league was organized in 1891, in which
year the muster was held in Eoston

TEETH FALL OUT

If Too Much Soft Food Is Used.
Dentists and physicians maintain that
If mankind always ate soft food, the
teeth would finally drop out. Reasonable
resistance in grinding food, strengthens
and adds to the life of the teeth.
Chewing is the method nature intend
ed by which the necessary juices can be
brought out of the gums.
These facts were remembered by the
originator of Grape-Nuts, and those who
enjoy the new food will appreciate how
1t is possible to produce food that it is
an absolute pleasure to masticate.
Add to this flavor crisp and satisfy
ing, and a well fed feeling after the meal
and the popularity of Grape-Nuts is not
difficult to understand.

scientific fact. They affirm that
each human system is in itself an

of the electrodes, the feet the other.
Their proof was discovered from ex

Sciences was allowed to make on
them. This was taken the instant
