Such an arrangement could not be made

the receptacle provided at the Capitol is
still in condition to receive the casket, it

A COMMON TROUBLE.
Thousands Suffer From 1t without Know
ing Its Real Character

ing Its Real Chara cter.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
sia. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame, are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicines
and spring remedies; the real seat of
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach
is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ:
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others, the kidneys are
affected; in others, the bowels are
troubled, with loss of flesh and apne
lite, with the accumulation Of gas. sour
risings and heartburn

THE FAMOUS FOOD
A FOOD FACT,

The food Grape-Nuts positively does

it is true; and the everyday user of
