BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a family.
found IN Grape Nuts the ideal food for
brain work and to develop healthy chill
dren. She writes:
II am an enthusiastic prcclaimer OF
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet / formerly
had no appetite in the morning and for
s years while nursing my four children,
had insufficient nourishrnent for them.
Unable TO eat breakfast l felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
cat cold chops. sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything l happened to ind.
Being a writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
When / read Of Grape-Nuts 1 began
eating il every morning, also gave it to
the children. including my 10 months old
baby, who soon grew as fat as a little
pig. good natured and contented.
within a week / had plenty Of breast
milk and felt stronger within two weeks
l wrote evenings and feeling the need
OF sustained brain power. began eating
a small saucer OF 'Grape-Nuts with milk
instead of my usual indigestible hot
pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at
night.
Grape Nuts did wonders for me and I
learned 10 like H. I did not mind my
housewOrk or mothers cares. for I felt
strong and full of go" / grew plump
nerves strong. and when I wrote my
brain was active an0 clear: indeed, the
duh head pain never returned"

ferson Davis. Alexander Stephens. Judah
3. Benjamin, AR. Slidel, and Mr.
Tombs, OF Georgia, all leaders Of the
confederacy, we're welcome visitors at
the Pratt mansion, and all knew Mrs.
Clarke when she was young girl, as
one Of the most beautiful women IN tie

panic.
Seventh, the committee bill 10 pre-
vent panic makes no provision for for
bidding national banks tying up their
resources in speculative loans, which
was VIGOROUSLY Ure OF the important
factors in the recent panic.
Eighth, the committee bill 10 pre-

vent improper loans by active bank
officers to themselves. which practice
proved one o. the well-knOwn recent
contributing causes that pTecipitated
panic In New York. Witness, the Morse
banks and allied institutions.
Ninth, the committee bill 10 prevent
panic is defective because IL does not
make a proper provision for the mainte-
nance OF actual cash reserves In the
manner which our present knowledge
justities and requires. il leaves the
present fictitious reserves uucdrreCred-

Eleventh, above all Mr.. President.
the committee bill 10 prevent panic is
most seriously defective because II pro
