Elegant Train Service of the Nickel
Plate Road.

The thorough development and main
tenance of the up-to-date passenger serv-
ice of the Nickel Plate Road leaves moth
ing to be desired by people who travel.
Ladies travelling alone or accompanied by
children will appreciate the clean and
well-hghted coaches, made so by the corps
of colored porters in uniform who attend
the wants of both first and second-class
passengers without extra charge. The din
ing car service of the Nickel Plate Road
has become very popular with the patrons
on the line and one of pride to the man
agement. This service is conducted un.
der the system of individual club meals.
Carefully prepared menus are compiled
into booklets, containing suggestions for
breakfast, luncheon or supper that will
not cost you more than thirty-ive cents
and on up to one dollar, which is the
limit, hence the disbursement may wait
for the appetite. Meals are also served
"a la Carte" AS no excess fare is charged
on any train, it will be to your advantage
to purchase your tickets via the Nickel
Plate Route, where rates are lower than
via any other line.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to DO any
good then is the time to make turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping a hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number of years / followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from 2O5 to 16O pounds.
''Therewas little relish in any food and
none of it seemed to do me any good. 1t
seemed the more I ate the poorer got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much had eaten.
Then l commenced a fair trial of
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
the next meal, with no sensations of
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my Improvement
has been so great all the others in my
family have taken up the use of Grape
Nuts with complete satisfaction and
much Improvement in health and brain

he observed in his most sententious man

cause they conceived that they had the
superiority i'll arms of precision; they had
the chassepot and they had the mitrall-
