AUTOS HURTING BUSINESS.
Merchants Complaining Their Sales
are InJurIousIy Affected Thereby.

are lnJuTiouoiy ruSSscu
Merchants are complaining that
their trade is not quite what it might
be were it not for the automobile
craze. Some merchants after careful
study Of the situation have arrived
at the rather curious conclusion that
they are not sharing as much as they
should In the general prosperity be-
cause Of the automobile.
This is a new charge against the
much criticized machine. To some
this may be somewhat puzzling at
first thought for the hasty superstition
would be that people would not in
dulge in automobiles unless they had
money to spend for anything they
wanted. That is, in other words,
would be one among other free ex-
penditures. It is probable, however,
that many buy automobiles with no
very clear realization Of anything ex-
cept their first cost, which is not In
considerable for anybody without an
income very large, and that they
then find the expense. of maintaining
so serious that 1t involves the cutting
OFF Of most other privileges, not in
GLIDING the other necessaries.
Even when an automobilist is his
own chauffeur, when he has the me
chanical ability for making ordinary
repairs himself, and is able to find
1t amusing or endurable to act as
groom for his exacting servant with
the delicate constitution, he discovers
that If it is to be kept in order the
dollars go out with alarming rapidity.
There is always something to buy or
something to replace. OF course, the
automobiles who puts himself at the
mercy of a hired chauffeur, even
though he be an honest one, must
meet an ~ever-ending stream Of
charges and pay two or three prices
for everything he buys.
1t is no wonder, then, that this CON
centration Of expenditures is making
itself felt by those who cater to those
who do not count their pennies with
any great care. That so many people
have automobiles is a constant source
OF wonderment, and the wonder is the
greatest to those who know best by
sorrowful experience the cost Of
running one of the machines. The
amount of pleasure an automobile can
give is enormous, and it's quality is,
or may be, of the highest among the
joys not distinctly intellectual, but for
the present few a have those joys
without feeling an unwonted inclin-
atlon toward economy in other direc.
ions. Some day the price of motors
VIII come down, and then things will
adjust themselves again.

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble For People With
Weak Intestinal Digestion.

a lady in a Wis. town employed a
physician, who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness, and
she certainly was a sick woman.
I'm the year 1877 gave out from
over work, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors, but
nothing seemed to help. I suffered
from cerebro-spina1 congestion, fe-
male trouble and serious stomach
and bowel trouble. My husband
called a new doctor, and after having
gone without any food for 10 days
the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for
me. I could eat the new food from
the very first mouthful. The doctor
kept me on Grape-Nuts, and the only
medicine was a little ~glycerine to heal
the alimentary canal.
when l was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. I got
well in good time, and have gained
in strength so / can do my own work
again.
my brain has been helped SO
much, and I know that the Grape
Nuts food did this, too. I found I
had been made i'll because I was not
fed right, that is, I did not properly
digest white bread and some other
food I tried to live on.
Il have never been without Grape
Nuts food since and eat 1t every day.

was taken with eczema OF that was what

and said she would be ell right in a few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
sailed IN doctor No. 2. He said she was

through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. 8 said it was
eczema. By this time she was nothing
but . yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said
he could help her, so we let him try it
about g week. One morning we discovered
Q little yellow pimple on one of her eyes.
OF course we 'phoned for doctor No. 8.
He came over and looked her over and
said that he could not do anything more
for her, that we had better take her to
some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.
So we went to Oswego to doctor No. A,
and he said the eyesight wss gone,
but hat he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. 8. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged $40
more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly
discouraged. I saw one of the C~uticura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, SO
