HOW MANY OF US
Fall TO Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward or Ailments?

A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds OF ordinary food until, for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
p~rostration set in.
After ! had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
| discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with q
good quantity Of rich cream
IN q few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and !
began to have O strength that l had
never been possessed Of before, q
vigor Of body and q 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 I have
INDUCED in rich. greasy foods in guam.
tity, then l would be warned by a
pain under the left shoulder blade. and
unless needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when I
finally got to know where these trou.
bles originated l returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis.
turbance left very quickly.
II am now in prime health as q
result Of my use Of Grape-Nuts." Name

Big Crowd Attended Festi vities and Athletics at
 Merrill Institute.
READY FOR SERIES
State Basketball Championship Games Are to Re Played Here
 This Week

Las,t night was gay night at the Y. M. c. A. and was the occasion for several hundred interested Pine lBluffians to be guests of the local character building association and get an insight into the work of the great organization. It was nigh of fun for the children also and many of them took advantage of it. The affair was a. public reception to give the public look-in on the association work.
 The features of the evening were some athletic drills and basketball games in the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium. They drew the crowd from tne sec- ond floor, which was devoted to the selling of candies and serving re- treatments, and muchi interest was manifested in both drills and games.
 Director Wilson first introduced his, little boys in few of their athletic stuns. Then came the Leaders in drill work which wts one of the best features of the evening.
 The basketball game between the Leaders and the Y. M. c. A. men was hotly contested battle. The little boys did brilliant work, but the men with their advantage of size romped over the youngsters despite their game fight. The work of Long at guard, for the Leaders, and O'Connor st forward for the Senior, made them stars for their respective teams. O'Connor has justly earned a reputation as a forward this sea- son. He has showed up fine ill all l their games, especially in basket shooting.
 l After the game Director Wilson announced the sfate tournament for l teams of 110 pound class, will be held here next Friday and Saturday, in which Pine Bluff, Stamps and Jonesboro will fight it out for the state championship. The fast young Leaders of the local "Y." will re- present Pine Bluff. Three games will be played Friday and Saturday and it is expected that the games 1 will be the most interesting ever staged here.
 The ladies served coffee and sand
 wiches after the games for which q small charge was made. The young
 ladies of the High School served. A nice sum was realized from the sale
 of the refreshments and homet made candies. The object of the sale was
 to pay for the wainscoating recently placed in the gymnasium, and nc
 doubt the ladies conducting the | sale for the boys, accomplished thelr
 purpose.
