PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found a ure
for constipation in children citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, Il be-
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, | have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
II write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than TO feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
1t is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as TO habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and mn Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
list will tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary TO grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, IL they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much nor thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

E S THAT RESTS.

Rest means rest.
"Cut out" worrying.
Rest with a capital r.
Few persons know how to rest.
Rushing for trains and boats isn't
resting.
Being elbowed by a vulgar mob isn't
resting.
Neither is staying home and being
annoyed by endless details.
Overdrcssing, overeating and too
much excitement are not restful.
Over Sunday rest Is best accom-
plished by a trip to some restful place.
The idea is to discover what best
agrees with one and then to follow it
as well as possible.

The French government has just
pensioned off Francois Geromini, the

Geromini was a character. He left
Corsica 60 years ago to serve in the
~grenadiers of the imperial guard. He
fought in the campaigns of Algiers
and of Rome, and also in 1870 with
Bourbaki. He was made a prisoner
and taken to Darmstadt and at the
fall of the empire became concierge
of the Bastile.
