Overeating increases blood pressure.
It's like stocking up q boiler where
there is little demand for the excess Of

blood pressure. Auto-intoxication will do

down, in people inclined to low pressure.
Beware Of taking too much protein.
Too much starch causes fermentation

repair waste matter and keep you built

1t becomes poison or fat. Keep to q

A Sermon for Today
The Sons of Zebedee.
~ rev. JOHN n. oUNN.

HE saw two other brethren, James,
the son OF Zebedee, and John, his
brother, in a ship with Zebedee, their
father, mending their nets, and He
called them. Matt. tv.2l.
The sons OF Zebedee-look around
you and you will find them most nu-
merous In the seats Of the high and
mighty. Look around IN the halls Of
Congress and the Senate chambers and
you viii ind them there, and in pre-
vailing numbers. Read any encyclo-
pedia Of American biography and you
VIII ind that throughout the history
Of America our most ulustrious states
men, distinguished scientists, eloquent
preachers and great merchant princes
have been mostly sons of Zebedee.
Who was Zebedee? Just q plain, I'M
lettered fisherman, unknown beyond
the little sea Of Galilee where he piled
his trade. But look at his two sons,
James and John. They became two of
with their apostolic comrades, changed
governments, overthrow kingdoms and
empires, revolutionized thinking, made
q new literature and a new civilization,
and changed the customs of the worldl
As this poor and uneducated father
watched these two sons growing UP in
his fisherman's hut there by the sea Of
Galilee, little did he dream Of what
they were to be and do in the world.
But from such humble parentage and
humble huts have come most Of the
worlds great leaders and benefactors.
Zebedee. He Is still In the fish mar
ket. You can find him today In the
blacksmith's shop, in the coal mine, In
the farm house, in the village cottage.
In the city tenement. He is poor; he
never had the advantages of an educa-
ton; he is unknown beyond the narrow
sphere In which he works and lives.
But he has sons, and he IS training
them for q great destiny. Watch out
for the sons Of Zebedeel

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

good places A child discovers the best
bits In a book, never fear. They stick
in his memory and form his standards
Of conduct in time to come. Then he
takes 1t down occasionally and reads
those good bits over again. The book IS
being aSsimilated. It is becoming o part
Of the child.
Is that not very much worth while?
Isn't 1t a great feeling of gladness and
relief that steals over you when you see
your child absorbed in q book that you
know Is q good book? You know that
his companions are raising the standard
Of conduct, frightening his ideals, en-
nobling his spirit as he turns the pages.
Then buy boks for the children. Give
each his own shelf and remember to
add volume on birthdays. Christmas
and vacations. Join a library, join q
book club, add books TO the child's
equipment and you give them that
which nothing can ever destroy, q
knowledge Of and q taste for what Is
beautiful

old Mother Nature,

The young Muskrats didn't intend to
be diSrespectful to their father. Jerry
Muskrat, when between themselves they
made fun Of his warning about traps.
They were Just like most other young
people who have not yet learned their
lessons from the greatest Of all teach
ers-experience. Never having seen q
trap they couldn't believe that 1t could
possibly be as bad as Jerry had said 1t
was. Never having been frightened by
Farmer Browns boy, who was the one
two-legged creature aside from the bird
folk with whom they were really IA
miliar, they judged others Of the same
kind by him. So when their father was
disturbed by the appearance Of another
boy they were not at all afraid and
thought Jerry foolish.
"All this talk about traps sounds
scary, but won't be scared" said one
young Muskrat. When some one Of

Good Books.

II there Is any one good that Is be-
yond other good in the lives Of children,
1t Is good books. They hold hope and
power and happiness In full measure for
those who read them.
Yet parents buy many other things
for the children before they buy books.
Toys that are broken in few days and
tossed aside are bought by the score.
Candy that the children do not need
and can well do without Is purchased
by the pound. Unnecessary clothes, I'M
necessary treats are given without stint.
A good book often costs less than any
Of these and could be appreciated by
the children, but grown-up people do
not think about that.
We are fond Of saying that children
need good associates. We want them to
60 with fine people, to know the best
people, TO take high place in the So
ciety Of their home place. How seldom
our children have the chance to meet
these fine people. Distance and time
separate them. The world Is wide and
the flne people whose society we covet
for our children are far and wide upon
its face.
But they are in their books. Your
boy can listen to Stevenson for q couple
Of hours as he tells his story Of Treasure
Island. You can buy him that pleasure
and he can keep 1t forever, for 81. Your
girl can know Miss Montgomery, Miss
Alcot, Miss FerrisS and women of their
sort for . trifiing expenditure on your
part.

know: Hawthorne, Longfellow, Lowell,

Then these needless young MuSkratS
quite forgot all about the subject. They
continued to play about as they always

suspicious. As is apt to be the way
with young people they felt quite equal
to looking out for themselves. Never
having had experience they scorned the
value Of experience.
Meanwhile Jerry Muskrat continued

not anxious for himself or about Mrs.

Mrs. Jerry was quite as wise as was he.
It was about the children that he wor-
