They Saved His Life.

Does it pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and 60 back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-
florists on the South side believe it
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out a new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave 1t a twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
man at a crossing. The victim was
so shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an in
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad. but that they
had better go back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make it for him that
when they took him home to his wife
he introduced them as "The two young
mel who saved my life"
They are now thinking Of applying
for Carnegie medals.

MRS. SELBY AND PRIZE BABY

81 have always used Cuticura Soap
and no other for my baby and he has
never had a sore Of any kind. He
does not even chafe as most babies
do. l feel sure that 1t is all owing to
Cuticura Soap, for he Is fine and
healthy, and when five months old,
won a prize in a baby contest. 1t
makes my heart ache to 60 into so
many homes and see a sweet-faced
baby with the whole top Of its head
a solid mass of scurf, caused by poor
soap. I always recommend Cuticura.
and nine times out Of ten the next
time l see the mother she says: OH
/ am so glad you told me Of Cuticura.

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forqot That He Had a Stomach

Talking of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to q
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor OF q
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, n
editor must keep his physical powers
I'D to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected FOOD
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which car be r~eadilyNyas-
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.
my personal experience In the use
Of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
q Philadelphia editor, 80 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further x
position in that direction would seem
to be superfluous. They have bene-
flied me so much, however, during
the five years that I have used them
that I do not feel justified In with
holding my testimony. e
General high living with all
that the expression implies as to a
generous table, brought about. indi-'
gestion, in my case, with restless
ness at night and lassitude In the
morning. accompanied by various
pains and distressing sensations
during working hours.
"The doctor diagnosed the condi-
ton as 'catarrh Of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good. I finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea
and coffee and heavy meat dishes,
and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum
as the chief articles Of my diet.
IT can conscientiously say, and I
wish to say it with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that eve came on my
table.
my experience is that the Grape
Nuts FOOD has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How 1t does 1t I
cannot say, but I know that after
breakfasting OH Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has a stomach,
let alone stomach trouble It Is, In
my opinion, the most beneficial as
we'll as the most economical food on
the market, and has absolutely no
rival" Name given by Postum Co.,
