Church Property In Scotland.

A Judgment recently delivered in the
House OF Lords has produced conster-

It there will probably be great reNsA

In October. 1900. there occurred the
famous union Of the Free Church of
Scotland with the United Presbyterian
Church. Twenty-four Free Church
ministers opposed the union. and
through the Scotch courts and the
House OF Lords have fought their claim
TO the whole property OF the Free
Church.
The courts rejected the claim, but
the House of Lords. by majority OF
two. reversed that judgment and rem
dered a decision which places in the
hands of these twenty-four ministers.

OLD FASHIONED.
Blu. still in the Fashion.

II Is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change OF food.
For two years l was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 80 minutes later would be spit.
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak. This
went out from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospect of being helped.
One day l was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream
leaving of all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me as had tried SO
many things without any help. But
1t was SO simple l thought l would
give 1t trial she insisted SO.
Well I ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me and asked
II l had tried her advice.
"'Glad you did CHILD, do you feel
come be:ter?'
No. said, I do not know rs I
do. the only difference can see is I
have no sour stomach and come to
think OF 1t haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
Nor did l ever have any trouble
with Grape-Nuts then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests 1t perfectly:
sooa got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time 1 see
her.
Once an invalid OF 50 pounds now
weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and
well and 1t is due entirely and only to
having found the proper food in

convention, however, which in adopt

and his supporters. This peculiar dis
tinction is reserved for the majority
in the Stearns county convention.
which adopted resolutions containing
the following:
We denouunce as unworthy Of con-
sideration by democrats and as direct.
~ opposed to democratic ideals the
candidacy Of any man to any Office
whose only claim is his wealth. and
voicin9 the almost unanimous opinion
OF the Stearns county democracy we
instruct the delegates to the state con-
vention to carry out the wishes Of the
voters who elected them to representa-

president.

right to have preference for pieei-
