PRIZE FOOD
Palatable, Economical, NourIshins.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
AFTER our long experience with
GrapeNuts, I cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal.
atable. economical and nourishing
of all.

gan to use Postum and Grape Nuts I

been almost raised on Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times q day.
"They are pictures Of health and
have never had the least symptom Of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege Of whooping cough
they could retain Grape.Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, . most
economical food for u.s."

One afternoon l overheard my two
children talking about the Sunday
school lesson.
Dick, who was much smaller than
Margaret, believed all she said about
it. So he asked her what God looked
like, and she quickly answered: God
looks like stalk of corn, because
mamma said he had ears on all sides,
and stalk of corn is the only thing

The Board of Trade has been work
ing for some time now, to have the otfl-
cials of the Department of Agriculture

the purpose of ascertainins the best

Agriculture, Commerce and Industries
of this State. In addition to this, both

sona!lv Abd are reminded Of the fact
that the Pudding Swamp section pro.
duced the finest tobocco of its kind rails
ed in South Carolina. Letters have been
received from both of these gentlemen
as to their efforts, and they seem to be
confident of their success. This will
certainly be great thing for the tobac-
co growers of this county and in fact OF
the entire State.
Prof. Harper Is regarded as one OF
the finest tobacco experts in this conn.
try, having been sent by the United
States Government to Ireland at one
time for the purpose of scientific inves-
tigallon of tobacco growing there. AT
the earnest solicitation of the Board OF

address the farmers of Clarendon upon
the culture Of tobacco. The exact date
