NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

"My food was killing me and didn't
know the cause" writes Colo. young
lady. For two years was thin and
sickly. suffering from Indigestion and
inflammatory rheumatism.
II had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living. and many of the remedies
recommended. but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that / try Grape
Nuts, and I began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day | am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
II know II Is to Grape-Nuts alone
that l owe my restored health. l still

Of IT," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek. Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts Is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
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.
The result Is certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's a reason" Read

Too Much for Her.

Marguerite Watson was small
child. who. like many another, had tho
.nconvenient habit of asking embar.
rassiDg questions before guests. When
her mother had company to lunch
and dinner II seemed TO be her es-
pecial delight to comment on every
unusual dish she saw on the table.
One day Mrs. Watson, who lived In
a small town. invited some friends to
lunch. Wishing to have 1t particular.
ly nice, she sent to the city for can.
dies. fancy cakes and Ices.
Marguerite was allowed 10 come to
the table on the sole condition that
she should not speak Of anything
strange she saw.
AS soon as the little girl sat down
her glance fell on some candied white
grapes. For fully ten minutes her
eyes were fixed on the bon-bon dish
as II fascinated. but she said nothing.
At last she could stand 1t no longer.

creek, about twelve miles north OF this
city When the traction engine
reached the middle of the bridge the
structure collapsed, precipitating it
into the creek. =, The separator was

remained in the roadway, being pre-
vented by uplifted end of the bridge
from following the engine. It is al
most miracle that none were killed,
but the three men on the engine all
escaped injury. The bridge was a
steel structure, and had been guaran-
teed by the builders to hold up far
greater load than that under which it
collapsed. }. ~,

Obituary

Ralph A. Beckley was born in Bar.
ry county, Michigan, on Aug. Goth,
1869. Came with his porents to Min
nesota when nine years old: He grew
to manhood in Mobiles county, aud
made his home with bis parents, hav-
ing never married. He was strong,
robust young man until stricken with
typhoid pnuemonia eleven years ago,
after which his health gradually de.
clined.
About two years ago he began to
fail more rapidly. He consulted pyh'
s;cians who pronounced his malady
Briehts Diseases direct result of
the fever. Still he did not give up
his work until he became too weak to
continue it longer, in fact, he never
took to his bed. He made daily vis'
it's down town and continued to hope
for recovery until the last two weeks
of his life, when he became despond-
ent, gave up the fight, and passed
from this life into the great beyond,
Oct. 1O,h, 1907 at the age of 3S years:
His familiar form will be greatly
missed on the street by his many REL
a,ives and friends.
Ralph was of a kindly, unselfsh
nature and cnly his near friends and
relatives really knew his worth.
Altho not protesting Christian. he
had thought deeply on the subject,
and from a confidential conversation
with dear friend, the day before his
death, il was evident he had made
