LIKE a firecracker that smolders
quietly and finally explodes
long after tho rest of the bunch
have banged and sizzed their
way into oblivion, comes tardily the
story of tho man to whom we owe
our Fourth of July. Those who have
not heard tho story and who endeavor
to recall somo chaptor of American
history telling of this great man will
search their memories in vain. So
obacuro has he remained in the an-
nals of those times that even his
name is unknown; thero is only ono
glimpse of him, as a rider hurrying
through tho night with a message that
was to bring us our Glorious Fourth.
Tho Chicago Post tells tho story:
"Tho friends of a Declaration of In-
dependence were afrajjl that they
might not bo In a majority in the great
Philadelphia gathering. It Is affirmed
that they counted noses and were fear-
ful that they would fall short by ono
or two votes. Then it was that they
determined to send a messenger into
Delaware to bring back an absent dele-
gate who It was known would vote
right if ho were present. They looked
for a hard rider with tho cause at
heart, a man who would ride tho race
for liberty and count fatigue a pleas-
ure. They found him in a man whose
name is unknown to posterity, but who
deserves well of it.
"Tho unknown rode on his mission.
Ho tore away, as one of his contempo-
raries bore witness, as if the devil
wero at his heels. Ho broke existing
records and sent tho absent delegate
back in a hot hurry and in time to
vote. Tho Declaration debates and
proceedings w ere socret, but there was
a story well believed that the resolu-
tion carried by one vote. We have ,
Paul Revero's ride in living verso, but
no one has sung the song of the un- 1
known rider, 'The Man Who .Made 1
the Fourth.'
"Hero's to him!"
ment becomes destructive of these
ends It is tho right of tho people to
alter or to abolish it, and to Institute
new government, laying its founda-
tion on such principles and organiz-
ing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to affect
their safety and happiness."
Interest in these propositions used
to be cultivated In various ways, part-
ly as a pleasure, partly as a duty. To-
day tho words aro unfamiliar, the flag
I itself Is infrequently seen, and Lexing
i ton. Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Valley
Forge, Trenton, Savannah, Cowpens,
j King's Mountain and Yorktown are
| dimly remembered.
Yet we may be sure that of the mul-
titudes of recent arrivals In the
United States thero are many whose
steps have been guided by the ideals,
symbols and names which to us are
j vague or forgotten. The valuable
| things that young Europe is learning
| here are acquired not from young
j America, but from old America. The
j landmarks of liberty which young
America fails to see or ignores aro
j still plain enough to the young Ej
J rope transplanted into America,
j There aro fading emblems in the
| case of young Europe also, but they
aro of crowns and coronets, thrones
and scepters, divine right and priv-
ilege, a shackled press and stl'Ied
speech. To thoso who hunger uid
thirst for liberty and opportunity the
old American emblems blazo afar. To
those who are surfeited with liborty
or unappreciatlve of it they fade and
die.

In this Matter
of Health
one is either with the winners
or with the losers.
It's largely a question of
right eating — right food. For
sound health one must cut out
rich, indigestible foods and
choose those that are known
to contain the elements that
build sturdy bodies and keen
brains.
Grape-Nuts
is a wonderfully balanced
food, made from whole wheat
and barley. It contains all 'he
nutriment of the grain, includ-
ing the mineral phosphates,
indispensable in Nature's plan
for body and brain rebuilding.
Grape-Nuts is a concen-
trated food, easy to digest.
It is economical, has delicious
flavor, comes ready to eat,
and has helped thousands in
the winning class.
