WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared7

What comfort to find it is not sthe
awful thing feared. but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re-
ieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
Il was troubled for years with indi-
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times / would have such a gnawing
in my stomach that 1 actually feared
I had al dislike to write or even
think of what 1 feared
Sf'Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts
I decided to try it After a short time
1 was satisfied the trouble was not
the awful thing / feared but was still
bad enough. However, was relieved
of bad case of dyspepsia by chang
ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts-
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock I had also
noticed before began to eat Grape
Nuts that 1 was becoming forgetful of
where I put little things about the
house. which was very annoying
But since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape
Nuts, my memory. is good and my
mind as clear as when / was young.

TUM0RS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor.
The growth of tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly peri
DDS accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh
If you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of infia mmation
or diSplacementS. secure a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors-
Mrs May Fry, of $50 w Colfax
Ave, South Bend, Ind, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham.-
Il take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared / had They had said that
only an operation could help me- am
very thankful that I followed a friends
advice and took your medicine. 1t has
made me strong and well woman
and I shall recommend it as long as

A VALUABLE HOME RECIPE.

Mix one-half ounce of Concentrated
oil of pine with two ounces of glycer-

Shake thoroughly each time and use
in doses of a teaspoonful to a table,
spoonful every four hours.
The renowned throat and lung spe-
cialist who established camp for con-
sumptives in the pine woods of Maine,
and whose remarkable cures there at
tracted International attention, de-
clares that the above formula is one
of the very best remedies obtainable
for an acute cold and that it will
strengthen the lungs, relieve coughs
and heal the bronchial tubes. Also,
that it will cure any case of lung trou-
BILE not too far advanced if the patient
will assist by plenty of outdoor exer-
else, inhaling deep. long breaths every
few minutes.
The ingredients are procurable of
any good prescription druggist and
easily mixed at home and should take
its place as one of the most valued
remedies in the family medicine chest
Inquiry at one of the leading drug
gists elected the information that Con-
centrated oil of pine is put up for
dispensing only in half-ounce walls Sc
curely sealed in tin screw top cases in

light. The oils sold in bulk and the
patent medicines put up and labeled
"Oil of Pine" are to be avoided be-
cause owing to their impurities they
produce nausea and are useless as a
medicine, besides they sometimes
leave permanent kidney trouble.

in BEDTIME HOURS
SHORT DISCOURSE ON PROPER
METHODS OF SLEEP.
Writer Declares the Human Race Does
Not Know How Properly to Woo
Natures Sweet Restorer"-
Beware the Snorer.

Man is the only animal that sleeps
on it's back, says the New York Press
Many animals sleep on their sides,
but most sleep prone that is, face
down. Dogs never dream when prone,
but invariably do so when sleeping
on their side. All of us from the
country have seen Bung, the hound,
chasing rabbits in his sleep. An ami
NAL would be perfectly helpless if it
slept on it's back And so is man help
less in that position
If some other fellow wants a fortune
let him invent a pillow that will allow
a man or woman or child to sleep face
down without having to twist the neck
nearly out of joint. We still style it
the 'back-up cure and introduce it in
all homes. There is no excuse for
lying on the back and keeping the
spine hot all night, while the front of
the body-the abdomen, the stomach,
the chest, the throat, etc.-is allowed
to become chilled. A hot spine is
disease generator. And, on the other
hand, a cold spine is death
Snoring is an Internal nuisance to
every one except the snorer- People
who sleep on their fronts never snore.
Those who sleep on their backs in
variably do. The palate as we know
it is the roof of the mouth and the
floor of the nose Some style it the
hard palate. Back near the throat is
the soft palate. When you sleep on
your back this gets down about the
breathing apparatus and you snore-
Some SHORES are worse than the mid
night howl of a hyena. Never marry a
woman that snores. Ask her before
rI, fcyo TO
ing, and if she says yea" avoid her.
1t is much easier to relax when
sleeping on your front than when
sleeping on your back. And what we
all need after touching the bed at
night is relaxation. 1t is billion
pities that some scientist cannot teach
the art of relaxing. Our strenuous
life, of course, is not blameless in this
matter. We go to bed in excitement,
and the nerves are strung all night.
That is TO say, we go to bed in full
tune, like a piano, and cannot possibly
let the strings down. Therefore we
do not rest. Could we relax we could
sleep four or five hours and arise re-
freshed; but as we cannot relax, we
groan and dream and sweat and roll
over and have remorSe for eight or
nine hours, and get up with a swelled
head
Every man and woman in this coun-
try was brought up with the notion
that if the feet were higher than the
head in sleeping all the blood would
rush to the head and cause strangula-
ton. This is the veriest rot. Ad
vanced physicians now advocate the
elevated feet for the cure of insomnia.
Hang your legs over the footboard,
get rid of your pillow, and go to sleep
like an infant. You are on your feet
all day and half the night Stand on
your head the rest of the night and let
the blood circulate the other way.
Maybe your brain needs it.

Nut Growing Industry of the South

t'Nut, growing is a comparatively
new industry in the south Atlantic
and Gulf states, but it promises to de-
velop into one of the most important
in that section" said ]. z. Reid, a
prosperous planter of Florida. 1.-THE
most popular nut is the pecan, and its
popularity is probably due to the de-
velopment of systematic methods of
grading it and cracking it with ma
chinery operated by steam or electric
power. This makes possible the mar
keting of the meats of the nut ready
for use.
THE demand is always much great
er than the supply and many planters
are now turning their attention to the
nut raising industry. 1t is not. I'M
common for a tree to bear as high as
200 pounds of nuts in one season and
most of these sell at from so to 20
cents a pound. 1t does not require
much figuring to show that the pecan
orchards which abound in some Sec
lions are paying Investments

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
