Excellent Advice Which Our Readers
Will Benefit BY.

Now is the time to get the rheu-
matte poisons and foul acids from the
blood and system, states an eminent
authority, who says that Rheumatism
and Kidney trouble are caused by the
blood, which often becomes sour from
excessive acids, and also tells what to
do to make it pure and healthy.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Mix by shaking in a
bottle and take a teaspoonful after
meals and at bedtime.
Just try this simple blood cleaner
and tonic at the first sign of Rheu-
matism, or if your back aches or you
feel that the Kidneys are not acting
right. Any one can easily prepare
this mixture at home.

ual substance-must then be laid
bare as the instrument Of self-con-
seriousness, and of expression and
usefulness to others.
Life, as we know it, is a constan,
resurrection. "The tomb of the past
is the womb of the future" All ma.
ture is constantly dying, the tissues
of the earthly body are constantly
dying, life is continual triumph over
this universal death, and progress is
made possible only by this process Of
resurrection. The Immortality an
progress of the human soul and Of
human society consist thus in the
Creators triumph over death.
Easter is a memorial of all this
triumph of life over death, not only
in nature, but also in humanity. The
germ of life in every human breast is
thus raised up when the body returns
to the dust. All that has been elabor-
ated within that material husk-all
the love of right or wrong, of truth
or falsity, of wisdom or folly, of USE
fulness or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Triumph of
Life Over Death
BY Rev. Henry Clinton Hay.

@HE resurrection means that
Ill his earthly body. That the
" man lives on after the death Of
earthly body dies is a matter of
universal observation and experience;
but that the man himself ceases on
that account to love and think, plan
and execute, in the world of love and
wisdom and spiritual expression, is
an inference without the slightest
warrant from observation of expert
ence.
The most that can be said is that
he no longer appears to the senses of
earthly bodies when his own earthly
body is lost as means of earthly ex-
preston. But that there is an in
dwelling love-and- Thought world, con-
stantly animating, shaping and en-
ploying matter and giving to it it's
values, is manifest in every human
experience. That man comes forth
from this inner world, not only in the
beginning of his existence, but in
every act of his intellect, will and
body, we know.
1t is therefore reasonable to con-
clude that he continues to exist in it
when the body returns to the dust

BUTTON THEIR OWN WAISTS.
New York Women Have Surmounted
Great Obstacle.

Marvellous as it may seem, New
York women have lately discovered a
way of fastening their waists up the
back without calling for assistance.
Thought not lacking in generosity, they
became so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that they
now feel that it is time to guard their
pockets. The Gotham woman discov-
cred that If she put her blouse on
hind side before, with the sleeves
hanging free, it could be fastened
from top to bottom, with the excep-
ton of the hooks at the neck, and
then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without I'M
duly straining the fastenings. So sim
pie! So strange that no one had
thought of it before. Or is it possible
other women have used the plan and
meanly kept 1t to themselves? VIII

now have q new lease of life?

For many years l was a constant
sufferer from indigestion and nervous
ness amounting almost to prostration,"
writes Montana man.
'My blood was impoverished, the

moving spots before my eyes. This
was steady daily condition. I grew

nervous I could not keep my books
posted, nor handle accounts satisfac-
torily. can't describe my sufferings.
Nothing I ate agreed with me, till
one day I happened to notice Grape
Nuts in a grocery store and bought
a package, out of curiosity to know
what it was.
II liked the food from the very first,
eating it with cream, and now buy
It by the case and use it daily. I
soon found that Grape-Nuts food was
supplying brain and nerve force as
nothing in the drug line ever had done
or could do.
ct wasn't long before I was re-
stored to health, comfort and happi-
ness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts
food my digestion had been restored,
my nerves are steady once more, my
eyesight is good again, my mental fac
ulties are clear aad acute, and have
become so good-aatured that my
friends are truly astonished at the
change. I feel younger and better

doubt-into the sleeping house, on
Easter even, and lay its beautifully
colored eggs In all sorts of odd places.
When the myth reached America,
the hare was transformed into the
better-known rabbit; the change due,
perhaps, as writer naively suggests,
to the fact that confectioners are not
experts in natural history"
There are some superstitions con,
nected with Easter that it would be
wise for the reader to treasure in his
mind, so important are they in their
bearing upin his health and happi.

If the wind is in the east on Easter
morning, draw water and wash in it,
to avoid the i'll effects of an east wind
throughout the year. The efficacy of
the Easter water cure is so we'll

berg maid servants spread out linen
clothes in the yard, the evening be-
fore, and Easter morning wash them
selves with dew, rain or snow fallen
in the linen, while in Sachsenburg
the peasants ride their horses into
the water to ward off sickness from
the poor beasts.

