warder in charge of the squad had not
noticed the action. The elder Gilfllan
was not afraid of any punishment that
might fall upon himself; he was afarid
lest the morsel of tobacco would be
taken away from the sick youth who

JOY WORK
And the other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause 1t meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because OF love OF
their work.
1t is fact that ones food has much
to do with 1t. AS an example:
II an engine has poor oil, or a boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result is
certain, isn't 1t?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch OF

"Grape-Nuts" as daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use.
We have thousands of testimonials,

out OF curioslty-as last resort-with
the result that prompted the testimo-

II you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while to give 1t a fair impair
