cA-CHoos AND cA-CHEEs

Waterbury is undergoing an epidemic of hay-fever colds at the present time, which drown much of the joy and the jealousy of the political situation in a chorus of ca-choos and ca-chees. It differs from the influenza in most cases in affecting the throat and head, leav- ing the lower portions of the body un- assailed. Its favorite way of starting business is by a sore throat whicn reaches and extends up through the nose, ears and brains so that in the last stages the sufferer feels as though his head was the principal place of bus- ness of the influenza trust. The vic tim usually survives and that Is the quieting thing about the disease. Every person in three is supposed to have the cold All the doctors report mans cases of it. Some of them attribute it to the changes in the weather. Oth- CTS believe that it is microbe.-Water- bury American

"When first read of the remarka ble effects of GrapeNuts Food, I deter mined to secure some,' says Mrs. c. w. Aldridge of Salisbury, Mo. At that time there was none kept in this town, but my husband ordered some from a Chicago traveller.
 I had been greatly afflicted with sud- den attacks of cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies and physicians but obtained only tenn porary relief. As soon as l began to use the new food the cramps disap- peared and have never reappeared.
 My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by Contin- uing the food, that trouble has disap- peared entirely. I am to-day perfect 1y we'll, can eat anything and every thing I wish, without paying the pen alty that I used to. We could not, and would not, keep house without Grape-Nuts.
 My husband was so delighted with the benefits I received that he has been recommending Grape-Nuts to his customers and has built up very large trade on the food. He sells them by the case to most of the leading phy- slcians of the county, who prescribe Grape-Nuts very generally. There is some satisfaction in using a really sci sntifcally prepared fooo-'
