THE AUTHOK-MAN'S SURPRISE
Little Story with a Sequel That 10
Hard to Guess.

Upon a certain day there was an
author-man who needed the money;
so he sat down and took up that OBJ
ject which is reputed to be mightier
than the sword and wrote a piece.
Having finished his article, he went
to the post office, purchased some
milling stamps and mailed the piece
to the editor. Then he waited for the
child of his brain to make its way
back to his mantel piece, accompan-
led by warm note from the editor
saying that, owing to a redundancy
of similar matter he was compelled
to reject the piece, although this ac-
ton wrenched his heart strings to
such an extent as to almost drag that
organ from it's mornings. However,
this rejection was to be considered as
in nowise a condemnation of the mer-
ii of the article, etc, etc.
The near-author waited a spell, but
the letter that he looked for but
dreaded, never came. Now, dear
reader, we give you three guesses as
to the fate of the manuscript. Nope;
all wrong. The piece was accepted.
This is it.-Judge.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start =; the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago i suffered with
bad acknowledgement, indigestion,
stipation-caused, l know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
II doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. / could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and l be-
came discouraged.
"a friend recommended Grape.Nuts
and j began to use il. In less than
two weeks l began % feel better, and
inside of two months l was well
woman and have been ever since.

pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond of it," Name given by Postum

Farmers's Plea Had Weight Among
Brother AericuIturists.

In the early forties, on certain

farming communities of the Granite

for new sch9Slhouse."

from the start of their numerical
weakness, were conciliatory and per-

to their standard sufficient Of the op-
position to carry the day. These hopes
were dashed, however, when vet

got the floor, and shouted in foghorn
tones:

the right of an immortal SOIL as we'll

healed not by any process of statutory
enactment, but by that spirit of broth
erly love and kindness which takes
possession of the human heart at
Christmastide.
Just so far as that spirit continues
regnant in the hearts of men through
out the year Will the Christmas season
be prolonged and continue to give its
blessings to mankind.
Perhaps one lesson which the Christ
mas season teaches above all others is
that, in order to enter the kingdom
of peace and happiness, we must be-
come as a little child. And let that
appealing love which the little child
inspires become a persisting force in
our lives!

TOWN. TOPICS.
THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS AMI
THE EGYPTIANS,

Many have been interested in the
occasional readings by Miss S. J. Scud-
der, President Of the Christian En-
deavOr Society. She has just finished
reading us a charming story of the
journey and experiences of a happy
Hungarian family from the foot Of
the Carpathian Mountains to this
great new country of ours. Those who
listened so intently to the story may
be glad to learn little more about
the people and the Carpathian noun
tains from which they come:
Many would open their eyes in sur
prise on learning how numerous the
aliens are in our land. OF Hungarians
alone there came to this country 1884,

ritan New England is to-day about
sixty per cent Of foreign parentage,
and an increasing proportion of the
present immigra tiOn is coming to

most foreign state in the Union and

inc toward the East or the rising sun.
The Carpathians form such curious
~ curving ridge of mountains that
they can bound the country on half it's
sides, the S. E., E., N. E.. N, and N.
| w., thus these mountains encircle the
head and the back of the sunfish. On
other sides spurs from the Alps form
boundaries.
1t is claimed that Hungary is the
healthiest country in Europe. It has
a diversity of climates owing to the
varied CONFORMATION OF the land.
The sCarpathiant mountains are rich.
ly wooded in many places and the
spurs form, beautiful and romantic
valleys. The soil is so fertile that it
yields abundantly in spite of the anti
quated methods of farming and caring
for the stock. Agriculture and stock
breeding are the national occupations.
Hungary is one Of the principal wheat
large quantities of wheat and flour
every year. The high quality of it's
wheat is famous. Maize, rice, hemp,
flax, tobacco and many other products
are raised. AS wine producing coun-
try Hungary is second only to France,
both in the number of varieties of the
wines and also in the quality. While
many of the Hungarians who come to
this country are ignorant and while
agricultural processes in Hungary are
for the most part crude, it must not
be supposed that Hungary is dark
and benighted land, flor there are
many excellent technical institutions
| throughout the country teaching the
latest and most scientific methods OF
farming and manufacturing to many
students, so the conditions are rapidly
improving on all sides.
