led ms 10 advocate Grape-Nuts food and
j also know from having prescribed it to
col1valescents and other weak patients
that the food is a wonderful rebulder
and restorer Of nerve and brain tissue, as
we'll as muscle. 1t improves the diges-
ton and SICK patients always gain Just as
/ did in strength and weight very
rapidly.
II WAS IN such a low state that ] had
to give up my work entirely and go to
the mountains of this State, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact, was not quite as we'll as when l
left home. MY food absolutely refused
to sustain me, and it became plain that
Unjust change, then began to use
Grape Nuts food, and IN two weeks !
could walk NILE without the least
fatigue and in five weeks returned to
NV home, and practice, taking up hard
work again. Since that time | have felt

Beet Shortage Results
From Trust Control

New York, April 5.-The American
Beet Sugar surplus, after dividend pay
ments. was disclosed to be more than
cut in half, according to figures pre-
sented at the annual meeting in Jersey
City today. 1t stands now at only
S31 1853, against $77,733 a year ago. In
statement made to the stockholders,
this condition was explained by the
fact that q large amount Of sugar is
on hand lind unsold, being held to
supply the demand in the cpmpany's
home market. Factory profits for the
year amounted to s533,511, decrease
OF S192,l60. The company produced
only S1.053,100 pounds of refined sugar
In the last year, as compared with a
production Of 115.SS0, 500 pounds in the
previous year. This decrease In pro-
duction is the result of control by the
American Refining Company, the cane
and beet sugar now being practically
under the same control. j. Archibald
Murray, one Of the Oxnard tenants, re-
tired as director as part OF the contract
made when the sugar trust got control.
and was succeeded by H. Rieman Du-
val. a director Of the Atchison rail-
road, who represents the new interests.
