FOR THE OCCASIONAL NAP.
Why the Couch Should Be Considered
Indispensable.

"A room without couch is only
half furnished" says an authority on
homemaking. Life is so full of ups
and downs that often and often all
that saves the sanity of the mentally
faded and physically exhausted for
tune fighter is the occasional half hour
rest or momentary loss of conscious
ness on the breakfast room lounge or
the old sofa in the sitting.room." A
long, comfortable couch. on which one
may throw himself. boots and brains.
unmindful of tides and tapestries, is
veritable means OF grace. The need
of good, healthy nap is often mis-
taken for suicidal tendencies. Instead
of speedy introduction to future
state. business men and working wom-
en- want systematic doses of doing.
and next best to a NOISY bank in the
shade of an old oak is the low. long
couch in the dusky corner, where tired
nature can turn her face to the wall
and dream away the blues.

minutes, then reduce gradually. In
the ordinary small range the loaves
should be turned every ten or Is min

minutes a loaf will shrink somewhat
and slip easily from the pan. When

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.


It is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with 1t for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc-
lions and now am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; 1t also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. IL
that part of the human body Is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down. the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.
