d.. TALKS CT FOOD.
Pres. of Board of Health.

"What shall | eat?" is the daily in
curry the physician is met with.
do not hesitate to say that in my juGs-
ment, large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and improp-
crly prepared food. Ny personal expe-
rience with the fully cooked food
known rs Grape-Nuts. enables me to
speak freely of its merits.
From oyerwork. suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation Of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In short time after
commenced its use the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
tion became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach were prop
erly carried out and | again slept as
soundly and as well rs in my youth.
Il look upon GrapeNuts as perfect
food, and no one can gainsay but that
it has a most prominent place in ra-
tional, scientific system of feeding Any
one who uses this food will soon be
convinced of the soundness of the prin-
ciple upon which 1t is manufactured
and may thereby know the facts as to
its true worth" Read, THE Road TO

The Increased Cost Of Living.



The mechanic who wishes TO build
him house today finds that II costs
him 33 per cent. more than ii cost his
nelghbor a few years ago. The land
lord who builds to rent finds ii costs
him 33 to SO per cent. more than he
paid for another building erected six
or seven years ago, and he must, there
fore, charge a higher rent. IL there
can be found a way Of increasing the
wages OF the carpenters, masons, brick
layers, painters, plasterers and plumb
ers, and OF the men who work i'm the
lumber camps, the saw and planning
mills, etc, etc, without increasing the
cost OF building construction If
method can be devised by which the
houses and butcher shops, I'm coal
mines, in mills manufacturing -four and
other food products may be made larg-
er without increasing the cost Of the
articles they produce, let US all. by all
means, unite in boosting up wages 10
The highest possible point But the
discovery Of such improvements is
probably still far in the future
1t follows from all this that even
hose workirgmen who have thus sue
ceeded in forcing up their wages have
not tn hansclves reaped the benefit they
perhaps thought would result If they
have forced UP the cost of living to the
liNAA tAS uiSb W llitil I'pOlti ltAlpNS y anu
70 those who do not belong to their
guilds or unions, they have also forced
it up to themselves. They, too, are
compelled to pay more for their coal,
and their beef, and their -four, and the
other necessaries Of life. for their rent.
their clothing their Injuries and their
pleasures, and the end of ii IS. inev-
itably and as demons ,rated by actual
experience, that they find that while
they have more dollars to buy with
they can buy no more with their dol
lars than before. The men Of thirty or
fifty years ago received wages which
seem insignificant compared with those
paid today and yet they lived as com
fortably, educated their children as
well and were just as good citizens and
Christians as the more highly paid
workingmen of today The reason was
that the cost of production governed
the cost Of living then, as it does now,
and was regulated chiefly by the wages
paid and the smaller wage bought at
the lower price as much as the higher
wage buys today at the increased price.
The fact is thus stated in two ways
that its fun significance may be appre-
Ciated,
