FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
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 pro-
portion of, as 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-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value Of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can
truly recommend it 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 it's use will reduce
the weight of corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition Of true health. Scientific sc.
lection OF food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. It's delicious

Don't you see how our little plates of
soup will draw compound interest if
we invite the right people?"
My wife is friend of mine, so I
refused to quarrel with her.
"All right, my DEAR" said, 'but
you must give the dinner one week
before Thanksgiving"
Zone week before Thanksgiving"
my wife reechoed. "And why, pray?"
Because this will give our guests
chance to recover from your cook
ing before the real day of prayer
comes around, and by that time they
will begin to think about you with
kindness, perhaps"
My wife stung me with her cruel
eyes and went out in the kitchen,
where the new cook was breaking a
lot Of our best dishes which did not
appeal to her.
The name of this new cook was
Ollie.
When Ollie came to the house to
get job, my wife asked her for
her recommendations.
Ollie said that her face was her
only recommendation; but that she was
out iate the night before and broke
her recommendation just above the
chin. - -
Anyway, my wife engaged her, be-
cause what good is healthy appe-
ttte when the kitchen is empty?
Ollie said that she was first-class
cook, but when we dared her to prove
it she forgot my wife was a lady
and threw the coal scuttle at her.
A day or two after Ollie arrived /
determined to find out what merit
there was in vegetarian diet.
''All right" I said to the cook, after
the last plate of hash with all it's fond
memories had disappeared, "this house
is going on diet for few days, and
henceforth we are all vegetarians, in
Guiding the dog. Please govern your
self accordingly"
Ollie smiled and whispered that
vegetarianisms was where she lived.
Ollie said she could cook vegetables
so artistically that the palate would
believe them to be filet Mignon, with
Pommery sauce, and then she start

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed in getting
the business of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
IF the mail order houses got $1,000
out Of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
SALE They tell us what they have
and what they want for it. OF course
we get soaked once in awhile and if
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad-
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can 20
to the store and ask the price of this
article, and that, but you know how
it 1s-one doesn't know so we'll exact
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
in a store as when he is at home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read it when we haven't anything else
to do and every member of the family
who reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other men,
Der of the family wants and many or
ders are made up and sent out Just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer-
chant falls down. If he talked up his
business to us in our homes the same
as the mail order houses do the people
would be in to see him the next time
they came to town and in many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
'The home merchant can save the
expense of getting up a catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue,
and if the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
in the home papers, and put it in so
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely, nine times out
of ten, sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and I believe on
many things they are much cheaper,
but how are We to know if he doesn't
tell us about it.
"A merhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods so we'll that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
1T is none of my business how the
home merchant runs his business, but
I don't like to see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get little stuff shipped in once
in awhile and never anything said on
the other side. There are always two
sides of a question, and I have given
you mine. If it is worth anything to
you you can take it."

CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That, He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not 70 sick, undeniably
drunk.
"How did this happen?" the physi-
clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.
"Sure, dochter, an tbs just what
you ordered, an no more, that he
had" she protested.
II said one ounce of whisky three
times day; that could not make him
drunk" the physician said. HE has
had much more than that"
"Divil drop more, dochter, DEAR"
she declared. ''Sure an OF didn't
know just how much an ounce was so

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
SiIvery Luster on a Pond That Set 4
Beadmaker Thinking.

The string of artificial pearls was
very beautiful. But for the regularity
of the beads anyone would have
thought it rope of real pearls worth
kings ransom.
I'LL tell you," said the jeweler, as
he wrapped up the deceptive necklet,
chow the wonderfully perfect artificial
pearl came to be invented.
"A rich French beadmaker, Noise
Jaquin-he lived in the seventeenth
century-found pond in his garden
covered one morning with a lovely Sill
very luster. Amazed, he called his
gardener, who said it was nothing
some albettes had got crushed, that
was all.
'Albettes were little f1sh-bleaks-
the Leucfscus alournus. The gardener
explained that II you crushed them
they always gave the water a pearly
sheen like that. Joaquin put on his
thinking cap.
For six years he worked with beads
and bleaks, wasting millions of both.
But finally he achieved success. He
learned how to extract the pearly lus.
ter from the bleaks' scales and to
cover glass bead with it.
What he did-and his method IS
still used-was to scrape the scales
from the fish, wash and rub them
and save the water. The: water. de-
canted, gave OF lustrous fluid of
the thickness of oil, veritable pearl
paint, a magic fluid that imparts 4
lovely pearly sheen to everything It is
applied to.

sors and nine clothes pins come out
of that turkey, but Jack Golden said
that their last cook tried to stuff their
turkey with the garden hose, so my
wife felt better.
The next round was some salad
which Ollie had dressed in the kitch-
en-, but the dress was such a bad fit
that nobody could look at it without
blushing.
Then we had some homemade ice
cream for dessert.
The ice was very good, but Ollie
forgot to add the cream, so it tasted
rather insipid.
Every time there was lull in the
conversation Charlie Swayne kept
yelling for Bronx cocktail, and the
only thing that kept him from get
ting it was the fact that Riley Hatch
wanted to tell the story Of his
life.
Anyway, the dinner came to a nm
ish without anybody fainting, and >the
guests went home little hungry but
imprisoned.
The next morning my wife spoke
bitterly to Ollie, and she left us, fol-
lowed by the Thanksgiving prayers of
all those present.
The only thing about the house that
loved Ollie was pair of earrings be-
longing to my wife, and they went
with her.

BANKERS GETTING WISE,
They See Danger in the MaiI-Order
System Of Business.

1t is only lately that bankers of the
west have come to realization that
the mailorder system of business has
been a serious injury to them, killing
off the business of their towns, taking
out of circulation money that should
help swell the local bank deposits and
otherwise interfering with town pro-
greSs.
The trouble has been with many
bankers that they failed to consider
the Observation-Disclosures evil
as anything of particular concern to
them. When Farmer Smith would
buy a draft for $50 or 500 to send
to Chicago, the banker got his ten
cents exchange and thought he was
that much ahead, while the facts re-
mained that if he could keep the
money from being sent from home
that $50 Of the farmer for the banker
might make dollar or two of profit.
1t was only when the catalogue
houses started in to solicit deposits Of
the people of country towns and farm
ing communities that the bankers
took a tumble.
Then again some bankers have such
an exalted idea of their position in
the town that the goods to be had
from the local merchants are not good
enough for themselves and families,
and set bad example before the peo-
pie by sending away themselves for
what they desire in the way of staples
and luxuries. Bankers are conserva-
tive; and are not forward in making
suggestions to their patrons as to
what they should do with their money.
but in this matter it appears sufficient
ly Important to justify the exercise of
what influence the banker can CON-
mand in behalf of home patronage. It
is the business of the town and sur
rounding country that affords a profit
to the bank. The greater this volume
OF business can be made the better
for the banker and every interest of
the town, and the farmers and other
labOrers as we'll.
