Fleeing Out the Prayer.

Of curious prayers writer says: T have heard a layman utter this petition during the prayer Q. Lord. be thou with us in our upsittings an our down risings'-a variant of the text in the psalms. Thou knowest my downsit- ,ings and mine uprisings.' A minister occasionally introduced a 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 pc riod had been reached be was wound up. On one occasion. while in this di- lemma. he startled his hearers with the words: And now. o Lord. I will re late unto thee a little anecdote,'

 Your death will come suddenly, " she said.
 Will it be a railroad collision or hotel fire?" we inquired.

COVERED WITH HIVES.
Child a Mass of Dreadful Sore, Itch ing, Irritating Humor for Months Little Sufferer in Terrible Plight.
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, thought I would try them. I gave her hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment re- lieyed the itching and in short time the disease disappeared. Mrs. George L. Fridhoff, Warren, Mich. June 90 and July 13, 1908"

 These replies deny the affidavits and assertions of the Railroad Commis- sion emphatically and attack the tar if installed by the Railroad Commis- sion and later enjoined by the rail roads as unreasonably low, oppressive. confiscatory and impractical Some of railroads report their revenue for No vember or December. and by compar- ing these with the revenue which would have been derived under the commissions tariff, seek to disprove the allegation of the commission that the rates have been generally raised about 75 per cent

 The man who worked hard was sup posed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found cut differently.
 IL is now a common thing for a fam fly physician 10 order less meat. as in the following letter from Q \. I. 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
 Alter using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years. l am now a we'll man. Grape Nuts benefited my health far more than the s5o0.00 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."
