CIR
THEY LAUGHED
AT the Arguments on the Packages.

The husband of an Ohio woman
brought home some packages of Grape
Nuts one evening and there was much
discussion, but let her tell the story.
1.-TWO years ago I was thin and sickly
and suffered 80 from indigestion, was
very nervous, and could not sleep at
night, I was not able physically or men
tally to perform my duties and was con-
stantly under the care Of u physician.
! had tried plain living and all the differ
ent remedies recommended by friends
but got no better.
"One day my husband brought home
two yellow boxes and said, The grocer
wants us to try this food and report how
we like it, he thinks it will help you /
read all it said on the boxes about Grape
Nuts and | remember how | laughed at
it, for l thought it foolish to think food
could help me. But the next meal we all
ate some with cream. We liked and en-
joyed the deliciously crisp and new
flavor 80 we kept on using Grape-Nuts,
not because we thought it would cure me
but because we liked it.
AT that time we had no idea what the
results would be, but now l am anxious to
have the world know that today / am a
well and strong woman physically and
mentally. l gained over 30 pounds, do
not suffer from any Of the old ails and I
know that it is to Grape-Nuts alone that
l W my restored health. They call me
'Grape-Nuts' here in the home and all
of my friends have esked me the cause
Of it all. l have persuaded several OF
them to Use Grape-Nuts and every one of
them who has done so has been bene-
fitted and l wish it were in my power to
induce everyone who is sick to give this
wonderful food a trial. We still have
Grape-Nuts three times a day and v
tire Of it," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Ten days on this nourishing and COM
pletely d,spstible food will show anyone
who is run down from improper feeding
a great change, sometimes worth more
than a gold mine because it may mean
the joy and spring of perfect health in
place of the old ails. Trial proves
aThere's q reason"

PROPOSAL TO PROMOTE JUDGES.
Bar Association 10 Consider II Lower Bench
Should Not Replenish Higher.

bar Association 10 Consider II Lower Bench
Should Not Replenish Higher,
On a petition signed by the requisite
number OF members a special meeting of
the Bar Association has been called to de-
termine whether or not, in the opinion of the
~associat ion, justices Of the higher courts
ought not to be selected from the lower
courts, instead Of from among lawyers
who have never had a chance to demonstrate
that by temperament and otherwise they are
fitted to be Judges. The head of the move
ment liz George A. Alexander.
"The present system" he said last night
els anything but favorable TO getting the
best public service in the courts. As
matters now are a man Ia selected for a
Judgeship because Of personal or political
reasons without consideration Of his quail
fcations for the place. But II the selections
should be made from the men who have
served in the lower courts the efficiency Of
such men would be positively known. The
great success made by the few men who
have been advanced from minor judicial
places to higher ones is proof that a system
OF promotion would bring about splendid
results The date OF the meeting of the
association has not yet been fixed.

WASHINGTON NOT GREATr
The Rev. DIR. steele. in an Address at Valley
Forge. Says He wasn't.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, June 19.-George WASH
ington is not " first in war, first in peace,
and certainly not first in the heart Of at
least one Of his c~ountrymen,' according
to the Rev. DR.. David Steele, rector Of the
fashionable parish Of st. Luke's, Philadel-
phia. At the evacuation day exercises at
Valley Forge to-day he got after ideals
about Washington.
DR.. Steele was the principal speaker at
the dedication for Pennsylvania Day
of the Cloister of the Colonies erected in
connection with the chapel to the memory
of Washington as the ideal churchman OF
the Colonial period. Bishop Whitaker,
a score of Episcopalian clergy and several
hundred lay members Of the Church were
Jared by DR.. Steele's assertions.
The speaker admitted that, considered
compositely, Washington was an ideal
country gentleman, but he could not be
analysed because he was not a churchman,
for ne would rather follow the hounds on
Sunday han sit in church; he was not an
ideal soldier, for, though Commander-in-
Chief of the American army, q battle was
never won by his command. His states
manship, it was asserted, was not beyond
question.
