Our Father, great and good Jehovah, Who’s own Son to mortals came, And whom saints adore in heaven, Hallowed be Thy holy name. Now we lowly kneel before Thee, As we pray, “Thy kingdom come,” And we humbly beg for mercy As we say, “Thy will be done.” And forgive us, Lord, our errors, And transgressions of Thy laws, .As we too forgive our brothers, Who offend us without cause. Lead us all from out temptation, Lest we fall beside the way, Bui deliver us from evil, Save us for the perfect “Day”. To Thy hand all power and glory, Angels round Thy throne attend, And forever In Thy kingdom, We adore Thee, Lord, Amen.

PEOPLE TODAY ARE BETTER FED THAN WERE ANCIENTS So Declares Italian Investigator Who Has Been Making Study of Foods. When all the world la complaining of what It costs to buy a good dinner, as compared to the days before the war, an Italian Investigator has com* forward with the statement that never before have the [>eople been aa well fed as at present. Signor I'edraz/.oll baa analyzed th* descriptions. In old writings, of the hundred-course banquets of the Mid dle ages, and the recitals of whole cows prepared for the feastera. H* finds undoubted exaggeration, and aays that when such things did hap pen so many people sat down to the meal that each Individual portion wa* very small. Such dinners also were given only In >ears of plenty, but more numerous than these were the lean years. Then the people were thin and pale, and at this time orig inated the expression, “Tighten up your belt.” The Seventeenth century was the golden age for food. During these years potatoes, tc-a, chocolate and cof fee were Introduced Into Europe. Rome claims to lie the birthplace of “Cafe au lalt." Ambulant Creeks used to sell coffee from buckets In the streets of Romo. The Romans Immediately used thl* for mixing with milk, and so popular proved the drtnl that It soon spread to the whole world. The first coffee house to be opened In Rome was. In fact, called “II caffp greco," and It may still he seen In the picturesque Via Condottl. An Idea of how bad was the food In Middle ages may be had from tb* writings of Tasxnal, In whose ver*e various menus are described. When the food was not of poor quality In Itself, the predominant note In Its preparation was not with regard to taste, but to display. Spices also wers very much In evidence, and the dishes often were so highly seasoned as to be neither wholesome nor agreeable. 8lgnor Pedrazzoli prepared • dish ac cording to an old recipe, hnt the r* ault was Impossible. No one coaid eat It, and It was medically unwhole some. READ WHAT YOUR FRIENDS have to say of what Madam E. Hackley l^awson ACME HAIR GROWER has done for them. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 18, 1922. Enough can not be said of Madam E. Hackley Lawson’s wonderful Hair Grower. I was very much discouraged with the many hair oils until better than one year ago I began Madam Lawson’s treatment which has proven a success, for my hair was then three inches long and breaking harsh and falling with an itching scalp.
