Man Eats Bushels Of
Breakfast Food
AT AGE OF 70 HE SAYS HE LIKES
1T NO MATTER WHAT
OTHERS SAY.

Every morning F. G. Nighman of
SIG No. Market street sits down to a
large sized bowl Of breakfast food
and milk.
Every noon he sits down and gets
away with a big bowl of milk and
breakfast food.
And evenings after a hard days
work, you might happen in and find
him engaged in putting away an
other bowl full Of the delectable mix
ture.
Nighman is a man of 70, works
hard every day and declares that he
can find more nourishment in break.
fast food than in the juicy steaks
and chops that man ordinarily eats
to keep him in condition for the daily
strife.
When a News man visited Nighman
at his home a little after noon, he
found him just about to sit down to
dinner.
DO you eat this stuff sparingly
or in large quantities?" he was ask
ed.
81 don't eat very sparingly of it,
now l tell you," said he, tossing
down a couple Of bowlfuls, to show
he meant what he said.
81 don't eat any little bit, | eat a
lot" he resumed, 81 subsist on 1t,
and tell you like it, too"
81 tried em all, an none of 'em
was any good, and then | somehow
came across this" and he cast a
loving eye at the package by his
elbow, an that was three or four
years ago. an I've been eatin' it
ever since."
why, bought three dozen pack
ages, first crack-an' I'm buying 1t
by the carload now"
Mr.. Nighman's pantry shows evi
dence of the truth of his statements
for it looks like a wholesale gro,
Gerry with it's rows and rows of yellow
boxes, all filed with the aforesaid
breakfast food.
Mr.. Nighman displayed a clipping
which he had cut from a Columbus
paper and which declared that most
breakfast foods were composed OF
weeds of various kinds. He took ex
ceptions to this flippant remark OF
the Columbus paper and said that al
though some of the foods on the mar
ket might be cheap affairs and worth
less, he thought he had the brand
that would stand any test.
