BUILT OVER.
Food That Rebuilt Mans Body and
Built II Right.

Built It Right.
By food alone, with knowledge of
what food to use, disease can be
warded off and health maintained,
also many even chronic diseases can
be cured. 1t is manifestly best and
safest to depend upon food to cure
rather than too much drugging.
A case in point will illustrate A
well known man of Reading, Pa,
Treas of a certain club there, says:
'T have never written a testimonial
letter, but l have been using Grape
Nuts about year and have recovered
my health, and feel that l would like
to write you about it for the case is
extraordinary.
For five years l was a sufferer
from a dreadful condition of the bow
els; the trouble was most obscure
Here follows a detailed description
and the condition certainly was dis
tressing enough "details can be given
by maiD.
Nothing in the way of treatment
of drugs benefited me in the least
and an operation was seriously con-
sidered. In May, 1901, commenced
using Grape-Nuts as food and with
no idea that it would in any way help
my condition. two or three weeks
time 1 noticed an improvement and
there was a steady gain from that
time on until now 1 am practically
well. 1 don't know how to explain
the healing value of the food but for
some reason. although it has taken
nearly a year, 1 have recovered my
health and the change is entirely at
tributable to Grape-Nuts food, for 1
long ago quit medicine. eat only
Grape Nuts for breakfast and lunch
con, but at my night dinner I have
an assorted meal" Name furnished

Cures Drunkenness.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee-drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra
zil, for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively, and all the inhabitants
drink it many times a day, intoxica-
ton is rarely seen. The foreigner
who settles there, though possessed
of ever such a passion for strong
drink, gradually loses his liking for
alcohol as he acquires the coffee
drinking habit of the Brazilian.

Trees Without Leaves.

There are great forests of leafess
trees in Australia. They are acacias,
or wattles, as some people call them,
and their being leahess is simply an
adaptation to the dry climate. They

their growth is complete they shed
the leaves and breathe through the
little stem that remains, because mois-

crouch on branches, with dripping
backs set against the tree trunk as
shelter from the driving storm, they
have the air of being very sorry for
themselves" But even the orang ou-

never seems to think of a roof, though

wet it covers itself with the leaves of

A comical vindication Of the rights of
property among the savages of New
Guinea was witnessed by Il missionary,
the Rev. James Chalmers. Service was
just beginning in the little church when
n native boy came in dressed with
what he considered great magniticence,
In shirt. AS the savages were accus-
toned to go nearly naked, this garment
made the boy very conspicuous.
The shirt had once belonged to some
white man, and the Importance 1t gave
the present wearer was tremendous.
But when his glory was at it's height a
bigger boy appeared, hot with rage and
carrying n jacket. He fell upon the
first lad and began stripping Off the
shirt. The rest of the congregation, un-
derstanding at once that the rightful
owner had arrived, gave him not only
sympathy but practical aid. They rose
to their feet, and those who were near
by took part in the stripping process.
Presently the true owner was invested
in shirt and jacket, the congregation
cooled, and the service went on.
