one thousand business men from all
parts of the south were present at the
opening here this morning of the

der the auspices of the Merchants' and

THE CARELESS GROCER
Blundered and Great Good Came of It.
A careless grocer left the wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.
■Two years ago I was a sufferer
from stomach trouble so acute that
the effort to digest ordinary food gave
me great pain and brought on a con-
dition of such extreme nervousness
that I could not be left alone. 1
thought I should certainly become in-
sane. 1 was so reduced in flesh that 1
was little better than a living skele-
ton. The doctors failed to give me re-
lief and I despaired of recovery.
"One day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take. so I tried some for dinner. I
was surprised to find that it satisfied
mv appetite and gave me no distress
whatever. The next meal I ate of it
again and to be brief 1 have lived
for the past year almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Tt has proved to be a
most healthful and appetizing food
perfectly adapted to the requirements
of my system.
"Grape-Nuts is not only easily di-
cested and assimilated but I find
that since I have been using it I am
able to eat anything else my apnetite
fancies without trouble from indiges-
tion. The stomach trouble and ner-
vousness have left me. I have regained
mv plumpness and my views of life
are no longer despondent and gloomy.
"Other members of my family es-
pecially mv husband (whose old
nemv. the 'heart-burn.' has been van-
uished) have also derived great bene-
It from the use of Grape-Nuts food
nd we think no morning meal enm-
dete without it.” Name elven by Pos-
um Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.

TOMORROW
All Our Valentines
Have Their Prices Cut in Half
ALL of our Valentines —those hand-painted beauties
as well as the medium-priced and cheaper ones —all
have been cut in half for tomorrow —none are reserved.
Possibly some one has been overlooked who when St.
Valentine’s day has passed you will regret that you had
forgotten. This is the last opportunity.
For those whey habitually buy the best to pay half—-
to get two Valentines for the price of one.
For those who limit their expenditures to get doubly
fine Valentines at the usual outlay—or to get two Valen-
tines for the price of one.
The stocks at half price are strong particularly in the
finer Valentines—a delayed shipment of them which
reached us late yesterday having their first showing today.
