Seven men and two women were

Freedoms WIN Freedom,

Benjamin e. Walsh, the socialist,
said of immigration. in a recent lecture
in Reading:
Il would not restrict immigration. 1t
is true that some immigrants, entering
for the first time a free country, abuse
their freedom. But they soon get over
that.
w are all apt to abuse unwontedi
freedom. l know an Englishman who,
on his arrival III New York, demanded
a glass of whisky in a palatial bar.
Now In England your whisky Is
measured out to you In a small tin
measure, but In our bar the English
man, to his establishment. had the full
bottle set before hssii. He was given
for the first time the freedom of the
bottle.
And, though a rich man, he abused
that freedom. He too an enormous
drink. Then he rose and handed the
bartender IL cents.
"Hold on, sir the bartender called
after him. You've forgotten your
change
81 thought the drink was IL cents
said the Englishman.
"rYes, that is So said the bartender
but that Is the retail price. There's
a reduction when you buy wholesale"

FOOD IN SERMONS
Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser

a conscientious, Woodworking and
successful clergyman writes: Il am
glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure Of efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape-Nuts food as n Of
my articles of diet
For several years / vas much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by Indigestion. My breakfast
seemed to turn sour and failed to d.
gest. After dinner the headache and
other symptoms following the break
fast would wear away, only to return,
however. next morning.
Having heard Of Grape-Nuts food, 1
finally concluded to give it a trial. 1
made my breakfasts Of Grape-Nuts
with cream, toast and Postum. The re-
suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for SO long a time, followed the
morning meal.
MY digestion became once more
satisfactory. the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned.
Since that time I have always had
Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
81 was delighted to find also, that
whereas before I began to use Grape
Nuts food I was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work Of
preparing m and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
81 am convinced that Grape-Nuts
food produced this result and helped
me to a sturdy condition Of mental
aid physical strength.
II have known of several persons
who were formerly troubled as I was.
and who have been helped as I have
been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food,
