SAVED BY BOOK OF SERMONS
Canadian Soldier Still Living Because

family settli-d on a farm In western
Canada. All through the war he has
carried "Spurgeoh's Sermons' in his
breast pocket, and occasionally he docs
some preaching, with his comrades in
arms ns the congregation.
Private O of the same regiment
lacked the upbringing and the book of
sermons, tut possesses a sense of

by the book.
Fearing that Mac was about to Im

and In a fair Imitation of his friend's

"Oh, dear friends, what a blessed
thing It was that our dear brother

Cheap and Good.
Some of the best foods ara the
cheapest There are carrots, salsify,
parsnips, lettuce and such stuff. They
have not advanced in price very much,
and they are the beat food that grows,
says the Columbus (O.) State Journal.
Carrots have the rarest combination
of food qualities of anything that
grows. It la so healthful that It Is
said a steady diet of It will cure many
distempers, parsnips are cheap, good,
wholesome. . Anybody who doesn't
like the taste of a parsnip has' his
palate put In wrong. Lettuce Is cheap
and a lettuce sandwich Is royal food.
Anyone who starves w hile these tiring

than In porterhouse steak or oyster

It might be said in retort that they

Preparing
for Tomorrow
Many people seem able
to drink coffee for a time
without apparent harm, but
when health disturbance,
even though slight, follows
coffee's use, it is wise to
investigate.
Thousands of homes,
where coffee was found to
disagree, have changed the
family table drink to
Instant
Postum
With improved health,
and it usually follows,
the change made becomes
a permanent one. It pays
to prepare for the health
of tomorrow.
