Stone, an gc- live member of the American Legion, has been fiamed^ii associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme court. Justice Stone's uphill fight to this position marks his career as one of the most Interesting in the Northwest. It seemed that every possible hin drance • was thrown In his way in earlier years, beginning with his ma triculation as a law student at the Uni versity of-Minnesota. Crop conditions brought heavy financial loss to his fa ther so that the lad fvaa forced to re linquish thc^collegejcpursejo^enter the office of an attorney to complete law work. His subsequent struggle for a living in n small town where ten other attorneys were practicing made it hard iffoing. His first trial, in defense of an al- -deged murderer, brough another disap pointment. About this time the Maine was blown to atoms in Huvnnu har bor and the country was stirred with appeals for men. Stone was anxious to go, but lie could not desert his client. At length, the trial was over, however, and lie was on his way to Georgia aa a private in a Minnesota Guard unit. Following discharge from service ha | made rapid strides In hla profession.

Texas, under cir cumstances requiring resourcefulness and courage to a high decree. Birch, who l« suffering with tuberculosis of the bone of the lower teg, was walking slowly towards home after school when lie was attracted by a sudden serpam from a tree nearby, and saw there a small boy caught high up in the branches and hanging to an electric wire. The crippled hoy climbed to the top of tire tree within a few inches of the menacing current. On account of the heavy voltage he did rot touch the child's body with hiA haml« until after he had freed him from the wire. This Birch managed to do by taking off Ida vest which had large armholes in It, throwing it qVer hne of tire child’s legs and then Jerking him from the wire. The scout caught the little fellow in one arm, then brought him down from the tree and carried hiu&to hit home. There he administered first-aid treat- metJt pending the arrival of the doctor. narv. l-gnbrr with many |-r<>inii»eRt LetL-uialrea, were In attrrw'.anre Full military honor* were arcorded the remains of sevinteen World wee | veterans, the first to be hurled in th« j Legion plot.

It is the great energy-producing element of tJid grain. But, in order to do you any good, it must be thoroughly digested, and it is right here that such a food as Grape-Nuts renders special service, Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and malted barley, supplies the meat of the wheat in most digestible form. That is because in the making of Grape-Nuta * large proportion of the starch is converted into dextrins and maltose—forms into which all starch elements must be changed before they can be as similated by the system. Grape-Nuts not onlv digests easily, but also aids in tit digestion of other foods. Crisp, delicious Grape-Nuta with milk or cream is a comnlete food.' It supplies the life-essential vitamin-B; also iron* phosphorus and other im portant mineral elements lor aer mad other body structure.
