"Whereas, It is evident that the eduWHEN
DINNER COMES.
One Ought to Have a Good Appetite.
A good appetite is the best sauce. It
goes a long way toward Helping in tne
digestive process, and that is absolutely
essential to health and strength.
Many persons have found that GrapeNuts
food is not only nourishing but is a
gieat appetizer. Even children like the
taste of it and grow strong and rosy from
its use.
It is especially the food to make a weak
stomach strong and create an appetite for
dinner.
"I am 57 years old," writes a Tennessee
grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach
from childhood. By great care as
to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree
vi ueann, dut. never iouna anyming 10
equal Grape-Nuts as a standby.
"When I have no appetite for breakfast
and just eat to keep up my strength, I
take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with
good rich milk, and when dinner comes
I am hungry. While if I go without any
breakfast I never feel like eating dinner.
Grape-Nuts for breakfast seems to
make a healthy appetite for dinner.
"My little 13-months-old grandson had
been very sick with stomach trouble during
the nast summer, and finally we put
him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is growing
plump and well. When asked if he wants
his nurse or Grape-Nuts, he brightens up
and points to the cupboard. He was no
trouble to wean at all?thanks to GrapeNuts."

cational institutions connected with the
Reformed and Presbyterian Churches are
demanding adequate material for the instruction
of their students in the English

Holding the Presbyterian System, respectfully
recommend to the publishing
Boards of the several churches in the
Council, to take immediate steps for the
preparation and publication of suitable
text-books on the English Bible for use
in academies and colleges."
Messrs. Miller, Phillips, Sands and Alexander
Henry were appointed a committee
to bring this subject to the attention
of the publishing departments of the sev
erai cnurcnes and to offer their services
as the same may be needed to assist in
carrying out the object set forth in this
resolution.
The great importance of unity of spirit
and action in prosecuting the work of
the churches in behalf of Presbyterian
students in State Universities was duly
recognized, and it was agreed that, in
connection with work undertaken with
all such institutions of learning, due efforts
shall be made to unite all the Reformed
Churches represented at such institutions
in the support of some one
student pastor, or, if expedient, professor
or teacher of the Bibls in such undenominational
schools.
Dr. Darby was instructed to convey to
the conference on "Work Among Colored
People" to be held at Pittsburg, January
18th, the opinion of this Conference that
there is urgent need for suitable literature
for the Sunday-schools and homes
of the negroes, particularly in the South,
and that they be requested to report to
this conference any action upon this subject
or on other educational matters relating
to the work of the constituent
churches.
The subject of Publicity concerning
matters pertaining to the Reformed
Churches was considered at length, but
no definite action was taken, and the
matter was referred, through the Executive
Committee of the Council, to the
next meeting of the Council, to be held
at Louisville, Ky., Marcn 15tn.
In recognition of the importance and
far-reaching effects of the departments
of the work of the constituent churches
represented by this conference, it was
agreed that the Council be requested to
petition the Supreme Judicatories of the
respective churches to authorize the holding
of such a conference annually.
