EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use Without Cook
ING.

Almost everyone likes q cereal food
of some kind al breakfast ana @n%rtr.
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in Il ra*ty mass that IS
hard TO digest, and if not properly
digest"d. the raw mass goes down into
the Intestinal tract where gas Is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digcsted keeps the body well.
while poor food. or even food of good
quality that is poorly prepared and not
digested. is sure to bring on some Kind
Of disease
The easiest food to digest i'll this
line is Grape Nuts, made from wheat
and barley. and cooked thoroughly at
the factory. some Il to IS hours being
consumed in the different processes Of
preparation. Tho food, therefore, is
ready for instant service and the
starch has been changed to form of
Sugar, 50 that it is pre- diGcstCd and
ready for almost Immediate absorption.
Chicago young lady writes tnat
she suffered for years from Indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food
that was not suitable to her powers Of
digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts. and |
confess to having had prejudice at
hTst, and was repeatedly urged before
l finally decided to try the food. but I
nave not known what indigestion is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health. | have
increased in weight from 100 to ia
pounds"
People can be well, practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the indigestible sort.
There's a Reason"
Grape-Nuts Food is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. 1t should be served
exactly as it comes from the. package,
without cooking, except in cases where
it is made up into buildings and other

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Of Railroads and Views Of State Rail-
road Commissioners.

Washington, Oct. 10-Contrary to
expectations little evidence was forth
coming at Wednesdays sessions
of the 18th annual convention
of the Association of State Rail

that the members were opposed to
the national legislation enacted or to
the policy Of the national administra-
tion as it is understood to be toward
the railways of the country.
The nearest approach to antagonsm
to the IDEAS Of President Roosevelt was
III the report of the committee on the
Powers, duties and work of state rail-
