MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern me ethods of living
not one woman in u thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period Of
her whole existence and every woman
who negfects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this peri o d
likely to become active and with n
host of nervous irritations make life n
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warming symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of I'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart.
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which, not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fanee Starch. as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great

APPENDICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate in
Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. CHATS the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix.)
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
tion.
She says: Five years ago while at
school. 1 suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread, potatoes, etc,
which she did not digest)
Soon after left school had an at
tack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
I recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me, until a friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when 1 began to eat Grape-Nuts
weighed 98 lbs, but soon grew to lis
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now am like new per-
son."
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,
for the starchy part of the wheat and
barley is changed into form of di-
gestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)
