General Demand

Of the Well-Inforned Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and

Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup

Sam. piteously Although he felt that
he could not conscientiously comply

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 children. She writes:-
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. l for

and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment

eating it every morning, al4o 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 small saucer of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or

HER CHOICE OF DEMISE.
Pathetic Thought of Little Girl Who
Had Lost Playmate.

Mary had for neighbor a small play
mate, much-loved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back glance at his
mother. At that instant a trolley car
swept around the corner and the re-
sulting tragedy threw the town into
mourning. Each family wept as
though its own son had been lost.
Mary was utterly disconsolate and,
little as she had previously known of
death, realized in a childish way the
added horror of this one. In her con-
vulsive grief, and while her father and
mother sat with sobs in their threats
and tears overlooking, Mary straight
ened up and sobbed:
Mother when die l hope it will be
of disease and not of damaged"
