CECIL RHODES WILL

Provides for Proper Food for Students
Cecil Rhodes in his late will left be-
quest of $4,000 for the improvement of
the high table for resident Fellows and
tutors at Oriel College, Oxford.
Il am rejoiced to find that zone million
are has at last given some thought to
the question of dietetics in educational
institutions" says Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton in the New York Journal
One of the crying evils in our
schools, colleges and universities is the
bad system employed in feeding growing
boys and girls.
Students, above all other classes, need
plenty of good, well-cooked food and
happy state of mind in anticipation OF
their various meals.
Dyspepsia is one of the common dis
cases among the literary classes, and the
foundation for this prevalent ailment is
laid in our colleges and .seminaries. Of
what avail is a knowledge of art,
science, philosophy and government
when health is seriously undermined?"
All this comes from ignorance as to
the kind of food element the body must
have to supply the daily loss from brain
work. Bacon. meat, potatoes, white bread
and coffee absolutely will not keep
hard brain worker WE'LL food expert
perfected a perfect food for brain work
ers.
Not only in the schools but in the
home should the food be looked after.
'rhe necessity of selecting food to supply
proper nutrition to replace the daily
waste of tissue of brain and nerves is
of the greatest Importance. q
Grape-Nuts is the ideal food for
young and old who use the brain active
1y; the diastase of the grain being per-
fectly developed and the starch trans
formed into grape sugar in the most per-
feet manner.
In this condition Grape Nuts is
ready to be quickly absorbed into the
blood AMI tissue without taxing the in
testinal digestive machinery The phos-
phate of potash found in the cereals is
retained. and this with albumen. sup
plies the elements required to build the
gray matter in brain and nerve centers.
DR.. Max Groszman of New York City
recently called the attention Of the
board of education to the fact that ''pu
pills of the defective class are apt to be
weak physically. Temporary alterations
are are often mistaken for real defects,
, when they are only symptoms of physi-
cal growth, of indigestion or other mala-
dies. Indigestion has been responsible
for more than one falsehood, and it's cure
has often been followed by return to
truthfulness."
In it's predigested form, the daily use
of Grape Nuts for the cereal part of the
meal aids digestion. nourishes the body,
tones up the nervous system and quick
ems the mental faculties.
Coffee should also be banished, for it
unnaturally stimulates the brain and
nerves SO that proper nutrition is inter
fered with and they cannot get sufficient
rest to take the food needed for the
work they must do from day to day.
For the morning beverage, Postum Food
Coffee should be used in place of coffee.
Let the daily breakfast, particularly at
this time of the year, consist of Grape
Nuts and cream, a little fruit, cup of
Postum Food Coffee some whole wheat
bread and possibly ore or two soft
boiled eggs 1t is impossible to make
enc believe what wonderful change in
health, strength, comfort and ability
comes in ten days after quitting wrong
food and living on scientifically selected
food.
