FOOD
FACTS

FOO d
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-
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have 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 a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh. and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

Alfalfa is said to be superior to
clover on clay soils as a rotation
crop. In an experiment conducted
some years ago at the Wyoming ex-
pertinent station 1t was found that
the increase in yield in various crops
by reason of alfalfa having previous
ly occupied the land was as follows:
Wheat, 71S pounds per acre; oats.
1919 pounds; potatoes, 1,738 pounds.
This is a pretty good increase and
shows plainly the high fertilizing
value of alfalfa roots. The possibil-
tiles OF alfalfa in making meat. milk
and wool and in the consequent en-
richment of the land are appreciated
by few people.

CIGARETTES BARRED AT
MEMS ALL SAINTS CLUB

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA. Dec 27.-The conduct of
some of the members of the Mems All
Saints club is to be reformed through
the adoption of a more rigid set OF
rules for the government of the club
house.
Cigarette smoking, it is said, is to
be put under the ban. Other forms of
department are also to be barred.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee these matters were discussed
and the house committee was in
structed to see that the new rules are
enforced.
In the discussion it was reported that
certain members were in the habit of
throwing cigarette stubs on the floor
and that 1t has been a custom to expec-
torate promiscuously. The executive
committee proposes to enforce such
regulations as will establish an
easier system of keeping the premises
clean. The committees were named by
the newly elected president, G. S. By
ington, and to those to whom is en-
trusted the duty of preventing the
promiscuous strewing of cigarette
stubs about the floor of the house are
G. A. Gillespie, Percy Shaul- -Hallett
and Vincent Good. The new commit
tee on entertainment is composed of
D. M. Dewey, w. F. Knight and the
rector, Rev. VIM MacCormack. The

LONG BEACH, Dec. N.-The police are
puzzled by the burglary of Edward r.
Browns jewelry store at 142 Pine avenue
last night. An old and very valuable
violin which was recently left at the store
by Los Angeles man to be sold was the
only article stolen. The burglar forced
open the rear window where the violin
was displayed. The large stock Of valu-
able watches and clocks was not dis
turbed.
1t is believed that some connoisseur' s
attention was attracted by the violin and
that his desire to obtain 1t impelled him
to theft.
The shoe shop of Myron L. Eaton at
43S West Second street was also burglar
lied last night, the thief effecting an en-
trance through the front door. Shoes
valued at $500 and $1O0 worth of leather
were stolen. All drawers in the store
were ransacked but no cash was found
by the burglar.
Eaton, who has suspected for several
weeks that someone was contemplating
the robbery of his store, recently stretched
fine string across between the posts of
the front door. The string was found
broken in two the following morning.
After that Eaton put paddock on the
screen of the front door. The thief is
supposed to have pried off the staple.

FIREARMS SHIPPED
TO CENTRAL AMERICA
Vessel Leaves New Orleans Laden
with Munitions of War Con-
signed to Little Re-
public
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27-A notice to
watch for arms reported as shipped on
the steamer Alps to some Central Ameri-
can port yet unknown was today cabled
to President Davila of Honduras by the
Honduran consul here.
The Alps, according. to her clearance
papers on file here. carries a shipload of
groceries consigned to the Honduran gov
ernment at Puerto Cortes. The consul
says that the clearance papers are mis-
leading and that he cannot find that the
Alps cargo was intended for his govern
mert.
Nicaragua has been generally assigned
as the destination of the Alps because of
the fact that William Adler, member of
the wholesale grocery firm of A. Adler
s. Co., shipping the groceries, is finan-
cially interested with President zelaya
of Nicaragua in several Central American
business enterprises.
Despite the rumor that the Alps car
ries arms the Honduran consul attaches
no particular significance to the reported
destination Of the steamer. Shipments of
arms from here to all Central American
countries are common occurrences.
