 Mamma, what does 'hallelujah' mean?"
 As simply as she could his mother explained that it was religious ex- clamation meaning praise the Lord. ;
 He seemed rather surprised at the information, but his next question of fered ample explanation of why he had thrown so much vigor into his singing. If that's what it means" he said. why do they throw corn and have jack lanterns on hallelujah night?"

Disease Cured by cuticura.

My six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by play ing with children who had it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We employed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried several reme- dies but without avail. Seeing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought would try them. I gave her hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment re- lieved the itching and in a short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich, June 30 and July 13, 1908"

Piecinq Out the Prayer,

Of curious prayers writer says: T have heard layman utter this petition during the prayer: o, Lord, be thou with us in our upsittings an our down risings'-a variant of the text in the psalms. Thou knowest my downsit- tings and mine uprisings.' A minister occasionally introduced Latin sen tence into his prayer, and forthwith proceeded to translate it. Another min ister in his early days experienced con- siderable difficulty with the long prayer before the sermon. In nonconformist churches this usually occupies a quar- ter of an hour, but long before this pe- riod had been reached he was wound up. On one occasion, while in this di- lemma, he startled his hearers with the words: And now, o Lord, 1 will re late unto thee a little anecdote!'

LESS MEAT Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee essary for strength and muscular vigor
 The man who worked hard was SUD- posed to require meat two or three times day. Science has found out differently.
 It is now a common thing for fam fly physician to order less meat, as in the following letter from a N. Y. man.
 T had suffered for years with dys- pepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc, but got no relief until I tried Grape Nuts food.
 After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, I am now we'll man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the s50000 worth of medicine I had taken before.
 My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are very happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts.
 We have been so much benefited by Grape-Nuts that it would be un- grateful not to acknowledge it.''

Accidentally Severed Jugular Held in

FiaCe Witn Alum ana Oou9n.
 Mammoth Spring.-T. E. Applegate, a citizen residing about five miles west of this place, stumbled and fell across the blade of his double-bit axe cutting his throat and severing the left external jugular vein.
 With wonderful presence of mind his wife filled the wound with pow dered alum and later with wheat dough, making a substitute for a plaster cast over the gash, which firm ly held it until physician could be secured from the city. Instead of the physician finding the man dead upon his arrival he was still conscious, and although nearly exhausted from the enormous amount of blood lost in the time required for the physician to arrive, he withstood the removal of the temporary remedy applied by his wife and the operation of the physi- clan and is still living.

To Complete Large Contract.

Argenta.-Work on the Argenta sewer system, which was suspended last year, will be resumed this week by the contractor. The suspension was owing to the strike at the Iron Mountain shops and the subsequent shutdown following the financial fur ry, which joint causes made the city officials apprehensive of crippled finances. Now that normal times have returned work will be resumed on the $100,000 contract.
 Five miles, or one-fourth of the work, has been completed. It will take four or five months to finish the remaining 15 miles of mains and laterals.
