STRONGER THAN MEAT.

a Judges Opinion of Grape-NHts.
A gentleman who has acquired Jul
dicial turn of mind from experience on
the bench out in the SunfiOwer State
writes a carefully considered opinion
as to the value Of Grape-Nuts' as food.
He says:
For the past five years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill Of fare.
1.-The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispens-
able necessity in my family's every
day life.
1T 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 it is beyond value. l have been
particularly impressed by the bene-
fetal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, 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 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
its use involves none of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-
low meat breakfast" Name given

about twice as much in proportion to

while in Milwaukee county it is only
