Walk To Your Meals
Like A Man
Eat What You viii and Learn to En-.
Joy Food and to Digest 1t
HERES THE SECRET. FREE

Make UP your mind after reading
this that you will let the next meal
hold no terrors for you.
You can enjoy il. You can digest it.
All that is needed is to give nature the
juices she lacks. to give the stomach
tating acids. alkalies and gases which
turn food and nourishment into gas
and decomposition.
When a system is run down and de-
pleted it needs building up. Ashes
won't rekindle a fire and wrong di-
gestive fluids will not take proper
juices from food, no matter how good
the food is.
Is this common sense? Men spend
years and even life experimenting on
the human system. what it lacks in
disease and what it needs in perfection.
This knowledge is known to every
physician, or should be. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are compressed natural
vegetable and fruit essences which,
when mixed with the saliva of the
mouth go into the stomach capable of
di digesting a full meal and they digest
it to the uttermost shred. Then such
a meal does man good and 1t gives
to him the means to overcome stomach
troubles. Forty thousand physicians
use these tablets and charge you for
writing a testimonial of their merit
which they call prescription. Any
you box for SOC. Think of it. Every
druggist carries them. Here's common
sense again. Don't this tell YOU there
is merit? Go to your druggist today.

meals knowing that they will not cause
you pain. Send us your name and

While the appointments will be marked

quisite taste and the gowns to be worn

sign and coloring.

closest friends, Miss Marguerite But
tiers and Miss Julia Dixon of Merced.

who will act as best man, and the two
ushers. who will be Lieutenant Church,
L. s. N. and George Fuller. The guests
will be only the relatives and close
friends Of the couple, but the event is
Of social Importance on account of the
popularity of the bride and the prom
inence of the Turner family in naval
affairs. Captain Turner is stationed at
Mare island, where the couple will re-
side after a brief honeymoon trip.

NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief

Many persons are learning that drugs
are not the thing to rebuild worn out
nerves. but proper food is required.
There is certain element in the GER
eals. wheat, barley, etc. which is grown
there by nature for food to brain and
nerve tissue This is the phosphate OF
potash. of which Grape-Nuts food con-
tains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat an6
barley. are retained. That is why sc
many heretofore nervous and rundown
people find in Grape-Nuts true nerve
and brain food.
"I can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as nerve renewer,'
writes a Wisconsin bride.
"A few years ago, before my mar
riage. I was a book keeper in a large
firm. I became so nervous toward thf
end of each week that it seemed I mus
give up my position. which l could moi
afford to do.
Mother purchased some Grapefruit
and we found it not only delicious but
L noticed from day to day that I was
improving until finally realized I was
not nervous any more
Il have recommended 1t to friend:
as a brain and nerve food, never hav.
Grape Nuts. as it saved me from 3
nervous collapse and enabled me to re.
tain my position.

that they had fooled the voters of the
