DAME NATURE HINTS When the Food is Not Suited When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is apt to be with the food. The old Dame is always faithful and one should act at once. To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says: “For vears I could not safely eat any breakfast. I tried various kinds of breakfast food, but they were all soft, starchy messes which gave me dis- tressing headaches. I drank strcng coffee, too, which appeared to henefit me at the time, but added to the head- aches afterward. “A friend persuaded me to quit coffee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in- stead. I shall never regret taking his advice. “The change it worked in me Is ‘wonderful. I now have no more of the distredsing sensations in my stomach after eating, and I don’t have head- aches. I have gained 12 pounds in weight and feel better in every way. “Grape-Nuts makes a delicious as well as a nutritious dish; and I find that Postum agrees perfectly—never produces dyspepsia symptoms.” “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
