1t is rarely that one of these con

principal business to come before the

A STRONG STAFF
The Power OF Fur, Food.

Some years ago, when we lived in
New York City, husband and l lost
four of our little one during the hot
weather.
when we moved to Vineland, \.
T.. we made the acquaintance Of the
food Grape-Nuts. 1t was here that
our little girl. Majuba. vas born, but
she was so frail and skinny that we
feared VIC would lose her as VIC had
tho other babies. When she was
eight months old We learned about
Grape-Nuts and began feeding her
this food, and 10Y wherever she goes
our friends feel her arms. she is so
plump and her flesh is so firm.
II am convinced that Grape-Nuts
with n little white sugar and boiling
water would ave many a poor baby's
life during the hot weather when
milk is sour and the little ones suffer
most.
after seeing the power of Grape
Nuts upon our little girl my hus-
band began its use. and all last sum-
mer, when we lived at Essington, Pa,
he ate Grape-Nuts and no meat. AL
though he was working at the hard
est laboring work, digging bitches all
this time, he felt strong and well
without the meat just so long as he
had Grape-Nuts." This lady's name
