CECIL RHODES WILL,
Provides for Proper Food for Stu
dents.

Cecil Rhodes in his late will left a 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 one mil
lionaire has at last given some thought
to the question of dietetics in educa-
tional institutions" says Elizabeth
Cady Stanton in the New York Journal.
'One of the crying evils in our
schools, colleges and universities is the
bad system employed in feeding grow
ing boys and girls.
Students. above all other classes,
need plenty of good, well cooked food
and a happy state of mind in anticipa-
ton of their various meals.
Dyspepsia is one of the common dis
eases among the literary classes, and
the foundation for this prevalent all
ment is laid in cur colleges and semi
naries. OF what avail is a knowledge
of art, science, philosophy and govern
ment when health is seriously under
mined?"
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 well. A
food expert perfected a perfect food for
brain workers.
Not only in the schools but in the
home should the food be looked after.
The necessity of selecting food to sup
ply proper nutrition to replace the daily
waste of tissue of brain and nerves is
of the greatest Importance.
Grape-Nuts is the ideal food for
young and old who use the brain act
lively; the diastase of the grains being
perfectly developed and the starch
transformed into grape sugar in the
most perfect manner.
In this condition, Grape-Nuts is
ready to be quickly absorbed into the
blood and tissue without taxing the in
testinal digestive machinery. The phos-
plate 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 cen
ters.
DR.. Max Groszman of New York City
recently called the attention of the
Board of Education to the fact that
pupils of the defective class are apt to
be weak physically. Temporary abb
creations are often mistaken for real
defects, when they are only symptoms
of physical growth, of indigestion or
other maladieS. Indigestion mas been re-
sponsible for more than one falsehood,
and it's cure has often been followed by
a return to truthfulness."
In it's pre-digested 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 quickens 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 suffi-
cient rest to take the food needed for
the work they must do from day to
day For the morning beverage, Pos
tum 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. a
cup of Postum Food Coffee, some whole
wheat bread and possibly one or two
soft boiled eggs. It is impossible to
make one believe what a wonderful
change in health, strength, comfort and
ability comes in ten days after quitting
wrong food and living on scientifically
selected food
