wheat that had slumbered for more
than three thousand years in an Egyp-
tian tomb. As looked at them this
thought came into my mind: II one
of those grains had been planted on
the banks Of the Nile the year after 1t
grew and all it's lineal descendants
planted and replanted from tina. time
until now. its progeny would today be
sufficiently numerous to feed the teem-
ing millions of the world. If this in
visible germ Of life in the grain Of
wheat can thus pass unimpaired thru
three thousand resurrections, shall
not doubt that my soul has power to
clothe itself with a body suited to its
new existence when this earthly frame
has crumbled into dust.
"A belief in Immortality not only con.
soles the individual, but it exerts a
powerful influence in bringing. peace
between individuals. If one really
thinks that a man dies as the brute
dies. he may yield to the temptation
to do injustice to his neighoor when
the circumstances are such as to
promise security from detection. But
IL one really expects to meet again and
live eternally with those whom he
knows today he is restrained from evil
deeds by the fear of endless .remorse.

NIGHT NURSE
Kept In Perfect Trim By Right Food.

Nursing the sick is often very burden- some to the nurse.
 Night nursing is liable to be even more exhausting from the fact that the demands of the system for sleep are more urgent during the night hours.
 A Va. lady called on to act as night nurse in the family, found the greatest support from the use of Grape Nuts food She says:
 Our acquaintance with Grape Nuts be- gan eight years ago. We bought the first package sold in this place, and al- though we began as skeptics We became converts to it's striking food value.
 'T used Grape-Nuts first to sustain me when doing night nursing for a member of the family. I ate a teaspoonful at a time and by slowly chewing it I was able to keep awake and felt no fatigue.
 "Soon I grew to like Grape-Nuts very much and after our patient recovered was surprised to find that I was not at all worn out on account of broken rest My nerves were strong and steady and my digestion fine. This was the more sur prising because I had always suffered with weak nerves and indigestion My experience was so satisfactory that other members of the family took up Grape Nuts with like results There's a Rea- son.

SPECTACULAR DISPLAY
 MADE BY THE FLAMES

Unable to see the steady fight being made on the Third avenue front at the big fire last night, the crowds lining the sidewalk on Twentieth street were im- patiently stamping their feet, and fearing that the flames, mounting in rings and clouds breathing ruin and beauty and destruction, would hold their sway un- til the whole block might be gone.
 Suddenly, when the glare was becoming all too bright. the head of a fireman ap- peared above the tin roofs which stretched out in the light of the flames and the people on the staircase in Second alley were treated to all the beauties of action which were ever mingled in the eolors of a fire scene on canvas.
 Above the little men who appeared one and then two-the rolling mass of light seemed an unfettered giant. Then they pulled their hose slowly after them and began to traverse the hot roof Turn ing on the water when half way across,
