PUZZLED Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac- 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 weak little chap and we were pug zled to know what to feed him on.
 One lucky day we tried Grape Nuts. Well, you never saw a 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 l think he would have liked the food for dinner.
 "The difference in his appearance is something wonderful.
 My husband had never fancied ce- real foods of any kind, but he be, came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it.
 We are now a healthy family, and naturally believe in Grape-Nuts
 "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment. They showed 1t. 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"

Packed within which is at most hundred miles long and eighty miles wide is a population of about quarter of million people, the sturdiest bravest and most warke people anywhere to be found. The Montenegrps fighting race among whom personal bra very is accounted the highest virtue in man. By a national decree the men all carry loaded pis- tols at their belts, and these they prone to use on small provocation. They have regard for the value of human life, and family animosi- ties pursued through generations after the fashion of the Corsican vendetta. Nicholas I. has for years steadfastly discouraged these blood feuds, which a bane of Montenegrin life; but racial instincts die hard and these of the Black Mountains not easily soothed into civi- lization's ways.
 In the early years of Nicholas reign Montene- gro suffered much by pestilence and famine well as by successive conflicts with Turkey, which has been envious of the Montenegrns' stubborn independence. In the struggles of the seventies Prince Nicholas and his people were successful to the extent of recovering valuable seaboard territory, in the possession of which the principality confirmed by the twenty eighth article of the Berlin treaty. In the same famous agreement of the powers the independ- ence of Montenegro, really existent for centuries at last formally recognized even by Turkey. With so much conceded to their heroism and pa triotism the Montene grns free to develop their national resources, whicI are wholly agri cultural. Among the humanizing influences es- sential to the progress of his people Prince Nicholas promptly recognized the value of edu- cation, and almost before the ink dry treaty signatures extensive scheme of eemen tary education organized throughout the principality. There are now some POO primary schools maintained by the state and attendance is compulsory all children.
 Whatever Nicholas I. has done and may do however, by way of fostering the arts of peace and of advancing the material prosperity of his people avails little when the Montenegrin genius is essentially military. In all eastern Europe there is no finer soldier than the hardy man of the mountains. The Montenegrin ruler knows his strength in this respect, and he has fashioned at least fifth of the population into a weldis- ciplined and well-equipped little army comprising 58 battalions of infantry and 12 batteries of art- l.ry, but cavalry.
 Of greater account than their martial order is the intense nationasm of the Montene- grins a sentiment which their ruler stimulates

Much that may seem extravagant and absurdly archaic to western ideas has hidden purpose in the Balkins Austrian, Russian and German policy alike has aimed at such a seve. rance of Serb associations as shall effectually repress Serb aspirations to reunited empire.
 On the other hand it has been the settled pol icy of Nicholas I. to keep the flame of Serb pa triotism alight.

march swept away the medieval Servian empire this warlike mountain kept it's passes by ceaseless watching night and day, and submis- sion to Turkish authority was of a nominal na- ture. And when their ancient capital threat ened they abandoned it as ruthessly those other Slavs of the northland burned and aban- doned Moscow in the face of the advancing foe, and betaking themselves high up into the noun tains founded secure seat of government within the rocky walls of Cettinje.
 A wonderful people these Montene grins, with a wonderful history If ever Servian empire be reestablished, if ever the Balkan states be- come united in powerful confederation that would wholly change the political complexion of the near east and it's problems, it will be largely due to the patriotism and pluck of this little pa triarchal state. To this day the men wear an edging of black in their scarlet eaps-this in mourning for a lost Slav empire-and with all the passion of a primitive people they hold to that national idea which would accomplish the union of all the Serb states
 Early In the sixteenth century the ruler of the Montenegrins, being a pious prince, who much loved the church, handed executive authority to the metropolitan bishop, who henceforth bore the title of "vladika" prince bishop. For three and a half centuries spiritual and temporal power lay in one mans hands, the vladka being little Balkan pope. In 1896 the Petrovc Njegos family entered into possession of this princely power, and this dynasty rules in Montenegro still. ln 1851 Dano l. renounced the title of vladika In favor of that of hospodar, at the same time seyerng the temporal authority from the spirit ual oversight of the people In 1853 Danilo II. ordered the enrolment in arms of all Montene- grin males capable of service. The tribal system stlll obtained, chieftans of clans being directly responsible to their prince. On August 13, 1860, the present ruler acceded to power, and during the fifty years of notable reign Prince Nicholas has done much to civilize and modernize this primitive mountain land while at the same time | ne has been careful to keep national habits in 1 all their simplicity and to foster lofty national N ism of spiriA and sentiment among his people. ~ Of all the states in Europe Montenegro is per snaps the least knowE to- the least visited by the average travelled man, while to the untraveled the sery Is blank.

 Emperor Joseph II. thought he had them fixed forever when he gave them houses and lands, seed, grain and farming implements. The seeds were promptly eaten the houses became horse stables; the implements were sold, and the owners moved on.
