COULD COOK
But Couldn't Eat.

A man who has seen many years sail
ing as cook on the finland Seas" as the
Great Lakes are called, has learned a
thing or two about food as the following
story shows:
II am a cook on the Great Lakes and
have for five years suffered more than
pen or tongue could tell from stomach
trouble and have taken medicines enough
to float the boat 1 sail in, and yet with
out any relief from pain.
There were long stretches of time
when l could not even keep milk or
wine or the lightest kind of food on my
stomach and l had fallen away from las
to los pounds in less than two years l
saw so much in the newspapers about
your food Grape-Nuts that one day l de-
cided to try it although without the least
hope of success.
so l bought package in Cleveland
and made the trial and my stomach was
so cranky / was afraid to try more than
one teaspoonful with a little milk
To my surprise l kept 1T on my stomach
without any bad feelings and at the end
OF an hour 1 knew it had digested and
gone to the right spot so l tried two tea
spoonfuIs more with the same result
And now for the past seven months
have lived almost entirely on Grape
Nuts where before l simply lived OF
medicines Which consisted principally o.
opiates that relieved me for a time but
shattered my nerves and weakened my
stomach.
Soon after / began Grape Nuts | gave
up all medicines for l saw that Grape
Nuts was remaking me. Now my nerves
are back in their proper shape and my
stomach is so strong l can eata lmost any
kind of food without any suffering what
ever.
1T may interest you to know that youl
food is very fine in cases OF seasIcknes'
for In this line it has no equal. In many
cases of very rough water | have glver
GrapeNuts to people on my boat who
were seasick, when the sight OF ever
coffee would be unbearable hut few
teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts prepared
with only water was taken and more
asked for and given with perfect re-
suits.
You never saw two healthier or hap
pier youngsters than my two grand
children who eat nothing else for break
fast or supper but Grape Nuts There
are two other men on my boat beside,
myself who eat nothing else but Grape
Nuts Tor breakfast. Had it not been fol-
this perfect food 1 would now b" depend
ent on my relatives for support ThS
fellows on the boat make fun of me
when they see me coming along with ms
little yellow package but L guess under
the circumstances l can afford to laugh
with them"

With Letters,

The advocates of the continuance of the
saloon in Raleigh are flooding the mails
with literature against the dispensary.
These letters contain no argument and
purport to come from preachers in other
States. One of them is so silly as to be
amusing. Attention is called to this to
put the opponents of the saloon on notice
that the saloon men are hard at work. 1t
is said that they have paid agents. at
work in every division of the wards in
the city, making a thorough campaign.
Afew weeks ago we were told that the
saloon men intended to do nothing These
later report indicate the contrary.
