SURPRISED DOCTOR.
Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability Of
Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis
ordered that they will reject every
thing else, is illustrated by the case
of a woman In Racine. Wis.
Tive years ago." she says. Il was
attacked by stomach trouble so Sc
rious that for a long time l could not
take much of any sort Of food. Even
the various kinds prescribed by the
doctor produced most acute pain.
1--WE then got some Grape-Nuts food,
and you can imagine my surprise and
delight when l found that could eat
1t with a relish and without the slight
est distress.
when the doctor heard of 1t he told
me to take several small portions each
day, because he feared l would grow
tired of 1t as l had Of all other food.
But to his surprise, (and that of
everybody else), did not tire of
Grape-Nuts, and became better day by
day, till, after some weeks, my stom-
ach entirely recovered and / was able
to eat anything my appetite craved
"My nerves, which had become so
weakened that l feared l would be-
come insane. were also restored by
the Grape-Nuts food in connection
with Postum which has become our
table beverage. l appreciate most
gratefully and thankfully the good that
your food preparations have done me.
and shall be glad to answer any letters
inquiring as to my experience" Name

How He Lost Out.

ELISHA DYER. the cotillon leader.

pos of court etiquette:
Court etiquette is. after all, very like
ordinary etiquette-the laws OF common
sense govern 1t.
did you ever hear how Multy Millions
lost his under secretaryship at our lega-
ton in London? Multy deserved his fate.
common sense was lamentably lacking.
"It happened years and years ago; King
Edward had just come into his own. and
Multy Millions was dining, for the first
time, at Buckingham Palace.
THE dinner was state one. The
splendid gold plate from Windsor gilt
tered on table and sideboard- To Multy.
when the entremets came on, the dear
Queen Alexandra said:
How long have you been living
abroad. Mr.. Millions?
-Four years. ma'am.' Multy replied IN
a loud voice-for he knew enough, or
course, to speak high and to say ma am !.
"'What? I did not hear said Queen
Alexandra.
-Four years, ma am Multy shouted.
But she repeated, What?
Then Multy leaned forward. and, with
a polite and amicable smile, he waved
four fingers to and fro before Queen
Alexandras face.
