REASONED 1T OUT
And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking owe
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and l made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that ~over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food. was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me so dull, heavy and I'M
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. l concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what it could do for
me.
Il have been using 1t for some
months now, and am glad to say that
l do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do the work for
which it was intended.
Il have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is a pleasure

it. and my mind Is clearer and more

ians, who worshiped the beetle be-
the power of burying itself and ris-
ing again. When it's eggs were dis
covered the symbolism a trans
ferred to them.
The first colored eggs were a vivid
red, t~ypifying the blood of Christ, and
treasured exchanges among all class
es. In the expense book of Edward
the First of England there is a record
of Easter eggs, n item calling for
$50 eggs stained with gold.
The Druids held the egg as a SYM
Dol of the sun and believed that it
Matched from itself the earth and other
planets. Their priests and officers pro
claimed their official position by wear
ing an egg encased in gold and sus-
pended around the neck by a chain.
The Syrlans believed that the gods
from whom they descended were mys-
~teriously Matched from eggs, and the
Chinese go even farther and believe
that the world was formed from an
egg. From the yolk there stepped
forth a human being called Poon-koo-
wong, who waved his hand, and the
upper half of his late covering. the
egg shell, became the heavens, the
lower half turning over to form the
earth.
The Easter bunny Is said to have
been the bird which at one time drew
the chariot of the Goddess of Spring
and was turned into a hare. Every
year however, at the coming of spring
the hare remembers, and in commem-
Grafton of it's original bird nature lays
eggs as an offering to Spring and
Youth it symbolizes. This may be the
reason that on Easter eve German
families place a nest full Of sugar
eggs and real eggs somewhere in the
garden that the children may hunt
for them on Easter morning.
Another connection between Eas'
ter and the hare is the latter's re
lation to the moon. Easter is really
a lunar holiday and in ancient times
the hare was a symbol for the moon.
Numerous superstitions and legends
are connected with Easter day. the
Oldest and most widespread of which
is that which makes the SUI partici
pate in the general rejoicing by dane
ing in the sky. This superstition is
traced back to the days Of ancient
paganism when the people engaged
in fantastic dances at the festival OF
Osterr.
In Scotland, that land of supersti-
ton, ii is said that the sun turns
around in the sky three times on
Easter morning like a wheel and then
gives three great leaps through space,
and so general is the belief that many
people still get up early on Easter
morning to see this phenomenon.
Many country people still believe In
hat ancient superstition that to see
q lamb when first looking out of the
window on Easter morning will bring
great good luck, especially If its head
be turned toward the house. 1t Is al
SO lucky to meet a lamb on Easter
day. as that is one form that the devil
cannot take.

revival of the new day and fresh &C.
tivity, particularly Of the coming of
the spring and the revival of nature.
As the Christian Easter signifies a
new birth into life everlasting. the
analogy between the revival of the
natural life in the spring after the
long winter Of bright and the resur-
rection Of the Savior is quite evident.
The month of April was dedicated
by the Saxons to this goddess and the
name. Oster Monat, is still used by
the Germans to denote it. The Latin
races of the south of Europe and the
Russians have derived the word Eas-
ter from the Aramanic word "pesash'
(pass over and Easter is called by
the Spanish 'pascus," while the Ital-
ians speak of 1t as basque" the
French calling it 'pasques" and the
Russians 'paskah."
One of the first policies of the early
Christian church was the practice of
turning as many as possible of the
pdHdu IeSllfdlo ihhO hOiy 0oyS IL
giving them a religious significance.
Easter, the spring festival of the
e the resurrecting Of the nat
ural life, was therefore seized eager
" upon and made a day of rejoicing
signifying the resurrection of Christ
and the hope of new spiritual life.
In the first days of the religious
observance of Easter the people went
to the church clothed in special dress
and the priests recited humorous po-
ems and told funny stories. This odd
observance was so abused by the peo-
pie. however, and so much license
was taken that 3 few years later the
day was changed into one OF silent
rejoicing.
II was not until A. d. $40 that the
first real Easter hymn was written.
ST. Ambrose was the author of this
and it was typical of the spring and
the resurrection and filled with the
faith of the new life to come.
