THE KNOW HOW
Te Feed Children and Get Good Results

There are more nervous persons made
so by undigested food lying in the stom-
ach than she average individual would
suppose.
If food remains undigested in the
stomach. it begins to ferment. set up gas
and large portion is thus converted
into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested food
may and often does cause irritation of
the nerves and stupor of the mind
brain and nerves are really poisoned.
My daughter had complained for
some time Of a distressed feeling in the
stomach, after eating, which set me
thinking her diet was not right" writes
an anxious and intelligent mother
she had been fond OF cereals. but had
never tried Grape-Nuts- From reading
the account of this predigested food, 1t
seemed reasonable TO try Grape Nuts
for her case.
The results were really wonderful.
The little brain that seemed at times
unable 10 do its work, took up new life
and vigor. Every morning. now, before
going TO school. she eats the crisp little
morsels and is now completely and en-

An official Of the department who has
seen the plans and who knows the sup
posed capabilities Of ali three of the
foreign ships, as wei as the new Brit
ish cruisers that are thought by some
TO excel even the Dreadnought, says
that the arrangement of the main bat
terry guns is such as to permit a broad
side fire 25 per cent greater than that
of the broadside fire OF any battleship
now built, or, so far as is known, now
under construction. The average eleva-
ton OF the guns is believed 10 be greater
than that of any known batueship, thus
affOTding a distinct advantage IN long
range firing under all conditions of
weather. The fOrmidability of the yes
sells as to speed, armament and battery
is practically evenly divided.

show that the peach crop for the coming
season win be about One-third OF that
Of last season. Nine thousand cars had

northern part of the peach belt, though
even far southern counties suffered.
Reports of losses range in different
counties from total loss to the de-
struction Of half crops. Great damage
was done to the cotton crop by the re
