a Dietz and Thomas Baldwin in a

four Curtiss aviators who participant

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food. The old dame is al
ways faithful and one should act at
once.
To put off the change is to risk
that which may be irreparable. An
Arizona man says:
For years 1 could not safely eat
any breakfast. 1 tried various kinds
of breakfast food, but they were all
soft, starchy messes which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank
strong coffee, too. which appeared
to benefit nae at the time, but added
to the headaches afterwards. Toast
and coffee were no better. for
found the toast very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods, and use Postum and Grape
Nuts instead. 1 shall never regret
taking his advice. I began using
them three months ago.
''The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. now have no
more of the distressing sensations in
my stomach after eating and l never
have headaches. 1 have gained IL
pounds in weight and feel better in
every way.
'Grape-Nuts make a delicious as
well as a nutritious dish and 1 find
that Postum is easily digested and
never produces dyspepsia symp-
