No remedy, official or unofficial, has

I have never been opposed at any

now opposed to its provisions, but 1
am opposed to the proposed amend

physicians the unqualified authority to

THE BEST TEACHER.
Old Experience Still Holds the Palm

For real practical reliability and
something to swear by, experience
plain old experience-is able to carry
big load yet without getting sway
backed.
A So. Oak. woman found some
things about food from Old Expert
ence a good, reliable teacher.
She writes:
Il think i have used almost every
breakfast food manufactured, but none
equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation.
Il was greatly bothered with weak
stomach and Indigestion, with forma-
ton of gas after eating, and tried
many remedies for 1t but did not find
relief.
Then decided 1 must diet and see
II 1 could overcome the difficulty that
way. My choice of food was Grape
Nuts because the doctor told me I
could not digest starchy food.
"Grape-Nuts food has been a great
benefit to me for feel like a different
person since 1 begun to eat 1t. 1t is
wonderful to me how strong my
nerves have become. I advise every
one to try 1t, for experience is the
best teacher.
IF you have any stomach trouble
can't digest your food, use Grape
Nuts food for breakfast at least, and
you won't be able to praise it enough
when you see how different you feel"

He's Not a Chicken Fancier.


Speaking Of chickens. a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted. un-
certainest creatures that walk the
family acres. Almost everybody tries
to raise chickens at one time or an
other. Looks easy-that's the deceiv-
ing part of 1t.
And it is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. II there is any change
of an intellectual nature as the size
increases the big ones know less II
possible than the little ones.
"If there is a wire partition in your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens will try to plunge through
the wire instead of going around and
walking through the door"

YOUR FALL FRock.

How to Do the Smart and Fashionable
Bead Work.
The new fall blouses and gowns are
profusely decqrated with beads. Now
is the time for the deft fingered girl
to enhance her costumes with bead
decoration. As most beadwork is done
by hand, 1t would be expensive to buy
bead trimmed clothes. as handwork is
always costly.
Beaded motifs and ornaments. bead
fringes and bead tassels will all be
prominent. with the colors' ranging
from the subdued tones to the bright
est known shades and combinations.
Orange, yellow. bright green. purple,
blue. and red are used in combination
on a background Of black. navy or
white net. Light colors will also be used
for evening gowns. such as white, pale
blue. pink. lavender, etc.. with gold
and silver bugles. seed beads and satin
beads.
White china and satin beads are
used on black net and chiffon with
white or black embroidery and vice
versa. Jet beads and bugles are used
with white satin beads and white and
black embroidery on white chiffon or
net. New chiffons and nets have a
printed design in contrasting colors.
which are brought out by au outline Of
colored. gold or china beads or by COL
