A WINNING START
A Perfectly Diaested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong II the breaK-
fast lies in your stomach like mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years agoI contracted very
annoying form Of Indigestion. My stom-
ach was in such condition that a sim
ple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
"I was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give it up. and found
a great change upon cup OF not
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year / have held to this course ana
have not suffered except when in1udi-
ciously varying my diet.
II have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means q saving OF nerV-
GUS force for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value OF
Grape-Nuts.

table"

SMILE AWHILE,

we all know the man with q griev-
ance,-the man who carries about a
rare collection Of melancholy, calam-
ity, blighted hopes, woe, regret and
grief that seem to him to be the stun
life is made of. He is ready to pre-
dict destructive flood, if it rains a
little bit, and if the sun shines look
out for an awful drouth. a cool
wave presages biting frost and 2
warm southern zephyr means Wither-
in heat. IL would rather wander
through the cemetery 81 morgue than
tn indulge in the frivolous society
vi people who attend picnics and who
smile
When we try to account for this
grouchy condition we conclude that
some inherit it, others acquire It by
association and still others overeat
until their stomachs and liVers go on
a strike. Some over-work into the
wee sma' hours and get their nerves
on edge, and some fall in love with
the wrong girl. However they hap
pen to come by it they are all like
the old lady who said ''I always feel
bad when 4 feel good because Al know
i shall feel worse afterward."
If YOU demonstrate with any of
these unhappy creatures they will say
to you: you don't understand the
peculiar circumstances surrounding
my case" That is an old story.
Now we believe it is the duty o. ev-
eryone ito cultivate cheerfulness, and
to look on the bright side( it's always
there, and after while, although ap-
parently melancholy had"marked him
for her own" a new look will steal
over him and he will begin to get
some pleasure out of living the life
our Creator intended u to live; to
take friendly interest in hi fellow
man, and to have firmer belief il The
wisdom and love Of God
Are not the rewards great enough
to induce the effort, or are you like
the ancient Pharoah who besought
Moses and Aaron to stay the plague
of frogs? When they asked him at
what time it should be done, he re-
piled, Tomorrow at about this time. -
He wanted twenty-four hours more
frogs.
Smile awhile.

THE CRANK.

A woman of Seattle, Washington,
who is under penitentiary sentence
for starving a patient to death, has
just completed a fast of forty-five
days in an effort to prove that fasting
is not injurious
Unfortunately for her case, she has
only proved that long fast can be
accomplished by one person, but in
thus proving the exception she by no
means disproves the rule. tit forty
persons tasted for forty days the biz
percentage of them would certainly
die, and very probably all Of them
would suffer bad results.
America, has SO much liberty that
perhaps the crank has a perfect right
I'd deplete his system by starva-
ton, just as the indulgent- person has
the same freedom to cultivate the
govt from over-eating, but society
has, at least right to insist that
the experiments Of cranks shall be
limited to themselves.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY "a, 1912
THE POLITICAL BOSS.

Under modern conditions and with
modern political ideas, the political
Boss is losing his hold, and is being
reIegated to the rear.
In many instances in our country,
in recent years, the political Boss has
been dethroned, and the people have
asserted their independence Of such
tyranny.
This il wholesome sign in t. Pc
litical life of the country What are
some Oh the elements. Of The political
Boss? lie il essentially, but not nee
essarily, man, who has some talent
for leadership, and IL in the political
game for what it will pay him. In
other words, he is a professional
spokesman, and all his assumption OF
party loyalty is. sham, to cover his
real purpose of political plumber. He
perpetuates his power by surrounding
himself with a lot Of henchmen, who
are actuated by the same desire for
political plumber, that IL the DONNA
ting thought or the Chief. The biz
Boss surrounded by the little Bosses
who are ever ready To Go hi bidding
They are held together. not by any
bond OF party fealty, Or high sense Of
party honor, but by the cohesive
power Of public plumber"
1t is amazing that in this free
country Of ours, man of this stamp
and with such purposes should have
ever dominated any political commun-
aty. Yet it is SO, and communities
have had great struggle to get rid
OF him.
In this day OF greater enlighten-
ment, no party can have continued
success, which tolerates the political
Boss
Every political party must have
leadership and the better the
leadership the more certain Will be
the success Of the party. But such a
man is not in any sense Boss. He
is actuated by high political motives,
having an earnest desire for his par
tvs success, because he believes the
good Of the people requires that its
principles should prevail.
He is not in it for the sordid pur-
pose Of political gain, which dlstin-
guishes the political Boss. Leader
ship il essential to the success OF any
movement, and the wise and honest
leader, will b. honored and followed
by the people, but the Boss, As such,
should have no place in any political
organization, and should be eliminat-
ed from the thought of all persons
who love good, honest government.

GREAT REPRESENTATIVE
LIGIOUS ASSEMBLIES.

This week there are assembled a
number of the leading church rep
resentative bodies in this country, in
Guiding the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the Methodist Protestant, the
Presbyterian, the Reformed Episcopal
and the Baptist. The people of the
country are watching with a great
deal Of interest the deliberations Of
these great law making bodies for
their respective denominations, for a
grave responsibility rests upon them.
Religious teaching must be proper
ly organized to be properly effected,
and the value of such teaching and its
effect upon "a nation are emphasized
by these gatherings.
Recently there has been a great deal
OF discussion looking toward the union
OF two or more denominations, and
at each gathering Of these represen-
tative bodies many questions of great
Importance must b. solved
