Wife Made Wise Change in Food.
Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trou.
BILE,
woman says:
My husband had dyspepsia when
we We're married and had suffered
from 1t for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
II thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so. and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming. his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
"My friend, Mrs. -, OF
Vicksburg my former home had be-
come nervous wreck also from dys-
oepsia. Medicines had no effect,
neither did travel help her. On my
last visit home, some months ago, 1
persuaded her to use GrapeNuts food
She was in despair. and consented.
She stuck to it until it restored her
health so completely that she is now
the most enthusiastic friend of Grape
Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it
with cream or dry. just as it comes
from the package-keeps it in her
room and eats it whenever she feels
like it.
II began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself, when my baby was months
old. and l don't know what l should
have done without it. My appetite
was gone, l was weak and nervous
and afforded but very little nourish-
ment for the child. The Grape Nuts
food, of which soon grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as mother could wish. He
is years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself / wish every tired
young mother knew of the good that
Grape Nuts would do her."

Car of Russia in the splendor of his
palaces TSarkOe, near st. Peters
burg. where the emperor has been
STAYING recently, has park around it
which is eighteen miles in circumfer-

One room of the palace has walls of
lapis laZuli and a floor of ebony iEiaid
with mother of pearl. Another has
walls of amber curiousy carved, and
the walls of a third are laid thick with
gold.
In the throne room of the palace Of
the Shah of Persia there is Il carpet so
thickly soWn with pearls That the text

Near it is the throne of carved wood,

Near the throne stands a huge silver
vase set with pearls and turquoises,
but, strange TO say alongside of it
stands q cheap European painted urn,
such as can be bought anywhere for a
dollar.
The shah has curious ideas about
the value of things, and on the walls of
one room q painting by one of the old
masters hangs side by side with a
gaudy poster advertising a dealer in
fish hooks.
And everywhere about the palace are
cats The Shah has a specimen of
every kind of cat of which he has ever
heard. and there is hardly a country
that is not represented in the feline
army which it is the pleasure of the
Persian ruler to maintain
To take care of this assemblage of
cats there is a corps of We'll paid Off

sinia is Il large building, built like a
Swiss chalet, with a red tiled roof and
whtewashed walls. 1t is very ordi-
nary affair. and is surrounded by huts
and other inferior buildings. There is
nothing splendid about the palace or
its furnishing and, indeed, ii would be
considered as quite lacking in every
thing except size as residence fer an
American of moderate means.
But ii is the palace of an emperor,
nevertheless. and of a powerful one.
