SURPRISED HIM.
Doctors Test of FOOD.


A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly Of its nourishing and
erve-building powers, so l started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the
first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once In
less than month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before l was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch Of sugar He exclaimed
when l came next day, Why, doctor,
/ never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got well
on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick
to it for two or three weeks, then he
began to branch out little with rice
or an egg or two. He got entirely
well in spite Of his almost hopeless
condition. He gained % pounds in
two months, which at his age is re-
markable.
Il could quote list Of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders

to clean the screen of strainer is
with a small, stiff brush The best
kind Of a strainer is one with the
screen on the sides, rather than on
the bottom, for then there is no I'M

MEASURING NAIL GROWTH.
Fastest Up to so, Diminishing as Old
Age Approaches.

Among psychologists, as in the public
a. large. there are current a number of
errors relative to the growth of the nails.
For example, it is generally thought that
the seasons influence the growth.
This subject has been studied very
closely of late. and it can be definitely
stated says ILLUSTRATION. that the
growth of nails depends upon age. The
growth is greatest from TO 80 years
old. then it dimipishes.
This applies TO the nails on the hand.
But it's very different with the nail of
the big toe. The growth of this nail in
the young is only Il half or third of
that of the finger nails. But in old peo-
Pile it is equal.
This would seem to show that the low
er limbs retain more of their vigor than
the arms.

Thorough Cultivation.

If the ground is cultivated often
enough no weeds can grow, and if the
ground for a crop is carefully pre-
pared before putting in the seed, by
deep blowing and frequent narrowing,
the cultivation required after the
plants are up need not be more than
1 inch deep. If this is done after
every rain there can be no weeds, and
they will become fewer every year,
while the cultivation will prevent loss
of moisture in the soil by affording
a loose covering of dry earth.

Removing Fruit JAR Covers.

Fruit jar covers may be removed
from the jar by filling a small pan
half full of hot water, inverting the
jar in it, and letting it stand a few
minutes. The cover can then be easily
removed and is as good as new. BY
the old method of inserting knife
under the rubber, the cover is often
bent, and will cause the loss of fruit
if 1t is used again-Success.
