FRESH AT NIGHT
If One Uses the Right Kind of Food.
If by proper selection of food one
can feel strong and fresh at the end
of a day's work, it is worth while to
know the kind of food that will pro-
duce this result.
A schoolteacher in the West says
in this connection: '
"At the time I commenced the use
of Grape -Nuts my health was so poor
,that I thought I would have to give
up my work altogether. I was rapid-
ly losing in weight, had little appetite,
was nervous and sleepless, and exper-
ienced almost constantly a feeling of
exhaustion.
"I tried various remedies without
good results; then I, determined to
give particular, attention to myfood,.
and, have learned 'something of the
properties of Grape-Nuts»for rebuild-
ing, body, brain and nerves.
"Since using Grape -Nuts ,I have
made a constant and rapid improve-
ment in health, in spite of the fact'
that all this -time- I have been en-
gaged. in , strenuous . and : exacting
work.
"I have gained twelve pounds .in
weight and have a good appetite, my
-nerves are steady and `I sleep 'sound.
I have such strength and reserve force
that I feel almost as strong,and fresh
at the close of a day's work as at the
beginning.
"Before using Grape -Nuts I was
troubled much with weak eyes, but 'as
'my vitality increased'the eyes became I
stronger.
,"I never heard of another food as
nutritious and economical as Grape -
Nuts." _ k

THE PREACHER'S FRUIT.
Peaches Cost Less Per Quart Than
Any Other Fruit. ,mr.•
Once upon a time—you see f know
how to begina story in the right way
—a .barefoot boy danced by the road-
side and shouted gleefully, writes Pe-
ter McArthur. It was in Canada, back
in the nineteenth century, in the pio-
neer days. The little boy was healthy
and freckled, and what he lacked
clothes he made up in the kind of
body one should have inside of clothes;
And he was very, very happy. In
fact he was so happy that -a passing
friend stopped to ask him the cause
of it all.
"Hurray!" shouted he of the'
freckles.
"Why so' happy?" asked the friend.
"The preacher is ' coming to din-
ner!",:;
"I didn`t know you were soofond of
him." •
"I aint, but whenever the preacher
comes to dinner we always have
peach preserves."
It really is not much of a stery,.
and I am giving it on account of its
arch -e -o -log -i -cal interest, and not be-
cause it is s� very funny. It dates
back to the days when people' merely
enew: that peaches ,are the best of
fruits and had not discovered that
Canada is the best place to raises the
very best of them. The woman who
was fortunate enough ,to get some
rom a sheltered orchard or from "a
one tree that was' ,so fortunately"
ituated that it escaped the frost, put
up a few to have for such special
ccasions as the visit of the preacher.
In those- days , the minister 'was - a;
Ever read the above letter ? A now
cue appears from time t� time. They o
are genuine, ,true, and full of htaivan
interest:
!much more welcome visitor on the•
farm than the agent of get rich -quick endic tis Prevented
concerns and mining , promoters, and
there is amoral to that if I only had Life Lengthened
time to work it out. Because peaches
weresaved for such extra special oc-
Health Maintained
casions `a tradition has , grown up
about them in many parts of the
country. Some housewives, otherwise
very bright and a credit to the far-
mers' institutes to which they belong,
consider it an extravagance to pre-
serve peaches unless they get them at
sacrifice prices. Yet these same wo-
men will pay from ten to fifteen cents
a quark for 6urrants and berries that
need far more sugar to do them up
than the already sweet peaches. As
peaches usually come in eleven -quart
baskets, you will find if you divide the
price by eleven, that peaches post less
per quart than any other fruit. But
because they were once so great a
luxury housewives are slow to realize;
that they should have more of them
than of any kind of fruit, for they are
both the cheapest and the best. There
is no reason why every farmer's wife-.
in the districts where peach5s cannot
be grown should not buy them as free-
ly as they do other fruits and have
them not only when the preacher
comes to dinner, but when the boys
and; girls come home from the city,
and at all other times when they want
to have something luxurious on.. the
table.
Also it should be remembered that
for eating from the hand the peach is
the best fruit of all, but you should
use for this purpose only the peaches
that you buy in the full light of day.
Once upon a time, or, perhaps I should
say, "Once upon mother time," a
newly arrived Irishman went out with
a friend to steal peaches. It was very
dark, and Pat had been told to grope
along the branches for the fruit.
Presently he whispered, "Weikel," His
friend answered "Phwat!" "Has
paiches got legs?" "Naw," "Then,
begobs, I've swallowed a straddle
bug."

Henry Steel, head of the great Eng-

outside trade circles as the man who
laid. King Edward, then Prince of
Wales, $5,000 to a carrot against a
horse atthe Epsom races. The Prince
lost and paid with a. carrot formed of
coral mounted in gold:
Steel and his partner, Peech, form-
ed the greatest firm of bookmakers on
the English turf 50 years ago. The
fortune which they made on the race-
track enabled them to enter the iron
and steel industry as pioneers in 1875.
Steel died at the age of 83.

