WANTS NO MODERNIZED BIBLE
King James Version the Best OF All,
Says Writer in Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, ''couched
in everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words and
style, which are the best English lit
erature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of a movement to get
us further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style, and in the inter
est of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
ish language has become, it would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.
It Is the greatest treasure house, In
spiration and teacher of good English
that we possess.-Success Magazine.

Remembering Each Other.

away she was drawing pictures in the
sand with a small brown foreflnger.
He noticed her complexion, her curves
and the CLINT of gold in her hair. He
wanted to speak, and yet. Finally
he summoned courage and walked
over to her.
Didn't I talk with you for about
five minutes two summers ago?" he
asked.

Self Opinionated and Stubborn, Yet
With Good Traits, According
to One Writer.

The Frenchman is a gentleman; he
has the finer instinct, the finer train
ing and finer intelligence; wanting
these, the Englishman has to be
taught by the cumbrous methods Of
reward and punishment; he learns
under the whip and becomes more
like a weIl-trained animal than a rea-
sonabIe human being. Yet-such is
the blessedness Of mere habit-even
he ends by doing quite cheerfully
what he learned most unwillingly.
Legality, hard-and-fast rules that must
not be broken and that are interpret
ed in the narrowest spirit, depressing
enough in all conscience although
they be. are to him an enjoyment and
a matter of incessant thought; since
if they circumscribe, they also define
and secure the spaces Of personal lib
erty. They are his substitute for
ideas, and, if they excite no enthus-
iasm and are some of them admit
tedly bad, all the same, he makes it
his glad duty to obey them. Outside
these laws he is intractable and in
clfned to be surly, quarrels with his
neighbors and is as jealous and suspi-
cious of his rights as dog with a
hone. Yet the Englishman is not I'M
happy. He has the happiness of a
perpetual self-complacency. indeed.

times extract enjoyment OF kind out

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more &C
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that Of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
Zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and /
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
The difference in his appearance Is
something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied &C.
real foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack Of proper nourishment They
showed it. So 1 urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
both children are we'll and strong as
any children in this city, and, of
course, my friend is a firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"
