Speaking of Angels
to Parents at School

Patrons Day exercises at the Boas
school building yesterday afternoon
were unusually interesting and a
large number of parents of the pupils
were in attendance. Special features
of interest were presented in each
room where an elaborate program
was given with Miss Mary NJ. Vollmer,
supervising principal, presiding
Music and readings were enjoyed
and then Miss Nollmer presented the
Rev. Reinholdt Schmidt, pastor of
st. AIichaels German Lutheran
church, who made a telling address
on the subject Angels The Rev.
Mr.. Schmidt said that the angel or good
part of the child often suffered from
proper development because of the
misunderstanding or thoughtlessness
of the parents and urged that there be
cooperation between the schools and
the home at all times.
Beautiful thoughts, eXpressively
clothed in beautiful language, made
the talk one long to be remembered
by those who were fortunate enough
to hear the distinguished speaker,
who at the end of his peroration call
ed down Gods blessing on the parents,
pupils and schools of the city.

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is apt to be with
the food. The old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Arizona
man says:
For years I could not safely eat
any breakfast. l tried various kinds
of breakfast food, but they were all
soft, starchy messes which gave me
distressing headaches. | drank strong
coffee, too. which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterward.
a friend persuaded me to quit
coffee and the starchy breakfast foods,
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in
stead. l shall never regret taking his
advice.
"The change 1t worked in me is
wonderful. I now have no more of
the distressing sensations in my stom-
ach after eating, and 1 don't have
headaches. l have gained IL pounds
in weight and feel better in every way.
"Grape-Nuts makes a delicious as
well as nutritious dish; and 1 find
that Postum agrees perfectly-never
produces dyspepsia symptoms"
There's a Reason" Name given
by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Ever read the above letter? \ new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
