Found the Food that Saved His Life.
A good old family physician with a
lifetime experience In saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed, and-but let him
tell his own story. For the first
time in my life OF ~sixty-ons
years / am impelled to pub
licly testify to the value CT a largely
advertised article and l certainly
would not pen these lines except that.
what seems to me a direct act OF
Providence, saved my life and am
impressed that it Is z bounden duty
to make 1t known.
For 3 years l kept falling with
stomach and liver disorders until I
was reduced 20 lbs. from my nor
NAL weight. When l got too low to
treat myself, 8 of my associate physi-
clans advised me to put my house In
order for would be quickly going the
way of all mankind. Just about that
time l was put ON a diet OF Grape
Nuts predigested food. Curionsly
enough it quickly began to build me
up. appetite returned, and in Is days
| gained 6 lbs. That started my re-
turn to health and really saved my
life.
"A physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such a letter, but in
this case l am willing to declare II
from the housetops that the multi
piled thousands who are now suffering
as did can and relief and health a.
easily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. II

70 Keep In Touch With Business Dur
ing Lunch Hours.
What is described as the latest luz
ury-although to many people =
would seem an intolerable nuisance
is the lunch table telephone. Placed
on restaurant tables, when ordered BY
customers, 1t serves to keep them IN
touch with their business or social
connections.
The merchant during his luncheon
hour can thus be kept in communities

the restaurant in the evening can book
seats for the theater Or make appoint

In this way, it Is claimed. busy men
