FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
through food experience which he
makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and l also know, from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is Won
derful builder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as l did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
II was in such a low state that /
had to give up my work entirely, and
went TO the mountains OF this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact / was not quite as we'll as
when / left home.
my food did not sustain me and
1t became plain that l must change.
Then / began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks i could walk mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
| returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that

all sufferers, consider it a duty to
make these facts public"

STOCKINGS TO MATCH GOWN.
Failing That, They Must Be Of the
Same Shade as the Shoes,
Is Fashions Edict.

Black stockings are no longer in
vogue for summer use, nor white all
fashionable for evening wear. Stock
ings are designed to match the gown,
and IL they are not to be had in the
shade of the dress then they must
match the shoes. Stockings are of
fered in all the popular colors, such
as brown, bronze, military, and copen-
hagen blues and grape, while for eve
ming wear the new rose. raspberry,
apricot. champagne, and delicate
shades of pink are the rage.
Those in Isle thread are had in all
these tones and are counted good for
morning wear. They are offered al
90 cents and up. Some are so finely
woven that they look like silk. The
least expensive are plain, while the
more costly are trimmed with hand
embroidery worked in the self-same
color. Some of the delicate trellis
patterns are elaborate.
With black and dark gowns the
black stockings worked in the same

my girls to good advantage What in
ducements does this town offer in that
way"

Knew Which Was Which,

When Uncle Boffin was a kid, his
mother on one occasion gave him two
pennies, one for candies, the other
for the Sunday school collection.
Light-hearted, he was tossing the
coins in the air on his way to the
church, when suddenly one eluded his
grasp and disappeared through a Gel
lar grating. Down on his knees he
peered into the dark pit, only to real
ize his loss. Then, looking thought
fully first into his hand, next at the
place where the d. had disappeared,
he remarked philosophically:
well, there goes the Lords

LAXATIVE FOR
WOMEN FREE

There Is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, ETC.
are usually violent purgatives Oh
cathartics, and altogether too power.
ful for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only a
mild laxatiye--in fact, none other is
needed by anyone. weak or strong
though they may be, for the object is
simply to move the bowels, and IL a
gentle laxative will do it, what is the
use Of violent one?
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has
earned a well-deserved vogue among
women and children and old folks
people who must necessarily be care.
full OF what they take.
1t Is a liquid laxative tonic and adj
mittedly the greatest stomach. liver and
bowel remedy before the American peo-
tie, as 1t comes in both sizes, and all
druggists sell ii. Its pleasant taste and
gentle action make it an ideal remedy for
women in constipation, torpid liver, sour
stomach, sick headache, heartburn and
such like digestive complaints. Its use for
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication will be
unnecessary. Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this
is so is the experience of many heads of
families like Mrs. Brannan, of Alvarado,
Va, Mrs K. l.. Stout, of Louisville Ky,
and numerous others: in fact, way out in
Williams, Cal, as Mrs. j. e. Blackmore,
of that place, writes, the whole town
seems to be using il.
If the remedy is new to you and YOU
want to make a trial of IL before buying,
send your name to the doctors address as
below aud a free test bottle will be sent
you. Then, If results are satisfactory you
~ can buy it of your druggist.

THE ROAD.

It's long road, hard road,
The road we have to travel,
And tangled are the schemes of life
We mortals must unravel.
But hope in heart win wonders work
And blithely keep us going,
Though storms are breaking overhead
And adverse winds are blowing
It's long road, hard road
And perilous the journey;
Each day that dawris new foes are met
New battles fought in tourney.
But love will gild the way with light
And keep the goal before us,
A smile to follow every sigh
And heaven bending Ger u.s.
