WHAT THE KING EATS
What's FIJI for Him.

A Mass. lady who has been through
the mill with the trials Of the usual
housekeeper and mother relates an
Interesting incident that occurred not
long ago. She says:
Il can with all truthfulness say that
Grape-Nuts is the most beneficial of
oil cereal foods in my family, young
as well as old. 1t is food and medi-
cine both to us. A. few mornings ago
at breakfast my little boy said:
Mamma, does the King eat Grape
Nuts every mornings?
II smiled and told him l did not
know, but that l thought Grape-Nuts
certainly made a delicious dish, fit for
a King" Cts a fact that the King of
England and the German Emperor
both eat Grape-Nuts.)
II find that by the constant use of
Grape-Nuts not only as a morning ce-
real but also in buildings, salads, etc.,
made after the delicious recipes found
in the little book in each package it
is proving to be great nerve food
for me besides having completely
cured long standing case of indiges-
tion." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There is no doubt Grape-Nuts is the
most scientific food in the world.
Ten days trial of this proper food
in place of Improper food viii show in
steady, stronger nerves, sharper brain
and the power to go" longer and
further and accomplish more. There's
reason.

little book, She Road to MELVILLE"

Simple, Patent From Which New, York.
er Drew Thousands.
What do you think of patenting a
hole?' said New York man the
other day, "and making thousands of
dollars on, it? Simply a hole, and
that's all. That is what was done By
the manufacturers of certain style Of
toothbrush which has wide sale. The
hole was drilled in the handle of the
brush near the end, and with each
brush was given little hook, with in.
structions to hang the brush on the
hook by use of the hole. The thing
was widely advertised, with the result
that millions of the brushes were sold
at prices much higher than others Just
as good. The patented hole and the
advertising did the trick. The patent
expired a few months ago, however,
and now any manufacturer Of tooth
brushes can sell holes with his goods"

it rests with the people Of Morristowh
