FOOD FACTS.
How to Properly Feed the Body.

Physicians nowadays realize how
necessary it is that the food contain the
right elements that the body requires
to rebuild itself. and replace the loss
that occurs each day from activity
ard energy.
If one lifts an arm, that means the
expenditure of small amount OF
energy, and the burning up, so to
speak, of certain deposits from the food
This means a certain loss, and this loss
must be made up each day from food.
If the food does not contain the things
required, nature hoists a flag of dis
tress; aches, ails, sickness of some sort
sets in, meaning that there is some
thing lacking in the food.
The reason physicians so generally
advise the use of Grape Nuts Break
fast Food is they know from what it
is made and what 1t contains. The
medical journals in various parts of
the world have given the analysis. The
famous London Lancet" went so far
as TO make a very careful analysis
by its own chemist. It's remarks are
worth repeating.
THE preparatory process undoubted-
ly converts the food constituents into
a much more digestible condition than
In the raw cereals. This is evident
from the remarkable solubility of the
preparation. No less than one half Of
1t being soluble in water. The soluble
portion contains chiefly dextrin and
no starch. According TO our analysis
the following is the proportion.

Supplies.

New York, Dec. 4.-Dun's index num-
Der, to be issued Dec. Z, will say:
"If man purchased his supplies for
one year on Dec. 1 they would have
cost $1O1.37, while the same quantities
of the same articles would have ag-
gregated only $7245 on July /, 1897,
the lowest point on record, and $121.75
on Jan. 1, 1860. These price records
are compiled by multiplying the quo
tations of all the necessaries of life by
the per capita consumption. Prices are
now at the highest point in many
years, and in fact surpass all records
since present improved methods of
manufacture and distribution have
been in use. and agricultural opera
