CHANGE THE VIBRATION
II Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes, coffee, and ETC., and adopted

Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that n meat eater Will
reach a place once in while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good,
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature OF Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which 1t
is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which nils

One of the most remarkable ex-
amples OF the higher surgery has Just
been performed upon Artabanus BIZ
fle. Of Betzville. by Doc. Weaver. our
renowned COW doctor. and Artabanus
is receiving the congratulations Of his
friends. including Aunt Rhinocolura
Betz. who was unfortunate enough to
lose her left leg at time before Doc
Weaver moved to our city.
Ever since childhood Artabanus has
been SO pigeon toed that he could not
.,,lt down one foot without stepping
on the other. His usual pose when
dormant was with the left foot on
the ground and the right foot resting
across the instep of the left foot. II
he wanted to use his left foot he had
to lift his right foot on 1t first. and
hold the right foot in the air with one
hand. SO 1t would not go right back
across the left one.
For a long while Doc Weaver want
ed to operate on Artabanus's feet. He

had never done one of the kind and
SO had no one else, so far as he knew,
SO 1t would be mighty interesting. All
he would have to do would be to cut
of Artabanus's feet and slew them
around and sew them back on again.
but Artabanus said he guessed he'd
walt. He said he hated to have his
name in the papers, and that II the
operation was successful 1t would be
pretty sure to be written up. and II
1t wasn't successful his name would

put it off. and put 1t of, in his usual
careless way, until one day he got
his right foot cut off in his hay now
er. and then he picked it up and
rushed down to Doc Weaver.
Doc Weaver was as pleased as any
-uing, and went right to work sewing
the foot on, but Artabanus told him
that he wanted the foot to toe out
plenty this time. He said he had worn
that foot toeing in long enough, and
that as long as 1t could be put on any
way he wanted 1t to toe out good and
r.enty. So Doc Weaver toed 1t out
considerably. and when Artabanus left
his bed he had two feet as good as
ever, one toeing out and the other
toeing in. This put his feet in par
allel lines. for both pointed northeast.
as you might say. The right foot toed
out to the right. and the left foot toed
in to the right, and there was only
one trouble-Artabanus had to walk
In circles, for his feet were always
toed around toward the right.
It was sad sight to see Artabanus
e--:ns down town in hurry. He
came in spirals Sometimes when he
was in a great rush he would not move
forward at adjust rush around and
around in circle to the right. If he
went slowly and took great care, he
did not do much better-he was al
ways hitting the other side of the
street. Time and again. when he was
out in his field. he would start for the
other end of the field. and, every time,
he would wind up just where he start
ed from. Artabanus could not help
It. He had to go the way his feet
were headed Often, when he was
blowing, his team would start straight
across the field and Artabanus would
drop his reins and circle around back
to the plow. 1t made plowing very
slow.
But last month Artabanus had the
good fortune to lose his left foot in
manner similar to that in which he
lost the right. and he hurried down
to Doc Weaver and had 1t sewed on.
He made Doc slew his left foot around
to the left, and when the job was done
Artabanus had stylish pair of feet.
Instead of being pigeon-toed they
pointed in opposite directions. one
northeast and one northwest, as you
might say. and Artabanus was as
pleased as child with new toy. He
stood and looked at those two feet

DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE

"At the approach of Valentine day
last year I offered a prize Of FIVE dol.
lars to the little boys Of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. I have one of the stories here,
and am going to read 1t to you"
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell In love with lady
whose mother was rich toy dealer.
1.-THE poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 II he
would become drunkard.
1.-THE poor man wanted the money to

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food7
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion Of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's a good thing that this is SO because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however. use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency In the city
to increase the amount Of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81
