National Council, but which. ere 1t comes

Landwehr. They ask that in the case of
the recruits instead of period Of sixty
five days one Of seventy days should be
fixed. and that the Landwehr's course o.
instruction should be eleven instead OF six
days
The petitioners base their arguments,
which may be of interest in England to
those who advocate the creation Of a mill
tia army. on the lessons taught bg the
Russo-Japanese war. on which Col

less drawn their inspiration from t. Swiss
officers consider that seventy DAYS cousti-

FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
tho famous food. Grape-Nuts, yields Us
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds Of meat, bread. wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts. but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large n pro.
portion Of, rs the body can take up
from one pound Of Grape.Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi.
gested. transformed into a form Of
sugar. ready for immediate assimila-
tion. People in all parts Of the world
testify to the value Of Grape.Nuts.
A Mo. man says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grapc-Nuts food. 1 can
truly recommend 1t to thin people,"
He had been eating meat, bread, ETC..
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape.Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight Of corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance Of
evidence to prove this.
Grape.Nuts balances the body In n
condition of true health. Scientific sc.
lection of food elements makes Grape.
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that In
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.
