GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount Of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stom-
ach' | was actually so nervous that
l could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. | doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
"My physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and | tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none Of them agreed
with me. I was almost discouraged,
and when l tried Grape-Nuts l did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad I am that l tried it.
feel like a new person, I have gain
ed in weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. l feel so strong
again that | am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, l never notice noW, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process Of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate Of potash con.
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filing in the thou.
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and bod, Grape-Nuts food Is q
sure road back to health in all such

Tobaceo.Measurlna Pouch.

The old-time powder pouch, by
which the charge to be STAGED in a
gun was measured as 1t passed from
the interior of the pouch into the bar

older generation to whom the use of
the muzzle-loading weapon was some.
what familiar. These guns are now so
scarce that they are encountered only
enthusiastically, and, consequently,
the device by which they were loaded
Is something of the nature of curl
osity. This pouch has long neck
and valve which permitted only a
certain amount of powder to pass
from its interior at one time.
This idea has been utilized by a re.
cent inventor in the construction of
tobacco pouch which is more par
ticularly meant for the man who rolls
his own cigarette. This is quite the
common practice at present The or
binary smoking tobacco is placed in
the center of one of the tiny sheets
of paper and given n twist between
the fingers. 1t is essential for the
success Of the rolling operation that
the amount of tobacco should be al.

The Young Physician
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties IL was usually tho
duty of Q practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular
round Of visits upon his patients. In
those days young man who had received
splendid medical training In one OF the
best medical colleges of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phcnom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation TO towns at considerable dis
tances by rail- One OF s'specialties was
the cure of those distressing diseases OF
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
the following medicinal plants In just the
right proportion without the use of alco-
hobbs prescription invariably cured
such cases. Later, In order to place this
remedy before the public in shape easily
TO be procured, he established u labora-
tory at Buffalo, N. Y, where regularly
qualified chemists were put In charge TO
accurately prepare his prescription and
put IL in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States. This remedy, which
he named DR.. Pierco's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, is not "patent medicine" In the
common acceptance Of the term, but n
tonic for women, and Il regular physl-

ExtenslbIe Piano Bench.

The piano bench that has so uni
versally replaced the time.honored
STOOL while doubtless affording a
greater freedom of movement in its
usual design, lacks the adjustment
that was such a characteristic fea,
ture of the device it replaces. 1t
has been found, however, that the
great natural difference in arm length
of players has made the rigid bench
Objectionable to those who are not
possessed Of the average reach. A
player, to be at his best, must have
the physical conditions similar to
those he is accustomed to, and if his
elbows are too high, or too low, he
is conscious of it and the muscles fail
to respond to the demands with the
automatic precision that occurs when
the condition of daily practice exists.
II the bench has come to stay 1t must
be made adjustable, and the patent
office records show that a number of
people are giving the subject some

This man went with his wife to 3
dinner party. He took down to dinner
a very charming woman, but the first
course had hardly began when, to his
wife's dismay, he jumped up from his
seat beside the lady, and making a
circuit of the table, took a vacant
chair beside a young matron.
after the dinner, as the mans wife
entered her carriage to drive home,
she said impatiently:

down to dinner, you deserted Mrs. A.

How an English Publican Made His
Customers Want More.
A publican who was fined G5 and
costs for adding green copperas to his
beer at Marleybone, says a London
special to the Pittsburg Dispatch, was
held to have done so for the purpose
Of making his customers thirsty. His
name was Thomas Sands and until re.
Gently he carried on business at West
bourne Park road, Paddington.
Mr.. Hawkins, who prosecuted, said
that two inland revenue officers visit
ed Sands house and took samples Of
his beer. The porter was found to
contain green copperas in the proper.
ton of twelve pounds to barrel.
1t had since been suggested that the
copperas was used to make the beer
frothy, but the revenue authorities
knew nothing of that method and II
was impossible to suppose that twelve
pounds was necessary for the pur.
pose in barrel.
DO you suggest the consumer is
any the worse for the addition?" said
Mr.. Plowden.
at would have the effect OF dis
gulsing the taste of the beer and leav.
ing the throat and mouth of the con.
sumner dry, so that customers would
be induced to buy and drink more,'
replied Mr.. Hawkins.
Mr.. Plowden said he considered the
real object was to promote on the
part Of the customer passionate de.
sire for another glass. No publican
could hope too strongly for thirsty
customer, and If he could keep the
thirst going his source of income was
inexhaustible. 1t was very ingenious
device, but it was hardly the way to
retain custom.

But you can stand around and wait
Until your name is on the slate
But waiting doesn't pay the freight.
