WRITE TO MOTHER.

Willie is too busy to write," she told a
neighbor. She went again and again
before the letter came. When it was
handed her the faded eyes sparkled and
joy lit up the care-worn face as she tore
open the letter. 1t was brief one but
it told her what she wanted to know.
Willie was well and getting along all
right. There was happiness in the
mothers heart that day as she hummed
an old song of her girlhood hours as
she went about her humble home. Will

months. But he had plenty of time in
which to write three or four long letters
to girls several times a week. If mother

if Willie could find time to write her a
long letter once a month and occasion.

Bradstreet's, date of January 9th,
says: Favorable weather has facilitated
business operations, especially in jobbing
and retail lines, which report more or
less improvement. But on the whole
trading is characterized by small-lot buy
ing, and conservatism is very conspicu-
Gus, particularly in the farming sections,
where merchants are not disposed to
carry any more goods than are neces-
sary. 1t is conceded that trade will be
late in developing-later than usual, in
fact. Still the undercurrents suggest
conservative optimism, which is tinged
with the belief that a good deal of can
vassing will be needed to produce orders,
and that profits will be light.

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start in the alimen
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat--white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats etc.
these things are digested in the small
intestines. and II we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess Of work, SO that fermenta.
ton, indigestion, and long train of
ails result.
Too much fat also lie hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
