STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired a
Judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfower
state, writes a carefully considered
opinion as TO the value of Grape Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past S years Grape Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
Ole necessity in my family's everyday
life.
IL has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease 1t Is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefi.
cal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
Dy ladies' who are troubled with face
Diemlshes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
AS to its nutritive qualities, my ex.
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. 1t
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue, while
It's use involves none Of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-

BRACELET EMBLEM OF POWER.

Afterward Il Was Reward Of Brav.
cry Shown In Battle.
In the most ancient period Of his.
tory, the bracelet was an ensign of
royalty. In later times it has been
used in the East as badge Of
power.
The bracelet of Rebecca mentioned
In Genesis) weighed 10 shekels, or
about five ounces.
Among the ancient Romans the men
as well as the women wore bracelets,
but the latter never wore them till
they were betrothed.
Bracelets were at first properly mill
tary ornaments, or rewards, frequent.
ly conferred among the ancients, by
generals and princes, on those who be.
haved CALAMITY in fight. They became
afterward arbitrary decorations, as
sumed at pleasure.
"The emblems," says Fosbroke, "of
supreme authority among the British
kings were golden bands worn round
the neck, arms and knees. Ornamented
bracelets of brass have been found
round the arms of skeletons in British
barrows."
The northern people used to swear
on their bracelets to render contracts
more NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
