TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do
any good then is the time to make a
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
tures way Of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For number of years / followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 205 to 100
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more l ate the
poorer l got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much / had eaten.
Then commenced a trial of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
tite, until the next meal, with no sen.
sations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
ment has been SO great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac
tion and much Improvement in health
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots of worry, thus hinderink digestion
and therefore need a food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish

Good AnoeI Of the Aviators.

There is a French woman who hides
her identity, who for months has been
sending generous contributions of
money through Le Figaro of Paris
to the French army, and most partic-
ularly to the aviation corps.
For some time no more money was
forthcoming, but a few days ago the
Figaro received this letter from her:
My savings are all gone, and am
grieved to the heart at not being able
to help our beloved soldiers any more,
especially our aviators. l wish above
all things that the airmen should be
warmly and comfortably clothed. But,
in spite of everything, have managed
to do little more for them. Please
excuse met is such a little Bit

SYTEM FOR FEEDING FOWLS
Grain, Green Food, Grubs, Grit and
Shell Are Necessary In Chicken
Diet-Dry Mash Best.

For the hen that is manufacturing
an egg every day, or one in two days,
it is impossible to get the required
nourishment fast enough unless 1t is
taken into the body already ground.
The best system of feeding, then, as
recognized the country over, is to give
one or more of the varieties Of whole
grain as means of exercise; that
is, fed in a deep litter so the fowls
will have to work for it. Then use a
variety Of ground foods to supply the
nourishment, heat and energy of the
bird.
The four "g's" give us cue as to
what is necessary in the chicken diet
grain, green food, grubs, grit and
shell. Whole grain gives the best re-
suits when two or more forms are
mixed and fed twice daily in a deep
litter. Three parts wheat. three parts
cracked corn and one part oats, or
equal parts wheat and cracked corn or
kafir, makes a good combination. One
pint to ten fowls is about the right
amount, with the heaviest feed at
night.
Ground food may be fed in either a
dry or wet form, but for breeders and
layers, dry mash is best, while for fat.
tening poultry it is better to use wet
mash. The dry form may be supplied
in self-feeding hoppers. A good mix
ture would be:
Seven pounds mill run, seven pounds
cornmeal, three pounds beef scrap,
two pounds alfalfa leaves, one-half
pound charcoal.

The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is decliu- ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamfu1 sleep, irritabi1ity and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
 To correct nervousness, Scott's Emu1- sion is exactly what you should take; it's rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from a1cchol.
