Pianos

have been before the public for the
last So years, and through Intrinsic
merit have won a foremost position
among the High Grade Pianos Of the
world. The kurtzmann Piano has
earned the title of Old Reliable on &C.
count of its great durability. Kurtz-

years are worth more unsteady than
new Pianos of other makes that sell
for almost as much money. Kurtz-
mann Pianos today, as in the past,
stand for all that is excellent in Pi-
amos. There Is no Piano on the mar
ket more in demand.
In its construction and finish a
Kurtzmann Piano stands out ideally
superb. The care used in their manu-
facture means long life to both case
and action. The method of stringing
and the construction Of Sounding
Board, Bridge, Frame and Back in
sures the continued sweetness of a
tone which is noted for Its richness
and mellowness-a tone that is deep,
full, pure, brilliant and clear as bell.

What q Doctor Does
When He is Sick
II He Has Touch of Indigestion He
Simply Eats.

Simply Eats.
While talking with a well-known
local physician yesterday, we were
surprised to hear him declare that
probably one third of all the people in
the city suffer more or less with indi-
gestion .or constipation.
Our friend, the doctor. said that he
himself had a touch Of indigestion oc-
casionally. But he confessed he does
not take drugs in hope Of relief.
'Ill tell you what do" he said,
'and you can print it, or not, just as
you prefer. / eat Malta-Vita, which Is
a delicious food by the way. for
breakfast, and at least once again in
the course of the day. I do this reg
ularly, and my indigestion disappears
almost as though by magic"
Vita is the whole Of the best
white wheat, thoroughly steamed and
cooked, mixed freely with pure barley
malt extract, then rolled into wafer
like flakes and baked crisp and brown.
The malt extract acts on the gelatin
lied starch Of the cooked wheat as a
digestive agent and converts the
starch into maltese. or malt sugar.
Maltese is excellent food and readily
taken up by the system, forming rich,
healthy blood and giving life and
strength to the whole body 1t gives
a healthy tone to the bowels and is
valuable in all cases of indigestion
and constipation, even when very Sc
we're.
No other food has that satisfying
Malta-Vita taste. Try some with milk
or cream. All grocers. 10 cents.

Don't take scoop coffee when you want
Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee, which is
sold only in sealed packages and never
loose out of scoop
A grocer may recommend loose cof-
fee at SO much pound. He is all right.
He means we'll. Ifhe handled the coffee
himself from the tree to you, you might
well trust him implicitly.
But he does not!
He may know something about coffee.
He may think he does, but let that pass.
He buys it loose! From whom7 You
don't know-if you did it would not
mean anything. He trusts the man he
buys it from-maybe salesman, maybe
wholesaler, maybe a little local rooster.
It does not matter. What do they know
about coffee7 More than the grocer
Perhaps.
Where do they get their coffee7
Where does it come from
Whose hands touched it last7
Where had they been7
