MAKING SUNSHINE
II Is Often Found In Pure Food.

The improper selection of food
drives many healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just SO surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine
once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport,
Mass, says: "In October, was taken
sick and went to bed, losing AZ pounds
in about 60 days. l had doctor after
doctor, food hurt me and / had to live
almost entirely on magnesia and soda.
All solid food distressed me so that
water would run out of my mouth in
little streams.
81 had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said / had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We we're at Old Orchard.
Me-, at that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try it.
~ had no faith in it, but took it to
please her. To my surprise 1t did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before had taken the fifth pack
age was we'll on the mend. The pains
left my head, my mind became clearer
and / gained weight rapidly.
81 went back to my work again and
now after six weeks use of the food
| am better and stronger than ever be-
fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely
saved my life and made me strong

BOYS GRATITUDE WAS REAL.
Has Long Cared for Grave Of Man
Who Had Been Kind to Him
Many Years Ago.

Rev. John Henri sattig, pastor of
St Philips church. Dyker Heights,
Brooklyn, tells this beautiful story:
"In Milford, Pa, there is an old
graveyard, neglected, weed-grown and
unkempt. OF all the mounds in that
village of the dead only one is cared
for. On that the grass is neatly
trimmed flowers bloom and never a
weed appears. The visitor who looks
upon this evidence of love and devo-
ton amid so many examples of for
getfulness usually asks whose grave
it is, and the sexton answers: The
man whose body rests there had
neither chick nor child. Nearly every
day for the six years since the man
died a boy comes here to 'tend to the
grave. Winter and summer he comes.
The lad is the butcher boy. The man
was the only human being who ever
was kind to the boy"

Bellefontaine.- Harley Piper at the
age of 26 is deformed. He has been de-
formed for more than 20 years, and he
will be deformed as long as he lives.
His spine is twisted and his back mis-.
shapen. Piper blames this to the way
that George H. Clayton. now past SO.
picked him up when he was a little
boy. He says that Clayton lifted him
so that he hurt his spine beyond help.
And now, 20 years after Piper is suing
Clayton for the injury. The suit goes

Browns Cottage at Akron, o.

1t. Kansas was the race course. Sons
and sons-in-law soon became involved
There were plenty of them, for John
Brown was twice married, and was the
father often children. 1t was a hard,
uphill fight they waged against great
odds.
While the battle was at its height
border ruffians destroyed the crops Of
John Brown, as we'll as his farm
buildings. One of his number was ruth
lssly murdered, while another went
insane, prisoner in the hands of the
enemy. Immediately Brown aban-
doned his Essex county home, hurry
ing to the rescue of his flock. By him
many pro-slavery forces were routed.
But it was at Osawatomie that John
Brown one August many years ago
scored his greatest victory. There
had been a game fight which will al
ways live in history. For four years
the struggle continued. At its con-
clusion a free state constitution was
adopted for Nebraska at delegate
convention. The state was not admit
ted to the union, however, until the
withdrawal of the southern senators
to engage in the Shareholders rebel
lion of January, 1861.
Many cities and towns in Ohio
Massachusetts and other states con
tributed their share to help free Kan
sas, Nebraska and the contiguous ter
ritory from the curse of slavery. II
cost the lives of 13 of Browns sons
sons-in-laws and supporters. They met
| their deaths at Harper's Ferry.
To the Jeffersonco county Jail al
Charleston Brown and his surviving
followers were taken. AfterwarC
they were indicted for treason and in

| victions followed. Browns execution
| occurred on Friday, December 2, 1859
His body was laid away in the littlt
cemetery at North Elba, after fitting
eulogy had been pronounced by Wen
dell Phillips. Flags were displayed a
Browns execution. Places of business
were closed and church bells wer
tolled. Even special services wer
held in many of the cities of the north

of wheels, rafting of looms, chugging

their first industrial exposition. Many

people thronged the two halls. 1t was
the greatest indoor concourse of peo-

With scarcely an exception. every
exhibit was ready for the opening.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted

rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
10 do anything but scratch and we had
tc wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-

THE BRAVERY OF JOHN BROWN.
Body Of Slavery's Fiercest Foe Lies
Buried In Undecorated


Although many anecdotes and tradi-
tions of John Browns boyhood days
are still fresh in the minds of the pres
ent generation, comparatively few per-
sons know that this unique character
began his interesting career near
Pittsburgh Akron, O.,-where his
memory will remain unhonored this
month, his big anniversary. Nebraska
and Kansas, which owe much to this
American patriot, will also pass over
his memory.
His noted victory at Osawatomie is
still fresh in the minds of many of the
older living residents of this country.

will probably live forever, although
he died by others hands, martyr to
the cause for which he so earnestly
| fought.
Although born in Connecticut, John
| Brown was considered native of
Summit county Ohio. There he con-
| ceived the principles for which he
fought and died a miserable death.
His father, Owen Brown, was of direct
Puritanic descent of the Mayfiower
variety. He was ambitious to have
John become a minister. Poor eye.
sight compelled the son to abandon
his studies. Instead he became a
farmer, with a knowledge of tanning,
following the occupation Of the elder
Brown. Still later he developed a
liking for surveying.
Early in life Brown became a great
lover of cattle and sheep. He was
considered the best judge Of wool in
the United States. At one time be
fore he got into the limelight Brown
was engaged with his father in the
cattle business at Richmond, Pa, Still
later he became the owner of the ia
nous Adirondacks in Essex county
New York. For five years he made {
living there.
1t was in 1854, according to a per
sonal friend, that John Brown started
on the road to fame and ignominiou'
death. Then Senator Stephen A
Douglas of Illinois, with inordinat'
presidential aspirations, introduced {
bill for opening to settlement all ter
ritory north of Texas and west of th'
Missouri river under the name of Ne
braska.
This began the hard-run race be
