A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot of
abuse. but some time it will surely
rebel and demand the proper food in
place of the pasty, starchy, greasy
stuffs on which il has been made sick.
Then is the time to feed Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food m
the world
lady of Washington says: Three
wears ago I was very Ill with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. / laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that / could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But, weak. as my stomach was, it
accepted and relished and digested
Grape Nuts without any difieulty the
first time that wonderful food was
tried.
my doctor told me to eat Grape
Nuts. which were predigested, and. al
though I felt certain could not keep
the food on my stomach, II made the
trial. and it was a most complete sue
cess.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for q great many years,
and am gradually growing stiil strong

She is fond of books and reading, and
of the traditions of the old days, when,
for a time, she lived in Concord, and
knew it at its best.
Newspaper accounts apparently with a
desire for the picturesque at whatever
cost to verify have from time to time
grotesquely misrepresented her. This
has been, in part, perhaps, because of the
feeling that John Browns daughter must
be in some way unusual, and in part be-
cause it once seemed strange that wom-
ann living alone should attempt the care
of farm. But to superintend a small
'prune ranch is not q difficult matter.
and for the labor therein Miss Brown has
the hands of her proteges, the Japanese.
For the last several years she has been
devoting more and more time to gratu-

occupies all that she has to give. Many

|CheCk That Cold

It is a great mistake to let a
cough or cold run unchecked. Aside
from the unpleasantness and discom-
fort there is a real danger in the
resulting irritation of the throat,
lungs and bronchial organs, which
leaves them sore and very suscep-
tible to pneumonia and consumption.
It is not our purpose to recon-
mend any particular brand of patent
cough medicine. A simple, mex
pensive and very effective remedy
can easily be prepared at home by
mixing two ounces of glycerine and
half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure with eight ounces Of
pure whisky. This formula is fire.
quently prescribed and is highly rec
commended by the Leach Chemical
company of Cincinnati, who prepare
the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure for dispensing through
druggists.
It is claimed that a teaspoonful of
this mixture four times a day will
break up cold in "a hours and cure
any cough that is durable.
