WHAT IT IS
Composition of the Famous Food.

A wide spread interest has been cre- ated among good flyers, as to the com position of Grape-Nuts. the food that has become popular and famous the world over
 It has long been known to physicians, chemists and food experts, that the s.archy portion of entire wheat and barley Hours is transformed into a true and very choice sugar. by the act of intestinal digestion in the human body. This sugar is identical with, and is known as grape-sugar, and it is in condition for immediate transforma- ton into blood and the necessary struc- trre from which the delicate nerve cen- ters are built lip.
 food expert followed line of ex- periments until he produced the food called Grape-Nuts, of which grape sugar forms the principal part, and it is. produced by following Natures pro- cesses. in a mechanical way. That is heat, moisture, and time are the meth ods employed and directed by scien- tifc facts gained in researcA
 (zrape-Nuts food is probably entitled to the claim of being the most per. fectly adapted food for human needs in existence. Certain it is. that tho user's delight in the flavor and the perfect action of intestinal digestion dpring the use of Grape-Nuts is satts fving. and the added strength of body confirms the fact.

ful highway popular with automobilists were forced to build a new house on the rear of the estate simply because the dust raised by speeding automo- piles became unbearable. In many places the roads have been oiled and the dust nuisance largely abated, but where this Is not the case motorists who are of the right sort see that fairly slow rate of speed is maintain ed when passing along roads lined with houses It Is not surprising that in cases where no attention is paid by motorists to the rights of property owners the latter are inclined to retail ate by voting in favor of drastic anti automobile regulations.
 Driving with the muffler open is an- other execrable practice, and one which marks the offender as either a novice or one totally oblivious of the feelings of others. Fortunately, the internal racket which this sort of driving pro- duces usually acts as a boomerang and results in getting the noisy chauf- feur into trouble with the police. It is needless to say that good taste for bids this practice Under the same head comes racing the motor, with its at tendant and wholly unnecessary noise
 The question of personal comfort has also been largely instrumental in bring ing fast driving into disrepute. Time was when 1t was fashionable to go mo tcring and return covered from head to foot with dust or mud, Now it is looked upon as decidedly bad taste to exhibit these manifest signs of fast driving Indeed, women of fashion are
 to be seen motoring daily afrayed in handsome and delicate gowns which would be totally ruined if showered with dust or mud, Half the pleasure of Iautomobiling was formerly taken away by the foolish habit of encasing ones self in dustproof coat, headgear and goggles. Now for motoring at sensi- ble pace much lighter toggery can be worn.
 Another thing which has worked in flavor of slower driving is the serious eye trouble which many motorists have developed as a result of having quanti- 1 ties of dust and grit continually thrown against and into the eyes. Oculists | hae been kept busy the last three or four years treating automobile eye
 but of late there has been a decided failing off in the number of eases.
 Speaking of the speeding mania the other day, Colgate Hoyt, the president of the Automobile Club of America
 said
 "The members of the Automobile
 Club of America are. against reckless sreeding on the highways of the land
 and we are doing everything in our power as a club and as individuals to
 curtail the speed fever. No driver l should go faster than the Common
 danger Most of the speed laws in force at the present time, however, are
 all wrong. At the present time owners
 of motor cars are subject to much per secution when driving on country
 roads. I thoroughly disapprove, how
 ever, of the crazy use of the motor
 car by irresponsible persons"
