HAS A SAY.
The School Principal Talks About
Food.

The principal Of a high school in a
fIourishfng California city says:
For twenty-three years l worked
in the school with only short summer
vacations. I formed the habit of eat
ing rapidly. masticated poorly, which,
coupled with my sedentary work. led
to Indigestion, liver trouble, lame back
and rheumatism.
Upon consulting physicians some
dcped me with drugs, while others pre-
soribed dieting, and sometimes L got
temporary relief, other times not. For
twelve years / struggled along with
this handicap to my work, seldom laid
UP but often a burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
Two years ago 1 met an old friend.
a physician, who noticed at once my
cUt-of-health condition. and who pre-
scribed for me an exclusive diet of
Grape Nuts, milk and fruit
4 followed his instructions and in
two months / felt like a new man with
no more headaches, rheumatism or
liver trouble. and from that time TO
this Grape Nuts has been my main
food for morning and evening meals,
am stronger and healthier than have
been for years, without a trace Of the
old troubles.
Judging from my present vigorous
physical and mental state tell my peo-
pie Methuselah may yet have to take
second place among the old men, for
feel like 1 will live a great many more
years.
To all this remarkable change in
health I am indebted TO my wise friend
and Grape Nuts. and I hope the Pos
tum company viii continue to manu-
facture this life and health giving
food for several centuries yet, until I
move to a world where indigestion is
unknown" Name given by Postum

about Grape-Nuts. Those who have
tried IT know things.
