MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourlshed on Grape.Nuts

The value Of this famous food ia
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
zeal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these c.
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more Of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came I did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said could not nurse the baby
as did not have nourishment for her,
besides I was too weak.
He said l might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and I.
MY baby Is now four months old,
Is in fine condition, 1 am nursing her

President G. Stanley Hall, in an ar
ticle in the American Magazine, gives
American fathers something to think
about. Writing of ''the awkward age"
OF the boy, he says that in the period
between twelve and sixteen the boy
grows away from his mother, and needs
the wise, guiding hand of the father.
The father then has great opportunity
to mold the boys flexible, undeveloped
character. Doctor Hall thinks the
American father is not doing this, but
shifts the responsibility to school teach
ers and others. The proper bringing
up of the boy is the finest work a man
can do for himself and the state. and
President Halls comments probe the
underplnnings of home and nation.

A great portion of the public domain,
is poor land, worthless for farming pur-
poses but, on the other hand there are
large deposits Of coal, oil Ald other
minerals of immense value and vast
forests that will furnish tin lber for gen.
erations to come. Naturally, such
states as Montana, Idaho and Nevada
look upon the public lands in their bor-
ders as the possession Of their citizens.
They are anxious to have the tracts
divided and given to settlers, so that
the population may be increased and
the resources of the states developed.
But the public 'Ands are peculiarly the
possession of the nation and must be
safeguarded rs an important national
asset. The IT, ae is past when they may
be given to settlers by the thousand
acres, fenced in by cattle kings and ap-
propriated by railroads. Stricter land
laws and strict reinforcement of them
are evidences of the governments in
tcntion to protect it's lands and hold
them In the interest of all the people.

The Prayer of Cyrus Brown.

THE proper way for man to pray"
Said Deacon Samuel Keyes,
"And the only proper attitude
Is down upon his knees"
"No, l should say the way to pray"
Said the Rev. DIR. Wise,
'Is standing straight, with outstretched
arms,
And rapt and upturned eyes"
"Oh, no! no, no." said Elder Slow,
'Such posture is too proud
A man should pray with eyes fast closed
And head contritely bowed
"It seems to me his hands should be
Austerely clasped in front,
With both thumbs pointing toward IT,

Said the Rev. DIR. Blunt.

In the old times the thirsty soul--or
body-solaced itself with plain water
or with lemonade. The chief variation
upon this was iced tea and once in
while iced coffee. These were the only
beverages open to the drinker of tenn
perance habits. We have improved
upon that sort of thing and have in
troduced soft punches, in which our
old friend, lemonade, while still serv-
ing as a foundation, would not recOg-
nize itself Tea, too, is metamorphos-
ed, although hardly improved, and
other mixtures of which we did not
dream in earlier days are taken as a
matter of course. The house where the
pleasantest welcome and the best and
most refreshing thirst-quenchings are
offered Is likely to be the one to which
the young people will flock, and we
need not fear that our boys and girls
will wander off to undesirable associa-
tions while they know that good things,
both spiritual and physical, await them
at home. None of the drinks given be-
low contains liquor of any sort.
Iced Tea Punch.
Make iced tea and turn it into a
punch bowl, on big lump Of ice. Add
to quart of the strong tea table
spoonful of lemon juice, bottle Of
apollinaris water and sugar to taste.
Cut thin slices of lemon and let them
float on the surface Of the punch.
When they are in season few straw
berries or cherries or bit Of pine
apple may be added. Ladle out and
drink in tumblers.

Do you develop your strength, in.
crease your reasoning power, your will
power, your power of initiative? Do
you not only elevate yourself and hold
yourself up, but also have strength to
help others? Are you litter? Or
do you, like the senseless lobster, re-
main high and dry on the sand or
among the rocks, waiting for someone
to carry you to the sea, or for the sea
to come to you, when by your own
native energy you should boldly plunge
In and ride the waves triumphantly?
Do you, in considering every undertake
Ing, look hesitatingy to the right or
left for some advice, some support,
some prop to lean on? 1t has been
said that for every sef-made man there
are ten self-ruined ones 1t Is a safe
guess that nine of the ten are leaners.
The ranks of mediocrity-of the half
successful-are crowded with people of
fine natural abilities who never rise
above inferior stations because they
never act independently. They are
afraid to take the initiative in anything
to depend upon their own judgment
and resources-and so let opportunity
after opportunity pass them by. They
make fine plans, but leave them to be
carried out by others; and then their
only consolation is In saying: "I
thought Of it first" Half hundred
claim to have been the first to invent
the railway airbrake. Only one haG
the nerve to demonstrate it's practl
cability. Thousands talked about an
Atlantic cable, until one came forward
and laid 1t. He lost big fortune by
failing at first, but made a bigger one
by succeeding at last. In every walk
OF life are earnest, conscientious peo-
pie who are disappointed that they do
not get on better and who wax eloquent
over the injustice that confines them
to inferior grades, while others with
no more natural ability are constantly
advanced over their heads. Analyze
these people and you find their real
trouble lies in their lack of independ-
ent action. They dare not make the
slightest move without help or advice
from some outside source They lack
confidence in themselves. They do not
trust their own powers. They have
never learned to stand squarely on
their own feet, think their own
thoughts and make their own decisions.
The price that must be paid for this
shifting of responsibility is a heavy
one-the loss of kingdom. We volun-
tarily abdicate the throne of personal
ity, resign the priceless privilege con-
ferred upon every human being in THIS
civilized land-the right to think sld
speak and decide and act for himself
