DIR. FED HIMSELF.

Found the Food That Saved His Life.
A good old family physician with a
life time. experience in saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and-but let him
tell his own story. For the first time
In my life OF 61 years l am impelled
to publicly testify to the value of a
largely advertised article and 1 GER
tainly would not pen these lines ex-
cept that, what seems to me a direct
act OF Providence, saved my life and
am impressed that il is a bounden duty
to make II known.
For 3 years 1 kept falling with
stomach and liver disorders until !
was reduced 70 lbs. from my normal
weight. When l got too low to treat
myself, 3 of my associate physicians
advised me TO put my house in order
for I would be quickly going the way
OF all mankind. Just about that time
l was put on diet of Grape-Nuts pre-
digested food. curlously enough II
quickly began to build me up, appetite
returned and in Is days I gained lbs.
That started my return to health and
really saved my life.
"A physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such a letter but in
this case am willing to declare il
from the housetops that the multiplied
thousands who are now suffering as I
did can find relief and health as cas-
lily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. If

NO CLUE TO MISS NEWKIRK
No Trace Found of Missing Girl After
Dragging Jersey Stream.

Salem. Jan. 2S.-The men under the
charge OF CHIEF of Police Waddington
continued to search the creek at Han

Anna Newkirk all day and late until last
evening without securing any clue.
The creek has been well dragged. and it
Is doubtful whether the men win be put

out. and it is hardly probable that the
body could have escaped the men yes
terday, unless it has moved a considerable

Nothing is left now for the officers to
work on excepting the theory that the
girl has either been murdered or spirited
away. and just what action they will
take along this line is not known.
