Weak intestinal digestion causes ap-
pendicitis when much white bread, po-
tatoes. or partly cooked starchy ce-
reals are used. Grape-Nuts food will
prevent such troubles because the
starchy part of the cereals has been al
ready changed and predigested il
Grape-Nuts, therefore there is no over
taxing of the organs and no fermented
food to cause trouble.
Why not something new for dessert
something out of the ordinary! Sec

DO NOT DOSE kidneys

Proprietors of liquid kidney remedies
know how harmful the least alcohol is

gladly DO without it. but they can't.

"Embalmed army beef treated with

not poison the system as alcohol does
the kidneys. If everyone taking a
liquid kidney remedy knew that he was
dosing his kidneys with alcohol, how
many would continue to use liquid
preparations?
No one who has had a grammar
school education.
To obviate this defect Of liquid kid
ney remedies-a defect that makes
them worthless to practitioners and
dangerous to the public, DR.. Pettingill'S

No suspicion of alcohol attaches to the
Tablets. as none is required. Not only
are Kidney Wort Tablets guaranteed
to cure such serious diseases as Brights

washed it down with dipper Of water

was a redheaded young man with a

saw Craig coming up the gradual in

Half an hour later Pole drew rein in
a most isolated spot. near great yawn-
ing canyon from which came a roaring
sound of rushing water and clashing
winds. The sky overhead was blue
and cloudless; the air at that altitude
was crisp and rarefied, and held the
odor of spruce pine. With a laugh
Pole dismOunted. What eff | was to

Craig looked about in surprise. "Pd
