again by leaving off coffee and some
articles Of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
"F'or a number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until | was Ill
most of the time. About four years
ago l left of 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 changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. 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. l feel that owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for a long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally / prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name

a Rine Old Ace.

The London Gazette. the most aus
tere and formal of all English newspa-
pers, is celebrating its two hundred
and fiftieth birthday.
The vast majority of Londoners have
never seen the Gazette, and many live
in ignorance even of the existence of
such a newspaper. For it is the Off
cial organ of the British government,
and its circulation is limited to official
circles or to those who are willing to
pay the fixed price of 25 cents copy.
In the ordinary course of events the
Gazette is published every Tuesday
and Friday, but when occasion arises
special supplements are issued at s
cents each. Since the outbreak of
the war several of these supplements
have been issued each week, and there
has occasionally been sufficient de-
mand from relatives of those men,
toned in the official dispatches to
cause the reprinting of a particular
edition.
