WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Personal Experience Counted In Her
Indorsement of New Pastor
A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose a
pastor The last three ministers had
been persona non grata with most of
the parishioners and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking There was one
woman of experience whose voice car-
ried particular weight Preacher after
preacher was Invited to the pulpit for
a trial sermon and all in the final
analysis were rejected by the female
arbiter At last there came along a
possible incumbent who met with her
approval
“The reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said "is because he
has the right kind of a wife for a
minister She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and
doesn’t Bass back I found out a long
while ago — shortly' after I was mar-
ried myself in fact — that a man who
hasn’t that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere A minister
vents it on his congregation That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher This one will be all right
We won’t hear a peep out of him”
And upon' that unique recommenda-
tion the congregation really did give
the man a call According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
were doing well The wife has not
been heard from
Nut Growing Industry of the South
‘‘Nut growing Is a icomparatively
new Industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf Btates but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section” said J Z Reid a
prosperous planter of Florida ‘‘The
most popular nut is the pecan and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment of systematic methods of
grading It and cracking it with ma-
chinery operated by steam or electric
power This makes possible the mar-
keting of the meats of the nut ready
for use
“The demand is always much great-
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
put raising Industry It is not un-
common for a tree to bear as high as
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from 60 to 70
cents a pound It does not require
much figuring to show that the pecan
orchards which abound in soine sec-
tions are paying investments"
WHAT WAS IT
The Woman Feared 7
What a comfort to find it is not "the
awful thing” feared but only chronic
indigestion which proper food can re-
lieve ' ’
A woman In Ohio says:
"I was troubled for years with Indi-
gestion and chronic constipation At
times I would have such a gnawing
in my Stomach that I actually feared
I had a— I dislike to write or even
think of what I feared
"Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts
I decided to try it After a abort time
I was satisfied tbe trouble was not
the awful thing I feared but was still
bad enough However I was relieved
of a bad case of dyspepsia by chang-
ing from improper food tojGrape-Nuts
"Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a dock I had also
noticed before I began to eat Grape-'
Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of
where I put little things about the
house which was very annoying
"But since the digestive prganshave
become strong from eating Grape-
Nuts my memory fa good and my
mind as dear as when I was youag

"I got good news for you— very
good news!” the young lawyer said
grasping the man's band
"Did the governor— ta It a pardon!"
the man exclaimed Joyously
"Well no The fact la tbe governor
refuses to Interfere But an uncle of
yours has died and left you $200 and
yon will have the satisfaction of know-
