keep modifying our. couture to suit the
everchanging hat shapes. When the

our knots on top OF our heads TO fill

crowned shape prevails It means that
the hair must be slowed away around
the nape of the neck somewhere.
But though hair style changes fire.

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 ia the time to make a
turnover in the diet. for that's Ma
lures way of dropping a hint that the.
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years followed
railroad work, much of 1t 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 10 $50
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more ! ate the
poorer I 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 ii would carry me
along, strong, and with satisfied appe-
tite, until the next meal, with NO sen
sations of hunger. weakness or dis
tress rs 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
ton and much improvement IN health
Most people eat hurriedty, have
/ lots of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need food that Is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish
