A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of
abuse but-sometimes it will surely rebel
and demand the proper food in place of
the pasty, starchy greasy stuff on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to feed Grape Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
wears ago I was very ill with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. l laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that l could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind Of food and was
SO weak and emaciated after four
months of this starvation that my
daughter could easily lift me from bed
and put me i'm my chair But weak as
my stomach was, it accepted and rel
ished and digested Grape-Nuts with
out any difficulty the irst time that
wonderful food was tried.
MY doctor told me that [ would have
ia eat Grape Nuts, which was pre-
digested, ana although ] felt certain I
could not keep the food on my stomach
7 had to make the trial and it was a
most complete success. ! am now
strong and in better health than for a
great many years and 1 am gradually
growing still stronger, l rely OIL Grape
Nuts for most of the nourishments
that / ret. The results have certainly
been wonderful in my case, and prove
that no stomach is so weak IT VIII not
digest Grape-Nuts

crane Nuts I was afraid / would have
to stop feeding them to him. but /

Last Friday. Charles Roberas, a
farmer. who lives on the Shirley road

to clear away from one of his fields. Ir
the parched condition of everything the
fire quickly spread to the surrounding
forest in all directions.

to check the advance towards the two
sections of the town. Sunday, a larger
