CHANGE I'm FOOD
Works Wonders In Health.

Works Wonders I'm Health.
1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. II deem 1t
my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion.
81 had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recom~
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. followed instructions
and now l am entirely well.
'sThe whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If that
part of the human body is in perfect
working order, there can be no dyspep-
STA, for nervous energy represents the
steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system IL run
down, the machinery of the body works
badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by
small children as we'll as adults. 1t Is
perfectly cooked and ready for instant
use.

BABY's ECZEMA GREW WORSE

Hospitals and Doctors Could Not
Relieve Him-But Cuticura Renee
dies a Speedy, Permanent Cure.
Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave US something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
provement could be noted. Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite
cured. All that we used was one cake

 Not Begin Hostilities.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Bishor T. A. Hendrick of the diocese of Cebu Philippine Islands, said yesterday that he is sure there will be no war between this country and Japan if the initiative rests with Japan. The bishop has been in the Philippines for four years arriving here yester- day on the liner Korea. He is on his way to Rome to make a report of af- fairs in his diocese to the pope.
 The bishop, who is New Yorker, came home by way of Japan. As a resident of the Philippines he was deeply concerned in the rumors ot war, and determined while in Japan 70 learn of the situation at first hand. lis position gave him access tc sources of authoritative information md what he learned, he said, satis- jed him that the war cloud was not of Japan's making.
 Seventy per cent of Japan's ex- ports come to this country" said the bishop. Japan is financially crip- pied, but determined to recuperate and the Japanese realize that war with America would not only mean the loss of her best market-the only market for many of their most profit able products-but that in the event of war hey would be unable to bor- row the money to carry it on.'

 Was Small Affair.

Groton, Feb 15.-Captain George s. Healey of the four masted schoo- Ter Frances Hyde, which was blown 700 miles to sea, arrived home last night from Bermuda and told the story of his experience to his friends. The captain modestly insists that there was nothing in h's battle with the winds and waves to make fuss over, but his narrative shows that the saving of the craft was accom- plished by splendid seamanship and untiring exertion.
 The captain said: "We had a good run up the coast until about twenty miles from Delaware break water. On January 23 the wind sud- denly shifted to bowling north west gale and the next afternoon the spanker, boom gafs and every thing went over the side and the rlainsail soon followed. The launch was torn from the davits end the big waves dashed over the schooner continually. On the night of Janu- ary 24 Mate Chalsen was dashed against the rail by heavy sea and hIs shoulder was dislocStad.
 ''The wind blew so Lard that the tightly furled ~topsails were torn from the masts and the water that came aboard when the mate was in- ;ured flooded the forecastle and car ried off part of the deck cargo, putting the schooner down by the head about two feet. A tramp steamer was sighted on January 25, but refused to tow the schooner as the captain was having trouble of his own with the storm. The Hyde reached St George January 30 and we were happy lot when we put into the harbor."
