THE WHOLE FAMILY
Benefits by Pure Food.

1t has happened in a great many
cases that one member of family has
begun the use of the scientific food
Grape Nuts. and some of the other
members have taken ua the food and
while enjoying its delicious flavor have
been cured of various ailments and dis
eases which had sprung from the use
of improper food. A lady of St, Paul,
Mimi. gives an instance of this. She
says: Our year and a half old baby
has been changed by Grape Nuts from
i'll nourished child suffering con-
stantly from colds and general weak
ness to tit subject for a baby food
picture.
When We began to give her Grape
Nuts and milk we stopped all other
foods and the improvement was so rap
id that we could note the change from
week to week. Baby was made wei
and strong.
But when I suggested it to my hus-
band who had chronic dyspepsia terri
bly, he said T have dieted enough. A
man NAV as well die as to live on
health foods But I persisted and one
morning served GraDe-Nuts and
cream to him. When he tasted it he
was most agreeably surprised For the
first time in months his Tcomach and
food agreed with each other and since
that time he has improved until he IS a
staunch advocate of this delicious food.
From our family the use of Grape
Nuts spread to our friends and one ih
particular was very delicate and always
sick One day our physician, DR.. Bal,
said to her, Go home and make it your
business to eat Gra3e-Nuts- Eat it
morning, noon and night. She followed
the doctors order literally and fre-
quentiy made Grape-Nuts into pua-
dings and other dishes The results
have been a surprising gain in flesh
and she is now entirely free of all ill
ness. nervousness and IS raplaly geIIing

There are scientific reasons why this
food is as valuable to one member of
the family as TO another It IS perfect

ing on the various ENTERPRISES in ZlCn
City. 1t is not likely hat any of the
industries Will be closed down, as iE
