HOW GRAPE-NUTS FOOD is CON-
STRUCTED.
s0<3G>SS3<>S<><

Grape-Nuts food is made by taking the
portions Of Barley and Wheat containing
the nutritive elements, subjecting the diff
ferent parts to different forms of treat
ment, and finally blending them in the
proper proportions.
When ready for the market 1t is in the
form of small granules from the size of
a pin head to two or three times that size.
These pieces glisten when held to the
light, showing the grape sugar crystal
lized and deposited on each granule.
This grape sugar is one of the most nu-
tritive articles Of food known, and is
produced and evolved from the starchy
part of the grains while in process of
manufacture.
No Cane or Beet Sugar is used in max
ing Grape-Nuts.
The flavor is a very delicate sweet and
the food itself is crisp and delicious.
Being fully cooked at the factory, no
preparation is required, but it is ready to
be served instantly, with little cream
or milk, either hot or cold.
A marked increase in mental strength
Is found after ten days use of Grape
Nuts.
The food contains elements which ma
ture uses to rebuild the cellular tissue of
the brain.
All first-class grocers sell Grape-Nuts
q 10 cents per package.

ARE FAT AND HEARTY,
Returned KIOndikers BeIittIe Tales
of Suffering.

George Overton and George ]. Milton
have returned to st. Paul, from Dawson
City, for the purpose of procuring ma
chinery to work valuable claims that thew
have secured in Alaska. Twice both men
have been reported killed since they left
for the Klondike, once by drowning in
Thirtymile river and once by being
caught in snowslide on Chilkoot pass
Instead of being worn by hardships, both
appear In good condition and belittle the
tales of suffering told by many of the
returned Argonauts. In this connection
Mr.. Milton says:
eff man takes care of himself there ia
no need of suffering from sickness or
cold; and II he goes out with the inten-
ton of working in a. businesslike way, he
will not fail to make money. Cleanliness
will protect a man from disease AS for
the cold, those who suffer from it do so
because they wear too much clothing
Exercise is the secret of battling the
cold weather of Alaska. Mr.. Overton and
myself dressed no warmer for the Alas
kan winter than we did fer a winter in
st. Paul. We kept warm by working.
The question of making money is
wrongly viewed by a majority of gold
seekers out there. The general impress
sion is that gold is lying around loose for
those who will pick it up. This is wrong.
