A TORTOISE MYTH.
A Friendly Islands Story Told by Frank

A fIleluly lSlduuS SlOiy IblI Dy fTdnK
 T. Bullen.
 The great game of the sea pigs that we have just seen brings back to my memory an old story which is still told among our people, but one which we are trying hard to forget with all the others, because they are of the evil days, and stir up in our children those feelings that we have fought so long to bury beyond resurrection. This story, however, is harmless enough, although I should neither tell it to or listen to it from one of mine own people. Long ago, when we worshipped the old cruel gods, and my ancestors were chief priests of that worship, holding all the people under their rule in utter terror and subjection, our chief, yet, our only, business besides religion was war. Our women were slaves, who were only born for our service, and it is not easy now to

You Can Obtain Certain Body Building
 Results by Using GRAPE-NU7S
 FOOD.
QUESTIONING A FRIEND.

If one takes the trouble to carefully question a person that has been using Grape Nuts food for two or three weeks, the facts will be brought out that gradually there comes over the body a feeling of increased strength, particularly of mental strength and ability.
 The mind works clearer and more actively when it plays upon a brain that is refreshed, rebuilt, and proper ly constructed by the food elements in tended by Nature for such work.
 This is profound fact regarding Grape-Nuts. The food contains just the kind of material Nature must have to unite with albumen, from which to rebuild the grey matter in the brain and nerve centers through out the body. Therefore the user can expect and obtain definite result from the regular use of Grape-NuU
