The Power of Food.

An Illinois lady who never knew what health was until she reached her roth year presents an unusually con- yincing case of the power of proper food. She says:
 T am "A years old this fall, and I never had good health that I can re- member since I was a child until com menced to use Grape-Nuts four years ago.
 From the very first could feel a vast improvement. and now in four years have gained so that do all my own work, and feel cannot say toe much in favor of Grape-Nuts and what this grand food has done for me as old as I am.
 T have recommended Grape-Nuts to several, and they all have been benefit ed by it." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
 The power of proper food (which means food that the stomach will digest and at the same times yields the all- necessary nutrimenD is almost unlinit- ed, and that's the reason ten days trial of Grape-Nuts often works a wonder.

During his youth and early manhood he became inured to hard labor, and his body was tough ened by work in the open air.

'What?" cried the writer. "Sleep out without clothes on such a night as this :? Why, we'll catch our death of cold.''
 NO, you will not. We have had con- sumptives here who walked out and slept on the grass on colder nights than this. and who never even had chill, Besides, we cover you with a blanket"
 It'll be pneumonia, sure"
 My dear sir said the doctor, with more than his usual decision. Take off your clothes and sleep on the grass. It will do you good. And if any of you catch the slightest cold will give you $1O."
 It was strange procession that wen ded it's way to the hilltop. The teeth of the writer quaked and the stones on the path hurt his bare feet.
 Over on the lawn, under the pine trees blankets had been spread during the afternoon while the sun was on the grass, so as to keep off the dew. Un-
