FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health as Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-
ous. who suffer from indigestion or dys-
pepsil. headache, biliousness. or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in
the morning and poor appetite, it be-
comes necessary to turn to some tonic or
strengthener which will assist Nature
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into It's proper condition. 1t
is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ago. DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. discovered that by scientifically
extracting and ombining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce u medicine which was maryelously
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as well as
many other chronic or lingering all
ments. This concentrated extract Of
Natures vitality he named Golden Med
ical Discovery" 1t purifies the blood by
putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation OF food which
feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weak
stomach, Indigestion, torpid liver, or bill
iousness, and kindred arrangements.

Test of a Perfect Foot.

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
ber OF words will each receive a little
box containing $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning $500 gold piece.
800 people will each win box con-
tanning s1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 In gold.
1t Is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "YI-O-Grape-Nuts
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under T., etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, f,
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come 20 you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t Is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered In that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list OF words plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts. but the contestant is not re-
quired to purchase a pkg. These let
tiers are not to contain poetry, or fancy
fourishes, but simple, truthful state
ments of fact. For illustration: A
person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection of food that failed to
give the body and brain the energy.

During the railway mania of 1s45 a
meeting of considerable Importance

A great desire existed to know the

not to take place at Portsmouth until

An official of one of the telegraph
companies tells an amusing story of
young woman in a Pennsylvania
