MRS. ABERNATHY HAS
LAID CRUTCHES ASIDE
Gains % Pounds on Tanlac and Suffer
ing OF Twenty Years Standing Has
Been Overcome.

My wife has actually gained twenty
five pounds on six bottles OF Tanlac and
of course we think it's the finest medi-
cine in the world" said T. C. Aber-
nathy, prosperous farmer of Olif.
Texas.
For more than twenty years." con-
tinued Mr.. Abernathy, my wife has
suffered with stomach trouble. In fact
her whole system seemed to be out OF
order and she suffered terribly with
indigestion, gas on her stomach, head
ache and nervousness. Her appetite
was very poor and she could hardly eat
anything and was so nervous it was al.
most impossible for her TO sleep at all.
with all these ailments and other
complications, consisting of female dis
orders, she got into such a low state of
health that we were told an operation
was the only thing that would help her.
We decided to have the operation and
she was carried to the hospital. SO
on the fifth day of last June while pre-.
pairing Cor the operating table she slip
ped on the waxed floor and in falling
fractured her hip. This of course made
1t impossible to have the operation. 50
we brought her home.
About this time we began to hear
of the good Tanlac was doing and de
cided to get her TO try it as a general
tonic to build her up. And let me tell
you, honestly, Tanlac is the most won.
derful medicine | ever heard of. When
my wife first began taking It she was
on crutches and | thought she would
never be able to walk without them any
more, But since taking Tanlac her ap
petite Is splendid, she sleeps good and
seems to be entirely over her nervous
ness. And what seems so remarkable
to me is she has gained twenty.fiv,
pounds in weight and she has not used
her crutches in some time now and
walks all over the place without any as
sistance. | don't believe the operation
VIII be necessary now, judging from the
wonderful amount Of good she has re
ceived from Tanlac. She's one hundred
per cent better in every way than she
has been in years and Tanlac certainly
has our strongest praise"

ADVISE EATING
CEREALS TO BRING
DOWN FOOD COSTS
Declared to Be Means of Re
ducing the Expenses of
Tables.

Washington, D. C. July 1.-THE
most practical means of reducing ta-
BILE expenses without decreasing the
wholesoIneness anr adequacy of diet
hes in Increased use of cereal foods,
especially boiled grains, mushes and
breads made of corn meal and GER
eals other than wheat
Cereals contain most of the import
ant food elements which the body
needs and yet are comparatively in
expensive. They are primarily a
source of starch, needed by the body
to yield energy. They furnish also
considerable quantities of protein, one
of the most important and usually
one of the most expensive food ele-
ments, needed to build the body and
keep it in repair. In addition, cereals
furnish mineral matters, fats, fibre
and, especially If part of the bran is
left in, little-known substances which
regulate body activities
Cereals, therefore, may be used as
the relatively inexpensive basis for
meals. 1T then becomes necessary only
tb eat with them comparatively small
quantities of higher-priced foods to
make up a proper balance among the
needed elements.
Cereals Interchangeable
When animal foods or other nitro
genous foods. fruits, and vegetables
also are used in the diet, the various
grains may be interchanged freely as
availability, cost or preference die
tates. The starch of all the cereals
is practically the same. Protein. fat,
and mineral matter vary somewhat in
the different kinds, but so slightly
that the difference need not be con-
sidered in the ordinary mixed diet
In such a diet, therefore, corn or
oatmeal, for example. may be salts
factorily substituted for wheat when
the latter is scarce, without detract-
ing from the wholesomeness. of the
meals.
Forms OF Cereal Food
Thes most common form in which
cer48fsfood is consumed is bread. The
food value of bread, however, comes
from the cereal of which it is made,
and 1t makes little difference wheth-
er we get our cereal ration in baked
or boiled form. If cereals are to be
! made a more important feature of
the diet, mushes and boiled grains, as
well as baked doughs, should be eat
en- in greater quantity. Practically
my of the cereals ay be used in max
Ing some type of bread. Wheat has
been most used because it's gluten
makes possible the raising of the
dough with yeast. F1ours and meals
of the other grains. however, may be
made into baking-powder breads and
many of them can be substituted for
some of the wheat flour IN making
yeast breads.
Breakfast foods should be chosen
carefully IL economy is desired, since
the form in which the food is pur-
chased largely determines the cost
Meals from. which mushes may be
made may be obtained for few cents
a pound while specially prepared
grains ay cost up to 48 cents or even
more per. pound Bulk breakfast ce-
reals agchse-as oatmeal, commonly
may. be-. purchased at lower prices
than the sanhe@ kinds put up in car
Asus
One way to lessen the cost OF
