Bryan made his debut gs a preacher on Sunday, filling®" the pulpit at the Normal Methodist church at the morn- ing services. A very large crowd was in attendance. He took up the Ser- mon on the Mount, with his text as the words : "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall sce God." He declared his belief that religion consisted more in kindness to and consideration for fellow men, more in charity for others and in personal purity than in dogma, ceremony or creed, He deplored the tendency to higher criticism of the scriptures and the rejection of parts of it because one couldn't understand. He declar- ch that he found daily more mysteries in life than were hound up within the covers of the Bibl®. He believed the higher wisdom lay in accepting the good we understand, and hope for understanding later of that we don't. Hie insisted that no man could com- mand real success in the world unless he possessed an ideal, mor could he be of real value to the world so long as selfishness and low concep- tions of his duty --to himself and others dominated his life and con- duet.

Beef is classed as one of the "nitro geaous foods." The "strenmous life" in variable climates calls for a certain amount of nitrogenous food. But the whole wheat grain is also rich in ni trogen. The nitrates and phosphates are mostly in the outer coats of the wheat kernel. These are largely dis- carded in the making of white flour. In the making of the shredded whole wheat products, the nitrates as well as the phosphates of the whole wheat grain are preserved in their most di. gestible form.
