Food Strengthens the Mother and Makes
 Milk for the Baby.
 There are many cases on record where the use of the scientific food Grape Nuts has produced milk for mother in a few days, so she could nurse her baby in the natural way.
 A case of this kind is told by lady of Decatur, Ga: When my baby was two months old had very disordered stomach and everything ate disagreed with me.
 s'This worried me so and I was so weak and nervous I was almost a wreck and had to stay in bed most Of the time and the result was that I had to put baby on the bottle. After trying this for a week the poor little thing did not thrive and I thought she would surely die. &
 Then along came a friend who begged me to try Grape-Nuts food al- though neither she nor I thought it would cause me to have nourfshment for baby. But concluded to eat Grape Nuts and began that same day with good results.
 Ut was the first food had eaten for more than three weeks that had agreed with me and continued eating it and gained strength rapidly and after only two days use of this food I was able to nurse my baby again and in less than week I had taken her entirely from the bottle. ,..,
 "You can imagine what a pleasure this is to mother and I am more thankful to Grape-Nuts food on baby account than on my own although in- cidentally must tell you that I have gained 9 pounds in weeks" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.

 CEREMONIES YESTERDAY. <
A Handsome New Building Casting With Equipment sI5,ooo Happy surprise Gift to Wipe ont the Debt.

Branford, July 23.-The dedication ceremonies of the new Congregational
 church at Stony Creek took place tSS day under very suspicious circumstan- ces. There was large attendance at the services, including many from out
 of town. and the members of the chuhch
 received many congratulations upon their beautiful temple of worship. The new church is certainly hard- some building, and the interiorfis very
 attractive. The peWs and furniture are
 modern and up to: date. and the au-
 dience room is handsomely carpeted.
 The total outlay for church and furn-
 ishings was about s15.OOO. The cost is
 about double what was intended at the outset, but the society has one of the prettiest churches for a village of the size of Stony Creek in the state. And they are to be happily congratulated upon the fact that practically all the bills are paid.
 The society has a membership of
 about 100. The church is really an off shoot Of the Branford church. and the
 Rev. Dr. Dewitt, in his address entitled Maternal spoke very happily and re- ferred to the great interest felt by the mother church for the new society. The services began at 10 a. m. with a fellowship meeting, preceded by the reading of appropriate Scripture, the congregation standing. The services which followed were as folloWs:. Apostles creed; Gloria; solo, 70 Rest in the Lord" (Mendelssohn), Mrs Cece- | lia F. Denslow; prayer, Rev. Warren B.
 Bigelow, Third church, Guilford; greet ings, Maternal Rev. T. Dewitt, Bran ford; filial, Rev. Franklin Countryman, North Branford. hymn 195, .Blest be the Tie That Binds:n former pastors,
 Rev. George R. Pelton, Centerbrook;
 Rev. J. A. Freeman, Woodbury; solo, "But the Lord is Mindful (Mendels- sohn), Mrs. Cecelia P. Denslow; state, Rev. Clarence Barber, Manchester;
 Rev. Joel Ives. state missionary secre- tary; official. Henry U. Evans, esq, Stony Creek; solo, Miss Pratt; address, "The Church in the Life of the Commu- nity," Rev. Professor Frank K. San- ders. Yale divinity school.
 The dedicatory exercises began this afternoon at 2:SO. The new church lock- ed very pretty with the appropriate decorations.
 The old church was burned ten or twelve years ago and nearly all the time since the congregation has wor- shipped in Seaside hall. For the past
 year services have been held in the new church. The society decided not to ded- icate the edifice until all the indebted ness was cancelled and the dedication to-day is held under very pleasant aus-
 pices. H.-,&s 5z

Cleared Up Indebtedness of Stony Creek
 \ Church. 4,a
 At the dedication of the new Congre- gational church at Stony Creek yester- day one of the pleasant incidents came as surprise. Senator William Clark, who is one of the prominent residents of Stony Creek, has taken g. great deal of interest in the welfare of this church for some time. He is now member of the congregation, but has in several in- stances gone down in his pockets to as- sist them. A short time ago he pre- scented them with a check for $500 and also put in the new furnaces which are in position now.
 It was the earnest desire of the en- tire congregation that there should be no debts outstanding against the church at its dedication and it was with great pleasure that those attending the services to-day heard of Senator Clark s last gift. He sent those in charge of the church's affairs a receipted bill for $200, thus clearing up the indebtedness of the church.

RIDING ON A PORPOISE.
Goes Fishing and Has a Won
derfuI Experience.
Mr.. Editor of the Journal

Mr.. Editor of the Journal:
With your consent l will relate through
the columns of the journal a strange ex-
p~erience through which | passed While
making my first visit to Five Mile Beach
last summer. l nave not hitherto told
the story to a living soul, fearing that it
might be doubted, and as my reputation
for yeracity is unquestioned among my
friends l hesitate even now, but here goes
regardless of the danger to my reputation.
1t was on a pleasant day in August that
I went to the fishing banks with one of
Anglesea's best known captains. Our
boat became becalmed and a school of
porpoises disported near us. The captain
dropped into a doze just as a huge por-
poise stopped within six inches of our
boat. l was seized with an irresistible
impulse to get on the back of the leviathan
and take a ride and almost before l knew
it l found myself astride of the porpoise.
The big fish in some way held me fast as
l attempted to get back in the boat and
in a moment l was speeding seward
faster hal any Atlantic liner ever cut
through the foam. Suddenly my charger
made a dive into the deep and l was lost
to consciousness until | came to my senses
in a Subterranean cavern where sat q mer-
maid lovely to behold. Her face was that
of a Cleopatra and her manner fascinated
me.
THE MERMAID'S STORY.
| seated myself on a divan of coral cov-
cred with silken sponges and moss and
this is what she SAT- to me:
"Sir, l am the fairy mermaid who
watches over Five Mile Beach. At my
bidding 1t goes forward or backward, and
henceforth the growth and prosperity of
the island will be the wonder of the
world. The time is near at hand when
instead of three towns or boroughs, there
will be one city, and Holly Beach, Wild
wood and Anglesea will each be a ward
of the city. Each ward will elect one
Councilman, and three Councilman cleo
ted at large, will be the method of choos-
ing the men to guide it's government.
There will be one mayor instead of
three. one tax assessor, one collector, one
Board of Education and one High school
with two schools of lesser grades of
studies. One post-office will handle the
mails and carriers deliver free all mail
matter on the island. The saving in ex-
pense will be great with the centralized
government and while it will be opposed
at first, everybody will look back at the
old methods with a smile.
