Finally Found Food that Cured He

Finally Found a Food that Cured Her.
''When l first read of the remarkable
effects of Grape-Nuts food, / determined

ridge, of Salisbury, Mo. cat that time
there was none kept in this town, but my
husband ordered some from a Chicago
traveller.
II had been greatly afflicted with sud
den attacks of cramps, nausea, and vom-
iting. Tried all sorts OF remedies and
physicians but obtained only temporary
relief. AS soon as began to use the new
food the cramps disappeared and have
never reappeared.
My old attacks of sick stomach were
little slower to yield, but by continuing
the food, that trouble has disappeared
entirely | am today perfectly well, can
eat anything and everything wish with
out paying the penalty that l used to.
We could not, and would not keep house
without Grape Nuts.
My husband was so delighted with
the benefits l received that he has been
recommending Grape-Nuts to his Gus
toners and has built up very large
trade in the food. He sells them by the
case to most of the leading physicians Of
the county, who prescribe Grape-Nuts
very generally. There is some salts
faction in using really scientifically
prepared food.'

MUSIC In THE SCHOOLS
What is Done to Cultivate the
Art in ManitOWOC.
CHILDREN ARE APT IN THE STUDY.
Many of Them Are Able to Render Three
Part Songs Music no Longer an Accom-.
pIIshment but Considered Neces.
sity in Education.

Manitowoc has just cause to feel
proud over the progress made in music
in the public schools, and to-day can
boast of taking the lead with some of
the most progressive cities where music
holds an important place among the 9TH
er branches of education. A leading
educator says, heretofore music has been
considered rather rs an accomplishment,
but to-day few fail to realize its intrin-
sic value and the relation it holds to
general education, Another says, "Mu-
sic is entitled to hold a conspicuous
place in the course of common school
education. The benefits therefrom are
broad in their scope and the influence of
| it is manifest in individual life"
In talking to Miss Mabel Harvey who
has undertaken the supervision of music
in the public schools during the past
fourteen months, she says: Music as
taught in the public school is not to be
considered as an accomplishment-hut
rather one of those stu dies necessary for
the development of harmony-bl blending
the different faculties of the child-mind
that he may be enabled to combine in
formation observation and intellectual
employment into one harmonious whole
ut stimulates and strengthens the
memory, teaches the children to use
their lungs properly, thereby benefting
them physically, cultivates patience, fl
deity, accuracy and ardor.
Miss Harvey is very enthusiastic over
her work and is'a gifted young woman
who has enthused the children with a
greater love of this beautiful art. In
many of the classes the children are able
to render three-part songs and exercises
and carry their part Independently.
Great progress is evinced in all of the
other grades and the pupils do the most
creditable work.
