MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts,

The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem.
zeal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made Of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce.
reals.
1t contains also the phosphate Of
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more Of this element because the
brain and v system of the child
grows SO rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value Of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
After my baby came l did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said l could not nurse the baby
as / did not have nourishment for her,
besides I was too weak.
Lie ouAO 1 lAASuI lily d change Oh

recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and l.

OATS POOREST IN THIRTY YEARS
Opinion of Supervising Inspector Of
Country Elevators.

St. Paul, Sept. 6.-The crop Of oats
in this state is the poorest in thirty
years, according to the observation OF
Henry Feig, supervising inspector of
country elevators for the state rail
road commission. Wheat is a fair
crop, and if frost holds off two weeks
longer the corn crop will be the best
that the farmer has this year. Prices
for all grain are high, however, and
farmers ought to be able to lay up
some money on the years business, in
his opinion.
