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 jiot'pbtdjna,ble is bad enough ! But to starve m- the midst of plenty — with goodlnoney in»your pocket and no hindrance to buying — is infinitely Tivorse. Yet, this is what a host df people are doing to-day. Starving, mind you, not for the lack of footTpbut because their digestive organs have lost" tone and cannot properly, digest the„food tney'teat. Remember, ill is '.not wKStTjyou eat, but what you digest, that nourishes .yoflj*, body! .an.d keeps you strong, and 'healthy..' ' '■"'■ -IJnTess food is converged by the digestive processes into a cohdtion m which lfccan-be abspr.bed into the system, muscies, .'fcjme, nerves, and brain are slowly bnt:au»ely„ starved. Food m such a case is-jjrideed sometimes positively harmful. lir hinders instead of helps, weakens in-' stead of. .strengthens. How? Because;, it ferments m. the stomach or intestines. Impurities are given off which find theirway into the blood and affect disastrously the whole body. If you would get full value Ifrom the the food you eat, you must see to it i that your digestive, organs , are always equal to the work you give them to do. Now and then,, from one .cause . or another, they may losta tone. At such times you *v-/ill find it better, to save a shilling or two on food and spend it oh Mother Seigel's Syrup than to pile, up misery for yourself, by continuing to -eat more than your weakened organs can properly digest. :y^ ;This renowned remedy clears the system of the injurious products of indigestion, and by toning up. arid stimulating tho stomach, liver and bowels, enables yo*u to digest, and draw nourishment from, what you eat. You will then no longer have to deplore money wasted on food..

teresting to know the nature of Mr Masßi>y*R communication with the Commonwealth authorities. The first interim report of the Board of Trade showed beyond alt possible doubt that tho Prime Minister's attempt to regulate tho price of wheat m this country was a. ' most deplorable fiasco, resulting m a cool j .£300,000 .or £400,C0l) being taken out of j the pockefcs of the consumers by a little group of speculators. As much as this may be said without reflecting upon the honesty of his intentions ot- upon his capacity as a politician; but if he should now undertake to regulate the price c<' wheat coming from Australia, he will deserve much moro scathing criticism than any directed against him m connection with his previous deals. Tho New Zealand grower, who m nine cases out of (en passes his advantage on to the miller and the speculate*, is already protected through the Customs tariff to the extent of nearly 6d a bushel, and to raise a f-urther barrier against cheaper wheat would bo a positive crime against the wage-workers of tho Dominion. : ; • -■' ■ »' ; i>
