The truth is, the fashionable woman

Some wear miniature tall hat made

taken the chimney pot. made the
crown shallower at the back than at
the front, and added a narrow up
turned brim. Pretty girls hide their
faces by a sort Of turban that de-
scends below the eyebrows and has
an upturned battlemented brim and
feathers behind, anywhere, In fact, but
where a feather used to be. Some
wear Dutch bonnet Of silk with no

some reason. indigestion and nervous

discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with .
good quantity Of rich cream.
I'm q few days my condition
changed in q remarkable way, and I
began to have strength that I had
never been possessed Of before. q
vigor OF body and a poise Of mind that
amazed me. 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
my former attacks Of INDIGESTION
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells of dizziness,
rush Of blood to the head and neural.
gic pains in the chest.
"Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast l have been free from these
troubles, except at times when l have
indulged in rich. greasy foods in guam
tity, then I would be warned by q
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless l needed the warning the old
