CAN YOU USE
A STRONG,
STURDY SET OF
BRAINS :?
EAT
GRAPE=NUTS

A MAN SAID.

i don't believe you can arrange food
so that it will so to rebuild and nourish
the brain. Grape-N Nuts IS most de-
hghtful tasting food, but can't under
stand how you expect any certain food
to be appropriated by any certain part
of the body"
A good, honest skeptic and well worth
attention.
Actual results are better than any
theory pro or con. Grape-Nuts are be-
ing eaten by millions OF Americans and
any interested person in any city Of
America can satisfy himself by ques-
tfoning his neighbor as to the result of
the use of Grape Nuts.
The testimony is given over and over
that after 10 days use there comes a
feeling of strength, sturdiness, clear
ness Of intellect and power of the mind
that is unmistakable.
There is reason.
Thinking uses up each day parts of
the filling of the cells in brain, and Ma
ture demands albunlen and natural
phosphate Of potash (not from the drug
store) to make new the soft jeily-like
substance which Isl used as the filing Of
these brain cells
Crape-Nuts contain these elements di-
rect from Mother Nature, and prepared
in the form Of most delicious and
dainty food, practically pre-digested
and quickly absorbed into the system.
The hard, stubborn facts are that
Grape-Nuts do build brains.

Card From Mr.. Will.


Eds. Record Union: In this morn
ing's Record Union appeared IAN
article under the title, Result of a Fool
Joke that purports to be an account of
an occurrence happening the evening
before on | street in this city. The story
is so highly colored that at first glance
II would seem as if a most deplorable
accident had taken place
The facts are these: One of our Chi
nese. customers had been driving his
outfit alongside of ours, and we had
been talking over business matters with
him. AT a point nearly opposite the
corner of I and Fifth streets we finished
the conversation, and / started to in
crease the speed of my horse, but be-
cause OF the close proximity of his, the
blow intended for my animal unfortu-
nately hit the wrong one and it instant
ly shot past me, beyond the Chinaman's
control, down that thoroughfare
Rumor has it that this is not the first
instance of its having run away, but as
was partly to blame for it's start this
time, | have already paid for the dam
age sustained-a broken shaft
With reference to the injury alleged to
have been received by Mrs. Wash
burne's little girl, wish to state that I
have been informed that she was not
so badly injured as the report would
indicate. Eye witnesses have told me
that there was ample time in which to
get the children to places of safety.
The horse had been running several
blocks before 1t took to the sidewalk
where 1t ertangled itself in a railing
and was caught.
| regret the accident as strongly as
does the mother of the child but I do
not think | should be reported as play
ing fool jokes" since it was not from
a desire 10 joke" but because of an ac-
cidentai stroke that it all happened. In
justice to myself, I beg you to correct
the impression made by the article men,
