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
ical 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 nervous 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 I 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 l was too weak.
He said l might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and I.
MY baby is now four months old.

EVANS LEAVES NAVY
NAME OF "FIGHTING BOB" PLACED
ON RETIRED LIST.
Picturesque and Spectacular Figure
Removed from Public Life by
Act-Saw Variety of Service
During His Career.

Washington.-Rear-A Robley
D. Evans, after a lifetime of service
under the Stars and Stripes, has re-
tired on reaching the age limit. AL
though he has been inactive for sew
eral months on account of i'll health he
has merely been on leave of absence
from the Atlantic battleship fleet
which was lately under his command.
The official passing of Fighting
Bob" Evans removes one of the most
picturesque and spectacular figures of
American public life. He practically
closed his off cial career on May 7
last when he participated personally
in an imposing parade of soldiers and
sailors at San Francisco.
The admiral has been in i'll health
for some time and found it expedient
to reside in the healthful solitudes
surrounding Lake Mohonk, New York
state.
Admiral Evans has seen service of
almost every variety in the marine
fighting world. In times of peace
he was strict disciplinarian
and conducted maneuvers and target
cruises; he worked with the light
house board; he represented the
United States navy at stately gather
ings where ships of other nations fore
gathered for pageant and display, and
he drove the seal poachers from the

He smelled gunpowder in real fight.

experiments in a race Of husky young
giants, to whom sickness and i'll
health will be rarity. To first re-
move the cause for Illness and then
replace poor food with good will be
the aim Of the experiment, and the
results are expected to be evident in
the human machine thus constructed,
The movement is the result of nu,
merous inquiries from parents and
others who have suggested that there
might be possibility Of impurities
in children's foods. For time ex,
periments on a small scale have been
carried on, but it has been made ap-
parent to DR.. Wiley that more ex-
tensive investigation into the subject
will not only reveal the fact that there
are impurities in the foods now Of
fered on the market, but will show a
way to bring about better conditions
of health for children generally.
DIR. Wiley believes that the manu-
facturers will have the matter as
much at heart as will the bureau of
chemistry, and for this reason he is
asking each maker of babies foods
to make report not only on the kinds
of foods sold by him, but what he
would deem a proper food.
1t is from the physicians, however,
that the best information is expected
because of their intimate dealings
with actual conditions.
In connection with the inquiry
special investigation will be made into
foods for the use of invalids and that
used in hospitals in the treatment Of
the sick.

Switchboard match between the Sporting
Association, of 34S Orange street, and the
Schmerber Association. of 3S Court street,
resulted in a victory for the latter, the total
score being 25S to 247.
The game was not lacking in interest, the
outcome not being certain until the last
man had placed his weight. In the first
half of the series the Sperling Association
had a lead of 81 points, but the poor gener-
alship displayed by some of the men cost
the Sperling shutters the match. Another
game will be played some time in Febru-
airy, when the losers expect to make up for
their defeat. The fine playing of Thomas
Hunt and Charles Watson kept the score
from being much larger.
