nearly all starch, and starch is digest

Up under the she'll of the wheat ber-
ry Nature has provided a curious de-
post which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
mtestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar. which is the next form: but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour. so Natures val

human system must handle the starch

them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase. outside of the human body.
In this way the stafchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in perfectly
NATURAL manner, without the use Of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape Nuts This food therefore is nat
urally pre-digested and its use in place
of bread will quickly correct the trou-
bles that have been brought about by
the too free use of starch in the food,
and that is very common in the human
race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user Will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.

A LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
fnducem%nt. Held Out by we.ter

Inducements Held Out by Western
Canada Are Powerful.
recent number of the Winnipeg
(Manitoba) Free Press contains an ex-
cellent article on the prospects in West
ern Canada. portion Of which we are
pleased to reproduce
The agents Of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different centres In the
States, will be pleased to give any fur
Their information as to rates, and how
to reach these lands
Just now there is keener interest
than ever before on the part of the
outside world in regard to the claims
Of the Canadian West as field of set
Element. AT no previous time has there
been such a rush of immigration, and
the amount of information distributed
broadcast is unprecedentedly great.
In the majority of the States of the
Union and in Great Britain the oppor-
tunitles for home making and the
achieving of even modest competence
are at the best limited. Moreover, ac-
cording to the social and Industrial con-
ditions prevalent in those communities.
the future holds out no promise Of bet
ter things. 1t Is not strange, then, that
energetic young men should turn their
eyes to Canada's great wheat belt,
where every man can pursue fortune
without the hindrance OF any discour-
aging handicap.
THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably GER
tain is borne out by the history Of the
country and its residents. The prom
Use of gain is powerful. but when added
to it there is the prospect of a CORE
spending social and civil elevation, it
should prove irresistible to young men
Of particularly desirable class for
any new country.
The Canadian West is alive with on
portunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows, who
arrive on the prairies daily, are des-
tined to become more than merely pros
porous farmers. In the near future
great municipal and Provincial develop
ment will be in the hands of the peO-
pie The stepping stone to both fnan-
cial prosperity and civil prominence is,
and will be, the farm. For every pro-
fessional opening there are hundreds
of agricultural openings. The Cana
dian prairies are teeming with oppor-
tunities for the honest and Industrious
of all classes, but they are specially
inviting to the ambitious young man
who seeks field for the energy and
ability which he feels inherent within
him. The familiar cry Of Back to the
soil! is more than a vain sounding
phrase when applied to Western Can

a Vine Shelters 300 People.

From the Los Angeles Times.
In the Carpenteria valley, half encircled
by picturesque range of the Santa Yuez
mountains, stands the worlds greatest
grapevine.
SiXty-four years ago Spanish woman
named joaquin Lugodi Ayala planted a
small twig of the Mission grape. She
watched and tended 1t with Jealous care
through its early growth and in later
years kept it neatly trellised and trimmed.
Some twenty years ago the vine was pur
chased with a plot of ground by Jacob
Wilson. who has since denied it further
compass b. keeping it constantly pruned.
Its present measurements, however are by
no means embarrassing. At the ground
the giant trunk measures nine feet nine
Inches in circumference. Five feet above
ground ii has a sirth of seven feet eleven
inches. AT a height OF six feet the trunk
branches into five divisions which radiate
In different directions. These five branches
have a combined circumference of four
teen feet eleven inches. the smallest meas
urinS two feet and the largest four feet
three inches. Within Il radius Of eighteen
feet from the trunk there are twenty-nine
subdivisions or runners each measuring
from ten TO twenty-five inches i'll circum-
ference together with countless smaller
branches The longest runner at present
reaCAes the enormous distance of seventy
SIX feet.
The trellis, which is entirely overspread.
Is I'D by 10 feet in dimensions embracing
an area OF approximately one-fourth of an
acre. A company of 800 people are said to
have at one time found shade beneath the
outrageous branches.
The vine Is still in a healthy state of
growth. and. II permitted TO do so. bids
fair to further enlarge itself by many
square rods. The largest crop ever yet
actually weighed out was ten tons. in 1885.
This did not include miscellaneous dis
tributiona to visitors and friends of the
proprietor \ common estimate OF the en-
tire yield was $4,000 pounds The larger
clusters are reported to have weighed nine
to ten pounds each.
