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 a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
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 Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
Ior easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's 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.

YouSsif Mahm0ut Is Just Like a Child In The Hands
 If Frank GOtch
TOE-HOLD NOT NECESSARY IN TIE TITANTIC STRUGGLE
Gotch Takes Two Falls and the Match From His Opponent In Such Quick Time That Mahmout Had
 No Chance.

Dexter Pavilion, Chicago, April 14-- Frank Gotch of Humboldt, Ia, succeeded in retaining his title to the worlds cham pionship tonight by defeating Youssif Mahmout of Bulgaria. in a fast and fu- rious match. The much touted Bulgarian was as a child in the hands of the Amer ican master of mat strategy. Gotch won both falls by a crotch and half-Neson hold.
 The victory of the champion is all the more notable inasmuchsas as he did not use his famous toe-hold in bringing about the downfall of the powerful foreigner Gotch was able to secure almost any hold he desired, so limited was the Bull garian's knowlege of the game. The match was fast and exciting from the time the men entered the ring. It was so short that there was not single idle moment during the two falls.
 By 9:30 o'clock the large building was filled. It was estimated that there were 12,00O people in the pavilion. Every avail able seat was filled and hundreds were standing and clinging to the glrders in different parts of the building. Accord ing to the promoters, the aggregate re ceipts amounted to s35,0O0
 It was probably the largest crowd that ever witnessed wrestling match in Chicago, and exceeded the attendance at the Gotch -Hackenschmdt world s championship match last April by several thousand.
 After a conference lasting the greater part of the day Frank Gotch and Youssif Mahmout finally settled the trouble which threatened to arise over the fact that the Bulgarian purposed to enter the ring in his bare feet. It has been Mahmout's custom in his matches in this country to wrestle in his bare feet.
 Gotch felt that this would invalidate his chances for obtaining the toe-hold, his favorite grip upon. his opponent. Ac- cordingly he called attention to the rules which provided that all wrestlers should wear shoes during the course of cham pionship bout.
 Mahmout and his manager. Antonio Pierrie, remained stubborn and insisted on the Bulgarian entering the ring in his
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-15

bare feet. For a time it appeared as though the hitch would result in the call ing off of the championship match, but finally Mahmout agreed to forfeit $500 of his end of the purse to Gotch and enter the ring in his sare feet.
 The ring was finally cleared and Ref cree Ed w. Smith, who was the third man in the ring in the Gotch-Hacken- schmidt match, called the principals to the center of the ring and gave them their final instructions. It was Il o'clock before the big match began. Mahmout and his $500 pair of bare feet were greet ed with cheers and laughter.
 For the first three minutes the two men butted it about the ring without either getting a hold. Finally after three minutes of wrestling Gotch se- sured hold on Mahmouts left leg and threw him to the mat. The American champion twas after the foreigner like a wild cat and the Bulgarian was re- spending with every ounce of strength in his magnificent physique, but could not break the hold of Gotch, Mahmout bridged and used every artifce in his repertoire to forestall the inevitable fall that appeared to be approaching. But Gotch was not to be denied and gradually forced his opponents should CTS to the mat. It was magnificent test of strength between two of the greatest opponents of the wrestling game Finally Gotch secured a crotch and half Nelson hold and Referee Smith gave him the fall in eight min utes Mahmouts shoulders were pinned to the mat for the first time since he has been in this country
 The crowd cheered and yelled for some minutes after the fall. The sud- den ending of the fall came as com plete surprise to the spectators, who expected the much touted foreigner to give the champion Titanic struggle.
 Gotch and Mahmout started the sec ond fall at 11:29. After minute of feinting in the middle of the ring, the men mixed and Mahmout was success full in getting Gotch down on the mat. After a minute of defensive work
