GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on
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 nervous affection of the stom'
ach.' I was actually so nervous that
| 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 l tried many kinds OF
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. l was almost discouraged.
and when I tried Grape-Nuts | did so
with many misgivings-l had no faith
that it would succeed where every.
thing else had failed.
"But 1t did succeed, and you don't
know how glad am that I tried it.
| feel like a new person, | have gain
ed in weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more feel so strong
again that am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me So | 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 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 ard is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tained in the natural grain. which
unites with albumen and water-the
ONLY three substances that will make
IN the soft gray filling in the thou'
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is .
sure road back to health in all such
cnses.

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.

Nrs- Van scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Enscts from Grip and Learns
Value Of Blood Isemedy.
Tho grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
Restion and over-sensitive nerves.
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis. rheuma-
tism. nervous prostration, aud even con.
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims Of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull: another was left tired
faint and in every way wretched from
anBmia or scantiness Of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
II had a severe attack Of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormeuted me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was SO lame
for week that could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While I was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it im-
pressed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing needed.
Improvement set i'll as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me n well woman"
Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.
20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train Of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.

Decoration Day

Sleep, comrades. sleep and rest
On this field of the grounded arms,
Where foes no more moiest,
Nor sentry's shot aarms
Ye have slept on the ground before
And started to your feet
AT the cannon's sudden roar
Or the drums redoubling beat,
But in this camp of death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here Is no fcvered breath,
Nor wound that bleeds and aches
All is repose and peace.
tntrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
1t is the truce of God.
Rest. comrades. rest and sleep,
The thoughts of men shall be
AS sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers:
Yours has the suffering been.
The memory shall be ours.

REJECT DEATH CERTIFICATE.
 -4- New York Authorities Will Investigate Demise of Miss Saunders.

DGmloE OA HAhS9 SAum1Nhes
 New York, Oct. 21.--Rejection of the death certificate of Miss Susan E. Saunders a member of a prominent Southern family, has led to an official investigation by the coroner, says to- days Herald.
 Miss Saunders died on October 12 from burns received in the house of Dr. M. Belle Brown, a woman physician, on West Fiftieth Street Dr. Brown made out a certificate that Miss Saun- ders had died from pulmonary oedema and burns.
 The department Of health promptly rejected the certificate on the ground that it was insuffcient. Dr. Brown and her servants will be subpoenaed by the coroner to tell the manner of Miss Saunders death.
 Miss Saunders was 39 years of age. Her home had for the last five years been a furnished room in the house of Dr. Brown. She was standing in front of a gas stove on October '. according to the best information obtainable when a gust of wind from an open window blew a gas flame against the bottom of her gown. She was instant ly in flames and before the servants could do anything to aid her, was fatal ly burned She died at a hospital of which Dr. Brown Is dean on October 18th.
 Miss Saunders was the daughter of R. Westrop Saunders, formerly a sur geon in the British army, and subse- quently a well-known physician of Cin- cinnati. Her mother was the daughter of Colonel James Taylor, of Kentucky. She was related by marriage to Profes- sor Charles A. Doremus, of the college of the city of New York. The body of Miss Saunders was taken to the house of her uncle, Colonel John B. Taylor, of Newport, Ky, where last Sunday the funeral services took place.

How often do we hear women say: "It seems as though my back kJwould break, or Don't speak to me, am all out of sorts?" These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention.
 Backache and " the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of Intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally success full remedy for woEnan's ills known to medicine.
 The following letters from Mrs. the many thousands which Mrs. Pink ham has received this year from those whom she has relieved.
 Surely such testimony is convincing.
 Mrs. J c. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 "I have suffered everything with backache and womb trouble-T let the trouble run on until my system was in such condition that was unable to be about, and then it was commenced to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. If had only known how much suffering would have saved, I should have taken it months sooner-for q few weeks treatment made me well and strong. My headaches and headaches are all gone and I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods whereas before took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain"
