ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t IL
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
"I had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit OF
food such as l then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
II lost flesh until / was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First I dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although / had little faith it would do
me any good.
"But continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. / feel as If life had truly begun
anew for me.
81 can eat anything l like now in
moderation, suffer no i'll effects, be on
nv feet from morning until night.
whereas year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring have been able to do it myself
all alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And I can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me year ago."
There's a Reason"

BADGER NEWS NOTES
WISCONSIN HAPPENINGS TOLD
IN BRIEF FORM.
BIG FIRE AT MARINETTE
6aWyer-Goodman Lumber Company
Has 100000 Loss-Ten Acres
Aflame-Twenty Million Feet
of Lumber Destroyed.

Marinette.-Fire which broke out in
the vast lumber yards of the Sawyer
Goodman company for a time threat
ened the city and the valuable mills
of the company. The loss was approx
mated at 100000. 1t is estimated
that at least 20,000000 feet of lumber
ready for shipment was destroyed.
The Sawyer-Goodman company has
only recently concluded a deal which
will call for the building of new vii
lage to be known as Goodman in the
heart of the forests north of the city.
Here it expects to erect large mills,
the raw supply being sufficient to keep
the plant employed for several years.
The fire originated, it is believed,
from a spark from the waste burner
from the mill in the No. yards, the
smaller of the two yards operated by
the company in this city When dis
covered it had gained considerable
Roadway. When the fireboats re-
sponded to the alarm they found that
the slips were filed with logs, making
approach difficult. A strong south
west wind was blowing at the time.
The flames crossed an intervening
open piece of water and licked up
the huge lumber piles on the second
pier and rushing onward with rush
and roar again leaped an open piece
of water and another until the lumber
on piers Nos. and 4 had likewise
fallen victims to the greed of blaze.
Meanwhile the firemen were practical
ly helpless. Menominee across the
river was appealed to for aid, but even
the efforts of the combined depart
ments were futile in the teeth of the
roaring furnace.
