glory, and was bowled by a school
boy's first ball. Whereupon the choir
at service that evening sang a hymn
containing the boastfully significant
line, 'The scanty triumphs grace hath
won.' "

and the choir celebrated the occasion
by singing:
"The heathen In his blindness
BQWS down to wood and stone."
Light Breakfasts

A great many have found that a liberal dish of
Grape-Nuts, served with cream, milk, or fruit juice,
furnishes ample morning nourishment, is easily di
gested, and promotes buoyancy and clearness of
mind.
Grape-Nuts
contains all the nourishing goodness of wheat and
barley, including the vital mineral salts of the grain,
and is a most delicious food.

"Reduction" writes: "I am seeking
some safe method to reduce my flesh.
While my frame is large I am getting
real fat, and of course it is embar
rassing."
Answer: For many years I have
placed reliance in the formula known
as five-grain arbolene tablets packed
in sealed tubes with full directions
for home use. Some have reduced as
much as forty pounds in a few weeks.
C. O. C. asks: "X am constipated,
tongue coated, have headache, di*zy
spells and indigestion some times.
Please advise?"
Answer: I advise that you beg-in
using three-grain sulphcrb tablets
(not sulphur). These tablets are
laxative, act on the liver, kidneys and
bowels and tend to keep the blood
pure, by arousing the ellminative
functions. Relief should follow
quickly.
"Secretary" writes: "I have pains in
my spine and frightful headache in
back of head, fainting spells, twitch
ing and trembling, nervousness, sleep
lessness, loss of appetite and strength,
and in fact am a 'has been,' when it
comes to performing accustomed work
and duties."
Answer: In all such cases the as
similative functions have not kept
pace with waste functions and a
powerful harmless tonic treatment Is
needed. I find three-grain cadomene
tablets unexcelled and astonishingly
beneficial in such cases and advise
them for you.

DON'T EDUCATE YOUR
DOWELS TO RELY ON
Powerful Purgatives
It's the worst thing you can do. In
time your bowels come/to depend so
much on stimulation by salts, calomel,
etc., that it is practically impossible
to obtain a natural movement. Stop
taking these drastic pur#is and take
a few doses of a purely vegetable
compound which has now been plac
ed on the market In the form of little
tablets. These little tablets act
gently but firmly both on kidneys and
liver and not only cure constipation
by removing the cause, but at the
same time strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels, so that they can do
their work without the aid of medi
cines.
Go to your druggist to-day and ask
for a 25c box of Lebanon Herb Tab
lets and take Just as directions ad
vise. always remembering that every
druggist in America is authorized to
refund the purchase price to any dis
satisfied user. Geo. A. Gorgas can
supply you.—Advertisement.

M. J. B. asks: "My hair Is too oily
and my scalp Itches with dandrufT,
and of late It Is coming out too much.
What is a good treatment?"
Answer: Obtain plain yellow mlnyol
from your druggist in 4-oz. Jars and
. apply as per directions. This cleans,
, purines, cools and invlgoratos the hair
, and scalp, thus stopping the death of
. the hair. Dandruff and Itching are at
once relieved. Men and women all
over the country now use It regularly.

1 "Weakness" writes: "Have been
1 doctoring for kidney trouble and now
' want your advice. Frequent desire
• is followed by burning pain and am
very tender and sore over region Of
bladder. Also backache affects me
, dreadfully. Can hardly move when I
' awake In the morning. Weakness,
. too, is a symptom." *
Answer: I think If you will take
, balmwort tablets regularly for a few
, weeks your kidneys and bladder will
, become normal and such symptoms
I vanish. This Is unequalled for such
I complaints In my estimation.

sands have written him expressions
of gratitude and confidence
Dr. Lewis Baker. Dear Sir:—We
have used three of the medicines you
advise, the double four, the essence
menlho-laxene and the rheumatism
prescriptions, and I want to say they
all worked like a charm. They are
the best I have ever used and I feel I
could not keep house without them.
I am very grateful and pleased to
recommend any of these medicines
prescribed. Very truly yours.