MAN OF DELICATE NERVES.

Rosenthal, the pianist, Is one OF
those entitled to have his crankiness
termed "the eccentricities of genius"
says the San Francisco Chronicle
When he inspected his rooms at the
Majestic upon his arrival very late the
other night, he went softly to the ad-
joining doors, and placing his ears
close to the cracks, exclaimed in
broken English, "Zgodd, no sounds
pass thees." After nodding his ap-
prevail of the grand piano and the fur
niture he frowned at the tan-colored
window shades. Must be green" He
was assured that change would be
made especially for him the next day.
At five o'clock in the morning Ros-
enthal, clad only in his pajamas, came
scurrying excitedly down stairs and
into the Office, where the drowsy
night clerk was nodding at the desk.
"Ze street cars! Noise! Must

the Bristol museum, there is Ger
man print representing three hens up
holding basket with three eggs
bearing the emblems Faith, Hope and
Charity, with this legend in German:
Cali good things are three.
Therefore I present you three Easter

Faith to the church; Hope in God
And love Him to thy DEATH"
In Russia, Easter eggs are ex-
changed even by the dear dignified
grown-ups. Easter morning, a man
goes to his friends house and greets
him with: "Jesus Christ is risen"
The friend answers: Eyes, He is
risen indeed" Then they kiss eacn
other on both cheeks, exchange eggs,
and drink brandy.
Of course, everyone knows that the
Easter sun, the world over, dances in
the heavens if sleepy-heads will only
get up early enough to see it. In some
places in Ireland, there is great
clapping of hands at midnight, Easter
even, happy laughter; and the cry:
"Out with Lent" Then all is mer-
riment for little while, until the
members of the tired household go
to bed-only to rise at four o'clock
that they may see the sun dance. In
Scotland, the sun whirls like a wind
mill and then gives three leaps.
One of the prettiest traditions is
that of the Easter hare. The hare has
long been the symbol of the moon.

night. The female carries her young

~ In the shop windows, an open
~ ing of delicate fabrics sprigged
with flowers that might make
nature envious; of airy, fairy hats,
itrimmed in stolen bits of rainbow; of
irresistible sugar eggs, chocolate rab-
bits and yellow-down chickabiddies.
In the fields, an opening of leaf and
blossom and a meadow lark's song.
In the churches, an opening of tomb
and an angel of life in place of the
dead. The opening of human hearts
in love toward God, man, and the lit
tie sparrow; the opening of hands
outstretched to the unfortunate and
the SHINING. 1t is Eastertide.
While the resurrection from the
dead is the pivotal belief upon which
the whole Christian faith turns, the
word Easter is of pagan origin, Eastre
being the Saxon name of an old Teu-
tonic goddess who was the persona
fication of morning and spring. Like
wise, in many of our Easter observ-
ances Christianity has laid it's i'm
press upon old pagan myths and GUS
toms-the joy in the new spring life
that leaped so high a flame in the
bonfires upon the hillsides now stead
lily cleaning in altar taper, and spring
flowers once faily gathered for out
door festival song and dance now
reverently crowding the churches.
Our own earliest recollections of
Easter are flashing memories of those
first Easter eggs-red, yellow and
glorious royal purple-that rolled out
of fairyland into everyday life to
mystify our wondering eyes with their
strange beauty. And by happy coin
cidence, the egg is the oldest of the
symbols connected with Easter. In
fact, If 1t were an aspirant for mem.
bership in some glass-case society of
antique superstitions it could trace
ats geneaology back to ancient Persia
and Egypt. The Persians, looking
upon their new year-which comes
on the 18th of March-as the renewal
of all things, celebrated the festival
by exchanging colored eggs. The
Egyptians considered an egg a sacred
emblem of the renovation of mankind
after the Deluge. From them, the
Jews adopted it for sign and SYM
boil, it now becoming the triumphant
type of their departure from Egypt
and intimately associated with the
feast Of the Passover, eggs always
being on the table with the paschal
lamb. The Christians, loving the dear
old family traditions, naturally gave
the egg place of honor in the cele-
bration of the paschal lamb, the
Easter egg being a most fit emblem
of the Resurrection, "the rising up
out the grave, in the same manner as
the chick, entombed, as it were, in
the egg, is in due time brought to
life."
The pretty custom of hunting for
Easter eggs originated in Germany,
where the eggs were hidden In the
