FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down In
Georgia went through food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;
and also know from having pre-
scribed it to ,convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won-
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and patients
gain, just as l did in strength and
weight. very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that
! had to give up my work entirely and
60 to the mountains. but two months
there did not improve me; in fact
was not quite as well as when / left
home. My food did not sustain me
and 1t became plain that must
change.
i began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks could walk mile, and In
hve weeks returned to my home and
practice. taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as well and
strong as I ever did in my life.
AS a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider 1t q duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

LINCOLN, MAN
OF THE PEOPLE.
Many Reasons Why He Has lust
" Been Given the Title Of
Typical American.
Firm Believer Always In the coneep-
tIon Of Democracy Which 10 the
Foundation Of Our Nation-Hls
Many High Qualities Worthy

"O save Abraham Lincoln from
deathly apotheosis Of the steel
engraving has been laudable
effort of recent years. OF course
1t will not prevent the process of leg
end making which works upon the
earthly reality Of every great man. and
In due time leaves him desiccated
abstraction existing for the heavy
boredom Of childhood. Even Lincoln,
with his vital, homely outlines. his
intimate, endearing faults, and strong
flavor of his day, must come to this
turn.
One hundred and seven years ago
Lincoln was born. Fifty-one years ago
he was shot by John Wilkes Booth,
and on the next day he died. the first
"martyred president" A great wave
of passionate sorrow. gratitude and af-
lection swept the North. The process
of apotheosis began. Today It may be
observed In the sanctifed generalities
Of Lincoln orations. editorials. poems
and articles.
Moved by FIattery.
The central idea of the overwhelm-
ing majority Of these tributes is Lin.
coin, the man of the people, the typi-
cal American. Year after year on
February IL and frequently through.
out the year we hear this confident
summary and without examining 1t. Is
this mental inertia or are we uncon-
sciously moved by the fiattery implicit
in this idea? An editorial In the New
Republic suggests the latter. The real
purpose Of Lincoln-day speakers is not
so much to eulogize Lincoln. this Jour-
nal declares, as to fiatter the audience.
New View Of Great President.
The reproach has more of justice
than we like to think. The orator is
the courtier Of democracy fattering
the sovereign citizen as grossly as
ever an emperor was fiattered. The
fiattery of indirect praise is unusually
delicate and insidious. and II Is well
for US to examine 1t coolly. The New
Republic puts It sharply away. In
point of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
ficially man Of the people. and funda-
mentally unique. distinguished and
wholly exceptional individual. In GER
tain salient respects he, was the least
typical Of Americans. Americans, par
ticularly those of Lincoln's own gener-
alton and neighborhood. were essen.

LINCOLN AS ARTIST
Must Be Accorded That Distinc'
ton in Addition TO That
of Statesman.

Wy re know that both in youth
AN/ and in age, Lincoln was
" " great reader of Shake.
speare. Probably that wide
and ardent spirit, dreaming at large
upon the full possibilities of life,
dreamed at times of doing something
of the work that Shakespeare did. of
rejecting the manifold humanity OF
America in imperishable verse. If so,
the dreams we're lightly discarded, and
Lincoln as a writer contented himself
with putting the weighty needs OF
every day into language of firm tex.
ture, and when he willed. Of high i'm
mortal eloquence.
But Lincoln had a kinship with
Shakespeare, the supreme artist, in far
deeper ways than In the mere mastery
of words. He saw life on the high
plane of eternity, as Shakespeare saw
1t and as every true artist sees 1t.
From this poetical temperament
came Lincoln's melancholy. He &C.
cepted the hard facts of life as calmly
as any man. and fought meanness and
greed and sly cunning and open base
ness, as II victory over them were
all he cared for. Yet at the same
time. with the poets sense of things
beyond, he saw not only the pettiness
of defeat, but the pettiness of present
victory compared with the years be-
fore and the years after. and the vast
uncertainty of the destinies of men.
Who has known this melancholy and
expressed II better than Shakespeare?
From his poetical temperament.
again. came Lincoln's humor, SO close
ly akin to Shakespeare's. 1t Is world
removed from the nosy clatter Of
trivial laughter. Lincoln was no
laugher, and we are sure that Shake
speare was not. Just as the sense of
the cropping mystery Of things breeds
sadness in its pathetic aspect, so the
contrast between the huge eagerness
of men and their pitiful accomplish
ment breeds a smile, not of mockery
or scorn. but of the tenderest pity and
kindness.
Finally, Shakespeare's supreme
greatness as an artist was In his COM
prehension-by loving sympathy-of
the hearts of men, OF all men, Was
not that Lincoln's greatness. too?
Shakespeare used his gift to create
men and women who can never die.
Lincoln used his to play like a great
master on instruments so different as
Seward and Chase and Stanton. as Nc
Clellan and Hooker and Sherman and
Grant. and by his genius reunited
nation that as long as 1t lives. will
remember him.
The chief fruitfulness OF this point
of view Is that IT brings out clearly
the distinction between Lincoln and
even the greatest Of his contempor
aries. say Seward and Grant in the
North. and Lee and Davis In the South.
They were all practical men. men alb
sorbed In the immense affairs In which
they were engaged. They did not look
above or beyond them. Lincoln did.
He had not only profound intellt
gence; he had splendid imagination.
He was not only great statesman:
he was great artist.-From the

arate billets, which they roll up, and
draw by way of lots, the maids TAX
ing the mems billets and the men the
maids; so that each Of the young men
lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine, and each of the girls upon a
young man whom she calls hers. BY
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine to whom he had fallen. For
tune having thus divided the company
into so many couples. the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses. wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves and this
little sport often ends In love-"
