Result of Rural Delivery.

One of the unexpected results oi the extension of the rural free delivery ser vice is the discontinuance of postofices in the smaller rural communities. As a result of the extensions of the service last year 1906 postOfIices were discon- tinued, effecting a saving in the sal aries of postmasters aggregatins S116S07.
 Although these economies were not anticipated by those who advocated the free mail delivery for rural districts, it was inevitable that the delivery of mail to farms in the vicinity of the smaller rural villages would do away with the necessity fer postomces in such communities. .
 In this connection 1t will be interest ing to watch the effect oi the gradual extension of the rural free delivery service upon certain urban centers. Those who are familiar with the habits of the rural population know some thing of the power of the postonice as a factor in community life. It forms the centripetal force that draws from rural areas and creates the nucleus of town. It affords in many instances the only excuse the farmer can offer for driving to town, although the ne- cessity for an accessible trading center is also an important factor in building up an urban settlement.
 That which took the farmer to town once a week or less often is now de- livered every day at his door. His contact with the world of industrial and intellectual activity is more inti- mate and direct. A portion of the in- ducement for going to an urban cen ter is withdrawn, and ultimately the tendency to migrate from the farm to the town permanently may possibly be checked.-Chicago Record Herald.

HILL BROOK FARM.
The Owner Comments on Grape-Nuts


\ farmer with his out of door
work might have reason to expect
more than the average of good
health if he would use proper food
and have it well cooked. but many
of them. in middle age, suffer tor
ments from dyspepsia, and follow
ing that weakened nervous system.
To show the value of change in
food we quote from n letter written
by l.. Flagler, owner of Hill Brook
Farm, Charlottesville, Va.
Il have spent very considerable
amount of money in trying to cure
my stomach trouble with medicines.
and have changed climate several
times. About two years ago l was
taken worse. My heart and kidneys
gave me much trouble. l could not
sleep nights. Was very nervous, thin
and discouraged. Finally l changed
my food and began taking Grape
Nuts Breakfast Food. This agreed
with me and l thought L could see
my way out, so 1 have stuck to

/ know that Grape-Nuts caused the
change, and although 1 am now able
to use other food as / like, still 1
stick to Grape-Nuts because 1 know
how it nourished me, and besides,
wife and 1 both like the food"
She says nothing has helped her
nervous system like Grape-Nuts. We
buy the food by the case and are
very enthusiastic in regard to it,
1t is plain that nervous, worn out
people can be brought back to health
by using Grape-Nuts.
