NEW METAL CAP hermetically FOLLOW THIS BREAD DIET PLAN “These all died in faith, not hav- . ing received the promise, God hav­ ing some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect.” Those words, originally, written about the heroes and martyrs of an- . cient Israel, I would apply today to . the men and women, who gave their lives in the World War and particu­ larly to those whose names are in­ scribed upon this cenotaph. They died in faith, not having re- ■ ceived the .promise. By the very fact that they laid down their lives they were unable to enjoy the fruits for which they suffered and endured, But were there, aie there, any such fruits? It is fashionable today in some quarters to speak of these lives as wasted, to say that all the pain and anguish, the life and treasure without purpose. Those who speak they do not know what they say( or else they are puny souls incapable of appreciating what has (been done for them. These men and women who died in France or in some other theatre of war gave their lives that liberty should not perish. Today we enjoy liberty. I know our liberty is not se­ cure. It is in danger. In many lands it has been suppressed. What £hen. Surely you realize that liberty can­ not be won once for all time. It must continually be fought for and defended. Each generation must preserve its own liberty and we can­ not passivly enjoy the fruit of vic­ tory achieved twenty years ago, But, this is the point. At a time when the liberty of three-quarters of .civilization was threatened these men were the willing sacrifice that preserved, that did not suffer be destroyed, who handed .it those wiho were coming after as a priceless heritage. 'Certainly we must fight ’for ty today. Many people have lost it. If we are not worthy we shall lose it. But while our liberty is endan­ gered we still have it to. defend. We are not in the position, the far more difficult position of having to win it from the beginning. iSo I sa.y there was fruit of sacri­ fice of these lives which we are com­ memorating today. They did die in vain. Moreover* the liberty we enjoy, liberty which is handed down to if. better than new-won liberty, even it we could gain it ourselves from the depth of oppression. For liberty is well-used only when it has ac­ quired a tradition. As you have of­ ten seen, people who win liberty .for the first time seldom use it wisely. Only erty. faith won we had to win new liberty. They have left us a tradition of liberty and in, that tradition there is the moderation in that ■it well. They did hot receive Then were they the losers? they no recompense. Listen to the rest of the sentence: "God having some better thing for us, that they without us, should not be made per­ fect.” There you have it. God has a better plan. His a plan in which we are involved, we who are still alive. It <is that we must carry further, we must complete the worn which they so gloriously commencea and when we do, then somehow they are still with us, are enjoying with us what our joint efforts have ac­ complished. You can see what that means. It means that the responsi­ bility lies squarely on our shoulders. So we turn hack to the question. Did these men and women die in vain? The answer is: Not unless we make their sacrifice of no avail. If we squander and waste what they won for us, then indeed they threw away their lives. But if we measure up, then we carry their work to glorious completion and from thd world they shall see and he with us. Colonel M’Rae said vast outpouring of were pointless ana Never believe it. that way, either it to onto them liber- not the •us, ancient liberty is the best lib- Therefore those who^ died in left us what we could not ihave for ourselves.

These bread proteins are combined with carbohydrates —that give you energy. If you want to reduce, and stay splendidly energetic, go on the Bread Diet. Many reducing diets are too extreme. They cut down too much on energy foods, making you weak and irritable. They often break down vital tissues—and should never be taken without a physician’s advice.' Everyone should know that bread itself is not fatten­ ing. If you are overweight, start the Bread Diet at once, and eat bread as your main energy food.

The pages of the big dailies are so full of mur­ der, thievery, immorality and sel- ishness that the better news is ob­ scured by glaring shatterings of the Decalogue. One puts the papers aside with' a feeling of depression and heartache that the world is full of terrible and unhappy things. Then picking up the papers that I record the happenings of the little towns around us, one gains renew­ ed 'faith in life. Here are set forth only that which uplifts a commun­ ity—-'the activities of the business men, the church items, the happy social gatherings of the people, farmers’ items and ail the thousand and one daily occurences up the simple annals of common people, who are foundation of this broad ours. iScandals are rarely published the country newspapers, but if it happens that decency demands the uglier details are omitted, given a kindly -touch that is widely different from the unfeeling public­ ity of the city press. The offenders may be our neighbors or people we have rubed elbows with all our lives. They are real human beings to their own people, while to the great city dailies they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hourly in their news mills. Sometimes people speak lightly of the country newspaper, but it is one of the most potent and uplift­ ing factors in our natural existence. —Boston Monitor that make the great really the country Without election or idea being taken, Cyril Hallam, of London Township, accused of attempted rob­ bery with violence, was remanded in county police court when he appear­ ed before Magistrate Hawkshaw.
