CONGENIAL WORK
And Strength to Perform II.

A person In good health is likely
to have n genial disposition. ambition.
and enjoy work.
On the other hand. If the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food. work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes a Washing
ton girl. Il was n railroad stenog-
rapher. which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone In n
large city. lived at a boarding house.
For breakfast II was mush. greasy
meat. soggy cakes, black coffee. etc.
After n few months OF this diet
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed ter
rible effort, and thought the work was
to blame-too arduous.
AT home l had heard my father
speak OF n young fellow who went
long distances in the cold on Grape
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
Il concluded II It would tide him
over a mornings heavy work, It might
help me, so on my way home one
night bought a package and next
morning I had GrapeNuts and milk
for breakfast.
Il stuck to Grape-Nuts. and in less
than two weeks I noticed improve
ment. I can't just tell how well I
felt. but I remember I used to walk
the IL blocks TO business and knew
how good It was simply to live.
"As to my work-well. did you ever
feel the delight of having congenial
work and the strength TO perform It.?
That's how | felt. truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain OF
Grape Nuts"
