CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
Of resorting to the usual list OF medi-
cines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation

gardless of the value to their pockets,
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that was on
the verge of starvation.
II heard of doctor who had a sum-
mer cottage near me-a specialist

for him.
after he examined me carefully
he advised me to try small quantity
of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to eat more.

COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed Some
thing Of Bargain, but It Turned
Out Happily.

George A. Birmingham, the widely
known writer, says there is no coun-
try in the world where marriage, at
least in the peasant class, is more q
matter of bargaining, and yet shows
higher average Of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number of pounds, sows, or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This is illustrated in personal recol-
lections Just published by an Irish
woman. She was visiting with, an
aunt cottage in the neighborhood.
and admired fine mahogany chest Of
drawers.
"'Twas for that l was married."
said the mistress of the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and ad-
mired. A bargain was struck. There
was no money, but the bride was to
have a couple Of sheep. a yearling
bullock and the chest. The prudent
young man measured 1t, and then
turned and asked:
