Japanese Lovemakinq.

They certainly do things pictur-
esquely in the far East. When q
young Jap has made up his mind as
to the maiden he desires to wed his
next step is to fasten branch of a
cretain shrub to the house Of the lady's
parents. Should he prove a welcome
sutton the branch is cut down and
taken in, while if unacceptable 1t is
left to wither and die. What lot of
trouble such system must save.
There is another custom which, we
think, might find less appreciation in
Western countries. The Jap bride
groom, as in duty bound, offers the
most costly gifts he can afford to his
bride for their wedding day, but she,
instead of tredsuring them for herself,
gives them to her parents as a slight
Acknowledgement of the care and love

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of great discoveries or in
ventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food that was a
brain and nerve builder, {rather than
a mere fat maker), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
lou. nTdpt-lNuIo lie Drain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily ia
easily seen in marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making it a pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food is
In no sense stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste of brain and nerves.
It's flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it Is served instantly With
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken of, c. w. Post, Is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
