A BOYS BREAKFAST.
There's a Natural Food That Makes
Its Own Way.

There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls.
N. Y, who Is growing into sturdy man
hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. 1t
might have been different with him, as
his mother explains:
my ~11-year-old boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made SO by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At five years he was a very
nervous child and was subject to fire.
quent attacks Of indigestion which
used to rob him of his strength and
were very troublesome to deal with.
He never seemed to care for anything
for his breakfast until l tried Grape
Nuts, and I have never had to change
from that. He makes his entire break
fast of Grape-Nuts food. 1t is always
relished by him and he says that it
satisfies him better than the ordinary
kind of a meal.
Better than all, he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be a splendidly
developed fellow since he began to use
Grape-Nuts food" Name given by

Around the fireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and grown
ups can play with their wits and see how
many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest number
of words will each receive a little box
containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win n box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each wiz a box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will receive
a box containing 100000 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit OF
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for absolute
fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no name
of person. Both the singular and plural
can be used, as for instance grape" and
grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical anne authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E, and
other columns to fill in later as new
words come to you, for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some contest
ants will tie with others. In such cases
a prize identical in value and character
with that offered in that class shall be
awarded to each. Each n will be re-
quested to send with the list Of words a
plainly written letter describing the ad-
vantages of Grape-Nuts, but the contest
ant is not required to purchase a pkg.
These letters are mott contain poetry, or
fancy fourishes, but simple, truthful
statements of fact. For illustration: A
person may have experiencedsomein cip-
lent or chronic ails traceable to unwTse
selection Of food that failed to give the
body and brain the energy, health and
power desired. Seeking better conditions
a change in food is made and Grape-Nuts
and cream used in place Of the former
diet. Suppose one quits the meat, fried
potatoes, starchy, sticky messes OF half
cooked oats or wheat and cuts out the
coffee. Try, say. for breakfast, a bit OF
fruit, a dish of Grape-Nuts and cream.

1t is said lfat a reporter who was
assigned to tai. with an American

was repeatedly refused admittance to
his house. Then he sought out a sem
ator. who was a personal friend O., the
millionaire. and petitioned his aid.
Armed with the senator's card, he re-
turned to the m~illionaire's house and
sent in his talisman. This time he was
admitted. Young man. said the mil
~lionaire. do you know that 16 report
ers have called upon me about this
very question. and that I have refused

331 people will earn these prizes.

amateur says: "a man would faint away
on that" but my dear friend we will put
dollars to your pennies that the noon
hour will find a man on our breakfast
huskier and with a stronger heartbeat
and clearer working brain tlan he ever
had on the old diet.
Suppose, if you have never really made
a 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 a
sensible, truthful letter to be sent in with
the list of words, as the contest does not
close until April 3Oth, 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 letters Y-l-O-
Grape-Nuts before you and when you
write you 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 and
Just manner as soon as the list a be
counted after April 30th, 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 we'll known all over the world for alb
solute fidelity to Its agreements and
every single one of the 331 winners may
depend on receiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel it useless to
contest, but when n remembers the
great number of prizes-(331)-the Curl
osity of seeing how many words canreal-
ly be made up evening after evening and
the good, natural fun and education in
the competition, it 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 ~greenbacks,
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 go at 1t, and send In
the list and letter before April Both, 1905,
to Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, Battle Creek,
Mich, and let your name and address be
plainly written.
