff forts of any competitor. This experi- ence Is printed as an illustration of the indlsputable fact that Grape Nuts food | is a true, honest, and remarkable re- builder of the human body.

II. H. $ WON

Walilngford, Feb. 16.-The Wal lingford high school young ladies' bas~ ket ball team was easily defeated by the Hillhouse team, of New Haven, in a one-sided game here this afternoon. The excellent team work of the New Haven players proved too much for the local team. The latter team, however, played hard from the beginning to the end of the game.
 After the game the visitors were en- tertained by Miss Esther Hassett, of the Wallingford team.

IN THE HOUSE.

l IN THE HOUSE.
 1 Washington, Feb. 17.-The last week ! but one of the present session of con- l gress will be an exceptionally busy one
 in the house. Much business remains | to be, disposed of and the inevitable
 crowding which characterizes the clos ing hours of a congress has begun al- | ready. The appropriation bills, so far | as the House is concerned, are in fairly
 good shape The last of them, the gen. eral deficiency bill, will follow on the
 heels of the sundry civil bill, which is
 about half completed. These bills and conference reports will be given the right of way over everything else. All
 other matters, some of them of great
 importance relatively, but not of imper-
 ative necessity, to be passed will have
 to take their chances in the final rush. Speaker Henderson is almost constantly
 besieged by members importuning him ill the interest of various measures He is keeping everything clear for the great bills and letting the driftwood of legls- lation into the current only when it will not impede progress of things which
 must pass congress before the fourth of March.
 There are many knotty problems to be solved in connection with the appro- prlation bills over differences between the two houses and many good sized rows are promised. The ultimate fate of the river and harbor bill will proba- bly, depend on how heavily it is loaded when 1t comes back from the Senate.
 The biggest fight between the two houses from present appearance is like- ly to occur over the war revenue reduc- ton act The Senate conferees seem de- termined at present to force the Senate substitute or allow the bill to fail. But the House conferees are standing firm and as many members of the House have their backs up the impression pre- vais that the House will support their conferees, and if 1t does the Senate in the end may be compelled to yield
 Tomorrow is suspension day and the bill appropriating $5,000000 for the St. Louis exposition will be put on its pas- sage. A motion to suspend the rules will cut off opportunity for amendment and no doubt is entertained that this bill will command the two-thirds neces- sary to secure it's passage upon mo- tion to suspend the rules. The pro- gramme with reference to this and oth- CT measures, however, may be material ly modified if it becomes certain before March 4 that an extra session is to be called.

Professor Hernndotte Perrin Says St.
 Petcr's Church Is stiIi Living and
 Speaking Oracle of G0d-He Believes
 That Religion To-day Centers In the
 Idea of Evolution.
 A remarkable address was delivered last evening by Professor Bernadotte Perrin, of Yale college, before the Mems club in United church. Professor Per rims subject was "The Images and Ora cles of God" in which he rapidly re- viewed the visible manifestations of God from the time the Grecian genius and spirit worked itself into the crea- tion of Phidias of his sculptured Olym- plan Zeus; through the tremendous movement of the renaissance, whose continuation is visible in the cathedral of St. Peters at Rome and the works of Michael Angelo; to the English translated Bible of the Reformation and the institutions of the present day.
 In the progress of his address Profes- sor Perrin took occasion to designate the Holy Roman empire as that mar velous ark of saving and spiritual pow CT through the dark ages" St. Peter s church at Rome, he said, was the tenn pie and oracle of the living God in the Middle Ages, just as the temple of Zeus was in Hellenic times. He said: This oracle is not yet silent; the oracle at Rome speaks with no uncertain voice, a nd yIycs rnI11I ,,0t ;+ -;Ia ID, its words, though full of wisdom, have no longer that absolute authority over our souls that 1t had possessed
 The Bible as the oracle of God took the place of the oracle of Delphi and of St. Peters. But even the Bible is no longer the literally and mechanically in- Epired book that it was in the days of Cromwell and of Calvin: nor are it's doctrines regarded as all inspired. The old Jewish tribal notion of God as Jeho- yah, God of war and battle, who was the God of Cromwell and his round- heads and is the God of Kruger and the Boers to-day, is no longer the God of Christianity. All the relentless Calvin istic creeds of the divine plan and fore ordering of the world have also gone.
 ''In place of these creeds have come in < the last century an apprehension of a great truth, the truth of slow and gradual evolution through all the works of man up toward God. To-day the image and the oracle of God is Jesus Christ, in whom Gods character is re- vealed. ( But the purposes and will of God are revealed in history"
 Professor Perrin concluded by saying that the study of evolution as revealed in history will be the prime means of education in this century
