A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared
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
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint
later. and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage. cookies, dough
nuts or anything l happened to find.
Being writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
when / read of Grape Nuts I began
eating it every morning. also gave it
to the children, incl"ding. my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good na.ured and
contented.
Within a week | had plenty of
breast milk. and felt stronger within
two weeks. | wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating 4 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 learned 10 like it. did not mind
my housework or mothers cares. for
| felt strong and full of go / grew
plump. nerves strong, and when l
wrote my brain was active and clear:
indeed. the dull head pain never re-
turned"

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

Mary had for neighbor a small play
mate, a muchloved and attractive boy.
The little lad rushed across the street
one day, throwing back n glance at his
mother. At that instant 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 dlsconsolate 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 throats
and tears overlooking, Mary straight
