MONEY WASTED ON FOOD.

Food prices have mounted rapidly. They are likely to keep , high. You can't afford to waste; that is> very certain.

'i o go hungry be.cause food is not obtainable is. bad enough ! hut to starve in the midst ot plenty — with good money in your pocket and no hindrance to buying—is infinitely worse. Yet, this is what a host of people are doing to-day. Starving, mind you, not for the lack of food, but because their digestive organs have lost tone and cannot properly digest the food they eat. Remember, it is not what you cat, but what you digest, that nourishes your body, and keeps you strong and healthy. Unless food is converted by the digestive processes into a condition in which it can be absorbed into the system, muscles, bone, nerves and ..brain are slowly but surely starved. ._-, Food in such a ■ tease /is' '.indeed ' sometimes ' positively' ' ha'rfriful. ; It hinders instead of'helps, weakens instead of strengthens. How ? Becauso it ferments in the stomach or intestines. Impurities are given off which find their way into the blood and affect disastrously the whole body. If you would get full value from the food you eat, you must see to it that your digestive organs are always equal to tKe work you give them io'do. Now and then, from one cause or another, they may lose tone. At such times you will find it better to save a shilling or two on food and spend it on Mother Seigel's Syrup than to pile up misery for yourself, by continuing to eat more than your weakened organs can properly digest. This renowned remedy clears the system of the injurious products of indigestion, and by toning up and stimulating the stomach, liver, and' bowels, enables yon to digest and draw nourishment from what you oat. You will then j no longer have to deplore money wasted on food.
