ATLANTA, Ga, May 29.-Sam Small,

asked for prayers at the TOrrey-Alexan-
der meetings being held here. The
meeting last night had rather dragged.
although Dr. Torrey had preached a ser

unctness the warning of the coming
judgment before the bar of God.
Just as DR.. Torrey was about 10 de-
srair a chair was moved back on the
platform. and at his side stood Sam
w Small, every muscle in his body
quivering with emotion. yet when he
spoke his voice was clear and distinct.
'Dr. Tcrrey," he said, Il once ac-

his salvation, but have drifted Ear
away. and God knows I need to repent.
and God helping me. do now and here

his head fell on the table in front OF
him. while he wept. An instant hush

FACT III

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t affects
the bowels because white bread is near
" all starch. and starch is digested in
the intestines, not in the stomach proner
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
Nature has provided a curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when II is
subjected to the saliva and to tho nan
creatic juices in the human fntestines
This diastase is absolutely necessary
TO digest starch and turn it into Crane
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 ,,sI,,-
able digester is thrown out and the b,-
man system must handle the starch as
best it can. without the help that Ma
ture intended
Small wonder that appendicitis. pari-
tonitis. constipation. and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we go so contrary to
Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food. knowing
these facts, made use III their experi-
ments of the entire wheat and barley
including all the parts, and subjected
them TO moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the dia-
stase, outside of the human body.
In ms way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a 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 naturally nre-
digested and its use in place OF bread
Will quickly correct the troubles that
have been brought about by the too free
use Of starch in the food. and that ia
very common IN the human race today.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontinu-
anee of ordinary white bread. is very
marked. The user win gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
