amateur says: "A man would faint away
on that" but my dear friend we will put
dollars to your pennies that the moor
hour will find a man on our breakfast
huskier and with a stronger heartbeat
and clearer working brain than he ever
had on the old diet.
Suppose, If you have neverreally made
a move for absolutely clean health that
pushes you along each day with a spring
in your step and a reserve vigor in mus
Gle and brain that makes the doing OF
things a pleasure, you join the army Of
plain old common sense" and start in
now. Then after you have been 2 or 3
weeks on the Grape-Nuts training you
write a statement of how you used to be
and how You are now. The simple facts
will interest Others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except on
permission, but we often tell the facts
in the newspapers and when requested
give the names by private letter.
There is plenty Of time to get personal
experience with Grape-Nuts and write u
sensible, truthful letter to be sent in with
the list of words, as the contest does not
close until April Both, 1906. So start in
as soon as you like to building words,
and start in using Grape-Nuts. Cut this
statement out and keep the Y-l-O-
Grape-Nuts before you and when you
write your letter you will have some
reason to write on the subject why !
Owe Grape-Nuts."
Remember 331 persons will winprizes,
which will be awarded in an exact anu
Just manner as soon as the list can be
counted after April goth, 1906. Every
contestant will be sent a printed list OF
names and addresses of winners on APP
plication, in order to have proof that the
prizes are sent as agreed. The company
is well known all over the world for abb
solute fidelity to Its agreements and
every single one of the 331 winners may
depend on receiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel 1t useless to
contest, but when one remembers the
great number of prizes-(331)-the Curl
osity of seeing how many words tanreal-
ly be made up evening after evening anil
the good, natural fun and education in
the competition, 1t seems worth the
trial; there is no cost, nothing to lose
and a fine opportunity to win one of the
many boxes of gold or greenbacks.
We make the prediction that some
who win a prize Of gold or g%reenbacks,
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than a wagon full
of money prizes.
There are no preliminaries, cut out
this statement and 60 at 1t, and send in
the list and letter before April Goth, 1905,
to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, Battle Creek,
Mich, and let your name and address be
plainly written.

A Method Of COOIsinE That Makes
rough Meat Tender.
BraisinE is a method OF cooking
which IS something like both boiling
and baking. but differs from either. It
Is a favorite French way OF cooking
and Is regarded as both economical
and good, for It converts inferior pieces
OF meat into tender tasty dishes.
First of all, pan having tightly
fitting cover Is essential, In France a
special cover Is made in such shape
that live Goals can be spread over the
top. This is necessary, because much
Of their cooking Is done with charcoal
With our stoves we can use either
metal or earthenware. The latter is
preferable. because the heat is kept
more uniform, but any kind of deep
covered pan or kettle will do the work.
The meat which Is to be cooked Is ar
nuged in the pan or Kettle with or
without eatables. according to the ia
vor desired; water. sauce stock or n
savory sauee added The dish is then
tightly covered and placed in a slow
oven to cook From half nm hour to
one hour is allowed for ench pound of
meat, according to It's touEhness. The
meat will brown some even while a
part of the liquid is cooperating. When
It is desired well Drowned the cover is
removed half nm hour before dfshing.

Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty after
they have been put away for a few
days. The way to prevent this hap
peninG is before you put them away
to rub little warm grease over them
and then wrap them up in brown pa
per. When you take them out to use
dip them in hot water that has had n
small piece OF soda dissolved in 1t. rub
dry. and then put them to heat in the
usual way. When they are ready to
lie used on the ironing board have Il
piece of brown paper with n little pow
dered bath brick on 1t and rub the sur
face of your Irons with this. It seems
rather a lengthy process, but it really
does not take long to do it. and house
wives will he rewarded for the trouble
they have taken 10y finding the irons
delightfully."- smooth and easy to use.
and when they are like this the Irouing
