BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.


Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t at
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pam
create juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part Of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, SC natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma
cure intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we go SO contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and tho
proper conditions for developing the
| diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar In a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use Of
chemicals or any outside ingredients
The little sparkling crystals Of grape.
sugar can be seen on the pieces Of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore IL
naturally pre-digested and its use In
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in tht
food, and that is very common in thu
human race to-day.
The eeffct Of eating Graps-Nuts ter
days or two weeks and the d~iscontin'
nance Of ordinary white bread Is very
marked. The use will gain rapidly n
strength and physical and menta
! health.

Keen Alive Love for Flag.

As each year rolls around some patri-
otto city is asked to welcome the G. A..
R. in a grand runeion, striving to out
do some other city, which with out
stretched arms has welcomed the G.. A.
r. in a grand reunion, striving to out
to life a dormant spirit of devotion to
the old flag and a resolve that this
union of states will never be dissolved.
without the G. A. R. to refresh the
memory of the people OF this country,
they would be apt to forget the great
sacrifice this nation suffered that this
union should not be dissolved.
Again there is another wing to the
G. A. R., the Sons of Veterans, organ
lied TO go hand in hand with the G.
A. r. to perpetuate their memory for
generations to come, to keep alive the
love for the old flag, as the strength
of the nation depends on the love of its
people to defend 1t in time Of danger.

q. A.. R. the C~onservator Of Peace.

The Grand Army of the Republic has
been one of the greatest conservators O!
peace because it's members realize more
fully than any n else could the cost
of war both in blood and treasure. The
wounds and disease contracted by them
in the civil war are ever present re-
minders of it's cost. They would have
been ready to have sacrificed much be-
fore engaging in such another struggle.
They have been the leaders Of all
movements tending to higher patri.
otism and loyal service to their
country. They have fostered and
encouraged every effort looking to
more loyal citizenship. They have
taught the world a lesson In fra.
ternity extending not only to their
own members, but to the men of the
south who fought against them, and !
believe they have done and are doing
more to reunite the two sections of our
country as patriotic American citizeps
than any other agency or society.

Sleeping, Not Dead.

We silent men, who to your country gave
The last full measure of ~devotion-life-
We fell asleep while the tumultuous

Around yeu swelled in fury, like the wave
Which breaks upon the rocks which prove

To-day, around you all the air is rife
With wailing cries from bugle and from

The voice of that dear land you died to

Nav, We have never died-ye live to-day
In every soul which joys that it is free;

With every flashing star undimmed, UNI

In all our hearts, which clay like yours
shall be
Before our land forgets what freedom
cost.

fraternity. Charity and Loyalty.

Fraternity. Charity and Loyalty.
The greatest service the Grand Army
of the Republic has rendered is the
beautiful way in which it gives life to
the principles of the organization-fra-
ternity, charity and loyalty.
That millions of men of every degree
of life and station should for 40 years
be bound together by this common bond
of brotherhood is not only worthy Of
admiration, but also Of imitation by the
members Of this republic.
Charity, or love, is the greatest thing
in the world, and love is the key to
every department of life, the founda-
ton of patriotic teaching, the safety Of
the country, the home and the individ-
ual.
Loyalty to their comrades, their or
%ganization. their country and their God
has been fittingly illustrated in the
lives of these boys in blue.
This trinity of principles, If copied
by our 80 O0, 900 citizens, would make
us the greatest nation on earth.

THE POINT OF THE PRovERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
it means, stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t is amusingS however. to remark
how every one of US secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac'
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a job Of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one Of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters Union, Amy
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
None of your ready made mixtures
for me; 1 reckon I ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last The fancy farmer
can farm, Of course, but 1t is an ex
pensive amusement. If 1t strikes him
as pleasant to grow strawberries al
fifty cents apiece, or to produce egg:
that cost him five dollars a dozen,
is a form of amusement, to be sure
If he can afford it, but it's not farm
ing. If the farmer likes to slosi
around with a paint brush and can al
ford the time and the expense of hay
ing a practical painter do the joI
right pretty soon afterward, it's
harmless form of amusement. II tn
painters customers can afford t
stand for paint that comes off in hal
the time it should, they have a perfec
right to indulge his harmless vanlt
about his skill in paint making. Bu
in none of these cases does the sIot
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class OF men l
the world that knows how to max
paint properly and have the facilitle
for doing it right; and that is IL
paint manufacturers-the makers {
the standard brands Of ready-prepare
paints. The painter miTeS paints
the paint manufacturer grinds the
together. In a good ready-prepare
paint every particle of one kind
pigment is forced to join hands WI,
a particle of another kind and ever
bit of solid matter is forced, as
were, to open its mouth and drink
it's share Of linseed oil. That is II
only way good paint can be made, al
if the painter knew how to do 1t
has nothing at hand to do it with.
paint pot and a paddle are a pc
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mil
and roller-mills.
The man who owns a building al

. needs paint is only a degree mo

painter to mix his paint for him.

Memorial Day.

oh, draw aside, the drapery of gloom
And let the sunshine chase the clouds
away
And gild with brighter glory every tomb
we decorate to-day.
And in the holy silence reigning round,
While prayers of perfume bless the at

Where loyal souls of love and faith are
found,
Thank God that peace is here.
And let each angry impulse that may start
Be smothered out of every loyal breast;
And, rocked within the cradle of the heart,
Let every sorrow rest.

A TW0-FOOt Rat.


E. Holmes, warehouseman, at the
Oriental dock, had the distinction
recently of killing the largest rat
ever seen along the local water front.
The rodent weighed nearly seven
pounds, and from the tip Of his nose
to the end Of his tail he measured
two feet.
1t was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that the i'm
mense rat was killed. For some
time scraps of paper and wood in
the tool-room of the warehouse in
dicated that swarm Of rodents was
at work. Yesterday morning Mr..
Holmes encountered the big fellow.
With broom handle he attempted
to put an end to the rodents life,
but the rat showed fight. Back and
forth he scampered, and when corn
cred he rushed at his assailant.
Once he hid behind a coil of rope
overhead, and then he dashed at
Holmes head. The latter lodged,
but the Rodents sharp teeth grazed
his face. At last the rat was killed
and measurements proved that he
was the biggest ever seen in port.
The animal is supposed to be a
species found in South America, and
it is supposed he came here in a
ship, all of which carry many ro-
dents.

Punishment at Lite
Term.

Lawrenceburg, Ky, Jan. 6.-The
jury in the case Of James Bast found
the prisoner guilty of being aces
sorry to the murder of James York
and fixed his punishment at confne-
ment in the penitentiary for life.
The evidence on behalf of the de-
PENDANT was confined to the mental
condition of the defendant, and to
his whereabout on the day of the
killing. The instructions were given
to the jury and the arguments made
Friday afternoon and evening, the
case being submitted to the jury
about $50 last night.
This morning the jury came into
court and asked for Further instruc-
tions.
In the course of an hour they
came into court again and returned
a verdict, finding the defendant,
James Bast. guilty as charged and
fixing his punishment at confinement
in the penitentiery for life.
The verdict comes in the nature
of surprise for the public but there
is general satisfaction with the re-
suit, for, while very few believed
that the defendant could be convict
ed under the instructions. All be-
lieve that he is guilty of conspiring
to bring about the death of James

Some do still, the Tibetians for in

He might by the same process show
that nature intended men to eat one

children, to slaughter the aged as
soon as they are past work, to burn
dead mems wives and to sacrifice
human beings to religious supersti-

1t is more than amazing that in an
enlightened land and in, this enlight-

rage sense and sentiment alike
by advocating a return to a mar
