ANSWERING SINCERELY.

From q correspondent, -. evidently
very much In earnest and apparent
ly writing under stress OF some ex'
citement, we have an inquiry as
between tobacco and liquor which
We would advise boy to adopt as
. habit. .,@s
The answer Is very easy.
WI would not advise boy to
adopt either. We do very earnest
" advise every boy and young man
who will do - the honor TO listen
to US, to adopt neither and to shun
both. As q matter of cold. CONNER
cial calculation and putting aside
entirely the moral aspects. We esti-
mate that the man who reaches the
age Of twenty-five entirely free OF
both the liquor and tobacco habits,
or tastes, and with absolute avoid
ance Of 10th \ fixed principle OF his
life has . capital werth easily a
m!llien dollars In cash. We think
this ia a conservative estimate and
that any practical business man.
even though he be q victim Of both
indulgenccs. will confirm the esti-
mate.
Going further. We would say that
the man Of twenty-five free from hQ-
uor. tobacco. gambling. profanity and
obscenity in thought and couver.'at-
ION has In his own naked person a
capital of the actual value Of two nit
lion dollars without . cent Of actual
money. OF course he will save mon
cy. even from the scantiest wages
and will save and put away dollars
where his less fortunate associates
would save cents. That. however.

established q strength Of character

ployer and to society generally. He

the careful mother will at first make

A GOOD COLD.
CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion
Il had been troubled with it fol-
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc
tions and now l am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts
we use four packages a week. YOU
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that IL
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be nc
dyspepsia. for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

NO, Id rather talk to you alone

'Limuel, l thank you for this long
sought opportunity. Come"
They went out into the woods and
sat down on log. A gray squirrel
peeped at them. "Limuel, is it about
my sermon that you wish to talk?"
YES" said the old man, cutting of
n chew of his twist.
Il am glad that 1t struck home"
"Ah, hah. Glad, l reckon, that it
scared that little girl. Wait mo-
ment. l have listened to you, so now
you listen to me a while" He slowly
wiped his knife on his trousers,
snapped it and put it into his pocket
"As l sat in yonder just now. brother
could hardly believe that l want
away back where the world was when
l found it-just ripe for destruction.
The first picture that was drawed for
me was of little children in torment,
and went to bed and cried nearly all
night because felt that nothin' was
of any use. My poor mother was
scared and my father was afraid to
say much. for there was the preacher
ready to snatch away any encourage
ment. We had all of us been con-
demned from the first and unless We
did an impossible task there was no
hope. But as l grew older the world
appeared to get better. The rocks in
the graveyards said that the dead
folks were all right. Humanity had
done away with imprisonment for
debt. The slave ships were all sunk.
People Were better fed and better
clothed. Books filled up the empty
shelves in the country. Newspapers
with their white wings flew every
where. And all this time hell was a
coolin' off. 1t seemed to me that it
was almost ready for irrigation till
you turned loose to-day. What made
you do It? Don't answer me now
! jest let me talk-but what made you
do it? Don't you know that God is
gettin so good that some of the
churches have to meet every once in

you know that after all it is love
and not fear that moves this old
world? You sing: Oh for a closer

destroyer instead of a builder. You
would take away the softness and
the holy sweetness of the Saviour,

You would have the people read it
with frightened eyes, and / want to
| tell you that when a mans scared he
can't learn anything to speak of. The
people are growin' all the time. and
so is the church, but some of you
preachers want to pull back. Do you
know why all over the country there
is a disposition to put out the old
preachers and to take in the new
ones? 1t is because the young men
are more liberal They are not so set
in creed and therefore they are kind

THOUGHT 1T NATIONAL TRAIT.
Driver Couldn't Understand American
Not Being in Hurry.

A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem. he succeeded
in hiring a conveyance to carry him
to the station. By speech and gesture
he informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in a leisurely,
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares of Jana, and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at a furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones of the notoriously rough streets
of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus
lily employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found
that he still had two hours to wait.
why in the world" he demanded.
Indignantly, did you ever hurry like
that?"

driver. with an expressive shrug. "All
