What pensions. what millions and
billions in pensions, this horrible war
is going to entail" said Major Fitzger-
aid of Boston. He added:
And some of these pensions will go
on longer than they should. because
some of the pensioners in their old
age will marry young girls-for an old
pensioner makes a good parti, since
his pension, you know, falls on his
death to his widow.

girl of twenty or so. But she refused

Put That Pain to Use

The network OF nerves in your body,
ike the network of wires in burglar
alarm system. gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way pain is
useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is common warning of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy. respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel.
dropsy. and fatal Bright's disease.
AS special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots OF pure water.

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty. starchy, greasy stuffs on
which 1t has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago l was very Ill with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die By one doctor. l laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, 1t
accepted, relished and digesteo Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. l rely on Grape-Nuts for
much Of the nourishment that / get.
The results have certainly been won
derful In my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak 1t will not digest
Grape-Nuts.

Grape-Nuts. l was afraid / would
have to stop giving the food to him.
