FOOD IN SERMONS.

mons are Brilliant.

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: II 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
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
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 fair
trial. l quit the use of oatmeal and
GrapeNuts, 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-
tion became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, have always
had GrapeNuts food on my breakfast
table.
II was delighted to find also, that
whereas before began to use Grape.
Nuts food l was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study, q
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
l am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me
to q sturdy condition Of mental and
physical strength.
II have known of several persons
who were formerly troubled as I was,
and who have been helped as have
been. by the use of Grape-Nuts food,

Use of Tobacco by Minors.

The use of tobacco by children, its
causes and prevention is discussed
in the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, it
is notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself
School boys may be seen any day
! on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and chew of tobacco
or cigarette in their mouths. Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
indulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users. but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on. violation. The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent; !;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the childs salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians of humanity. If we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy; and the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest, lawyer and laymen will sneer
II we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but few of our own body poll
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are even good enough
politicians to ask councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon a measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily. for the time, along the lines of
individual effort. To do good. we
must practice, act, and preach. II
our smoking" friends will close their
eyes while putting pipe or cigar. they
will find they cannot tell when they
have fire." What foolishness, to
spend money and waste health to
watch smoke curl. Horace Greeley de-
fined cigar as "a roll of tobacco with
fire 1t one end and fool at the 9TH
err" and we think him more than
half right. II the use of tobacco by
the adult be such idiocy, what shall
we say Of its consumption by the
minor?

SAVED CHlLD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dcdd's
Kidney Pills.


Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one Of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith.
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. I stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodds
Kidney Pills. l gave him three Pills a
day, one morning. noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone. but to
give the medicine justice, l gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-fve
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
l consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

WARFARE AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Why Fight 1t.
Why Fight 1t.

The Charity Organization Society of
New York, in handbook on the pre-.
vention of tuberculosis, encourages
plague and gives concise summary
Of why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die of con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1,O95,0Oo of the people of
the world die Of it. In the United
States over 100000 die every year of
consumption. Every day 5000, and
each minute of the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many of
your friends have died of it?
Because it Is disease which
spreads from one person TO another,
and any one may catch it.
Because it is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit of splitting.
Because it is disease which can be
stopped, and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
help stop it.
Because already there is change for
the better. The number of deaths
from consumption is growing less
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop.
ulation than now.
If the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
had been maintained the first nine
months Of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died Of tuhercu1osic than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in.
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

How Habits Are Formed.

The formation of a physical habit
involves the education of a portion
of the brain; and when the habit has
once been formed the act may be per.
formed almost Independently of the
will or the higher brain. This fact
should impress us most profoundly
with the importance Of forming right
habits, since 1t is apparent that the
getting rid Of a wrong habit involves
not only the formation of a right
habit, but the far more tedious and
difficult work of undoing the evil
work which has been done in the
wrong education of the brain. This
same principle applies to the higher
centers which are concerned only in
mental acts, as we shall see later. 1t
is indeed most momentous thought
that every act of our lives, not only
emanates from the brain, but modi-
fies and changes the brain, thus infiu-
encing our characters.

PENSIoNING THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done in the Matter.

"The aged are generally held in re-
spect, but not more so than in the
United States" So says United States
Consul General Gowdy at Paris in a
report in regard to the care of the
aged in France. For more than half
a century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged, but not with en-
tire success. The law now in force,
which was adopted in 1895, is not al
together satisfactory and will probably
be amended in the near future.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($96.50) in the course of a
year. An account may be opened for
child three years of age; a married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. At any age
between fifty and sixty-five (or earlier
IN case of permanent disability to
work) the depositor may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according
to the amount of his deposit and in
terest and the probabilities of life, but
the annuity may not exceed 1900
francs ($231.5O).
In rural districts the tax gatherer
is empowered to receive deposits. and
In many factories certain percentage
is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Caisse in the workman's name.
A branch of the Caisse may be
founded in any town or village, with
the permission of the prefect of the
department. and there are about 2,300
of such branches, with nearly 10000
depositors. .--'r -,

Skin Training.

An enormous amount of time Is de-
voted to the training of the hand, the
eye, and the brain, but the training of
the skin is seldom thought of. Never
theless. well trained skin is more
essential to health than almcst any
other kind Of bodily culture. The neg
lect OF the skin must be regarded as
the foundation cause OF a large num-
her Of chronic maladies. 1t may al
most be asserted that man who will
keep his skin in thoroughly healthy
condition may defy almost any known
disease. The experienced horseman
knows very well the importance Of at
tending to the skin Of the animal un.
der his care. A horse which has a
hide-bound skin. with the hair dry and
dingy. dull and lifeless. in appearance,
shows by this fact that his whole body
Is in a state of disease.
A healthy skin Is warm, slightly
moist, smooth, reddens quickly when
rubbed or exposed to the action Of hot
or cold water, is supple and elastic,
perspires readily under exercise or the
application Of heat, and is free from
pimples. eruptions and discolorat;ons.
To maintain this condition, the skin
must be subjected to daily bathing and
grooming. Horsemen rub and groom
their charges daily. Wild and domes.
tic animals left free in the field habit.
ually groom themselves by vigorous
rubbing against trees or other objects.

After fever, such as typhoid or scar
