I A conscientious, hard-working and eminently successful clergyman writes: |*T am glad to boar testimony to the [pleasure and increased measure of jefficiency and health that have come to jme from adopting Grape-Nuts food as 5one of my articles of diet, f "For several years I was much distressed during the early part of each iday by indigestion. My breakfast, {usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed Ito digest. After dinner the headache 'and other symptoms following the breakfast would wear away, only to rejturn, however, next morning. { "Raving heard of Grape-Nuts food, I finally concluded to give it a fair trial. T quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and .made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts, cream, toastxand Postum. The result Jwas surprising in improved health and jtotal absence of the distress that had, Sfor so long a time, followed the mornling meal. My digestion became once more satisfactory, the headaches 'ceased, and the old feeling of energy returned. Since that time, four years ago, I have always had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast table. | "I was delighted to find also, that Whereas before I began to use urape$Tuts food I was quite nervous and became easily wearied in the work of preparing sermons and in study, a marked improvement In this respect resulted from the change in my diet. I am convinced that Grape-Nuts food produced this result and helped me to a sturdy condition of mental and physical strength. "I have known several persons who were formerly troubled as I was. and who have been helped as I have been, toy the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my recommendation, among whom may be mentioned the Rev. . now a missionary to China.** Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

ROGERS. . |j5T T5|lOME seventeen miles from l=J 1==J Louisville is located "Mansfield," one of the best of - the smaller estates of Ken[HH IHI tucky, presided over by coionel W'atterson, familiarly known throughout the State as "Marse Henry." Professionally, he is a farmer. Perhaps you imagine that he is an editor, or author, or lecturer, or politician. If so, never mention the matter to him; it will give inm pain. The great trial of Colonel Wattcrson's life is that his friends will not take his agricultural pursuits seriously. Small blame to them. When Marse Henry is not in Switzerland writing a book, or in New York talking politics, or lecturing on Lincoln in Kalamazoo HENRY WA or elsewhere?which is most of the time?he can be found in serene philosophic retirement at Mansfield. There . his legion of friends troop to visit him. i Sitting calmly to-day in his cottage ; lat Vevey, Switzerland, Colonel Wat terson writes his monumental work on Lincoln in picturesque polysyllables, : and k>oks back over one of the most remarkable careers in America?cer- i tainly the most kaleidoscopic. He alone ] survives that group of knights of the quill who made American journalism. ,< Gone is Horace Greeley w,ho boxed ] the political compass, to die of disap pointment?the man who personally 1 molded more opinions on a greater . variety of subjects than any man. of the nineteenth century. Gone Greeley's long-time associate, and later political enemy and professional rival, the brilliant Henry J. Raymond. The ] tomb has closed over the elder James < Gordon Bennett, who made the hews 1 end of the modern newspaper; on the unmerciful Manton Marble, longWatterson's close political ally; on Wil- j bur F. Story, who was never so happy as when telegraph tolls mounted up, , who boasted that he always had a burglar on the Chicago Times staff to break safes and get exclusive official reports, whose sarcastic pen drew blood at every stroke, and whose pa- ( per died with him; on Joseph Medill, ( the maker of the Chicago Tribune, that pride of American journalism a thousand miles from Park Row; on Thurlow Weed, of Albany, the great- 1 est political strategist of his age. 1 Alas, no more is tne gray neaa or i Charles A.

Their style of architecture a wr.s curiously like that of Switzer- l> land, and they adopted the same a method of placing large stones on their j k bnts to keeD the roof from being blown ! J services to American journalism can never be fully appreciated! A few survive in retirement. Colonel McClure, the friend and agent of Lincoln, who was the Philadelphia Times, lives on in a green old ago in a comfortable official berth. Horace White still writes, but always impersonally. Field-Marchal Murat Halstead writes an occasional brilliant letter, but the Cincinnati Gazette, which was his work alone, is now hyphenated, and editorially speaking anonymous. "Kiit- TV.ittprsnn survives and his ner sonality is the more distinctive because his wit is yet as keen, his invective as maddening, and his humor as generous as of yore; because he stands up above the dead-level of impersonal journalism to-day like some lone mountain peak, casting its shadows upon the plain. A remarkable personality, an extraordinary human development, a surviving primus inter pares. No American who can reajl but is familiar with his brilliant, orij^ TTERSON. inal, phrase-making style of composition; no editor but reads the CourierJournal daily -when Watterson is at the helm; no other man whose daily editorial opinion is sent out by the press associations. And this man, still well on the safe side of seventy, has been for almost fifty years a distinct force in American affairs; long before the Civil War broke out he was con sidered a coming man. No State owns him; no pent-up Blue Grass Commonwealth contracts his powers.

Jait mm Far. A man who drove across the country last summer to a little town in Western Kansas met a farmer hauling a wagonload of water. "Where do you get water?" he asked. "Up the road about seven miles," the farmer replied. "And you haul water seven miles for four family and stock?" "Yep." "Why in the world don't you dig a well?" asked the traveler, excitedly. "Because, stranger," the farmer said, calmly, "it's just as fur one way as the )ther." No Strain on His Eyei.

New York, June 20.?No one can go 3 Into our schools or meet a group of 3 children on the street without noticing ] how large a number of them wear ( spectacles. The proportion seems to ( increase yearly, and there are many 1 more who ought, to wear glasses. The 1 experience of one teacher might be du- < plicated by the score. She knew Alice 1 was inattentive and she thought she 3 was unusually stupid. She said so 1 to the principal and sent a note to 1 the mother, requesting that the child i be helped at home if she wished her < to keep up with her class. One day i after a blackboard explanation, the 1 teacher called upon the child and found J that she had not seen what had been written. She was kept after school and by dint of much sympathetic questioning Miss C. found that Alice had never been able to see what was put on the board and that lier head had ached so often and so hard that she frequently failed to hear what was said. v * Such a condition may be caused by lack of proper food, but in our American homes it is usually due to the poor quality of the artificial light. The yellow, insufficient light of the ordinary kerosene lamp, with its emoky cbtmney, is about as bad for the eyes as can be imagined. The flickering light from a coal gas jet is but little better, | and even the jelectric light, brilliant as jt usually is, has an unsteadiness due to variations in power, and a glare peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves of sight. The comparatively' new illuminant acetylene gas produces as nearly perfect an artificial light as has yet been found. It gives a clear white', unwavering light, very brilliant, yet perfectly soft, and so nearly like the < rays of the sun that even colors ap- i pear as in daylight. j VrtrtnnntpTv npptvlpnp is vprv pasilv ( and cheaply produced, and the simple t apparatus necessary can be purchased 1 and installed in any home at a very < moderate cost, and the acetylene can 1 be piped to convenient points in the i house where a light is needed. It is j then lighted and extinguished and used 1 exactly like common city gas. < Acetylene is rapidly coming into s common use in homes, churches, t schools and institutions of all kinds, < and it is reasonable to expect that as a its use in the home increases, there i will be fewer defective eyes, particu- f larly among children. Foor eyesight i and the many ills resulting therefrom < will undoubtedly be much reduced by i the use of this new illuminant i t iN DEATH AS IN LIFE. ] c Bodies In Cemetery Grouped Accord* Ing to Religious Affiliations.
