NEVER TIRES

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

and has an agreeable, healthful quail
ity that never grows tIresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong. the or
gans do their work of building up good
red blood cells and of carrying away
the excess of disease-making material
from the system.

French Presidents Double.

M. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double.
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president. the same kind of hat
aud exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Dignified and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the Faubourg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saluted
on all sides.

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated. therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.
