lone of the crying evils in our schools.
colleges and universities is the bad sys-
tenn employed in feeding growing boys
and girls.
Students, above all other classes, need
plenty of good, well-cooked food and a
happy state of mind in anticipation 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 our colleges and SEM
tnaries. 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 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 ac-
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 intes-
final 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.

recently called the attention or the
board Of education to the fact that
pupils of the defective class are apt
to be weak physically. Temporary aDer-
rations are often mistaken for real de-
fects, when they are only symptoms OF
physical growth, of indigestion or other
maladies. Indigestion has been respon-
sible for more than one falsehood, ana
its cure has often been followed by a
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 II
unnaturally stimulates the brain and
nerves so that proper nutriment is m
terfered with and they cannot get
sufficient rest to take the food neeoeo

of coffee.
Let the daily breakfast, particularly
at this time of year. consist of Grape
| Nuts and cream a little fruit, cup OF
Postum Food Coffee, some whole wheat
bread and possibly one or two soft
| boiled eggs. It is in possible to make
one believe what a wonderful change in
health. strength, comfort and ability
