like scientist used to know.

answer any inquiry in my power.

replied:

submit the matter to the State De-

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.


The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is now NJ longer as
prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part OF the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
