The Cause of Gas

Gas on the stomach indicates that food has
fermented. The food is usually starch.
1t ferments because it doesn't digest. The
food was not properly cooked. The particles of
starch have not been separated that the d-
gestive juices can get to them.
The remedy is not an artificial digester-nor
a pre-digested food.
The remedy is to supply the starch in shape
to be digested. Then let the stomach do the work
for which it is intended.
When you toast bread you notice that it d.
gests better. You have applied more heat
broken up more of the starch.
But the perfect food for weak stomach is
Mapl.Flake. No other food in the world is
cooked SO we'll as that
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours
Then cured for 80 hours. Then each separate
berry is faxed SO thin that the full heat of our
ovens can get to each atom. Then the fakes are
toasted, for 80 minutes, in heat of 400 Degrees
The result is food that's all food, because
it all dgests. No part will fern1ent to cause d-
gestive disorders. Try it and see.

 Owes Recovery to Cuticura.

Ny son Clyde was almost com pletely covered with eczema. Physi- clans treated him for nearly year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Frien1s coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disf1gured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, l used some Cutieura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cutieura Reselvent. That was the first night for nearly year that he slept. In the morning there was q great change for the better. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh, O., June Il, 1907."

A FAR CRY The Story of a Happy
 Christmas

Copyright, 1908, by Short Story Publishing Col
By MAGLYN DUPREC

It had not been easy for John Wellington, Sr., to select his Christ mas gifts this year, although his old wife and one or two servants were all for whom he had to provide. It was Christmas eve, and he had been through bookstores, where handsomely bound volumes of story writers, philosophers and poets were displayed on every counter; through brilliantly lighted jewelry stores, where precious stones gleamed softly against back grounds of rich velvet; through the perfumed shop of the florist, where delicate blossoms from famous green gave the lie to the bitter wind and swirling snow outside. With each he had left a generous check, but always with an unsatisfied feeling that he was paying for something he did not care to have. Finally, he had been lured into shop whose windows displayed an attractive lot of toys for small boys, and he had selected from it's almost endless store of guns, wagons, wonder ful animals and ear-splitting wind in struments,Y red tin horn, costing him only 25 cents.
 This had given him more satisfac- ton than any purchase he had made for many times that amount.
 The other parcels he had ordered delivered, but this he had carried him. self, as though it were something too precious to be trusted to other hands It was this that he unwrapped before

The Unexpected Return and five others, for next. to nothing. When she got the pictures home the rest of the family did not like them, so without word of warning she packed them up and expressed them back accompanied by a polite little note requesting me to refund the money.

hens cackled derlSlVely at the very sight of him. He never paid anybody more than half of what they were en- titled to, and even the mosquitoes avoided him in disgust as having a hide like an automobile tire and with no more sustenance beneath it. No man, woman, child or beast was ever fed by him without rendering services in advance for more than the food was worth, and his neighbors were afraid to shake hands with him for fear that he would steal their finger-nails. He skinned his milk twice, made his decayed apples into cider, and when his horses got so old they could not work for him any longer he killed them and made them into glue, and then used the glue to stick another mortgage on some neighbours house. Of course everybody hated him worse he did not mind that much because in one way or another he kept getting money and that was revenge enough for him.
 Now, half mile away from this mans house was the little cabin of old Ike Clay and his old wife Sally. Ike was so poor that even the mice could not afford to board with him, much as they liked him, and his poy- erty was generally due to the fact that as soon as he got anything he would give it away to the first one who asked him for it, for Ike and Sally lived in the belief that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Also they were very humble and re- ligious and devoutly believed in every. day miracles and that the Lord would feed his children even as he did his sparrows. and fishes. And up to this time it had always turned out that way, but now the day before Christ mas had arrived and the cupboard was as empty as Ike's pockets, and Ike's pockets had nothing in them at all but holes. But his wife's faith was unwavering and she filled the pot with water and put it on the stove that it might be hot and ready for the offering when it came.
 Where our Christmas offerin' is a-goin' ter come from I shore don't know, but the Lord works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform, and don't reckon he is a-goin' to ferget we uns," she said, confidently. But as the day slipped by and no special Providence befell them Ike began to become a trifie nervous-not that he doubted Providence in the least, but because he feared it might need a gentle reminder at this season of the year when there were so many de.

mands being made upon 1t. So he de- cided to make little special effort of his own. He knew well enough that 1t would be a waste of time to ask the miser to give him goose or gob- bier, but he had faint hope that be- cause of the season of the year the old skinfint might perhaps soften enough to give him credit on his we'll known honesty. So he set forth in the gathering dusk and sitting snow upon his mission and in a little time was tapping at the miser's back door.
 For several minutes he tapped away and scuf1led his feet and at last the miser came forth-not as man comes forth, but in the manner you first a nose and then foot and then hand and finally the rest of him, as if he grudged even his presence, and stood frowning at Ike through the gloom. Ike's clothes were ragged and Tapping in the wind and his toes were leaking from the end of his shoes, but the smile on his face was cheerful and would have made friend of any one except miser who loved no man or woman or child or beast, and whose soul was shriveled and warped, and whose conscience was as tough as the hoof of a horse.
 What do you want?" he asked in q voice as disagreeable as the sound of filing saw.
 Ike took of his hat and his bare head began to bob conciliatingly up and down like the bobber of fish line when the fish nibbles at the hook below.
