NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Re-
lics

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stouach and bowels.
A great deal OF our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starcly and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
The starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry. potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested In the small in
testines, and ii we eat too much. as
most of US do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess OF work, so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and a long train Of
ails result
Too much fat also is hard to di-
gest and this Is changed into acids,
sour stomach, belehing gas, and a
bloated. heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress, but IN building up
strong digestion. clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago | suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, constipation-caused, know
now. from eating starchy and greasy
food.
I doctcred for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me
there was 20 cure for me. | could
not eat anything without suffering
severe pain in my back ard sides. and
I became discouraged.
"a friend recommended Grape

than two weeks / began to feel better
and inside Of two months I was a
well woman and have been ever since.

TALISMANS AND CHARMS.

Talismans and charms have their
ups and downs In fashion. Just now
the wearing OF such "mascots," says
The Worans Magazine" seems to
be in the ascendant. They hang from
necks, they dangle from purses, they
even adorn ones rooms. The new
est charm in Paris, which Is war
ranted to leave joyousness IN its
wake, is a pot OF growing shamrccka.
The pots are small, and there Is a
great desire to get the four.leaved
shamrocks to grow In them. Such
result Of course. Is a mere question
CT luck. The shamrock charm will
be much sought this season and will
be a popular favor for luncheons. AT
