REASONED 1T OUT
And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been bother
ed great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and I made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me 80 dull. heavy and I'M.
comfortable. and unfit for business
after meals. I concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what it could do for
me.
II have been using It for some
months now. and am glad to say that
do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do the work for
which 1t was intended.
II have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is pleasure
once moroccan take more interest In
IT, and my mind is clearer and more
alert"

A Tilted Brooklyn man is suing the

defense a woman's inalienable right

GUARANTY.

The capital of w. w. Kimball Co.
is exceeded by but few of the larg-
est banks of the United States. This
enables them to buy raw material
in great quantities, to make every
separate portion of the instruments
in their own factories, and is the
strength of the Kimball guaranty,
which goes with every instrument.
This is the climax of w. w. Kimball

Hawley Traction company and it was
complete in every way from the ven
tilator on the top to the regulation
advertising signs on the inside.
When a car of this kind can earn ten
dollars in thirty-three minutes it
looks to us that the benefits from
the real thing would be on the
right side of the ledger. The people
of this vicinity are anXiously await
ing the time when they can use their
money to a better advantage in 60
ing and coming from Hawley and
Honesdale than is now furnished.
The time is coming when we must
have it in order to keep abreast with

in our pockets to hear the bells OF

Company ring ''all aboard" When
we travel to Honesdale year after

LARGEST OUTPUT.

The product of the Kimball fac
tories is more than double in volume
that of any similar institution in the
world. To you this has much sig
nificance, indicating great popular
ity. 1t signifies all that unlimited
capital can command, as w. w.
Kimball Co. purchase for cash and
accommodate their customers as to
terms of payment. 1t means that
the manufacturers can afford to sell
at a small profit, obtaining results
from more volume of sales. This
is also proof of ability of w. w.
Kimball Co. to furnish the most for
the money.
