SALESMEM's TRIALS.
Bad Food is One of Them.

Road travelling is rather hard on
statesmen. Irregular hours, Indifferent
hotels and badly cooked food play smash
with their digestion.
An old Philadelphia traveller tells how
ge got the start of his troubles by using
Grape Nuts. For years 1 was troubled
with Il bad stomach. which gave ne
constant headaches and pains all
through my body, caused by eating i'm
proper food. I spent considerable money
on doctors, who said I had indigestion,
and after taking medicine for a year
and it doing me no good, decided to
go on a diet, but the different cereals 1
ate did not help me. If it hadn't been
for the advice of a friend to try Grape
Nuts, l might be ailing yet.
| commenced to feel better in a short
time after using the food: my indiges-
ton left me; stomach regained its tone
so that could eat anything, and head
aches stopped. I have gained in weight
and have a better complexion than
had for years. AT many hotels the
statesmen will have nothing in the line of
cereals but Grape-Nuts, as they consid-
er it not only delicious, but also bene-
fetal for their health in the life they
lead" Name given by Postum CO.. Bat

DEAD WHALES ASHORE.
A 7o-Footer and Her 16-Foot Calf at
Forked River

Sandy Hook, N. J.. Nov. 27.-Ames

River. n. J., life saving station, went on
patrol. going on the dog watch. In the
semi darkness a big object lying on the
beach just opposite the station half
scared him, but on approaching it he
found it to be the body of a 70-foot COW
whale. A short distance away the body
OF its calf, sixteen feet long. was stretch
ed in the sand. Both had been cast up
by the sea.
Neither showed any external injuries
They had been dead for some time. The
entire life saving crew turned out to in
spect the bodies but as none has studied
up in whale literature, they are unable
to report as to what species these
whales belong.
The whales, it is said. will have to be
buried. At any rate. the life savers do
not know what to do with them.

PRESIDENT PLASS SPEAKS.
In the southwestern district the ser
vices were held at the Westminster
Presbyterian church, President Norman
Plass having the pulpit and delivering
a discourse upon Personal Blessings"
His text was taken from Psalm 103:1-5,
who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth
thy life from destruction; who croWneth
thee with loving kindness and tender
mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with
good things SO that thy youth is re-
newed like the eagles"
Iil1S, SdlQ GTeSlQ6nI H1aSS, is a
ccmmuning of the Psalmist with him
self, reminding his soul of the benefits
God has conferred upon him during his
life, and exhorting all his vital powers
to unite their voices in a paean of
praise.
AT the Thanksgiving season it is our
custom to thank Him for his loving
kindness toward us as a nation as a
people, as a community, but we too
often forget his loving kindness to us as
a community"
After reciting in detail the reasons for
applying the Psalmist's praise 20 present
conditions, President Plass concluded by
saying:
such are the personal BLESSINGS that we
ties. the healing of our diseases the re-
deeming of our lives from destruction. the
browning of our heads with loving kind
ness and tender mercieS, the satisfying of
our souls with good things and the
newing of our growth in repeated flights.
For these things we should call upon our
souls and all within to bless Gods holy
learn to praise God for everything If
some things come to us that our perverted
visitors can not discern blessings if
we have lost possessions or loved ones:
If our hearts are sad and lonely; yet we
know that He hath not dealt Wes us af-
ter sins nor rewarded us according TO
our iniquities.' We should still praise God
praise Him because He has deemed us

The United States officials have Just is
