Winter Use Of Fans.

There is an old story OF a monk
who would have nothing to do with
stranger who stopped at his cell,
because the fellow blew on his hands
to warm them and into his teacup to
cool the beverage. Away with
thee" exclaimed the monk. 81 will
have no man about me who blows
both hot anil cold from his mouth"
But that monk didn't live in the
twentieth century, Had he done so
and thrown away his electric fan be.
cause It did as the stranger did, he
would have lost an invaluable aid.
There are many uses to WHICH the
electric fan can be put in the win.
ter as, for example, the man who
has a heating plant IN his house can
use It for creating a forced draft,
thus aiding much in getting the house
warm on cold morning. The fan
can also be made to blow through
a radiator and distribute the warm
air more evenly. Merchants are now
using fans for circulating warm air
In the show windows to prevent the
accumulation OF frost OF course
they assist materially in ventilation
in both summer and winter.-Ths

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot Of trouble In this world. To
change the food Is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous trouble.
AS an illustration: A lady IN Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought
around to health again by leaving of
coffee and some articles Of food that
did not agree with them. They began
using Postum and Grape-Nuts food.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble,
which kept getting worse, until was
very i'll most Of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but
was SO reduced in flesh and so ner-
vous that the least thing would over
come me.
Then | changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day | gained in flesh and strength I'M
til now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and | feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he
was troubled, for a long time, with
occasional cramps, and slept badly.
Finally prevailed upon him to leave
off coffee and take Postum. He had
stood out for long time, but after be
tried Postum for few days he found
that he could sleep and that his
cramps disappeared. He was salts
fed and has never gone back to coffee.
Il have brother in California who
has been using Postum, for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from it,"
