snowy land. still so full of Eastern lore,
customs, and traditions. OF course
it is nowadays a pastime, and an
amusement, INDUCED in chiefly during
the Christmas holidays, and more for

lief in the truth of the prophecy.
There are a good many ways OF
looking into the book of fate, and ]
will here give a short description OF
the two that are most in favor among
young folks. New Years Eve and
Twelfth Night are considered the best
occasions of the year for these amusing
experiments.
whenever number of young peo-
pie come together during this time OF
the year whether it be for dancing
playing games, or Just spending a
pleasant evening together, some one OF
the party is sure to propose fate-read-

MANY DON'T KNOW.
Lack of Right Food is the Cause o
sickness.

1t is hardly fair to blame the doctor
for not curing his patient when the pa
tient attempts to live on food that fur
nishes the wrong kind of nourishment.
When sickness comes on 1t is a pretty
good sign that the food is not keeping
the body up. There are thousands of
cases where a change in food alone has
brought the sick one out into a prime
condition of health.
AS an illustration. A lady in River
side, Cal, says, After ten years Cd
service as a teacher, during which time
l suffered three or four attacks of La
Grippe, 1 finally found myself a physi-
cal wreck. Medical treatment would
help my strength and vitality temper

little while but in a few months be-
came so weak and debiHitated that we
were in despair.
Finally through the influence of a
friend | changed my diet and begun
using Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee.

found gratitude, hoping that many
others may be induced to go and do

the natural consequence of properly
selected food. Please do not use my

A REBUKE TO KING EDWARD.
DIR. Joseph Parker Criticises Him
for Brewing Beer and Attending
Sunday Concerts.


London, March There was a
striking scene in the City Temple yes
terday, when. during the course of his
sermon. the Rev. Joseph Parker, d.
D., the minister, administered pointed
rebuke to King Edward, which was
loudly applauded by the congregat ton.
Having alluded to public houses as
"trapdoors of hell" DR.. Parker referred
to the Kings recent brewing of beer
while visiting Lord Burton. Pray for
me-" said the divine, that 1 may
speak delicately, Loyalty. If the
King brews beer, what can be wrong
in the subject drinking it? What the
King does is likely to be initiated by
others. If the King goes to a Sunday
concert, as he did recently, he deals a
deadly blow to the Englishman's Sum
day. The King cannot attend nom
cCnformist place of worship, but he
can go to a Sunday concert"
