FOOD IN SERMONS.

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
Il am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure Of
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one OF my articles of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early Part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
eggs, seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re.
turn, however. next morning.
Having heard of Grape Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it fair trial.
quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and
made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. The result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long time, followed the MORN
ing meal. My digestion 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.
Il was delighted 10 find also. that
whereas before l began to use Grape
Nuts food / was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked Improvement Ii this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet. l
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to a
sturdy condition of mental and physical
strength.

portions il the record for the first

tanned to its close. Over 1000 for
eigners arrived in New York In two
days in March, an unprecedented
showing. The number of arrivals dur
ing the first quarter of 1905 has never
been exceeded during like period in
former years. 1t is probable that the
immigration this year will be double
that of 1904. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to furnish transporta-
ton. Ships hitherto engaged in other
service are in demand for the trans.
portation of the coming hosts from
Europe and steerage accommodations
are booked ahead for several months.

WHY EYEIGHT FAILS

Fias,s Cesass HxSs tAs Eyes.
New York. June 2o.-No one can 70
into our schools or meet q group of
children on the street without noticing
how large a number Of them wear
spectacles. The proportion seems TO
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought TO wear glasses. The
experience of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inatfentive and she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said so
10 the principal aud sent a note 10
the mother. requesting that the child
be helped at home IL che wished her
to keep up with her class. One day
after a blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and By dint of much kympa thetic Ques-
tioning Miss c. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
ached 50 often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but In our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality OF the artificial light. The vel
low, insufficient light of the ordinary
kerosene lamp, with Its smoky chin
ney, Is about as bad for the eyes as
can be ims gined. The Pickering light
from coal gas Jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an nsteadiness
due to variations in power, and q glare
peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves
Of sight. The comparatively new IL
luminant acetylene gas produces as
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives a clear white,
unwaverlng light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
rays Of the sun that even colors ap-
pear as In daylight.
Fortunately. acetylene Is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions Of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that rs
it's use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu.
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.
