From .Iudpo

A physician at a recent meeting of
the College OF Physicians in Philadel-
phia told a story illustrating the witty
comprehension of patient of Irish

explained the physician. .'If a man ID
blind in one eye, nature generally pro-
vides additional strength for the re-
manning eye. When deafness is dis
covered in one ear. the hearing Of the
other ear becomes unusually acute.
Now thot you mention it, OF belavs

FOOD QUESTION

Settled with Perfect satisfaetion By
DysDeptic.
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-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
My husband health was poor. he
had no appetite for anything could
get for him, 1t 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 q
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired Of everything l had been
able to get for him to eat one day
seeing an advertisement about Grape
Nuts, l got some and he tried 1t for
breakfast the next morning.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good,
although we had no idea Of using IL
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
at was the same next day and I
had to get it right along, because when
we would get to the table the ques-
ton. Have you any Grape-Nuts?' was
regular thing. So l began to buy
1t by the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would like for a change.
and still hear the same old question,
Have You any Grape-Nuts?'
He got so we'll that for the last two
years he has hardly lost day from
his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book, THE
Road to MELVILLE" in pkgs. There's
Reason"
Ever read the above letter., A
new one appears from time to time.
They are genuine, true, and full Of
human interest.

There isn't any puzzle
That the human mind has planned
So hard ne cannot do it
In Il fifty and offlland.
The tricks OF the magicianS,
He can do them all himself.
And the others he's invented
Simply put them on the shelf
lie makes an egg stand edgewise,
And stacks four billiard balls
In the center of the table,
And the top one never falls.
He knows the mystic features
OF the numbers nine and seven
And can write eleven thousand
'Ieven hundred and eleven.
He works the mental problem
OF the two geese and a hall.
And the theorem binominal
Just simply makes him laugh
He dopes 1t out by calculus
About the fox and dog.
And to calculate eelipses
Is like rolling off log.
But here's n stunt he cannot do
However hard he tries:
To back his wife around toward the Light
make her stand still, and along up
