FOOD
FACTS
.Grape-Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous TODD, 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: Il haye gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. / 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 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

Need Protection.
1907: by Byron Williams.


While there is much in poetry to
discourage the action, it is true, never
theless, that something must be done
to protect our newly married.
No sooner do two young things get
through with the trembling and the
wedding cake, than they become the
prey OF over-active friends, loaded to
the ramparts, as it were, with volleys
OF old shoes, placards and rice. Get
ting married is strenuous experience
and by the time the advancing hosts
thunder down upon them, LOWE" and
"dovie" are ready to capitulate, re-
ceive the old shoes in the ear. the rice
in the neck and the placards on the
trunk.
The bride, trustful, clinging vine
that she Is, has been wont to shrek
Historically, shake the Chinese show
er out of her back hair and lingerie,
and turn to the groom for consolation
and protection. The groom, after rim
ping the tell-tale placards from the
nuptial baggage, swears mildly and
continues to be deliriCus.
Now comes society, however.
which demands protection for the
newly married. This society processes
to disbelieve Quarles' assertion that:
The way to bliss lies not on beds of
down.
And he that has no cross deserves M
crown %
The society insists, on the ground
that 1t is cruel to strike a man when
he is down, it is wrong to persecute
the truly beautiful and the good"
when they are about to start on their
honeymoon. The members assert that
Gray had what Chimmie Fadden
would dub bum steer" when he de-
clared:
THE hues Of bliss more brightly glow,
Chastis'd by sabler tints of woeu
In other words, they ask that the
honeymoon be not filled with distract
ing effects, and that the bride and
groom be left to the full enjoyment of
their roseate dream. They desire that
the newly married be fully rested be-
fore they wake up and tackle the prob
lens and morning fires of married life.
They argue it is shameful sin to hit
a great joy with CASTOR Trilby.

one without foreign interference.
You have noticed, no doubt, the
autumn sun setting on the placid Dos

glories of the sky are there depicted
1t is so with love. The honeymoon is

In Cornish (Eng.) chapels the IN

that the couple were seated in the
