human nature played an important part
in his success. He possessed another
quality, however, which is almost. IL
not quite, as essential in jury work,
and that is clearness and simplicity Of
statement. His logical mind
marshaled facts in such orderly Sc,

simple language, that child could fol-

cause, and his mere recital of the issues

HE WENT ON CRUTCHES
All Medicines Failed Until Or. VII
iiams' Pink Pills Cured His
Rheumatjsm ..

''5ome years ago." says Mr.. W. "A.
Clark, a printer, living at Gle Buchanan
street, Topeka, Kans., II had bad at.
tack Of rheumatism and could not seem
to get over it. All sorts of medicines
failed to do me any good and my trouble
kept getting worse. My feet were SO
swollen that / could not wear shoes and
had to go on crutches. The pain was
terrible.
"One day was setting the type of an
article for the paper telling what DR..
Williams Pink Pills had done for a man
afflicted as was and I was SO impressed
with it that l determined to give the
medicine trial. For a year my rheu-
matism had been growing worse, but
after taking DR.. Williams Pink pills /
began to improve. The pain and SWELL

"Never mind about the thanks, only 1t
shows you've got manners; but you might
as well have some cakes, too: come
along!' Into the clean, light kitchen
they were escorted, and quickly plate
of crisp brown cakes and two cups of
milk We're out ON the table-leaf beside
them. "Now, lay them flowers down, an

When they began timidly to eat, their

SO they should not be embarrassed by
her presence. After a little she caught
scraps Of talk which made her smile to
hear.
Jennie, hers like an angel, amt her?"
''Sh-h-yes, Bobbie, but we must take
but one cake apiece, cause it amt po-
lite."
Il know, but I'm taking the teeniest

graves In it, but each one was marked
with flag to guide the veterans in their
bestowal of honors. On her way to her
own family plot she passed new head
stone, then turned back and read the
inscription: ",ro the memory of Lottie;
aged seventeen"
Suddenly tears dimmed the woman's
eyes, and she said softly: Poor Lottie.
Such child-only, seventeen; perhaps
she was blamed oyermuch. Lord, forgive
us ALL" She knelt by the mound--such
short one, and measured its length
with purple spikes of lilac, tufts Of
snow-howers, and her choicest bloom--a
large, white, pink-fringed peony.
On two or three other graves she
dropped flower for memory, and then
upon her own placed the rest. Somehow
the departed ones and very near to her.
The fragrant things laid above their quiet
hearts seemed to soothe and comfort her
own restless one, and make it more ten
der and loving. And when the drum
beats came rolling up the hill she stood
up and blessed the veterans, who through
long years remembered their own.
why, Hetty Vail! I'm glad to see
ye! An l do b'lieve you've been deco
ratin'."
"Yes, Auntie Dean, have. An it was
only last year / told you you was foolish
to trudge way out here on such an err
rand. I've thought about it and other
things / said"
LAW, yes, I remember; but didn't

good woman! How she loved the flowers,
dear heart! I'm right glad that you've
laid some laylocks so nigh to her, Hetty,
at last; it's very fittin', pears to me-"
Later, in wandering among the plots,
Miss Vail CHANGED upon her guests of the
day before.
"Oh, oh, Missus! so you did come. How
nice; and won't you step over an see
how fine pas ixed2 Ma says it's just

But now guess you better git along

But after the children had gone she
turned and looked on the purple lilac and
SNOWFALL bushes; they seemed as full as
ever.
II be stingy SOUL" she said. "What
if the Lord should put just as few as he
could on a bush? But, no, he loads 'em,
an I'm so selfish to divide 'em up
around" And as the day went on. her
thoughts were not on the work of her
hands as usual. She thought of mother,
of her ways and words and lilxings; Of the
younger sister who had bloomed as a
rose and faded quickly; Of the dear old
father who, with most Of his household
gone beyond, had been willing and even
glad to follow. Only two more appli-
cants came for flowers, but they were
amazed at the lavish way in which Miss
Vail filed their hands and arms, and felt
conscience stricken lest they had here
tofore misjudged her.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Dige.tins Element Left on

The Dfgesting Element Left Ont.
Bread dyspepsia Is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch Is digest

~ Nature has provided curious de-
posit which Is turned into diastase
when IL Is subjected to the saliva and
to the panereatic juices In the human
fntestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn 1t into grape
sugar, which Is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, SO Natures val
liable digester Is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, perl
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we 60 so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
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 the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside Of the human body.
In this way the stachy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar In perfectly
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 is nat
urally pre-digested and Its use In place
OF bread will quickly correct the trou-
bles that have been brought about by
the too free use Of starch In the food,
and that is very common In the human
race to-day.
The effect Of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance OF ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will gsin rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health.

thanks for her kindness, in recalling the
reluctant bestowal of it.
Mother! o mother! some one has been

return from the cemetery. "Her grave
was covered with flowers. Some one has
forgiven her, and loves her yet besides

The living went home. The sun drift

Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.
A recent number of the Winnipeg
NAIanitoba) Free Press contains an ex.
-eellent article on the prospects in West
ern Canada, portion Of which we are
pleased to reproduce. ..
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different centres In the
States, will be pleased to give any fur
ther information as to rates, and how
to reach these lands.
Just now there is keener interest
than ever before on sthe part of the
outside world in regard to the claims
of the Canadian West as a field of set
tlement. At no previous time has there
been such a rush Of immigration, and
the amount of information distributed
broadcast is unprecedentedly great.
I'm the majority of the States Of the
Union and in Great Britain the oppor-
tunities for home-making and the
achieving of even a modest competence
are at the best limited. Moreover, ac-
cording to the social and industrial con-
ditions prevalent in those communities,
the future holds out no promise of bet
ter things. 1t Is not strange, then, that
energetic young men should turn their
eyes to Canada's great wheat belt,
vuh horn
without the hindrance Of any discour-
aging handicap. -.
1.-The inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably GER
tain is borne out by the history Of the
country and its residents. The prom
ise Of gain is powerful. but when added
70 it there Is the prospect OF CORE
spending social and civil elevation, it
should prove irresistible to young men,
of particularly desirable class for
any new country.
The Canadian West is alive with OPP
pOrtunities Tor the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom In the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows, who
arrive on the prairies daily, are des-
tined to become more than merely pros
porous farmers. In the near future
great municipal and Provincial develop
ment will be in the hands Of the peo-
pie. The stepping stone to both finan-
cial prosperity and civil prominence Is.
and will be, the farm. For every pro-
fessicnal opening there are hundreds
of agricultural openings. The Cana
dian prairies are teeming with oppor-
tunities for the honest and industrious
of all classes, but they are specially
inviting to the ambitious young man
who seeks field for the energy and
ability which he feels inherent within
him. The familiar cry Of Back to the
soilv is more than a vain sounding
phrase when applied to Western Can
ada"
