CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use Of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use Of
heavy, greasy, rich food. finally cause
loss OF appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young woin-
IN writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago l had a lot Of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. got so was unable to di.
gest scarcely anything. and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. praising 1t highly, and as
last resort I tried 1t. ! am thankful
TO say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
tieved me, of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans SO that can now eat anything I
desire. But / stick to Grape-Nuts."

CHAPTER IV.--continued.

nizing their informant's plight, in
friendly tone of voice said: MIR. Hill
lier, | presume you are tired after
your journey and would like to rest
before any further discussion of this
subject. | would suggest that you go
to your chambers and return here to-
morrow"
What sense is there in his re-
turning?" came the angry question of
the lord of the admiralty, as the Sec
retary bowed himself out of the room.
HE doesn't even know, l presume,
that Japan is already sending every
available ship she has against the
western coast of America as fast as
steam will carry it."
Sending an invading fleet against
an apparently passive country in some
part of which was the woman he
loved! This thought reiterated itself
through Guys mind as he passed down
the corridor and out into the din and
movement of the street. Where
could she be now, he wondered, and
what of her father? Insane, perhaps,
and incapable of offering her protec-
tion of which she would stand so sadly
in need in case of Japanese success.
The words of q letter which he car
ried in his pocket, and which to him
was of more Importance than the dis
patches he delivered, constantly re
Cured to him:
1T is always within the realms of
possibility, when war is oR-a-land,
that friends may never meet again. If
such should be our case, l pray that
you will remember this, even up to the
last-I loved YOU"
In the dusk of early evening an
army Of countless men and women
hurrying 10 the trans, the tubes and
the buses, swept past him ignorant of
his misery. What was war to them
in country thousands of miles across
sea and in which perhaps there was
none bound to them by ties of affec.
ton? The United States might iso-
late itself by sea and intrench itself
behind curdons of soldiers; but he
would go back! Yes, he would find
a way to pass all their barriers and
gain the side OF the woman who mer.
tied his protection through her avowed
love, and in this, her hour of need
seemed crying out to him across the
uttermost spaces of the world, be
seeching him to return-only to re
turn!
