A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty Of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles Of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For number Of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil l was
very ill most of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
so reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
'Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two prin-
cipally for about four months. Day
by day I gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-.
tirely disappeared and l feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he was
troubled for long time with occa
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
l prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a long time, but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
re could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
II have brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it."

HAS COME INTO HER OWN
spinster to To-Day by No Means the
Grabbed Old Maid of the
"Comic" Papers.

The day of the typical grabbed old
maid is passed. Even the comic pa

spinisterhood in this guise Her place
has been taken by the Independent
woman who quickly enough finds her
own niche in the world, and who gen.

The old maid of today finds a
whole realm of interest awaiting her,
and plenty of work which she cares
to do. No longer is she condemned
to solitude and cat, no longer is
spinisterhood regarded as term Of
reproach and looked upon as a con-
dition to be ashamed of.
Look at any of the big charities,

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.
Based on the census OF 1900, it is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis that nearly 100000 children
now in school will die of tuberculosis
before they are IS years of age, or
that about 6,400 die annually from
this disease. Estimating that on an
average each child who dies of tuber-
culosis has had six years of schooling,
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to $1.152,000. According to investiga-
lions made in New York, Boston and
Stockholm, the percentage of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would

A PRAYER.

Our Heavenly Father, we thank thee
that thine ear is ever open to our
cry and that thou never turnest away
the soul in need. Our hands have
been busy with many things, with
striving and getting and laboring for
the things which perish. But com.
ing to thee we enter into peace and
find rest unto our souls. Into our
hearts we pray thou wilt come and
make each one thy home, casting out
all sin and self1shness till they are
pure and childlike and fit for the
spirits indwelling. Uplift our hearts
to praise thee for thy never-failing
goodness through all the passing days.
Quicken us to regard others needs
as our clear call and obligation to
service, and strengthen us to do what
our hands find to do for the advance
ment of thy cause and kingdom. Draw
all thy children of earth into closer
bonds of unity and brotherhood and
hasten the time when all shall know
thee, in whom is light and life eternal.

An Evidence Of Real Unity.

A telegram from Rt. Hon. Earl Grey.
governor general of Canada, to Bishop
Hartzell, has the following jubilant
note:
Bravo! delighted to hear your
right arm has been SO greatly strength
ened for useful work in Rhodesia and
other part of Africa. AS you are
aware, this good news would have de-
lighted the heart of Cecil Rhodes, who
valued greatly the assistance given to
his work by the Methodist Episcopal
church. The evidence of interdenom.
national and international unity IN
matters of common interest to us all
is also very dear to me. Grey"
It will be recalled that it was
through Earl Grey, as governor gen.
eral of Rhodesia In 1897, that Bishop
Hartzell received for the Methodist
Episcopal church the first large grant
Of land and buildings In Rhodesia from
the British South African Company.

toni, has treated of '"The Incarnation
as Dynamic of Western Civilization"
To the coming of Jesus he ascribes the
unification of the manifold sacredness
around us; the unfolding of our sense
of kinship with God and our fellows;
the revelation of the unity of the hui
man race, and consequent changes in
the relations of men with one another:
the calling of sense of the essential
worth of human nature; the unwilling
of the spiritual quality Of industry
and drudgery; the enhancing of the
worth of the body; the TRANSPORTATION
of sex, with ensuing effect on morality
and the family; and the glorification
of love. These eight items by no
means exhaust the catalogue of what
Jesus has done-is doing all the time
but are some lines of the index to
the divine volume "Gesta Christi"
that records Jesus contribution to civ
ilization through Christianity
Well may our religious Christmas
be merry and exultant. The secret OF
the distance between Bethlehem's
manger and our modern highest en-
lightenment is Jesus himself. He is
the light of the world" His life is
"the light of men," All other great
movements that have blessed mankind
in the Christian era are only impulses
from this dynamic of the incarnation.

the world there spring up mankind's
