large tablespoonful of plain melted
butter, which must be quite cold, into

work in the curdled mayonnaise, when

CHANGE IN FOOD

1t is worth knowing that a change

1t my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me OF Indigestion.

years, until last year my doctor rec

tons and now am entirely well.
The whole family like Grape-Nuts.
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food. is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; It also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body is In per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as wen as
adults. It Is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Striped materials are very much a
la mode this spring. Gauze striped

things, but the reign of striped fab
RIGS extends through the whole list,
and fine WOODEN materials and silks
are likewise thus fashionably design
ed. Now, the stripe presents some
difficulties to the dressmaker Well
arranged, nothing can be smarter-ill-
placed, nothing more dowdy-than a
striped fabric. The more broken-up the
design is, however, the fewer pitfalls
are in the path of the cutters scis-
sors; and the present fashion in skirts
is so much for trimming, or otherwise
varying the fall of the lines, that
it is comparatively easy to get chic
effect. In many cases, the striped fab
RIGS are used so as to produce the
erect OF trimming; and that this
can be readily done is one of the vir-
tues of such material. For exam
pie, you may have tablier or panels
OF the same stripes as the rest of the
gown, but cut on the cross instead of
with the lines running down: or, bet
ter still, the trimming or insertion
may consist of stripes so cut, and then
reJoined as TO form a series of
V-shaped lines. Or yet again, the
stripes may run downwards from the
waist to the lower third of the skirt,
and there a founce is set on of the
same stripes running round the fig
ure, slightly gathered on; or maybe

Best WAYS to Wind Wool.

Wool for knitting or crochet should
never be wound very tightly into a
hard ball, as this makes it thin and
poor. Some good knitters merely
unwind the skein into a soft heap
but this method is only possible where
there is no fear Of ENHANCEMENT, as if
the heap of wool be disturbed it soon
gets into hopeless tangle.. A better
plan Is to wind the wool over three
or four fingers of the left hand held
outside the BAH. These fingers should
be gently withdrawn at frequent inter.
walls to change the position of the ball,
says Woman's Life Wool thus wound
is always sof. and full of thread.

STOMACH on STRIKE

FOR INDIGESTION.
Or: Williams Pink Pills Cured THE
Hundreds Of Other Cases Of

woman and Have Cured Many

Common Ailments
Loss of appetite, coated tongue. had
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and q dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is ON strike:
that it Is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There ara two methods of treatment.
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of rredigessed foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs. Mary Stackp0le. of 81

began to gain in weight and health. I
was encouraged by this to keep on until

These wonderful pills are useful in
wide range of diseases such as an@mia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
