ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community whiAh has
established a modest footing In Bal.
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the "glory and labors of the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list Of
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days Of
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house in the east end. the Ma
hometan has his mosque. the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees Worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-.
sion In Islington, and in many parts
OF the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform. their
strange rites. Of Christian sects in
London there are at least 800, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples Of VII.
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker: the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes On the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength Of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover although her cloth.
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes Of
fashion. The cut Of a sleeve or the
hang of skirt was settled for Ave
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag"

CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That, He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce Of whisky
three times day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not SO sick, undeniably
drunk.
How did this happen?" the physf-
clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.
"Sure, dochter, an it's just what
you ordered, an no more, that he
had" she protested
i said one ounce Of whisky three
times day, that could not make him
drunk" the physician said. HE has
had much more than that
"Divil drop more, dochter, DEAR"
she declared. Sure an oil didn't
know just how much an ounce was SO

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard In His Own
Particular Way.

One Of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, &C
cording to his daily custom, in the pre-
scription room of drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is sample of his sound, con.
tented philosophy: 'I'll tell you what!

In Praise Of the Pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article
why good New Englanders should
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate it three times
a day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to its place of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was ever known to forage at the
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances.
tors died Of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on pieeating, despite
the fact that the fiat has gone forth
that It Is vulgar to eat pie.

FOOD
FACTS
ROOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
Of Grape-Nuts, but not. in shape that
the system will absorb as large pro-
portion Of, as the body can take up
from one pound Of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
Of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and, by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into form of
sugar, ready for Immediate assimila-
ton. Peoplesin all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says:s'I have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. can
truly recommend 1t to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, etc..
right along, but there was no ten
pounds Of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
IoOQ was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight Of corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection Of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.
