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. To go hungry because food is not obtainable is bad enough! But to starve in the inidsi'of plenty—with good money in your pocket and no hindrance to buying —is infinitely worse. Vet, this is what a host of people are doing today. Starving, mind you, not for the lack of food, but because their digestive organs have lost tons and cannot properly digest the food they eat. Kenrember, it is not what you eat, hut what you .digest, that nourishes your body and keeps you strong and healthy. Unless food is converted by the digestive process, 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 case is indeed sometimes 'positively harmful. It hinders instead of helps, weakens instead of strengthens. How? Because it i'ermeufs in tho 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 oat, you must see to it that your digestive organs are always equal i,o the work you give them to 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 'ban 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 eat. You will then no longer have to deplore money wasted on food. ■ ■ '
