Legion's Nations! Adjutant Has A>
quamtancaship Among Members
of ths 11,000 Posts.
There Is one magnificent difference,
afTIoiig others, between the Jkmsrican
Legion of today
and that Legion
of C. Julius Caes
ar’s day. No one
In the lattef out
fit knew more _
than a cohort or !? ^ \ j
two •' of private
soldiers and ordi
nary officers by
their first names.
The American Le
gion has a man
who knows thou
sands of his Le
gionnaires by their favorite nick
names. But Caesar’s host* didn’t
have any national adjutants to speak
of.
Legion posts are established in
practically ev^ry community in the
United States and Legionnaires have
carried their flag into 20 foreign coun
tries. In every one of these far : flung
11,000 posts there are one or more
men who know Lemuel Bolles. -Mr.
Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since
the Legion was organized in France
Mr. Bolles has been identified with It.
Since Its first convention In Minneapo
lis in 1919 be has been national ad
jutant, and as such he has met per
sonally or corresponded with thou
sands of Legion men and women. His
duties have taken him Into almost all
the 48 states during these three years,
and he receives a thousand of so let
ters each week. He has. without doubt,
the largest personal acquaintance with
men of anna ever enjoyed by any In
dividual since armies were-Invented.
Mr. Bolles was born In Minneapolis,
grew up un the ranges of tbe iHiko-
I taa and was established In Brattle,
! Wash., when he entered active svrvlea
f«w the World war. He began hla
military career db a private la a Na-

IV. Ezskisi's Gravs Responsibility
j (S J7-21).
God tuude him a watchman. Every
minister Is a watchman over hla flock.
Two thing* were required of him :
1. To Hear the Word at Uod’a
Mouth. The source of hla message
wa* God’* Word. So today the minis
ter is to get his message from God.
2. Sound the Warning (v. .17). After
he heard God's message he was to
speak It out. The same duty upon
• the.minister today, (’uses in point for
ids guidance (vv. 18-21):
(1) When God says to the wicked
“Thou shall surely die” (v. 18), und
the watchman fulls to warn him, the
wicked man ahull die in Ids iniquity,
but ids blood shall he required at the
watchman’s hand.
(2) If the watchman warn the wick
ed and the warning is unheeded (v.
19), the wicked man shall perish, hut
the wutehman has delivered ids tfoul.
(3) When a righteous man turns to
do iniquity and God gives him over to
stumbling hi ids own sin, ids past
seeming righteousness will he of no
avail, but ids blood will he required at
the Land of the watchman if he fall to
warn him (v. 20).
* (4). If tlie watchman so warns the
righteous man.that he fall not into sin,
tlie man shall he saved and the watch
man hath delivered his soul.
Ministers have most solemn obliga
tions, that of discharging their obliga
tion whether men will hear or fore
fear.

■ — - make each part as strong as the rest/* was his way of “building
t wonderful, one-horse chaise that wouldn’t wear out till judgment day.’*
This illustrates a fact that is keeping many doctors busy these day*
—human bodies, like chaises, break down because some part isn’t at
strong as the others.
Very often it’s because of ill-balanced food, lacking in some impor
tant element of nutrition. This is especially true of ills developed in
childhood, and carried on through life.
Grape-Nuts, that world-famous, ready-to-eat cereal, brings the plan
of building each part as strong as the rest—to serve human need. Grape-
Nuts contains all the nutriment of those best of the field grams, wheat
and barley, including the vital mineral elements, and it is a wonderful
food for building and sustaining health and strength.
The delicious flavor and crispness of Grape-Nuts make it a waft-
come dish whenever you’re hungry*
