CURIOSITY
The Motive That Leads to knowledge

They say curiosity once killed a cat,
but if it were not for curiosity little
progress would be made. Texan tells
the following good story about his Gu
riosity and what he learned about
food: zone day down at the store I
noticed a yellow package with cur
ious name, Grape-Nuts.' The name
fascinated me and aroused my curios-
ity. I didn't like to display my igno-
rance by asking so bought a package
and took it home where 1 read all
about it. When wife and I tried it we
thought it delightful and commenced
using it morning and evening with
cream.
Before this I had suffered from lack
of assimilation of food and my stomach
was so weak that what ate for break
fast seemed to lie there long time be-
fore being digested. 1 was usually in
distress and had no appetite for dinner.
All this has changed since my diet has
been largely on Grape-Nuts. I have
gained steadily in strength, health and
weight, sleep soundly at night and get
up refreshed in the morning. Wife says
1 look like a new man and she herself
has been greatly benefited by the food.
After my breakfast of Grape Nuts
1 don't need anything in the middle of
the day as a rule but | always keen q
little of the food handy and if 1 have
any sense of exhaustion 1 just take a
few mouthfuls of it. 1t gives me imme-
date relief and does not destroy my
apuetite for dinner but seems to sharp
en- it. 1t surprises me that we never
seem to tire of Grape-Nuts although
we have now been using it for several
years" Name given by Postum Co.

The Burlington Free Press is authority
for the statement that Percival w clem-
emit 81 Rutland may bea candidate for gov
ernor before the Republican party next
year Inasmueh as the Free Press, in the
last canvas, was hostile to Mr.. Clements
candidacy, the announcement from that
source appears trife unusual. But one
would Judge from the following statement,
eThe Hon. Percival w Clement is CON
sidering the project 81 making canvas
for the Republican nomination, that the
Burlington contemporary knows what 1t is
talking about, and that It has definite in
formation on the subject. Mr. Clement
may OF may not be discussing the advisa-
bility Of entering the canvas, Still no pub
lie word has come from him to that effect,
tbs not unusual, in fact, 1t Is only natu-
raj, that man who was defeated for one
nomination should at the next opportunity
again look over the prospects for himself.
This i undoubtedly what the Rutland
man IS doing, but that Is far from a seri-
Gus decision to enter the canvas. There is
no denying that be would make strong
bid for the nomination. but the time il
long Is the next convention and Mr. Glen
eut has ample time to decide upon some.
thing different.
