Stenington's Battle Centennial, three days blessed with the rich fruitage of human thought and effort and crown ed by natures benefleence with blue came to grand and satisfying cii- max with the great historical pageant Monday afternoon. Ten thousand pec- pie hscked into the borough to see the portrayal by parade and pageant of the establishment and the growth and the successes and gleries of the famous town by the sea And they found most wonderful spectacle car. ried out with a smoethness that was notable. with a wealth of detail that was amazing and with a vividness that made those scenes of days of yore strike home with thrill to their descendants of today. This pageant was more than a shew-a suRerrciai representation of generations that are past and their ways of life and action it was the past being lived out by the present in a virile, red-biooded fashion, 1t was the spirit of the men and women of the old Stonington. showing forth in those of the new.
 It was pageant unique, one that can rarely be held. Few places there are that can boast. like Stoningten, of so many threads, and they of so many colors as those that are woven Into the web of stoninston's history. Ex- piSA@SAeHs ssA4ugSG scttieHieht uc- fense, c call te adventure that led her mariners to SCOUT every sea, a spirit of patriotism that brought her sons, followed by her daughters prayers and hopes, to fight on the fields of every war, and in times of peace to bear a worthy part in public service-these are some of the things thus recalled once more to memory that made Ston- ington's pageant really great and worth while. Those sturdy men and noble women of colonial days and of war times, worthily represented by their descendants. arouse pride in the past, emulation in the present, ambition for the future And thus Stonington's celebration reached the continuation of it's true significance on Monday afternoon, after three days that have been really in themselves history making in the old south-coun- ty town,

CoNGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It.

A person ip good health is likely to have genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work
 On the other hand. if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery.
 Until recently" writes a Washing ton girl, I was a railroad stenograph- CT. which means full work every day.
 Like many other girls alone in a large city, lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
 After few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terri ble effort, and I thought the work was to blame-too arduous
 At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast
 T concluded if 1t would tide him over mornings heavy work, 1t might help me. so on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast.
 T stuck to Grape Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improve ment remember used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how good it was simply to live.
