THINK HARD
lt Pays to Think About Food.

The unthiIiking life some people lead
often causes trouble and sickness, H.
Illustrated in the experience Of lady
In Fond Du Lac, Wis.
About four years ago I suffered
dreadfully from Indigestion, always
having eaten whatever liked, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This Indigestion caused palpitation of
the heart so badly l could not walk up
a flight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
II became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.
Hearing of the virtues of Grape
Nuts and Postum, commenced using
them in place of my usual breakfast of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and in
one weeks time l was relieved of sour
stomach and other Ills attending indi-
gestion. In a months time my heart
was performing It's functions naturally
and could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
II gained ten pounds in this short
time, and my skin became clear and I
completely regained my health and
strength. l continue to use Grape
Nuts and Postum for feel that owe
my good health entirely to their use.
There's a Reason"
81 like the delicious favour of Grape
Nuts and by making Postum accord
ing to directions, it tastes similar to
mild high grade coffee"

SPIRIT OF WORKING TOGETHER
Explanation of the Splendid Record
Made by Railroads Of
America.

For the third time this year an
American railroad reports that it has
operated its lines for IL months with
out losing the life of single passen-
ger. The Santa Fe, with it's 1874
miles of actively operated track, takes
place with the Burlington and the
Pennsylvania, on this roll of honor.
The Santa Fee carried 12,6O5,6 97 pas
sengers without a fatality.
Wonderful as this efficiency record
is, Its explanation is as marvellous.
Even more than to heavy rails, bal
last or equipment" says one of the
roads officials, 1--WE attribute the sue
cessful record for the year to the
spirit of working together, which must
run through the rank and file of the
men operating the trains" In other
words. American. Taiiroadd:as is rid
ding itself of its greatest operating
reproach by sheer will power.
This is the force that has leveled
mountains. filled up canyons, bridged
arms of the sea itself. It can have
few loftier ideals in the practical work
tngs of a railroad than the mainten-
ance OF the sacredpess of human life.
There Is every reason to believe that
Its success has been repeated upon
other lines, and that it will be ex-
tended to other systems still as it
becomes matter upon which all
American railroads feel proud spirit
Of emulation.

"Train robbers, burglars. safe blow

some crime besprinkle their clothing
literally with the loud smelling fluid
They also pour it on their guns and
knives and the tools of their trade.
The reason is that they often make
hurried fights in which they are not

Penguin would feed his wife as she
