The Best of Life.

49,
Not till life's heat is cooled.
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion that has
ruled
Our noisier years, at last
Spurs us in vain, and, weary of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All, not till all the best Of life seems
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handicappings, and the tickle gusts Of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days;
We on whose ears youths passing bell
has tolled
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us
Broken among our c~hildhood's toys. for
then
We win to s%elf-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon US from the vast and MINDLESS
Those cleaner thoughts that are into
the soul
What stars are to the night.

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials. it
was decided, beginning with the g
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed of the
Twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years. and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer
for the one hundred and eighty days
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cage in 1898, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point hat the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for it's distance,
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time.
and for three years and $50 days hav-
ing held the worlds record for a
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time Of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. M, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York,
at $3.50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York $3.50 p. M, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. M. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be ~quiekened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in 2S hours in
stead Of "a. leaving Chicago $3.50 D.
m, by the Lake Shore and arriving
NV York $3.50 p. M, by the New
York Central.
The Southwestern Limited" train.
No. IL, which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at 1 p. M, will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2;04 p. M, saving
an hour to an hour and a half on he
present journey to st. Louis and Gin

Breathing and Digestion.

The stomach lies just below the
diaphragm, and a portion of the me-
chanical work of the stomach, the
mingling of the food and the digestive
fluids, is performed by the diaphragm,
which. as it moves up and down,
kneads the stomach n it's contents,
and so greatly aids digestion. In or
binary breathing in a quiet person the
movements of the chest are so slight
as to be scarcely noticeable, and the
action Of the diaphragm produces lit
tie effect; but by moderate exercise
these movements are greatly in
creased, more than doubled, and the
stomach is energetically kneaded. In
this way, moderate exercise after eat
ing is beneficial. The practice OF
breathing movements is also very
helpful for persons who have slow
digestion.
Exercise out Of doors is especially
helpful. Fresh air, and especially
cold air, sharpens the appetite. and
creates a demand for food by burning
up the waste matters with which the
tissues are clogged, and preparing the
way for new material, which digestion
introduces into the blood.

A conscientious, Woodworking and

writes: 81 am glad to bear testimony
to the pleasure and increased meas
ure of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet.
For several years / was much dis
tressed during the early part of each

usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed to digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ing.
Having heard Of Grape-Nuts food,
| finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. l quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts of
Grape-Nuts. cream. toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, l have always
had Grape-Nuts food On my breakfast
table.

produced this result and helped me
