Boston lady talks interestingly of food and the changes that can be made In health by some knowledge on that line. She says:
 An injury to my spine in early wo- manhood left me subject to severe SICK headaches which would last three or four days at a time, and a vio- lent course of drugging at the hands or old-fashioned physicians brought on constipation with all the ills that follow.
 My appetite was always light and uncertain and many kinds of food dis tressed me
 T began to eat Grape-Nuts food two or three years ago, because liked the taste of 1t, and I kept on because I soon found it was doing me good.
 T eat it always at breakfast, fre- quently at luncheon. and again be- lore going to bed-and have no trou- ble in sleeping on it. It has cured my constipation, my headaches have practically ceased. and I am in better physical condition at the age of 63 than l was at 40.
