ALL PARALYSIS
NOT HOPELESS
This Man Had a Form That Was
Curable and There Are
Hundreds Of Gases
Like His.

There are still people who say that no
form of paralysis can be cured.
II you have partial paralysis or some
other severe nervous disorder, do you
think it is better to be treated by some
one who insists that you are incurable,
or to take a treatment that grateful
patients throughout the United States
testify has cured them?
There are several forms of paralysis
that are durable by the tonic treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills and re-
markable proof of the fact that the dis
ease can be cured is found in the case of
Mr.. Willard P. Creech, of No. 3l5

Right now the board is taking bids

In almost every community you will find women who

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
Dyspeptie.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
sia and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble. the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything l could
get for him, it seemed.
"He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts,
got some and tried 1t for breakfast the
next morning.
I'VE all thought 1t was pretty good
although we had no idea of using It
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
1T was the same next day and
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was reg.
ular thing. So 1 began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. / sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something /
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts?'
He got so well that for the last
two years he has hardly lost day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape Nuts" Read the book, 1.-The

DELIcAcY OUT OF SEASON
Farmer Absolutely Unable to Under
stand the Possibility Of
Ice In July.

We are so accustomed to having
things "out of season." and especially
to 'he cutting and storing of ice for
use In the summer, that 1t is hard to
put ourselves in the place of the sim
pie old farmer told of by writer in
the Toledo Blade.
In the summer of 1900 party OF
surveyors was working through the
state of Arkansas, surveying and 10
eating the Midland Valley road. One
day the surveying corps stopped at a
farmhouse and shouted for the farmer.
The Arkansan came out, and the
surveyors asked him If they could get
drink.
Certainly, boys" he said. I'll give
you the best I've got. and the best I've
got is buttermilk-'
THAT will be fine" the surveyors
said. and the old farmer gave each OF
the gang glass Of buttermilk.
Its mighty good" said one of the
surveyors to McLoud.
Yes. indeed" McLoud replied. "but
it would be better If we had some ice
to put in it."
Turning to the farmer. McLoud
said. Have you any ice?"
"Ice!" shouted the farmer. tugging
at his whiskers. Ice! Who ever
heard Of ice in July?"-Youth's Com

couch. We robe it in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; we put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed 1t WITT
food convenient for 1t. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it soothing draught to rest 1t;
and we pay a doctor two dollars tc

When to Send Children to Europe.


Some people wait so long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are humiliated by others
who have already been there. Every
self-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evi.
dent injustice: at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is, between five and six. when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four
