A Pleasant Day in the Country.

The editor of the REGISTER with a
part of his family and some other
friends spent pleasant day in the
country on Tuesday at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Mayberry
Mckee, near Kearneysville. 1t was
a perfect day for lOafng, and the
beautiful view over hill and dale,
woodland and cultivated field, with
the mountains in the distance robed
in azure hue, presented scene OF
rare loveliness. A good dinner, such
as Mrs. Mckee knows how to pre-
pare, and fruits from vineyard and
orchard, sustained the inner man, and
in such pleasant company was thor
oughly enjoyed. If every day on the
farm was like Tuesday-well, who
wouldn't be farmer, then2

The President al Antietam.

The President al Antietam.
Last Thursday a great crowd OF
people visited Antietam battlefield at
Sharpsburg, drawn thither by the in
teresting exercises connected with the
dedication of the monument erected
by New Jersey to the memory of the
soldiers from that State who fell in
the battle. The chief speech was de-
livered by the President of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt. 4 special
train had brought him and other dis
tinguished guests to Sharpsburg. a
stand had been erected at the monu-
ment, which is located some distance
north of the Dunkard Church, and
large crowd had gathered around 1t,
despite the certainty, as indicated by
the clouds, that they would be drenched
sooner or later.
The exercises began about / o'clock
with prayer by Rev. DR.. Frazer, of
Newark. Then followed an address
by James o. Smith, of the monument
commission, who turned the monu-
ment over to Governor Murphy Of
New Jersey. The Governor made an
interesting speech, and then formally
presented the monument to the Unit
ed States as represented by the Presi-
dent.
President Roosevelt was received
with applause as he rose to deliver his
address. He read his speech from
typewriter manuscript, but occasion
ally deviated to interject some ofhand
remark or to utter pleasantly. He
referred to the battle of Antietam as
a decisive battle of the Civil War, as
sorting that if the Confederates had
been victorious at least two European
powers would have recognized the in
dependence of the Southern States.
He advocated the strenuous life in
times of peace as well as in times of
war, and thought now as always men
should shrink at no trial or danger or
hardship to secure victory. He closed
by saying; There are many quail
ties which we need alike in private
citizen and in public man, but three
above all-three for the lack of which
no brilliancy and no genius can atone
and those three are courage, hon
esty and common sense.
Before the President had finished
speaking driving rain came up and
the crowd began to get mighty wet.
Although he was catching some Of the
water himself, as it leaked through
the canvas covering of the etand, the
Precedent joked about it, and finished
his speech with almost as large an au-
dience as when he started. After he
had finished the party were driven
quickly to their cars, and later, when
the sun came out, they drove over the
battlefield. Secret service men kept
close watch over the President where
ever he went.
1t was a bedraggled crowd that
came back to town from the monu-
ment. The wind drove the rain ev-
erywhere, and people afoot or in We
hicles were drenched. The dresses
of the ladies were sadly spoiled.
However, the people had seen and
heard the President Of the United
States, and that's what they had gone
for.
The monument that was dedicated
was a very handsome one. 1t is a
Corinthian column Of granite 40 feet
high, with bronze figure of soldier
surmounting it.

FED THE DOCTOR.
How He Made Use of Food.

Sometimes it is the doctor himself
who finds it wise to quit the medi-
cines and cure himself by food
In looking around for a concentrate
ed palatable prepared food / got hold
of Grape-Nuts and Immediately began
using it four times a day, exclusively
for breakfast with milk; for luncheon
and dinner as dessert and a cup on re-
firing" says a physician of Mt. Zion,
Ill.
Il had had nervous dyspepsia for
over year. My normal weight is
lao pounds, but I had been steadily los
ing flesh, until month ago I only
weighed 122 pounds. I concluded It
was time to throw physic to the dogs
in my case. Twenty-four hours af-
ter starting the Grape Nuts regime,
the fullness and distress after eating
had ceased. The heartburn, water
brash, palpitation of the heart and 9TH
er symptoms that had reminded me
for over a year that I had stomach,
soon disappeared and can now eat a
square meal and feel good afterwards
II weighed yesterday and was sur
prised to find that I had gained eigh-
teen pounds in a month, and the end
is not yet.
The nervous symptoms have entire
ly disappeared and am stronger than
have been for two years. thank
you for placing Grape-Nuts a the dis
posal of those suffering with nervous
