sus Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start In the aliment-

A great deal OF our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats. etc-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines. and If we eat too much, as most
OF us do, the organs that should di.

Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour

In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a

Upon a certain day there was an
author-man who needed the money;

ject which is reputed to be mightieP

Having finished his article, he went
to the post office, purchased some
milling stamps and mailed the piece
to the editor. Then he waited for the
child of his brain to make it's way
back to his mantel piece, accompan.
led by a warm note from the editor
saying that, owing to a redundancy
of similar matter, ne was compelled
to reject the piece, although this ac-
ton wrenched his heart strings to
such an extent as to almost drag that
organ from its moorings. However,
this rejection was to be considered as
in nowise a condemnation of the mer.

dreaded, never came. Now dear
