"The cheapest place In the world
is Antioch" said a globetrotter. II
once passed a winter there and all it
cost me. though leased fine house
and kept three servants. was 81 a
week.
Antioch is in Asia. 1t is on the
mediterranean. The clim/te is all
right for winter-as good q winter
climate as Monte Carlo, Palm Beach
or Los Angeles.
For my honse paid S. a month
rent. My servants paid so cents a
week. Mutton cost cents a pound.
Eggs were 2 cents a dozen. Chickens
were cents apiece. Fish cost a
fifth of a cent pound. The finest of
fresh fruits and vegetables-fresh
fruits and vegetables in February
were so cheap that they were not sold
In quantity. You got all you wanted
for so much a week. All l wanted
for my household cost me quarter
weekly.
An American resident of Antioch
told me that he and his family lives
comfortably on SITS year."

In Management of r. r.
Speaking of food, railroad man
says:
MY work puts me out in all kinds
OF weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For years l was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are the most
accessible to men in my business. Cen
orally each meal or lunch was fol-
lowed by distressing pains and burn
Ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost un-
fitted me for work. My brain was SO
muddy and foggy that 1t was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
"This lasted till about year ago.
when my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad.
and concluded to try It. Since then
have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev.
cry meal. and sometimes between
meals. We railroad men have little
chance to prepare our food in our ca
bosses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty
handy, for 1t Is ready cooked.
ITO make long story short, Grape
Nuts has made new man of me. I
have no more burning distress in my
stomach. nor any other symptom Of
indigestion. i can digest anything so
long as eat Grape-Nuts. and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineers watch. and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-
tirely." Name given by Postum Co.,

way OF draining the foundation. The
soil Is black muck with a hard dry
subsoil.
2. The building is to be So feet by
so feet, and the wall concrete. What
thickness is required?
3. Is it advisable to use cobble
stones in the trench level with the
ground.
4. How much material will be re-
CURED?
1. To drain foundatio use tile
drains. having tiles laid outside of
walls and even the bottom of footings:
these will catch any surface or soak,
age water from running underneath
walls.
z. A cement wall one foot thick
with footing inches thick and two
1eet wide would be sufficient for
building mentioned above.
3. In building concrete walls. use
all the stone filters that can be
thoroughly bedded in concrete in the
1ootings and walls, but do not start
concrete walls on top of trenches
filled with cobble stone, for the water
is liable to lay in among the stone and
the frost will heave and crack the
ais. Use the stone in the concrete
In the bottom as described above.
4. For concrete wall for a barn

with footings, it will take: Portland

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays aud throws
OF poisonous gases that distend the
walls OF the stomach and cause inter-
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness aud
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these tr,,nbles
vanish just as soon as tho stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, il needs u tonic thar will
