In little village on the Hungarian frontier, not far from Presburg, a peasant woman recently received 400 kronen (s85) from her husband flu America.
 She promptly deposited it in the local branch of the postoffice savings bank, and then the next day went to withdraw the whole amount.
 The bank official was somewhat sur. prised, and asked for an explanation, when she said that Death had ap- peared to her during the night and threatened to take her away with him unless she had the 400 crowns ready for him the next night.
 The gendarmes were communicated with and when Death made his promised appearance he was found to be very much alive, in the person of the local judge.

 Try |Grape-Nuts Perfectly Cooked. Ready to Serve. Delicious and Healthlul
Delicious and Healthlul

"The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked few minutes in half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an OK.
 Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boil ing point and cooked as mush is usu. ally served, remains pasty, indi- gestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stom- ach of person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stom- ach, the Duodenum, where in conse- quence of the long time of the first process of digestion is fermented and soured. AS an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomachs of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vin- egar barrel.
 Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding"
 Knowledge of these facts and wide experience in the preparation and use Of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the ma nipulations of any cook, good or bad.
 The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate swedish taste, very palatable.
 Children and adults obtain fine re- suits from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is So perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and SO easily di- gested that many cases are on record of nu sing babes being fed very suc- cessfully on it. There's a Reason
