FOOD
FACTS

OOD
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 a 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: 4 have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. can
truly recommend it to thu 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 a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and viii 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. Its delicious
favor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that In
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

respects they had the advantage over

it was not subject to rapid changes OF
fashion. The cut of a sleeve OF the

years rather than five months. Life

the trouble, but TO no avail

satisfied with the progress l have
made since coming here. have raised
excellent crops of grain of all varie-

20 bushels of wheat TO the acre. oats

VI We had splendid garden this year,
rlpening successfully tomatoes, musk
melons. water melons, sweet corn and
kindred sorts.
The country Is well adapted to
wheat growing and mixed farming. and
to my mind 1t is the best country I'M
der the sun for q man with family
and small means. as it is possible for
a man to commence farming opera
tons with much less capital than is
required in the older settled countries.
The climate Is all that could be de-
sired being very healthy and invigor-
ating,
My wife came out about six months
ago, and although inclined to be deli
cate in the old home, she has enjoyed
the best of health since coming here.
In short, am more than satisfied

am also satisfied with the laws of the
country.

EVEN IF DISCOURAGED
TRY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Even In
Advanced Stages

Rheumatism is o painful infiamma-
ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-.
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint Or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency OF the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for q time but the disease cannot be-
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich.
rod and healthy. When the blood il
pure there can be no rheumatism.

five years.
"About two years ago / began to feel

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as nervous and general

locomotor ataxia. AS a tonic for the