Tea on the Battlefield. "
Tea suddenly becomes one of the
items of war material, and the price
has gone up in the primary market
about thirty per cent., with prospects
of a real shortdge and still further
advances in price. When warring
armies start buying tea for rations
on the field with its attendant great
waste, and the entire Russian people
are suddenly deprived of vodka and
turned to tea, then it can scarcely
be surprising that such a fluctuation
should occur in the price of tea.
Messrs. Henderson & Co.'s latest
monthly circular issued from Ceylon
and just to hand states: "A feature
of the market was the record -prices
paid for flavory teas. The oldest
members of the tea trade in Ceylon
could not. remember such high prices
being realized before."
WONDERFUL RUINS.
Famous Citadel of the Black King,
Christian.
On the summit of a Haitian mount-
ain over four thousand feet - high
stand the wonderful ruins of the great
citadel of La Ferriere. It was built
by . the black king, Christian. Some
of the walls' are eight feet` high, six-
teen feet thick and heavy batteries
of fifty-six and thirty-two, pound guns
are in position. They were laid >- to
guard every approach of ` what was
intended' to ` be the last asylum of
Haitian independence. -
Springs of water still exist in the
interiorand there were secret subter-
ranean passages and chambers for
holding hoarded treasures, many of
which are, supposed still to be hidden
there. Although partially' destroyed'
by the.earthquake in 1842, which de-
molished nearly all of the important
buildings yin: the country,the colossal
ruins of the citadel still attest • the
gigantic works and - the world : still
wonders how the material for the ::con-
struction and armament was raised to
the top of the mountain.
Doctors say if people kept their
bowels in proper order there would be
no such disease on record as appendi-
citis. It is due solely to neglect, and
is therefore preventable. If you have
constipation, bad breath or headache
you need medicine right away. The
moment agou suspect your bowels are
clogged you should take Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills, the smoothest regulator of
them all. They move the bowels and
cleanse the liver so smoothly you
scarcely ltotice the effect. But you
get the action just the same, Taken
at night you wake up next morning,
clear headed, hungry, rested, ener-
getic, feeling like a different nian,
Why don't yo'u spend a quarter to -da
and try Dr. Hamilton's Pills. The

THE GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
When They All Wore Their Hats in
the Presence of the King.
A grandee of Spain enjoys the pri-
vilege, granted him many hundreds of
years ago, of remaining "covered" in
the presence of his sovereign.' This
custom dates from the period when,
according to the theory then held, the
king was "the first among equals."
The ancient formula always at the
coronation of kings of old Spain was:
"We, your equals, choose you to
reign over us," And the king :ass
sented in this declaration of his no-
bles.
There was a time when all gran-
dees of Spain wore their hats in the
presence of the king, but in time the
idea of caste began to prevail, even
among the grandees, with the result
that they were eventually divided into
three classes, and these classes were
distinguished by the hat etiquette,
The first class entered ,the royal
presence covered, and, after an ad-
vance of a few steps, put on their
hats, unbidden by the king ,and the
third class also entered uncovered but
The excellent patriotic work of th
File Indians at Balearros, Sask., con
Virtues, and the Canadian I'acifi
through Mr. W. R. Baker, the Score
tary of the Company, has receiVed
another encouraging report. It was
in October last year that thirty-three
of these calonists subscribed $502.10
to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer
giving a certain number of bushels of
grain, which when sold amounted to
the above sum. During the winter
that followed, the now famous File
Indian Brass Band gave concerts,
thereby raising another $212,00, which.
went to the Belgian Relief Fund, and
since March last, the Red Cross
Branch of this Colony has raised
$500.00 and endowed a bed in Clive -
den Hospital. The young Indian wo-
men have done a great deal of knit-
ting and sowing. - The branch has .a
membership of 86, while there are
only one hundred and sixty souls --
thirty-eight men, twenty-six women
and ninety-six children—in the colony.
The patriotism of these Indians does
not stop here. Two young men went
to the front with the second contin-
gent, and six more are going with the
next. The File Indians lay claim to
having the oldest Red Cross Society
member in the British Empire in the
person of Pointed Cap. This cele-
brated character says that he is the
ripe old age of 107, and on November
12th next will attain his 108th year.
He is now an "associate member" of
the Red Cross, and proudly wears on
his heart the little red cross, the em-
blem of the society. It is quite pos-
sible that in addition to the six latest
recroits•for the front, older members
of the colony will go, as one man who
is the father of nine children has ex-
pressed his intention of so doing, and
his wife says "I will not stop him."
Despite the fact that a hailstorm last
month destroyed all the crops in the
colony, the File Indians are not down-
hearted, and have made arrangements
to continue their good work during
the coming winter months to aid the
boys across the sea, thus showing a
patriotism worthy of a king.
