The Departed.
ed the departed

The Departed the Departed
They visit us in dreams,
And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams;
But where the cheerful lights OF home
In constant luster burn,
The departed, the departed,
Can never more returnl
The good, the brave, the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirgelike music
OF the ever-tossing deepl
Or where the surging night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces,
In the cities of the dead
I look around, and feel the awe
OF one who walks alone,
Among the wrecks of former days,
In mournful ruin strown;
1 start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice of the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
TheS .olemn voicel It mingles with
Fac free and careless strain:
I scarce can think earth's minstrelSy
VIII cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves,
The thrilling notes of BIRDS,
Can never be so dear to me
AS their remembered words.
1 sometimes dream their pleasant smile
Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love 1 family hear
NV name in sadness call.
I know that they are happy,
With their angel plumage on,
But my hear Is very desolate
To think that they are zone.

AS EASY
Needs onIx a Llttle ThInkIna.

Needs Only a Little Thinking.
The food Of childhood often decides
whether n is to grow up well nour-
ished and healthy Or weak and sick
ly from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the
other provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can ac-
complish wonders provided the pa
tient is willing to help and will eat
only proper food.
Speaking of this case the Mother
said her little four year old boy was
suffering from a peculiar arrangement
of the stomach, liver and kidneys and
his feet became 80 swollen he couldn't
take a step. I'VE called a Doctor who
said at once we must be very careful
as to his diet as improper food was
the only cause Of his sickness. Sugar
especially, he forbid.
80 the DR.. made up a diet and the
principal food he prescribed was
Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very
fond Of sweet things took the Grape
Nuts readily without adding any
sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet
in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane
or beet sugar but is the natural sweet
of the grains.)
I'VE saw big improvement inside g
few days and now Grape-Nuts are al
most his only food and he is once
more a healthy, happy, r~osy-cheeked
%yOungster with every prospect to
grow up into a strong healthy man
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Greek, Mich.
The sweet Of Grape-Nuts is the Ma
ture-sweet known as Post Sugsr, not
digested in the liver like ordinary
sugar, but p~re-digested. Feed the
youngsters a handful Of Grape-Nutf
when Nature demands sweet and
prompts them to call for ugar.
There's a reason.

In conversation with a Montreal Star

volcanic horror of Martinique.

of mandolins upon the French ships

color and music gone. as though 1t

AMERICAN SODA FouNT.
When the Stars and Stripes Rose II
Began to Flzz.

6SHdN " TiGNs
Wherever American civilization goes,
there goes the soda fountain.
From the very moment the Spanish
flag was hauled down in the Philip
pines the demand for a soda fountain
existed.
The man of the hour appeared, hail
ing from Illinois. He arrived in Ma
nilla the very day the stars n stripes
first waved VIGOROUSLY over the is
lands, and so well did he improve his
opportunity that he to-day is spoken
of as the most successful business man
in the archipelago.
He was a confectioner, and as such
began business. He discovered the
presence of the first American soda
fountain in this section of the far East
A local drug store had bought 1t, but
the war had interfered with its intend
ed use, and it had been relegated to a
cellar. The ~confectioner rescued it by
paying the price the shrewd owner
asked when he realized how much II
was wanted, and in so doing became
the first dispenser of soft drinks in the
Philippines.
That soda fountain became a thing
of 10y for expatriated Americans. Tit
original one has been twice replaced
Once in 1899. when a new one wai
bought In China, and again in 1902. Th'
present fountain was bought in New
York at an expense of $4,000. 1t wa
purchased during a trip around tn
world, which the owner was enabled
to make as a result of his successful
business yenture.-Washington Post
