OF TWO EVILS, ETC.
Younaster Evidently Had His Own
Idea as to the Choice.

My neighbor, writes correspondent,
has four young sons, whom he and his
wife duly lead to church every Sun
day. Just as the sermon was about
to begin last Sunday one of the boys
was observed to look very uncomfort
able, and, having explained the nature
of his sufferings, was sent home. His
younger brother, in an urgent whis-
per, demanded of his mother: Where's
Tom gomez
He's gone home"
What for?"
The mother whispered, low: Hes
got toothache"
And the lad, as he sat up to listen to
the preacher, muttered, in a stage
whisper: Lucky dog"

Expert pocket-pickine.

An old lady was accosted in Lon
don street by well-dressed and re-
fned-looking stranger, who effusively
claimed her as a friend Il really
don't believe you remember me-" she
exclaimed, reproachfully, and the old
lady, never doubling that her memory
was at fault, confessed that she could
not quite recall the name. "Ah. but |

a few more lively speeches she passed
on, having possessed herself mean

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear
stone away at last so will the use OF
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
eoss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young WON.
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got SO | was unable to d.
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
last resort ! tried it. | am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieyed me of my trouble, but built me

Manule Is INDISPENSABLE.

A wringing machine in this enlight-
ened age is an indispensable adjunct
TO every household.
Not only does it save coal-for the
washing is done sooner and gives
rest to the wrists, hands and arms of
the tired housekeeper-but the clothes
last twice as long as when wrung by
hand, for the water is pressed out
without the fibers of the material be-
Ing stretched and strained.
Mangles are like wringers. they save
labor and time. Work the mangle
steadily, not too quickly, and not by
fits and starts. Fresh air is vital ne
cessity to every woman, and no con-
venience that will help her to get
through the household more quickly
and easily should be considered too ex'
pensive.

leaving FIVE or six inches of stem
when cutting the lunches These
stems are inserted in large mouthed
bottles of water, the grapes them

Many other prominent legal authori-
