QUICKLY RENOVATES THE
ENTIRE BODY.

Improper food is responsible for
many ailments of humanity.
When one finds sickness impend-
ing it is safer to make radical change
in the food than to 60 to self drug
ging.
Your physician would tell you that
is true.
There are times when one needs the
advice and care of physician. but
for slight disorders the surest and
safest way is to change the food COM
pletely.
Try for example for 10 days the
following breakfast: A little fruit.
Qittle if any sugar.. a dish of
Grape Nuts, "a famous breakfast
food) and cream, cup of Post
um Cereal Food Coffee and
nothing more. Our word for it
you will feel distinct gain in health
and strength much as if the whole
body had been washed clean and put
in first-class order 1t is certainly
worth trial if active good health is
worth anything.

that the Central will extend their

through Illinois. The fact that the

SEVEN FAMOUS DAcoMAS.
This Celebrated Acrobatic Family With
Ringing Bros. Great Circus.

RingIIng Bros. Great Circus.
One of the many remarkable fea-
lures of Ringling Brothers Worlds
Greatest Shows this season is the
famous DaComa family of acrobats.
Among all the renowned acrobatic
troupes which the circus arena has
served to introduce to the show-lov-
ing people of America, there has
never been a company Of gymnasts
that could in any way compare with
these superb performers. They not
only achieve all the feats essayed by
other acrobatic celebrities. but they
also introduce displays of skill. dar-
ing and startling precision such as no
other performers or family of artists
have ever attempted. They defy all
the known laws of gravitation and
equilibrium, and they do it with
a skill and rapidity bewilderiug to the
spectators. The troupe comprises four
men and three ladies, each an accom-
plished artist, and all admirably en-
dowed by nature for the part taken in
the general performance. A striking
feature of the exhibition given by the
remarkable acrobats is the fact that
the gentlemen wear evening costume
and the ladies long skirts, and thus
attired turn single and double somer-
saults, on the ground or from shout
der to shoulder, and perform other
seemingly impossible feats, with an
ease and grace that stamps them as
the greatest acrobats in the world.
The amount of money paid weekly to
these great artists would pay the en-
tire operating expenses of many n
hny nf mo ha limo tor
tions, and yet the DaComas are only
one of many features of extraordinary
merit presented to the public by this
most liberal and lavish management.
The wonderful Fisher family of aerial

full and graceful of mid-air equilib
rists; Alvo, Boise and Pickard, the

Dan Leon, Arthur Crandall, Elena
Ryland, Julia Lowande, Olga Reed
and Nellie Fields, and many other
high-class, high-salaried equestrians,
acrobats, gymnasts, tum blers and
contortionists. The trained animal
features of the big show embrace the
famous O'Brien 6l-horse act. the NEST
remarkable exhibition of equine train
ing ever presented to the public; and
three troupes of marvelously-edu
elephants, including Herr Souder's
elephant brass band, Marchand's pugi-
listic pachyderms, and Lockhart's
elephant comedians. The show opens
with n beautiful spectacular carni-
val and closes with an historical
ly truthful revival of the ancient
Roman hippodrome. The free street
parade which precedes the perform
