A PROFESSIONAL WOMAN.
Experiments Made with Food.

a certain pr0fC ssional woman in New
York. connected with one Of the large
institutions there, has had a curious
experience with an experiment in
using a certain kind of food. 1t seems
that in October last. she had a serious
illness and was at the point of death,
the brain and body in the last stages
Of exhaustion. Her remarkable expert
ence with the food was brought to the
attention of the makers by some of her
friends. and in reply to a letter. she
wrote at follows:
Il have no objection to the public
knowing of the wonderful TRANSFORMED
ton my system has undergone by the
use of GrapeNuts since November,
1899 I began using the food when
convalescing and when in an exceed
ingly low condition. And used a small
quantity and became 50 fascinated
with the flavor that I gradually dis
continued nearly all other food, includ-
ing tea and coffee.
up to now | have consumed about
$50 packages and have gained 20
pounds in flesh. Am a marvel to all
nv friends who are aware of my
former state of health. There are
about fifty families who have adopted
the use of Grape Nuts because of my
experience. You can give my name
and home address. but do not mention
my professional connection. Mrs. F.
n. Wood. So Amsterdam Ave, New
York City.
There is reason. The makers of
Grape Nuts select certain parts of the
grains Of the field that contain delicate
particles of phosphate of potash and
aIbumen. These elements. when COM
bined in the human body, go directly
to rebuild the gray matter in the brain
and nerve ccnters of the body.
This is demonstrated fact and can
be proven by any one who cares to
make the test. When one nourishes
and builds up the brain and nerve
centers. that is practically the keynote
70 the whole health proposition, for
when the nervous system is in perfect
noise, all parts of the body respond.
Grape Nuts are for sale at all the
large grocery stores in the country
ana can he found in use in practically
all Of the best families in America.

the men who filled the hall. The
money was against him but he had Il
wealth of sympathy. 1t was probably
his natural heritage as the short end
er, but after the battle had been begun
he won more support by his display of
speed and skill.
Jeffries won with his strength, both
that strength that lies in the power Of
massive muscle and that strength
which is the essence of vitality. He
made the pace for most of the distance
and at the end was still strong and
effective. The first glance Of
the battle seemed to detract trifle
from his reputation, for it showed that
a fast man can reach him and get
away without a return.
1t is improbable that there was ever
a more orderly affair under the Hor-
ton law. There was but little betting
on the outcome of the battle. There
had been so much delay and interfer-
ence in the earlier stages of the ne
gotiations for the fight and so much
doubt created by the form showing of
the men that the betting was killed.
In the small sums placed Jeffries was
clear favorite at odds of . to L. These
odds veered at different times at diff
ferent places. during the evening, but
5 to . was probably the highest and 5
to the lowest offered. A favOrite bet
was offered that Corbett would last 10
rounds. There was more Jeffries than
Corbett money offered, but there never
was at any time any activity in the
betting.
Despite the long delay that interven-
ed between the arrival Of the men and
their entrance into the ring, the crowd
was scarcely restless. Ii was only
