A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause lot OF
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu
larly from stomach and nervous trou
bles. AS an illustrations: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For number of years 1 suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until I was ill
most of the time. About four years
ago I left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but l was so re-
duced in flesh and SO nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day gained in flesh and strength un-
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. I feel that I owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for a long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal-the original form
must be we'll boiled. 15c and Csc
packages.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. SOC
and soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

Men in the Trenches.

Men who have been under fire in
the trenches or in the open, with
shells falling all around them and men
stricken on all sides, will tell you that
they had no fear as long as they could
fight and bear their part of the strug-
gle.
But when wounded, lying powerless
and helpless on the field, the enemy
descending on them, fear of the un.
known, of the long hours of waiting
torture, of what fate had in store for
them, has wrung groans from hearts
that no pain could influence.
Each sound, each movement con.
tanned a menace for which they had
no name, no reason, but which was
full of unutterable horror, and for
which there was no relief but merciful
unconsciousness or removal into the
zone of peace and safety.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, Feb. 16.-The destruction of
two allied warships with the loss of
384 lives was reported Monday.
Three hundred and seventy four
lives were lost when the French
cruiser Admiral Charnes was sunk off
the Syrian coast. Dispatches con-
firming the loss Of the cruiser said
that only one man, out of 375 aboard,
was saved. The ministry of marine
gave out a statement expressing fear
for the safety of the Admiral Charner,
a 4,680-ton cruiser. 1t was stated that
no word had been received from her
since Feb 8, when a German report
stated that French warship had
been torpedoed by a German subma-
rine.
Ten seamen were killed when the
British cruiser Arethusa was blown
up by mine, off the east coast of
England. The Arethusa, which has
figured in some of the most thrilling
English naval exploits of the war, is
believed to be total wreck.
The Arethusa, a light cruiser, built
in October, 1913, had several encou.
ters with German torpedo boats and
other warships early in the war, and
became known as the daredevil of the
English fleet. Her exploits inspi,
ses efai English poets to create
rhymes in her honor, and the Are
'"sa's crew were popular heroes in
