ening the tension of unemployed mem
bers. The persistent and regular prac-
tice of a breathing exercise will not
only do this, but will give pose and
self-confidence.
The movements of respiration stand
in double relation to the nervous
system, being required to introduce
oxygen into the blood, which takes up
the oxygen, and freeing itself of the
carbonic acid it contains, the latter
thus acts as a powerful stimulus to
the lung nerves.
One should remember to avoid col
lar-bone breathing, to cultivate the
raised and active chest, and to gain
control of the diaphragm in order to
have complete mastery of breathing
1t is not necessary to take long,
tiresome trip to some far away place
in order to be taught to care for
oneself, for nature will come to ones
aid with joyful alacrity in one spot as
well as another.
But knowledge is not the only thing
required. 1t is its application that
counts. and this means steadfast de-
termination.

well-known Louisville woman who is
known as saying things without

tanning a young man on the front
porch and the mother was standing
at the fence talking to the neighbors
next door. In the yard of the latter
was a baby little over a year old
and it was trying to walk. You

There will be fewer flat-chested wo-

Delsarte has said, there should be

power depends expansion.
In order to control ones nerves one
must learn to command ones involun-

the heart and the intestines. BY
breathing deeply and controlling one s
breath and SO increasing ones lung
capacity, the heart acton is stimulat-
ed, and this supplies the nerve centers
with fresh blood, and the nerves act
upon the muscles and the brain upon

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved GrapeNuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grapefruit
daily is easily seen in a marked sturd.
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense
stlmulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken of, c. W. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package OF Grape-Nuts.

book. "The Road to Wellville

that he had shot Altman after being
