A TRIBUTE TO BRITISH PLUCK.

If you are wounded by savage foe ano
hugles sound retire,
There s something in the English after
all;
You may bet your life they'll carry you
beyond the zone of fire.
For there's something in the English
after all:
Yes, although their guns be empty, and
tn cir blood be ebbing fast.
An d to stay by wounded comrades be tt
fall 40,
Yet. they'll set their teeth like bulldogs
and protect you to the last,
Or they'll die, like English soldiers, aftel
all.

GRAPE
NUTS
NEVER UP A NIGHT.

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan, r.
J. HILL druggist, discovered that one
Of the most perfect and safe ways to
wean a bake was to begin feeoing Grape.
Nuts. the famous breakfast food.
His letter states: ''If there Is a baby
food that is better than Grape-Nuts, 1t
must be dainty. We began feeding our
little Garcia Grape- NUTS before weaving,
and Tor few months after it was her on
ly food, and fatter, more healthy child
could not be found. We were never up a
night. nor did she have days sickness
We didn't realizs when she gave up the
nurse. Consequently we feel grateful for
the product called GIape-Nuts, aud wish
you success"
This coming from a druggist who has
nccess to all the we'll known baby foods il
somewhat remarkable. but when one
realizes that Grape Nuts are composed
OF the most nourishing parts of the ce.
reals, treated by heat, time and moist.
ure, without any drugs Whatsoever, and
thereby with scientific processes, actually
pre-digested, in the same manner that
the human body changes the starch oi
the cereals into a delicate grape sugar,
it Is easy to understand Rhy the food
can be handled by even a very young
BABY.
1t is not only the most powerful nutri
tive food for athletes and strong men,
but, as seen, it is applicable to the most
delicate stomachs. This tact has beer
proyan nyar and ovar a0afn Inv usa with
invalids and weak babies. Add to these
nutritious features, the fact that Grape.
Nuts Ia of most delicious flavor, the
grape sugar to be seen glistening on tbs
little granules, and u reason Is discoyeres'
for the universal and enormous sale d
the new food product,
Grape-Nuts are made by the Postum
Cereal Co.. Ltd, at Battle Creek. AND
sold by all flrst-ciass dealers.
