THE CARELESS GROCER
B%iundered, and Great Good Came of II

A careless grocer left the wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought q great blessing
to the household.
Two years ago l was a sufferer from
stomach troubles, SO acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought on a condition
OF such extreme nervousness that 1
could not be left alone. / thought l
should certainly become insane. l was
so reduced in flesh that l was little bet
ter than a living skeleton. The doc
tors failed to give me relief and 1 de-
SPARED Of recovery.
One day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take, so l tried some for dinner. | was
surprised to find that it satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what
ever. The next meal l ate of it again,
and to be brief, l have lived for the
past year almost exclusively on Grape
Nuts. 1t has proved to be a most
healthful and appetizing food, per-
fectly adapted to the requirements of
my system.
"Grape-Nuts is not only easily d.
gested and assimilated, but | find that
since 1 have been using it l am able
to eat anything else my appetite fan
cies, without trouble from indiges-
ton. The stomach trouble and ner-
vousness have left me, l have regain
ed my rlumpness and my views of
life are no longer Respondent and
gloomy.
"Other members of my family, espe-
cially my husband, (whose old enemy,
the heartburn has been vanquished)
have also derived great benefit from
the use of Grape-Nuts food and we
think no morning meal complete with

Esther Was Alarmed,

Esther, a f~1ve-year-old daughter Of
North side parents, heard much about
the dangers Of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every %precaution to
keep from coming into contact with
1t, that she and her two brothers
might not catch It,"
One day she insisted on going to
the grocery on the corner to spend
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only a few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en-
tered:
Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr.. AS house, cause they
have diphtheria and have a sign
up"
Her mother said: us that sof What

A ludicrous story is told Of an Edin-
burgh baillie, whose studies in natu-
raj history seems to have been limit
ed. The following case came before
him n day:
A man who kept a ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of a neighbor till
he should return. The neighbor in
cautiously opened the cage door, and
the ferret escaped. The owner was
very angry, and brought a claim
against him for damages.
The following was the decision Of
the learned baillie: Nae doot," he
said to the neighbor; nae doot ye
was wrang to open the cage door;
but" he added. turning to the owner,
"ye was wrang, too. What for did ye

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

IT have seer the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that of a lady friend Of mine who,
when a child, was afflicted with &C.
Zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter-
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the disagreement
looked terrible. 1 told her to get at
once a set of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
OF ringWorm. The children'g faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Ointment.
1t made his arm as timber and nice,
whereas it was quite stiff before I
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing toe
a which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right down
In the side Of my toe. l cut the nail
out Of the cavity it made, and Of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment
to the part affected. 1t soothed 1t and
in less than ten nights 1t was all
healed through constant use Of the
Ointment. Ten days ago, I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. l have Just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is recover

names of the people referred to above
If anybody doubts what I say"

he guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. It was the last to
their destination that day-an express.
