expensive houses that are occupied
by intelligent persons cannot prop

home sentiment is lacking. In or
der to have a home each member Of
the family must do their share to-

satisfaction in devising plans and

occasionally about the little affairs
that affect home life are interesting,
and they help to bind the members
of the family together in sympathy.
There may be a bond of sympathy
between the members of the family
for a short time without any ap-
parent outside indications, but very
soon the house occupied by such a
family will take on an air of comfort
and sociability, neighbors will drop
in occasionally because they like to
do so. There is an attraction that
calls them. and they like to respond.

ODD PLACE FOR PROPOSAL
Young Man Made Happy While Bath
ing with His Inamorata at
the Seashore.

Atlantic City, N. IA days outing
at the seashore had a romantic ter
mination for two excursionists.
Charles w. Kay, SO years old, a book
keeper from Philadelphia, and Miss
Magdalena Euker, "a years old, of
Folsom, this state, were bathing in
the breakers when Kay suddenly
screwed up courage to pop the ques-
ton.
A big wave drenched them at that
moment, and Miss Euker emerged
suffering and blowing salt water
from her mouth and nose. Between
gurgles, however, Kay got the answer
that will make him happy man for
the rest of his life.
The couple decided to surprise their
friends, and the pair presented them
selves at the parsonage of the First
Baptist church, where the nuptial
knot was tied by Rev. Jennings OBJ.

The idea that fashionable women

broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs Stuyyesant Fish
went into the principal dry goods

stopped to watch man who was
selling cement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is cement
for cut glass which not only mends
it but makes it ring as clearly as if
1t were new" Mrs. Fish called back:
My servants break so much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and
if they knew it were possible to
mend it they would break it all, so l
don't care for any, th.nk you"

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Make,
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies In your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago l contracted very
annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found great change upon a cup of
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than a year | have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain of
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.
