North Topeka has written the State
Journal as follows: -Four weeks ago
was rapidly bleeding to death from
"a diseased limb from which I have
suffered for over forty years. Friends
called Drs. Otto Kiene and William F.
Bowen, who took charge of the case,
and I was taken to Christ's hospital,
and three days later the limb was
amputated at the hip joint In three
home the wound has almost entirely
healed and I feel that I am on the
road to complete recovery. Consider
ing that I was almost without blood
in my veins and too weak to raise my
head. the operation seems all the more
wonderful and certainly speaks well
for the surgeons in charge of the case.
1t seems to me that If one in my con-
dition could undergo such a severe
operation that there is no need for any
one to feel discouraged"

COULDN'T KEEP 1T
Kert 1t Hid From the Children.

I'VE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in

it, because the children love it so. It is
just the food 1 have been looking for
ever so long; something that I do not
have to stop to prepare and still is
nourishing."
Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. It is perfect
ly and completely cooked at the factory
and can be served at an instant's notice
either with rich cold cream, or with hot
milk if a hot dish is desired. When
milk or water is used, a little sugar
should be added, but when cold cream
is used alone the natural grape-sugar
which can be seen glistening on the
granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy
the palate. This grape-sugar is not
poured over the granules, as some peo-
pie think, but exudes from the granules
in the process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process of
manufacture. This. in effect. is the first
act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts
food is pre-digested and is most perfeca-
~ assimilated by the very weakest
stomach. There's a reason"
