THE STORY OF THE PEANUT

As everyone knows. C. w. Post OF
Battle Creek. Michigan. is not only a

has bought advertising space for this

As result OF Posts activities the

He employs no union labor. so they

Meaning Of Cemetery.

1t is not correct to say that "ceme.
terry means the 'city of the dead"
The word is from the Greek "Koime-
terion," meaning sleeping place. not
the place of the dead. There is nothing
in the thinking that it was originally
intended to convey the idea that the
departed were really dead any more
than there is in the old Hebrew term
for cemetery-"Bethaim"-the house
of the living,
