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. 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 q friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
When I began to eat Grape-Nuts
weighed sS lbs. but soon grew to 115
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now I am like q new per
son.
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in thousand ap-
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 neglects the care Of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system Is In q deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this perl O d
likely to become active and with O
host of nervous irritations make life q
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
Of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread Of Inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dixzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching

CHICAGO MUST HUSTLE.
Kansas City About to Capture Both
National Conventions.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Chicago and
Kansas City will fight it out for both
the Republican and Democratic ma
tiona1 conventions in 1908. Chicago
will win only on condition that a
larger convention hall be provided
than the Coliseum as at present ar
ranged.
Thomas D. Knight, president of the
Hamilton club. delivered this message
last night at a banquet of the "Old
Guard" of the club. He had just re-
turned after consultation with
Chairman New and other Republican
national leaders at Washington.
Chicago must provide hall which
will comfortably seat $4,000" said
Mr.. Knight. THAT is the foun dation
stone of the demands of the national
committee, and must be met by Chi
cago or the convention goes to Kan
sas City, where there is hall seating
10000. Already many eastern COM
mitteemen have pledged their support
to Kansas City, which has made a
startling campaign.
1.-THE Coliseum, as at present ar
ranged, does not answer nearly the de-
mands. We will strive to arrange a
system of new galleries. Mr.. New will
be here in a short time to see what
we can do.
1--WE are considering urging the
rapid construction of a new Seventh
regiment armory. which will be ade-
uuate, or failing in that, to build a
temporary wigwam. Chicago must
hustle to land both conventions"

The music that Is most appreciated,

Next to this comes the instrumental
