One good thing about modern college athletics is that the young fellows learn some sense about food and what it is really for.

A thing may taste good, but may not be the thing to make clear brains, elastic muscles and "good wind." A Mich, boy went in for sport, but soon found, that there was something wrong with his food. He writes: "During my school days I was fond of outdoor sport and excelled in nearly every game that I entered. It was just at my greatest growing period and I was springing up like a vine. "The food I ate soon proved to be unfit to sustain my growth and hard mental and physical work. I relished and ate pastry and used to eat Hot doughnouts by the half dozen.

I had starchy and greasy food pretty much all the time. "Soon I became so weak I would have to eat during the middle of the night before I could go to sloep (half starved because the undigested food eaten never became absorbed for strength.) "My body was calling for nourishment that it could not get from the kind of food I ate. My stomach pained me and specialists pronounced my case severe Intestinal Indigestion. "I tried everything imaginable In the way of different foods, but without avail. Finally I hit on Grape Nuts which I began to eat and relish, three times a day.

Soon my stomach and bowels" got all right and my nature) sleep returned. Now I am hard at1 work every day and sound In health, which I owe largely to the advice In "Tho Road to Wellvllle," the little book In pkgs."

Among these was a beautiful, large design of red roses that was not taken to the house, but delivered and left at the Plymouth church, where the funeral sermon was preached by Rev.

Williams, Dr. Beach and W. H. Davis represented the Knights of Pythias. Undertaker Price was in charge of the arrangements and interment was" made in Dunmore cemetery.

Rev. Dr. David Jones' sermon was listened to with the closest attention by the vast audience. His topic was "Death a Disperser," Nahum 2:1. He said in part: The historical setting of these words is briefly thus: The prophecy of Nahum, as the title asserts, is concerned with one subject alone.

It is the burden of Nineveh; it announces the fate of that evil city. In the Greek Bible it is placed immediately after Jonah, as being the complement of that book. Jonah had preached repentance to Nineveh, and the people had hearkened to his voice, but had soon relapsed into their old sins; and now Nahum pronounces their sentence. Their pride, oppression, idolatry, and especially their defiance of God's sovereignty, are severely rebuked, and the certain and complete destruction of the city is plainly announced. The prophet In this verse addresses Nineveh, and forewarns her of the siege she was about to undergo.

"He that dasheth in pieces is to come up before thy Reference is made here to the mixed army that invested Nineveh, and is so called from its effects on the inhabitants of the neighboring lands. I leave the context and borrow the words to be the basis of a few remarks on this mournful ocr casion. When I heard of the demise of our friend, Prof. David Owens, and when I was asked to conduct the service this afternoon I was at a loss as to the message I should bring to you, or the words that I should use as my Something You Should Know The loudest cry of every business man of today is: "Keep down expense." That's what the Hae mt Go4 Shoe does. We are out of the high rent dls.

trlct, we buy for cash and we take ad vantage of all discounts. Thus we are enabled to sell you shoes for less money than any other store can. We made the assertion and can prove it 'that we can save you from 25c. to 50c on every article purchased here. To show shops is our business.

In which we tak? great pride. Come in and be convinced. O'Malley Glynn, The Home Good Shoes, Mala nad Jacks, Grata Itamp. text. But these words aumeated themselves to mo as proper to picture the destruction that death has caused in the removal from our midst of one of the most popular, promising and pre eminently successful teachers of our city.

Medo Babylonish army, under the command of their leaders Cyaxares and Nabopolassar, never wrought a completer victory of the Assyrians than did death in this instance. "He that dasheth to pieces is come up before our face." has entered this home, snatched away from them the pride of their heart and the hope of their coming years, and has scattered devastation on all hands. It is like the result of a' Cyclone. The disperser, the dispeller, and "he that dasheth to pieces is to come before thy face." Death is cruel, Inasmuch as it puts to waste all our preparations. It strikes on the right and left, and thrusts his sword or sickle to cut down the most fragrant flowers, as well as the most worthless weeds.

He alms his arrows at the prince, as well as the pauper. If human reason were to direct the shafts of this enemy there would be numerous arguments in favor of sparing this, brother. From a human standpoint it seems a premature closing of a life full of romance. We had pictured for him many years of joy and usefulness in his chosen avocation. His physical structure led us to believe that he was endorsed with strength and power above the ordinary of the sons of men.

He was strongly and firmly built, so that we felt that there was no risk taken, to give him a lease for many years. But he that dasheth to pieces came up before our faces and snatched him away unawares to us. He was mentally equipped for valuable services. His talents were developed so as to be of service to the community. Father and mother had sacrificed to give him a training above the ordinary.

At the age of twenty he graduated from the Scranton High school. Then he went to Bloomsburg Normal school and passed all his examinations creditably, and at the close of his studies he was appointed a teacher in the. city schools. His success as educator proved his qualifications and Justified the faith our school controllers had in his ability. As student and teacher he proved himself possessed of a brilliant intellect.

He had a sound mind in what appeared unto us a magnificent body. He was worthy of living in this world and we think he could make the world better by his stay. Some people are not worthy of the least of God's mercies. Death is cruel because it destroys our plans and purposes. The painter Is taken away while his picture is on the easel, and his brush wet with paint.

The sculptor summoned yonder; while his hammer and chisel are yet warm. The essayist is cut down, while his manuscript Is not ready. The preacher Is called to an other sphere, while he is preparing a message, that shall not be delivered. The teacher and principal are put to a test, called to give up their stewardship, while they are drilling their pupils for their examination. Death is a cruel foe, because It dashes our hopes to the ground.

Our dear brother, after completing In a measure his training, after having being honored as a prophet in his own city, after having proffered an important position and accepted the same, after securing a helpmate, and provided a comfortable home for themselves, he. his wife, his parents, his sister, his relatives and acquaintances justified in looking forward to many years of happiness. But all these hopes are dashed to the ground, the castles that were built by your imagination are cut down. I am not able to explain why this should happen. But I am happy to know that you, who are in the deepest sorrow, and are overwhelmed by your disappointments, have no desire to put the blame on the Providence of God, God is love.

4 4 4" Our dear brother was aooarently strong, and when the foe came up to him his relatives and friends ciosen around him to protect, to assist human skill was summoned to help, doctors and professional nurses were Itj attendance, yet death prevailed against him, his countenance Is changed and is called away. "What man is he. that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? No. All flesh shall perish together and man shall turn again, into dust." But I rejoice to say that this Easter week reminds me of one In human body that has battled successfully with our foe. "Death Is swallowed up In victory." death, where is thy sting? grave where is victory." Our friend has left his Impressions on the hearts of his pupils.

Bellevue parents and children and teachers will never forget him. Tne otner aay I was in that district, and how ho rMi the loss even now. They referred with Joy to his success. In being a child in tne playground, in nlavlng marbles, ball ana snipping rope and a man In his school and class room. He has helped to shape the destiny of many future cltisens of Scranton.
