WISE WORDS
A Physician ON Food

A physician out in Oregon has views
about food. He says:
II have always believed that the duty
of the physician does not cease with
treating the sick, but that we owe 1t to
humanity to teach them how to pro-
tect their health, especially by hy-
gienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty l
take great pleasure In saying to the
public that In my own experience and
also from personal observation / have
found no food to equal Grape-Nuts and
that 1 find there Is almost no limit to
the great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases Of sickness and
convalescence.
at is my experience that no physical
condition forbids the use of Grape-Nuts.
To persons in health there Is nothing so
nourishing and acceptable to the stom-
ach especially at breakfast to start the
machinery of the human system on the
days work. In cases of Indigestion l
know that a complete breakfast can be
made of Grape-Nuts and cream and 1
think 1t is necessary not to overload
the stomach at the morning meal. l also
know the great value of Grape-Nuts
when the stomach Is too weak to digest
other food.
This Is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all
manner of chronic and acute diseases
and the letter Is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for
it."

Wellville'' In pkgs. There's a Reason"

are genuine, true, and full Of human
Interest.

WANTS MORTGAGE ON
PROPERTY ANNULLED

Seeking to have a mortgage cancelled
which, she says, was held on her
property by the bankrupt Knight-Yan-
cey Cotton company. Mrs. Irene w.
Lamlkin yesterday brought suit in the
chancery court against w. s. Lowell,
trustee for the bankrupt firm, claim
ing as grounds for her petition breach
of contract.
Mrs. Lamkin alleges that she gave
the KniSht-Yancey company a mort
gage on her property to secure an
indebtedness of $4,000 or whereabouts,
incurred by her husband, H T. Lam
kin, as a result of some unfortunate
speculations which he was invited by
the cotton firm to engage in.
The petitioner further claims that her
husband cleared his indebtedness with
the Knight-Yanoey company but that
no credit was given for the payment
on the books of the company, and no
return made Tor the mortgage granted.
Mrs. Lamkin therefore prays that the
mortgage be annulIed as dead In
strument.
