 After a disheartening struggle for five years against the ills attendant on mal-assimilation of food, I am at last on the high road to recovery and feel impelled to give credit where it is due
 Some years ago I had a long illness due to stomach trouble. Every meal l ate caused me iether excruciating pain or a dull heavy misery that was even worse. I weighed but 90 pounds, was almost hopeless as found that poorly nourished body means lack of brain power and ambition.
 '1 was always ravenously hungry and while I could not eat the appetiz- ins dishes on the table 1 longed for them. That longing is what prompted me to try Grape Nuts. The food had favour that I liked-rich without being heavy.
 q left off my daily laxative as l found l did not need it for Grape Nuts was so easily digested. constipa- tion soon disappeared. I found. too, that I did not grow tired of Grape Nuts and continued to eat it.

wedding was an invitation function though the church was almost filled with the personal friends of the prin- cipals. After the ceremony, which fol- lowed the wedding march, played by Carl Dowd, the young ladies' society of the church, of which the bride has been an active member, gave the new ly married a reception in the church parlors. At the conclusion of this they were taken to the depot in an auto mobile, piloted by a lot of their young friends and placed on board a Santa Fe train. for a trip to Los Angeles,
 The groom is a Phoenix man in fact though just now he claims Winslow as his home. He has been raised in this valley and is known intimately all over the country, having received much of his education here and performed his early ministerial duties in thIs county. From Los Angeles the young couple will go to Winslow where the groom is highly esteemed as pastor Of the Methodist church.
 The bride has been a resident of Phoenix about four years. her only rel ative here being a sister. She is a school teacher by profession and until recently was the principal of the Cen tral school. That her popularity is widespread is indicated by the fact that since her approaching wedding was announced her friends in school and church circles have made the event the chief incident of social i'm portance among them The young peo- pie who have known her in her school and Sunday school work are equally as apprecidtive and gave evidence of it in merrymaking last night One of them of a turn for rhyming and with d spirit bubbling with humor, compos- ed the following lines which were fur nished The Republican for publication: Get your old geography,
 You used when yous's d chap And see if you can find d place
 Called Winslow on the map. It's up among the mountains;
 Just little western town. But that's where Carrie and her man
 Are going to settle down. IF
 It's q queer place so I understand,
 And sleepy I presume,
 But when Bob and Carrie hit the burg
 Therell be a Winslow boom. The school will pick up, count on that
 The attendance list will swell, And the church will have a steeple,
 With good big noisy bell.
  So with Carrie at the school-house
 And the pulpit left to Bob, The sleepy folks of Winslow
 Will find someone on their job. A royal welcome there will be;
 Even the bird which sings Bob
 White" Has been taught to alter it bit
 So that now he chirps Bob Wright" | And the choir've got together
 And will sing d song quite airy. In the honor of the parsons wife.
 To the tune Good Morning Carrie" 1 A Phoenix preacher ties the knot,
 But Bob's a preacher too; If l were he I'd do the job
 And save q bill or two. He thinks he's made a dandy choice,
 She thinks he's out of sight; And no matter how the match turns 1
 out
 Of course they'll both be right.
