A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.
Tho wrong food and drink causos a
lot of troublo in this world. To
chango tho food Is tho first duty of
every porsou that Is HI, particularly
from Btomach and nervous troubles.
As an Illustration: A lady In Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and sornf articles of food that did
not acrco with them. They began us
ing Postum and Grapo-Nuts food. She
cqvb:
"For a number of years I sufforod
with stomach and bowel troublo
which kont cettinc worso unutll I was
Tery 111 most of tho tlmo. About four
years ago I left off coffeo and began
tnklnir Postum. My stomacb and
knwnln Imnrovcd rltrht nlonir. but I was
so reduced in llech and so nervous that
tho least thing would overcome mo.
"Thou I chanced my food and be
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Pnntiini. I lived on thoso two prin
clpally for about four months. Dny
by day I gained in flesh and strength
until now tho nervous troublo has en
tirely disappeared and I feol that I
owe my llfo and health to Postum and
firnnn-NiitH.
"Husband Is 73 years old and ho was
troubled for a long uino with occa
elonal' cramps, and slopt badly. Finally
I nrovalled unon hltu to leave on conco
and take Postum. He had stood out
for a lonir time, but after ho tried
Postum for a fow. days he found that
ho could Bloep und that his cramrs
disappeared. Ho was satisfied and ban
never cone back to colleo.
"I havo a brother In California who
has boon using Postum for several
vpfim; his whole fumllr uso it also ue
causo they have had such good resultu
from It."

New York. A corset strike may on
gaga tho attention uf the women after
they havo finished with tho meat
9trlko, for It Is now considered "queen,
ly" to go without tho exponslvo anil
uncomfortable adornments, according
to Information received here.
Hesldcs, stylish corsets aro getting
so long it Is unpleasant to walk In
them. Any girl will toll you that.
And tho longer they make them tho
nioro they cost. Any married man
qtui tell you that the high cost of
corsets has kept pace with tho high
cost of living.
, Hut tho main thing Just now is that
Queen Elizabeth qf Houmanla has con
cluded n triple alliance against the
corsots. Three queens aro hard to
beat. In addition to Queen Elizabeth,
thoro are Queen Alexandra of En is
land and Queen Helena of Italy. All
aro bona fldo queens who can wear
what they pleaso and afford to pay
for It and havo a vast burden of court
ctlquctto to manage.
Queen Elizabeth told her court all
about It a day or two ago. She re
ceived a letter from Queen Alexandra
saying tho latter had decided that
woman's dress should follow her nat
ural lines. Even If thoso lines art
Inartistic that is no reason why a
Queen Helena of Italy.
woman Bhould endanger hor health
and posterity, says tho queen.
Tho corset, opines Queen Aloxandra,
does not carry out tho Idea of natur
al linos In dress. On the other hand,
It thwarts such an Idea and gives the
body n sort of a nom do plume. It
Is a fraud, often a Bnaro und delusion,
nnd Queen Alexandra was anxious
that her disapproval ho published to
tho world.
It was this attitude of Queen Alex
andra, according to Queen Elizabeth,
that caused tho former to lnvont the
princess Idea of dress, for which many
shapely women nro so thankful.
"Hor majesty of England," wont on
Queen Elizabeth to her courtlors, "de
spises blouses, maintaining that the
subdivision of tho femalo body by the
blouso and skirt Is uubenutlful If not
a downright sacrilege."
So Queen Elizabeth Indorsed Queen
Alexandra and then proclaimed some
views of her own.
"Tho corsot," sho declared, "Ih an
Invention of man, not of woman. Most
men Judge n woman'n beauty accord
ing to tho standard of an expensive
corsetmakor."
Quoon Elizabeth forthwith wroto u
pamphlet setllng down her reflections
on tho subject and Is having it clrcu
latcd all over Uounmnla.
It was then that the queen of Italy
becamo a part of tho trlplo alllunco
Sho gavo away all hor corsets one
for every gown and wrote to Queen
Elizabeth as follows:
"I am opposed to tho corset on
principle, because I think It un
hygienic und directly Injurious tc
women, particularly to mothers.
Women . who have studied tho func
tlons of tho body will rofuso to weai
corsots. Only thoughtless mo then
will imttato tho habits of women still
moro giddy and allow their bodlei
to bo mjuuezed tightly and their or
gans to bo distorted."

BURDENS LIFTED FROM BAD BACKS
Weary is the back that bears the burden of kidney ills. There's no rest nor pcaco for the man or
woman who has a bad back. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed.
It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tic your shoes. Ail day the ache keeps up. Any sudden
movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the suf
ferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache a throbbing, dull aching in the kid
neys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

very high opinion of Doan'o Kid

mo for several years. Thero was
a dropsical swelling of my fcot nnd
limbs In addition to other symp
toms of kidney complaint, and al
though I used various remedies, I
was not helped until I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. Two boxes
of this prcpaiatlon cured ma and I
havo never had tho slightest return
of my troublo. I havo recom
