THEY LAUGHED
At the Arguments on the Packages.

The husband of an Ohio woman
brought home some packages of Grape
Nuts one evening and there was much
discussion, but let her tell the story.
"Two years ago I was thin and sick
" and suffered so from Indigestion, was
very nervous. and could not sleep at
night, I was not able physically or
mentally to perform my duties and
was constantly under the care Of our
physician. / had tried plain living
and all the different remedies recon-
mended by friends but got no better.
cone day my husband brought home
two yellow boxes and said. The grocer
wants US to try this food and report
how we like it. he thinks it will help
you I read all it said on the boxes
about Grape ana I remember how
| laughed at it. for I thought it foolish
to think food could help me. But the
next meal we all ate some with cream.
We liked and enjoyed the deliciously
crisp and new flavor so we kept on
using GrapeNuts. not because we
thought it would cure me but because
we liked it.
at that time we had no idea what
| the results would be but now | am
anxious to have the world know that
today l am a we'll and strong woman
physically and mentally. l gained over
| 30 pounds. do not suffer from any of
the old ails and 1 know that it is to
Grape-Nuts alone that / owe my re-
stored health. They call me Grape
| Nuts here in the home and all of my
| friends have asked me the cause of it
all. 1 have persuaded several of them
| to use Grape-Nuts and every one of
| them who has done so has been bene-
| fitted and | wish it We're in my power to
induce everyone who is sick TO give
this wonderful food a trial. We still
have Grape-Nuts three times a day
and never tire of it." Name given
| by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
Ten days of this nourishing and COM
pletely digestible food will show any
one who is run down from Improper
feeding great change, sometimes
worth more than a gold mine because
it may mean the joy and spring of per-
feet health in place of the old ais.
Trial proves. "There's reason"
Look in each pkg. for the lannon's
little book, 1.-THE Road to Wellyille."

the deliberate and mature judgment of
the people would be. SO the great
papers are those which anticipate the

great tribunal Of the American people
may be implicitly relied on to decide all
questions with unerring and exact JUS

must be SO thoroughly American. 50
discreet, 50 far-sighted. and so sure Of
the pulse of the people as to discern the
course public opinion will take, though
the instant decision is always for the
right. And the part of leadership is to
know the right and honestly. patriotic

Just as long as the press can dis

sRYAN's HOPES RENEWED.

Mr.. Bryan hands his grave diggers
a solar plexus blow and shows
through the selection Of Mr.. Davis
that he still has thirty-seven years of
opportunity before him. Shades of
the prophets! Suppose Methuselah
had been man of Bryan's type and
that the party of Jefferson had been
in existence then and tried for 925
years to thwart his ambitions. Here
is what Mr. Bryan says in his Com
moner:
Some objection is being made to
Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate
for President, on account OF his age.
Mr.. Davis, as all know who enjoy his
personal acquaintance, is exception
age. No one would guess him more
than seventy and doubtless he feels
younger than that. To Offset any
argument that may be made against
his age it must be remembered that
his nomination encourages aspirants
party. In 1896 the party nominated
a Presidential candidate who was
only thirty-siN. AS it's Vice Presiden-
tial candidate is eighty it is evident
from the record that there are forty
four years in every Democrats life
on the National ticket. What party
can offer more in the way of oppor-
tunity ?-The COmmoner.
