STRONG AS A MULE
Farmer Gets Power From Food.

Anyone can better his condition, if
eating improper food, by changing to
the right kind.
It is becoming well known among all
classes of people in this country, that
strength of mind and body come from
the nourishment that is taken into the
system in the form of food.

Il was raised on a cow ranch, lived
like the rest on beef and potatoes, often
eating too much, until my stomach
became so weak and / was SO run down

"Then l tried farming but did not get
any better. My nerves were all un-
strung and 1 could not sleep at night.
A year ago I saw an ad. about Grape
Nuts being such a wonderful food, and
told my wife I was going to try it.

and by the time I had used this food
two weeks. the weakness began to leave
my stomach.
Now 1 weigh 1s4 lbs, and am as
strong as a mule. We eat Grape-Nuts

CRuCIFIED

To-day the sun is darkened.
The earth is rent in twain.
Because upon dark Calvary
The Lamb Of God is slain.
He hung upon that cruel cross.
He suffered bled and died:
He gave His life a sacrifice.
And He was crucihed.
The soldiers stood about Him.
They scoffed Him, one and all:
Upon His head they placed the thorns,
They made Him drink the gall.
Into His hands they drove the nails;
They gashed His sacred side,
He murmured not-He bowed His head,
And He was crucihed.
With one appealing look to Heaven
In mortal agony,
He cried aloud unto His God.
Hast Thou forsaken Meg'
Then He yielded up His spirit
Unto His God and died:
The sacrifice was then complete,
And Christ. was crucified.

Grover Cleveland was the 1irss
American OF his generation.
The position he finally reached IN
the opinion OF his countrymcn was
not won by brilliant attainments.
through extraordinary intellectual
power or by acts that dazSled the
mind. But in the clear discernment OF
what was needed to be done, the direct
simplicity with which he went about
doing IL. the unshakable courage that
resisted alike temptation and threat,
men came to know that here was one
Of whose strength and wisdom they
might be sure.
These are not the qualities that bring
Immediate popularity: they anger the
unwise. check the partisan! disappoint
the opposition. And the caSlumny and
the enmtty OF these different classes
Grover Cleveland had to endure But
such qualities do bring trust, power
for good and LASTING fame. 1t was
recognized in the end that what Mr..
Cleveland wanted was what the coun-
try needed; and IL possible that thing
would be done.
When he retired from office 1T was
seen how faithfully and wisely he had
served his party and the nation. To
him was honor given; from him was
counsel and help sought.
And now when he is dead the sorrow
of a neonIa who remember a that he
did. ali that he strove for and repre-
sented in American public life, is his
tribute.

maintain their strength by a wise obe-
d!ence to experience The reason that
SO many British died in India was be-
cause they tried TO drink alcohol and

EQUALIZATION OF orponruN1rY

EQUALIZATION OF OPPORTUNITY.
In recent address before the bust
ness men of Norwich. the Hon w r.
Wilcox, chairman of New York City
Public Service Commission, called at
tention to the increasing concentration
of wealth in a few hands, with it's
consequent harmful effects on the
whole body OF citizens. Nowhere has
the accumulation Of land been carried
to such an extent as in Great Britain,
where s2,o1o,721 acres are held by
402,1 1873 persons on lease or as owners
Less than one-fourth of the population
of Great Britain own any property at
all. while less than 1 1-2 per cent own
property valued at $4,000 or more. In
the United States, with thephighest per
capita of wealth in the world, matters
are better, as nearly so per cent of.
the people own the real estate they
occupy, and l3 1-e per cent. OF the
families own $4,000 in property.
Though the property Of Great Britain
is. In fewer hands than in any other
country OF Europe, yet what has hap
pened there may happen here if the
danger is not perceived and struggled
against. Mr. Wilcox was thoroughly
justified in calling to the attention Of
his hearers the saying of De Tocque-
VILE, that the greatest danger Of this
country was plutocracy, govern
,ment by amassed wealth. and sub
lection of all governmental ideals and
objects to the protection and upbuild-
ing of wealth It is this instructive
opposition of plutocracy that made the
public give such eager attention to
President Roosevelt's Characterization
OF the predatory rich and male
factors OF great wealth." Not that
wealth is in itself aught else than a
blessing, but rather because the heart
of the people felt that freedom and
| government We're worth more than
even railroads or whcatfields. Old
party lines are badly blurred and some
! old party cries have lost their power
| but If the Democratic party will rise to
the occasion and crystalline all this
| public unrest under the one demand
for the characterization of opportunity
it Will find its old -time strength and
