"Ono lucky day we tried Grape- Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it scorned as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape- mm for breakfast and supper, and I -think he would have liked the food for dinner. “A friend has two children who were formerly “meted with rickets. I was ttat1stled that the disease was kaused by lack of proper nourishment. Tho children showed it. So I urged lim- to me Grape-Nuts as an experi- Iment, and the result was almost magical. "They continued the food. and to- [day both children are as well and strong as any children in this city, and, of course, my friend is n firm bdivver in Grape-Nuts. for she has the evidence before her eyes every any."

'If We hold together, and hold on, victory must be ours. The German hope depends wholly on our falling out with each other or losing heart, because the struggle is long and grim. No objection can be taken to the critic who points to the gravity A lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak diges- tion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was a weak little chap. and We Were puzzled to know what to feed him on. In consequence of crossing the stream he overthrew the Saxons. He then built the town, which afterwards became the scene of imperial corona- tions, and, later, of great commercial importance. Children's taste is ofttimes more accurate, in ulccting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurate- ly through the chilgren. He was almost in despair when a doe, carrying a young one, sprang from n thicket in alarm, leaped into the stream, and swam over. Charle- magne followed the example, and crossed at the same place.

Has Germany Shot Her Bolt PUZZLE" quite in contrast to the class in which such ailments as ncrvous dis- eases, St. Titus' dance, "tc., we may consider unfortunate physical states through which the will is weakened and the individual becomes an easy prey to temptation from within or without. The main source of those physical conditions that bring about a weakened will and lead to stealing is pernicious set habits. Considera- tions of the same sort apply to any other causc of physical depletion; we can include tlu, wasting of any chronic disease. and particularly the result of poor hygiene. Cannot Resist Temptation. The boy who starts out in the morn- ing after having spent a night breath. ing air deficient in oxygen, for ex- ample, is much more prone to be a victim of temptations, to be easily led by bad companions, than is the indi- vidual who is in possession of full physical and mental strength. We by no means want to urge the conclusion, however, that the majority of delin- quents are smeering from atrociously bad physical conditions. Indeed, we observe that among children it is very aim the moat active ones who en- gage in pertain forms of stesling. Over and over we have seen cases of this kind where, particularly in boys, the forwardnest, of physiologi- cal conditions was responsible for their not acting as their fellows of the same age; the outcome has been that illicit adventures and satisfactions were sought. In such cases a great deal of care is needed; less, however, on account of stealing than because of other delinquencies. A free coun- try life with plenty of opportunity for physical exercise and normal adven- ture is highly desirable. His career curves as a text for one phase of our discussion; we have seen many others who present the same characteristics. Some of the earliest of this boy's impulses were toward adventure, and after dark he found the greatest chances for leading his wild life. Under his social circum- stances there can be little wonder that he began thieving--it is of inter- est to know that he frequently stole such material as would serve him for future adventure. For a long time he collected his plunder in hidden places, and as a last adventure stole a neighbor's horse and made off into the country with it, to begin a long journey toward the West. After we pointed out the es- :entiuls of the case, fortunately the father had discernment enough to rea- lize them, and though the boy had not finished his school life, he gave him, on a Western ranch, the opportunities that his nature imperatively craved. Why Children Steal. -- 1'0 the ardent restlessness of boy- hood, and sometimes girlhood, can be attributed not a few cases of stealing. Physiological phenomena are at the base of this. Often the so-called ner- vousness is nothing more or less than a developmental affair. General over- size, as in the above case, is by no means always present, but the effect may be caused by such a factor as premature puberty. It is hardly necessary to go through tho list of ailments which may cause dissatisfaction with the closed-in life A the ordinary schoolroom. We have found unvmia, general poor condi- tions of nourishment and development, defective hearing and many other ail- ments r 'sponsihle for this social and 1:ducatusnal misfortune.

He also urgcn that President Wilson take the initiative to bring about nc- gotiations tending to settle the Euro- pcan war. Society's Great Debt. In the second place, it is hard enough for the child with quite nor- mal tendencies to get along under bad physical conditions, while it is much harder for delinquents to make good in such circumstances. Lest one may say, in this connec- tion, as is often said, that delinquents are having too much done for them nowadays, that they are receiving too much study and attention, one might answer that society has a great deal at stake in the welfare of individuals who "how a tendency to prey on it. In summary we may state that de- linquent children should be studied from the physical standpoint in the first place to ascertain whether any physical conditions and peculiarities are causative of the delinquent ten- dencies. We are not going to find an excessive proportion of these, but such as are found may prove very impor- tant. But in this matter, as elsewhere, there are many varieties of indivi- duals, of factors and temptations. Physical weakness may be a source of trouble and must be reckoned with. Whatever can be done to check their tendencies should be done in full mea- sure and at the very earliest oppor- tunity. If physical conditions are in any way at fault they, if possible, should be remedied. Kmara'l Llnlment Cur" Iii-temper Ihstrtine Baron. Ei-Ichi S'hilrusawa. CHESEBROUGH MFG.

The body he the shape and size of a cherry, and the legs are set close. Dr. R. P. Cowles has given us a lovely picture of the ways of these creatures. They move about like diminutive armies, and, though the individuals seem to be scrambling along rather awkwardly. By approaching very slowly and carefully, Dr. Cowles was able to see what happened. When he got near enough and stamped with his foot, every crab dug into the sand with the logs of one side, and at the same time rotated its body so that it sank out of sight in a spiral. An ambitious man. familiar with the Spanish tongue, is offered enormous opportunities in the continent of South America. German success in the Spanish markets has been largely due to the fact that they have mas- tered the. language and conducted their business in it. Their catalogues are drawn up in Spanish, and their agents speak it well enough for all commercial purposes, though with the inevitable Teutonic accent. Six months' tuition should enable the average person to acquire a suf- fieient knowledge of Spanish for busi- ness purposes. It is quite simple, too, to compose an ordinary business let.. ter in this language at. the end of that period. One fact that makes the language so easy is that Spanish is pronounced exactly as it is spelt-there are no accents to trouble about, and the let- ter "h" is always silent. It is fur easier to learn than French, and a knowledge of Latin helps one con- siderahly.

The proposal recently put forward that Princess Mary, who is now of- tieially of "full age," should be made an honorary colonel in the British Army, is a reminder that there are quite a. number of Royal lady com- manders of regiments, each of whom is technically entitled'to wear the uniform of her corps, and to ride at its head upon occasion, should she desire to do so, says London Answers. The above are, of course, unpaid, but in the German Army there are no fewer than eight women colonels who draw small swords occasionally, and large salaries regularly; and in this connection it may he of interest to note that the late Queen Victoria was, at the time of her death, colonel-in- chief of the lst Prussian Dragoon Guards, the famous corps d'elite that suffered so heavily at our hands in the fighting round Ypres in Novem- ber last. The Empress of Russia, again, is in nominal command of no fewer than four regiments of cavalry, while most other European queens and queen- consox'ts hold similar positions in con- nection with one or more corps.
