FAMILY FOOD
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. C. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam
lily.
She says GrapeNutS was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte. where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She says:
"They derive so much good from 1t
that they never pass day without us
ing it. While l was there l used the
Food regularly. l gained about 10
pounds and felt so well that when / re-
turned home began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
MY little Is months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
it was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
We'll. it worked like a charm and
she began taking it regularly and i'm
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stag
es we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and or
anges, everything else nauseated us.

The Ostrich.

In its habits, methods of life and

most curious creatures of the animal
kingdom. 1t cannot be tanned, though
1t is easily trained to harness. When

brush on the track or road with q

THE TONGUE OF A BIRD.
An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.

Few people have given thought tc
the subject of birds tongues. Many
even of the amateur bird students
know little of the litera ture on the
subject and still less from personal OBJ
servation.
Birds must use their bills rs hands
and to some extent the tongues supple
ment such use Thus nu, and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the she'll which is cracked between
the mandibles.
The full complement of bones of the
tongue consists of eight. The shape
varies considerably in different species,
and the comparative size very much
more, although there is prevailing
general resemblance. The size and de-
veIopment of the various bones con
troll the shape and utility of the organ.
Well developed front ZONES mean a
thick, fleshy tongue. such as we find
in members of the duck family, while
small forward bones usually accom-
pany a small tongue of less Importance
to the owner, sometimes little more
than rudimentary, like that of the pei
lean.
Among such birds as have occasion
to protrude the tongue well beyond the
tip of the bill the hind bones are mar
velously developed and greatly elon-
gated. for these are the bones on which
the tongue is hung.
The edges of the tongues of most
birds are more or less fringed, this fea-
ture being most noticeable in thin
tongues Most birds have greater or
less number of papllae-small fleshy
projections, spinelike in appearance
and usually inclined backward-on the
upper surface of the tongue. These
are of service in working the food
backward toward the throat
Some of the sea birds have very SIM
pie tongues, which serve but little pur-
pose. The tongues of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long feathering,
while those of the woodpecker are long,
slender and pointed, and the roots Of
some species curve clear around the
back of the skull, up over the crown,
and their tips rest at the base or the
upper mandible. With the exception
of the sapsuckers the tongues of wood
peckers are capable of great protru-
sion, and the tip is barbed. The sap
suckers, however, instead of having
sharp, barbed tongues like those OF
other woodpeckers, have brushlike
tongues as q result of the degeneration
Of the bristles on their surface into
hairs standing out from the tongue
rather than pointing backward.
Birds with long bills do not always
have correspondence long tongues.
The kingfishers, with their dispropor-
tionately large bills, have short tongues.
The outer edges of the very long
tongues of humming birds are closely
rolled up into two tubes lying side by
side, by means of which the birds are
enabled to suck the nectar from flow
ers.-New York Post.
