WISB WORDS
A Physician on Food
'A physician out in Oregon has
views about food. He says:
"I have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating, the sick, but that we
owe it to humanity to teach them
how to protect their health especially
by hygienic and dietetic laws.
"With such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to
the public that in my own experience
and also from personal observation I
have found no food to equal Grape
Nuts and that I find there is almost
no limit to the great benefit this food
will bring when used in all cases of
Bickness and convalescence.
"It is my experience that no physi
cal condition forbids the use of
Grape-Nuts. To persons in health
there Is nothing so nourishing and
acceptable to the stomach especially
at breakfast to start the machinery
of the human system, on the day's
work. In cases of indigestion I
know that a complete breakfast can
be made of Grape-Nuts and cream
and I think it is necessary not to
overload the stomach at the morning
meal. I "also know the great value
of Grape-Nuts when the stomach is
too weak to digest other food.
"This is written after an experience-of
more than 20 years treating
all manner of chronic and acute dis
eases, and the letter is written vol
untarily on my part without any re
quest for it."
Read -(he little book, "The Road
to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a
Reason."
Ever read the above letter? A now
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
five minutes. Fine for lunch or pic
nic dinner. Mrs. B. J. M., Missouri.
Feathers
In many families, the feather pil
lows are heirlooms, and are kept as
such long after they should have
been consigned to the placo where
worn out feathers go. Feathers, like
everything else, wear out, break, get
dusty and lump into heavy masses,
if not attended to and aired regular
ly. After having been used for
many years, feathers are unhealthy,
as they have absorbed all sorts of
impurities and t)dors, and while no
longer fit for head-rests in bed, they
may bo renovated and put into new
ticking for sofa and porch pillows.
Freshly-plucked feathers should not,
under any circumstances, bo used for
pillows. Unless thoroughly dried and
carefully attended to, they are pro
lific breeding places for vermin and
are apt to take on an odor that is in
no sense healthful or pleasant. They
should not be put into ticking until
thoroughly cured, cleaned and puri
fied. The day for featherbeds to
sleep on is happily past, and should
never be revived.
Outside the Rug
Various methods are adopted
where the floor left bare by the rug
is not in good condition. A width
of some carpet of plain color and
good quality may be tacked down,
and the color must not be obtrusive.
There are cotton and wool fillings,
plain tapestries, and other kinds that
may be used. In some rooms, mat
ting may be used to cover the bare
ness. Denims in solid dark colors
is sometimes used, as it is very in
expensive. A good coating of paint,
followed by two or three coats of
varnish will answer in most in
stances. Our young people of either sex
should be taught to do; they need
the combination of manual effort
with mental work, and real results
of importance can not be obtained
without this combination of hands
and heads. This is being recognized,
and the future is bright with
promise.
