WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared7

What comfort to find it is not ''the

indigestion, which proper food can re.
heve.
A woman in Ohio says:
Il was troubled for years with indi-
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times / would have such a gnawing
In my stomach that actually feared
/ had al dislike to write OF even
think Of what l feared.
Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts
l decided to try 1t. After short time
was satisfied the trouble was not
the awful thing feared but was still
bad enough. However, was relieved
OF bad case of dyspepsia by chang
ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. / had also
noticed before began to eat Grape
Nuts that / was becoming forgetful of

A Girls Gjuule.

Samuel Shadwell, touchy old man
living in an Indiana village, had a
pane Of glass broken in his house one
night not long ago and next day he
had ten-year-old girl named Minnie
Dayton arrested for it.
When the case was called in court
he was asked how he knew it was
Minnie. He admitted that he didn't
see her, but heard her giggle. When
asked if her giggle was different from
that Of any other girl he said it was
but he couldn't tell why. Neither
could he initiate the giggle. and he
lost his case.
We all know what girls giggle is,
but If any of us were asked to give an
imitation Of 1t we'd probably fail. A
boy may litter. but when it comes to
giggling only girl can do that.

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement Of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose n
pastor. The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most OF
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was ono
woman OF experience whose voice car.
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit for
trial sermon, and all. in the final
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
THE reason | am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, sis because he
has the right kind OF n wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants ut home and
doesn't sass back. l found out long
while ago-shortly after L was mar
ried myself, in fact--that man who
hasn't that privilege ut home works
Off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear peep out OF him"
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call. According to last .ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.
