A RATIONAL FOOD CURE.

One Of the well-known grocers in Wash.
ington, D. c., who supplies the food Of
many Of the brainy, representative men OF
the country, says: :" have become an
enthusiastic consumer Of Grape Nuts. II
has constituted solely my morning and
evening meal for the past eight months.
Previous to this, worn out with over
work, broken down IN health, dyspepsia
having led to Brights disease, heart
trouble and what not, | was given up to
die. This food came to my notice through
one OF my customers. The name sug-
gested something In the dessert line
dried fruit, prunes, raisns or the like,
and when | put il in the store, a glance
at the label persuaded me to make trial
personally.
had at the store for my supper, dish
and a half dish, and was impressed,
perhaps unfavorably, with its richness,
perceiving at the same time how very
appropriately the new food was named.
Strange as il may appear, its effect was
almost at once apparent. Seated that
evening At my home, | remarked to the
family that il was the first time in a
whole year that | had felt like myself.
| was much elated and naturally at
trbuted the change to Grape-Nuts. My
improvement since then has been con-
tinuous, my health is better than ever
before, | look ten years younger and
tleman does not care TO have his name
quoted publicly, but his store can be
found at 726 Eighteenth Street, Washing
ton, d. c.
Now for the reason. The man or
| woman worn out with overwork or
| nervous prostration will find an imme-
| diate gain in strength by the use OF Grape
Nuts and cream, because OF the fact
that natural phosphate OF potash
| obtained from certain parts OF the grains
is one Of the strong elements in Grape
Nuts, and this Is presented to the system
| in the form demanded by nature; not as q
| drug.
The system takes up the needed par
ticles Of phosphate Of potash and il is
now known that the soft gray matter
which fills the delicate nerve centres
throughout the body as we'll as the brain
and the solar plexus, can only be made
and renewed from day TO day by the ac-
ton OF phosphate of potash on albumen.
Albumen is one OF the principal elements
OF all food, but unless albumen has with il
in the system a sufficient amount Of
phosphate Of potash, il cannot be trans
formed into brain matter without the &C.
ton OF this particular element, for there
is no known way to make gray matter ex-
cept by the combination OF albumen and
phosphate OF potash.
Therefore, when one uses Grape Nuts,
he makes use of the best scientific knowl-
edge of the day in the selection of food
for invigorating and re-vitalizing the body.
This food has become famous throughout
the world, and il is to be found in every
| first-clasS grocery store. Grape Nuts are
| made by the Postum Co. az their factories
| in Battle Creek.-Adv.

years supplied milk to the Borden Condensed
Milk Company at It's factories at Brewster.

the farmers were organizing and intended to

WHO'S THE "HEAD OF THE HOUSEp"
The Question Whether the Wife Ever Occu-

RICHMOND. Va, Sept. lbs woman the
head OF the house?" was the question pro-
pounded to Secretary Brent OF the State Board
OF Education In letter received from Gooch-
land county to-day. Mr. Brent is diplomat.
and by the reply which he sent. it may be do
cided without doubt this correspondent was n
woman He told her TINT so far rs his knowl-
edge went. she was head OF the house"-de
fncto. but he would have to investigate further
before he could say whether she was de ,urc.
This same question was raised in the United
States District Court few weeks ago. when
Mrs Marion II. Richardson filed a petition in
bankruptcy In which she claimed the exemp-
ton Of certain household goods from liability
for debts The referee decided that tho ex-
emptton law applied only to the head OF the
house." and that woman VINO Is living with
her husband and is supported by him cannot
be considered as such.
Judge Edmund Waddill. Jr,. sustained the
referee and allowed an appeal from his decis-
ion. The case will probably be heard in the
United States Circuit Court this fall.
