BREAD DYSPEPSIA.


The Digcsting Element Lett Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t at
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestincs, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which "a turned into diastasc wheE II is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan

This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn It into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, so natures val
liable digester Is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best IL can. without the help that ma
ture intended.

The little sparkling crystals Of grape

Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use In
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eeffct Of eating Grape-Nuts ten

who believe they are entirely and eter-
nally right.
At last the point was reached where
the work must be completed by an act
OF extreme desperation-we must
charge the fort.
Between the trench in which we
were concealed and the coveted prize
was a space OF about 500 feet, filled
with every sort of obstruction which
cunning, desperate men could devise.
In part this consisted OF stout stakes
driven firmly into the ground at an
angle pointing towards us, and sharp
ened. These were SO thick and close
that we could not pass between them.
and were too strong TO be easily
broken. II there was q spot anywhere
affording the least protection from the
leaden storm II was planted thick
with torpedoes. 1t was through and
over such distractions that we must
force our way while the guns Of the
fort would be flashing on us floods of
death.
The signal was to be three guns
fired from battery near the cents:
of our line. at an interval of half a
minute each. To deceive the enemy,
precisely the same signal had been
fred at noon for three preceding days.

The ground was strewn thick with

blood, with fragments Of rent and scat.

literally covered with the shattered re-

persisted in handling them.
Amid the sitting stencil of human
gore, the survivors stood. some bud

Going through the hospitals in our

large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious operations.
Why should this be the CASEY Sim

selves. Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women OF
this country-they creep upon them
unawares, but every one of those
patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feel

A LAND or OPPORTUNITIES.
Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.

A recent number of the Winnipeg

excellent article on the prospects In
Western Canada, portion Of which
we are pleased to reproduce.
The agents Of the Canadian Gov
eminent, located at different centres
in the States, will BIO pleased to give
any further information as to rates,
and how to reach these lands.
Just now there is n keener inter-
est than ever before on the part Of
the outside world, In regard to the
claims OF the Canadian West as field
OF settlement. At no previous time
has there been such a rush OF imm!.

ton distributed broadcast is unprece-
dentedly great
"In the majority of the States Of
the Union and In Great Britain the
opportunities for home-making and
achieving OF even modest compe-
tence are at the best limited. More
over, according to the social and in.
dustrial conditions prevalent In those
communities, the future holds out no
promise of better things. It is not
strange. then, that energetic young
men should turn their eyes to Can

THE inducements held out by West.
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
In progress. That the prospects are
considerably moro than reasonably
certain is borne out by tire history Of
the country and Its residents. The
promise of gain is powerful. but when
added to 1t there Is the prospect OF o
corresponding social and civil eleva
ton, it should prove Irresistible to
young men of a particularly desirable
class for any new country.
"The Canadian West Is alive with
opportunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some of the eager young fellows who
arrive on the prairies daily are des
tined to become more than merely
prosperous farmers. In the near fr
ture great municipal and provincial
development will be in the hands OF
the people. The stepping stone to
both financial prosperity and civil
prominence is, and will be, the farm.
For every professional opening there
are hundreds OF agricultural openings
The Canadian prairies are teemins
with opportunities for the honest and
industrious Of all classes, but they
are specially inviting to the ambitious
young man who seeks field for the
energy and ability which he feels In.

OF Back to the soil!" is more than

to Western Canada"
