CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who, cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts. and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which l fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so l got some and prepared it as
follows: soaked 11a tablespoonfuls
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then | strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
Of rich milk, put in pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
it to baby every two hours.
'In this simple, easy way l saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing. The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such wonderful effect as
this. l can truthfully say l think it
is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on, and is also a deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong, healthy man or woman. 1t
stands for the true theory of health.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate Agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success In South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on
farmer and makes bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first.
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre. and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he Is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named II the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold. but this stipula-
tion Is not contained In contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not overcourteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty.
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up $500. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.

Even the prosaic washing of dishes
has been subject Of scientific investi-
cations. In the. interests OF the mi
crobe-fearing mortal, Christiani and
Michele, Swiss bacteriologists, have
tested the effect on germs present of
different methods Of washing, such as
"a simply wiping glasses with a ster-
ilized cloth, (2) rinsing with cold
water and wiping with no particular
care, and (3) thoroughly washing and
rinsing in fresh water and carefully
drying. They find that the partial
washing or wipins so common In ho-
tel, restaurant and family kitchens
leaves the germs practically un-
touched. Thoroughly washing, even in
cold or lukewarm water, with vigorous
wiping, may remove practically all
bacteria; and safety is the more alb
solute the nearer the water is to boil
ing. Dtssolving two per cent. of car
Donate of soda in the water makes
sterilization still more thorough.
