Kaiser Wilhelm Furnished With
American Food.

Upon instructions of a German
physician, a case of Grape-Nuts Food
was lately sent by express to the Ger
man emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm, at
Berlin. This food has come into rec
ognition by physicians as perhaps the
most perfect form of nourishment in
use.
The field grains, barley and wheat,
are blended in proper proportions,
ground and passed through some 10
or ~ different operations, during
which the starch of the grains is
turned into grape sugar.
The food is in shape of small gran
ules. perhaps twice the size of a pin
head. These are brittle and covered
with glistening crystals of grape
sugar which has been produced by
the processes and form out on the
surface of each small granule very
much as the sugar crystalizes on the
end of hickory or maple log. under
certain conditions.
This product has a delicate sweet
taste, not the strong sweet of cane or
beet sugar, but the delicate sweet of
grape sugar, and it is the most easily
digested food known, particularly APP
plicable to digestion in the intestinal
tract where so much trouble is nova
days shown from the excessive use of
starchy foods.
Most so-called health foods are in
clined to be fiat and disagreeable to
the taste. to be used under sense of
duty. Grape-Nuts, On the contrary.
is not only the highest known form of
health food, but is palatable and de-
licious. 1t is thoroughly cooked be-
fore leaving the factory and can be
served instanter, either co d with
little rich cream or made into hot
dish by pouring some hot milk or
cream over it. Grape-Nuts are also
used for dainty deserts, treated with
gelatine or fruit juices.

Nuts. Made at Postum Cereal COM

two pieces of cane make tiny spark of
light when rub them together
Humphry was n studious boy. who
spent hours in thinking out scientific
problems. Tie patted the child's curly
head and said
II do not know. dear. Let us see if
they really do make a light, and then
we will try to find ont why"
Humphry soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces of cane. if
rubbed together quickly. did give a
tiny light Then be set TO work to find
out the reason. and after some time.
thanks TO the Observing powers of his
little friend and his own kindness to
her in not impatiently telling her not
TO worry, as So many might have
done, Humphry Davy made the first
of his interesting discoveries Every
reed. cane and grass has an outer skin
of fhnty stuff. which protects the in
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves TO stand upright. -
