attention was at once attracted by a

young man and the devil. the stake

and he seemed Just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown In every line of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side OF the table
glcoted over him with tiendish delight.
The position OF the game appeared ut
terly hopeless for the young man. and
Mr.. III. said he had often set 1t up and
studied 1t with his chess friends. and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied ii fer several minutes.
when finally, turning to Mr.. H., he
said:

man"
Mr.. Fl. was Of course asSonished and

Mr.. Norphy replied. "Get out the

The position was set up. and in a

the devil was checkmated.

Does Golfers expect to regain any

as white bread, potatoes, rice, partly

Starchy food is not digested in the
upper stomach, but passes on into the
duodenum. or lower stomach and In
testines, where, in q healthy individual,
the transformation of the starch into a
form of sugar is completed and hen
the food absorbed by the blood.
But II the powers Of digestion are
weakened, a part Of the starchy food
will lie IN the warmth and moisture of
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces IN
til under such conditions the whole low
er part of the ~alimentary canal. includ-
ing the colon and the appendix, be-
comes involved. Disease sets up and
at times takes the form known as ap-
pendicitis.
When the symptoms Of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not be
good, practical, common sense, to dis
continue the sta.chy food which Is
causing the trouble and take a food In
which the starch has been transformed
into a form of sugar In the process OF
manufacture?
This is identically the same form OF
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made up very
largely OF starch and is required by the
body for energy and warmth. Natural
ly, therefore, its use should be contin-
ued, il possible, and for the reasons
given above it is made possible in the
manufacture Of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with his change OF
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, We have suggested washing
out the lntestines to get rid OF the I'M
mediate cause OF the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where the
disease has lain dormant and the abuse
continued too long, until apparently,
only the knife will avail. But 1t is a
well-established fact among the best
physicians who are acquainted with the
details above recitcd. that preventative
measures are far and away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest
ing a way to prevent disease by fol-,
lowing natural methods and for per-,
fecting a food that contains no "medi-
| cine' and produces no medicinal ef>
fects'' but which has guided literally
| thousands OF persons from sickness to
health? We have received during tho
years past upwards OF 25,0OO letters,
from people who have been either help,

If white bread, potatoes, rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
