NEW LIFE
Found in Change to Right Food.

After one suffers from acid dyspep-
STA, sour stomach, for months and then
finds the remedy is in getting the right
kind of food it is something to speak
out about.
A n. Y. lady and her young son had
such an experience and she wants
others to know how to get relief. She
writes:
For about fifteen months my little
boy and myself had suffered with sour
stomach. We were unable to retain
much of anything we ate.
after suffering in this way for so
long l decided to consult a specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead of pre-
scribing drugs, he put us both on
Grape-Nuts and we began to improve
Immediately
1T was the key to a new life I
found we had been eating too much
heavy food which we could not digest
In few weeks after commencing
GrapeNuts I was able to do my house
work. l wake in the morning with n
clear head and feel rested and have no
sour stomach. My boy sleeps we'll and
wakes with laugh.
I'VE have regained our lost weight
and continue TO eat Grape-Nuts for
both the morning and evening meals.

drawn to a close.

He IS now 80 years old and while in good health
at the time of this writing. his passing is but a
matter OF a few months years. There two
sides to this great man. One is Leo Tolstoi, the
artist, and the other-Ieo Tolstoi the man AS
the artist he has wsitten fearless works and the
person or clique which has fallen under the scath
ing attack of his pen has seldom been known to
boast of 1t.
There is disputing his rank as the best known
of living authors. Also he is the most generally
read and recognized. He has attained the highest
pinnacle of fame in the literary field and it can
not be said that he craved fame, either.
Best of ALL TOlsoi is friend of all Americans
The traveller from the United States visiting Rus
STA, is as welcome at the 4aSnaya POlyana estate Of
Ru2sia's great man, if he were in his own home
America likes Tostoi, too, for the author is the
most democratic of men.
It is told of him that he spurns all worldly Iuxu
res even going so far as to have two tables set
within his home at each meal-ope Respondent
with fancy edbles. while the other is stocked
with simple food Of the peasantry Friends of his
daughters and sons always welcomed at the
more prosperous looking board while in the same

takes of the necessities of life ordinary pie
bean would However, his children, having been
brought up to the luxuries of life, allowed to
CRAFTY their every whim, and he allows his
beliefs to step between them and happiness. In
that respect he is ideal father and he has been
praised the world for his broad-minded
of treating others who do not believe he
does
! He is also what Americans call mixer but
in entirely different sense. He meets the poor
of Russia on their own level and, except for the
fact that he often scatters money at their feet
one would never suspect his wealth. There
no strings attached Tolstos gifts and thousands
OF benefcences to Russians in general, while the
benefacors name is a secret, popularity laid
at the door of this great man.
To be friend of the Russian peasant up TO
few years ago meant to be an enemy of the gov
eminent. Upon several occasions Tostoi's outcry
against oppression of cars subjects has placed
him behind the grimy walls OF SlaV dungeons, but
he always returned to continue the work which he
has SO ably accomplished.
He is a social reformer of the first water and
many of the acts of justice which the Russian gov
eminent of late years has accomplished can be
traced back to the work OF Tostoi.
As literary artist the count is dead. His de-
miss was a literary suicide. and it occurred 30

The work which some of the critics of other
nations scott at has reached from the matched

For the sake of peace also. Tolstoi has accom-
plished a great work. The first Hague conference,
which .nade history, would probably never have
been called had it not been for the persistent
gospel of this friend of the populace at large.
Tostoi saw that the eventual result of his teach

in the dress customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon
