MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt q vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat
On the other hand. too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
etc, produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food. frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Star>hy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food ''Grape-Nuts.' where
the starch is changed into a form of
sugar during the process of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented To the system in a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly N physlcal and
mental strength. Why in mental? :?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains. and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the BRAIN
This is scientific fact that can be

Three tired citizens-a lawyer, a

a back room recently in the gray light
of the early dawn. On the table were
many empty bottles and a couple of
packs of cards. AS they sat in silence
a rat scurried across the hearth into
the darkness beyond. The three men
shifted their feet and looked at each
other uneasily. After a long pause the
lawyer spoke:

Comment is often made on the SUI
premacy of the Jewish element in the
theatrical field. Miss Ellen Terry puts
her finger on the secret of it in her
comments on DisraeH. She expresses
a liking for his novels because Of
their color, their pageantry, and then
says: "DisraeH was a heaven-born art
ist. who, like so many of his race on
the stage, in music and elsewhere,
seems to have an unerring instinct for
the things which the gentle only ac-
quires by labor and training" In
other words it is not the commercial
sense alone, as so many assume, that
makes Jews succeed in this field, but
the instinct she speaks of for what

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its. new paid
business during the half year just end
cd was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit The New
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how TO
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er- than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21,660,761 It is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,1SO,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
itie0l trust fund instalIments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$1O,48O, 135. Modern life insurance, as
practlced by the best companies, en-
braces wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.

by saying that each failure or each loss
shows the crook some point of which
he has been ignorant, and it is easy for
him to convince himself that next time
he will avoid that mistake and be sue
cessful. When he fails and is arrested
the law shows him just where he

Limited pulled out of the depot, with
eight cars packed with human freight,
the beauty and gallantry of the city
being well represented. The Hawaiian
band, occupying a coach by itself, en-
livened the twenty-five minutes ride
with mirthful melodies.

grounds, there was an immediate rush

colored electric lights beamed glad
welcome from crystal globes and flags
of all nations futtered cosmopolitan
invitation. DISCRIMINATING from the
train, the band took up a position

pavilion and quintet club occupied a
