CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis.
comforts of mind and body are cer-
tain to follow continued use of impro.
per food.
Those who are still young and no.
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food finally cause
loss 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 wom-.
an writes her experience thus:
Some time ago | had lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. | got so | was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and med-
cines seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising 1t highly, and as
a last resort tried 1t. | am thank
full to say that Grape-Nuts not only
relieved me of my trouble, but built
me up and strengthened my digestive
organs so that | can now eat anything
| desire. But stick to Grape-Nuts
There's Reason"

DR.. Frank Cranes Epigrams.

The truest prayers are simple ST.
lence. To feel God is to pray.
Prayer is the orientation of life;
finding God, as sailors find star.
Littleness Is self-hood; greatness
consists in being vessel for the in
finite.
Our sole disease is impotence. No
man ever had enough vitality, enough
passion Our passion trails its flower
in the slime, not because it grows too
strong, but because 1t has not enough
vigor to raise it's bloom toward Heav-
en-.
Love knows no crime. but too lit
tie love. 1t is the dull razor that
cuts. The sickly rose plants are they
that are attacked by vcrmin.
Impurity comes from morbid
love; when love strikes its tap root
down into the infinite it purifies it.
self.-"even as He Is pure"
Half dead souls secrete poison;
hardy, sunlit, out-of door souls make
honey.
Our eyes are adulteries, envies
and such like, because there is a
worm in the core of our souls.
My hand is lame when my soul Is
dry.
Work is a sort Of substitute for
play and law is substitute for life;
for with children it is all play and
in Christ there is no law.
There are two kinds of law; as
gravitation and statute: the latter
was Moses kind, the former Jesus.

Dog Police In England.

The police authorities in England
have at last decided to follow In
some degree the custom of the con-
tinent and recognize bloodhounds as
a permanent agent in the detection
of crime.
Maj. Richardson, who has for
years been breeding-wholly with a
view to perfection Of scent-cross-
bred bloodhounds, received formal
notice that his dogs are to be re-
tanned by the Hertfordshire police.
Maj. Richardson will keep the dogs
and train them, but they will be sent
by the Hertfordshire authorities on
the occurrence of any crime in the
detection of which they may be use
full.
A great number of the other coun-
ty authorities are discussing the en-
ployment of dogs, and the idea has
particularly appealed to those in
Scotland. 1t is probable that in a
short time this special breed dogs
whose heredity is as yet secret
will be generally recognized as an
arm of the detective service, as in
Berlin, where motor car, specially
built for carrying dozen or more
bloohounds, is kept always in readi-
ness.
Some of Maj. Richardson's hounds
have already done service in Tur-
key in behalf of the Sultan, and the
Paris authorities, who have just i'm
ported some pups, find the dogs much
more faithful to a scent than any
variety yet produced.-London Daily
Mail.

WISE WORDS.

A woman is never happy until she
learns the things that make her mis-
cradle.
Loves young dream is one of the
sweet things in this world that soon
turns sour.
Even the girls find the Merry
Widow hat a hard lid to keep down.
A woman is guided by intuition
because she finds 1t easier than to
use reason or judgment.
When man thinks a widows
weeds are becoming to her he tries
to induce her to change them.
What lot of happy marriages
there would be If fellows wife was
as good to him as his mother was!
During courtship man tells the
old, old story; after he is married he
confines himself to the fairy story.
A girl feels consoled for breaking
q mans heart by the knowledge that
he will soon be making love to an
other girl.
The average woman is content not
to wear trousers as soon as she finds
out that they don't cost as much as
dresses.
We are but children of larger
growth, and Fate, fat old world nurse,
dares not turn loose our apron
strings.
Let me not misjudge my friend.
What I think is his conceit may after
all be only his consciousness of
power"
Help us to remember that greater
than any church or creed is kindness.
No girl ever sees good looking
young man without speculatively
wondering whose sweetheart he is
A love letter from the right person
is worth all the literature in the
world when it comes to heart interest
The willy fiatterer still stands head
and shoulders above the one who is
too full of mean suspicious to be
fattered.
The one whom my soul loveth ]
sent away starved for word of en-.
dearment, and I set feast before
dirty beggar whose need was only
food that any one might have given
him.
What's become of the old fashioned
girl whose mother used to make her
do the family's mending? ."She and
her grandmother have gone off on
strike together" comes the echo
From Ewes Epigrams," in the New
York Telegram.

COstliest Railroad In America.

Regarded by engineers as mar
vel of construction is the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle Railway, 1923
miles, the most direct line between
Spokane and Portland, which will
be completed January 1, 1909. The
road, built jointly by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys-
TENS, Is the most expensive in Amer
lea.
The line will permit of longer
trains being hauled over it than any
other road in the country. There
are no sharp curvatures, the greatest
being degrees, and as result one
locomotive can pull from Spokane
to Portland as many cars as it can
start on level ground. This is ex-
pected to set new records for heavy
loading.
Twenty miles of line between Pas
co and Kahlotus cost $5,000,000, or
$25O,0OO a mile, while mile of
road along the bluffs overhanging
Snake River involved an expenditure
of 100000. To survey and build
this part of the line. which follows
the Columbia River, men were sus-
pended over the cliffs with ropes; ;
but while there were many narrow
escapes, not life was lost, nor was
any one seriously injured.-Ncw

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
client combination Of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Only sucn a Spirit can see God truly
or life wholly. Only heart vision 10
clear vision. Hence the prayer OF the
text, that the eyes of the heart may
be enlightened. 1t was with the eyes
of the heart that the father saw the
prodigal afar off. It follows, then,
since knowledge of God involves
and conditions mans wisdom and
spiritual understanding, and Is essen,
tial to Wilderness of vision, that the
very sanity of our views of life Ia
wrapped up in our conception of God.
In the knowledge of Him all other
knowledge has Its beginning and in
depreciation. :,
Three great corollaries are involved
in the knowledge of God for which
Paul prays: /. If God be the trans
cendent and immanent God Of his
experience, and II men come to know
Him as such, the call of God to saliva
ton and holiness Is a perfect guaran-
tee of His loving interest, and suf-
ficient reason for unfailing hope. In
the knowledge of God, the child of
God perceives the hope of his calling.
2. The riches of Gods glory Is In His
saints, His inheritance, and the peo-
pie of His possession. The nature
and work Of God display His valua-
ton of redeemed race. The saints
are His cherished possession. 8. To
know God as Paul knew Him in
Christ Jesus Is to see the very forces
at work which God relies upon to save
the world, and to apprehend the
greatness of His power toward us who
believe. To know God is to under
stand that all power in Heaven and
in earth is at His disposal and that
it is pledged to supply all the needs of
His children.
Both the other subjects for which
Paul prays are impossible without
this knowledge of God; with 1t, they
are possible and almost assured. The
perfect walk and the perfect work
would seem to be the normal out
growth of such spiritual understand
ing. To know Him and Jesus Christ
whom He hath sent, Is, and must ever
be, life eternal.
