 DID YOU EVER KNOW That Improper Food Often Causes the
 Liquor Habit?

It's a great proposition to get rld oI a taste for liquor by changing food.
 About three years ago, writes man from Lowry City, Mo, my appe- tite failed me and my food disagreed with me. I got weak and nervous and felt dull and entirely unfit for business; then like a fool ! went to taking liquor to stimulate an appetite. For a time that seemed to help and 1 congratulated myself on finding so simple a remedy. But. alas. I had to take more and more all the time until l got so that | could not get along without the whisky, and I was in a pitiable condition.
 I tried to quit but that seemed i'm possible as I needed nouIishment and my stomach rejected food and the more whisky I drank the worse got. I kept fighting this battle for more than two years and almost gave up all hope. | noticed an advertisement of Gf- pc Nuts in the paper and concluded to try it. I found 1 could eat Grape Nuts with d relish and it was the first food 1 that I found nourished me in a long | time Soon my stomach trouble stopped my appetite increased, the craving l thirst relaxed until II desire for drink
 was gone. I have used Grape-NutS | constantly for over a year ana I an
 now strong and robust; entirely cure
 from drink and able to work hard every
 day. My gratitude for Grape-Nuts i: l unspeakable as it has saved my lift

Hay has frequently been cut here in De- | cember. On Monday the men employed at w J. Murphys ranch near Scotts- | dale cut ten or twelve acres of alfalfa putting up very nice little hay crop.
