Quickly Renovates the En-
tire Body.

Improper food is responsible for many
ailments of humanity.
When one finds sickness impending
IL is safer TO make radical change in
the food than to go to self dragging.
Your physician wcnid 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 completely,
Try for example for 10 days the fol-
lowing breakfast: A little fruit Qittle if
any sugar., dish of Grape-Nuts Ia
famous breakfast foodl and cream, cup
of Postum Cereal Food Coffee and MOTH
ing 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.
IL is certainly worth trial ii active
good health is worth anything.

deserted to-day. and there seemed to be
an absolute lack Of buying demand, so
that even insignificant offerings carried
the level Of prices downwnrds. The few
professional traders present were dis
posed to sell stocks In anticipation OF
the unfavorable bank statement and on
the general principle that prices Will
yield In dull market. An idea OF the
narrowness OF the market Is given by
the fact that during the first hour there
were Just two transactions recorded In
st. Paul. which was the more notable
because of Its good statement OF gross
earnings for the second week In June.

has been persisted In for the last few

those stocks were allowed to drift
