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 a
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 andnerve
building food elements in condition
for 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 q
stimulant 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 MELVILLE"

The completion of . few miles of
government road now in course of
construction east of Havana, and the
finishing up of some miles more on
which work is now being rushed west
of that city will make Of three prov
inces of Cuba before the present year
is out (unless existing plans. are de-
layed in execution) one vast tropical
park fully opened for the first time to
the touring car.
In each of these three provinces
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas
there is already complete and in
use a network of roads radiating
from the respective provincial capt.
tails, Pinar del Rio city, Havana itself,
and the town of Matanzas, whence
the highways reach eastward with
Santiago de Cuba itself as their objec
tive point. What has been lacking
heretofore has been proper connec-
ton between these provincial sys-
TENS and this is now being rapidly
supplied.
Government roads in Cuba are
nothing less than magnificent boule-
vards-wide, white and even, without
grades over six per cent. Chat maxi
mum being infrequenD, without sharp
curves, finished all in Telford mac
adam and equipped with culverts,
drains and the best of bridges. Over
these highways arch ancient laurels,
royal poncianas and other Towering
trees, which make travel cool de-
light the year around. Were one to
ascend in a balloon he would dis
cover that dark-green ribbons of TO-
liage laid across the face of the land
mark the routes of government roads
over Cuba.
These roads invite the automobilist
to explore the fairest country mag
Unable; they lead him forth up gentle
hills and along the TANKS of sleeper
highlands; into smiling, fertile val
legs where royal palm groves stand;
by the shores of intensely blue seas;
or, again, within sight of green, wood
ed mountains, dark and irregular
against luminous sky.
No description can do the land
scape of Cuba justice. To be believed
it must be seen in all its fairy-like
coloring and unusual combinations of
hill and vale, palms, pines and hang
ing aeroids, wild wastes and produc-
tive farmlands, sea, sky and mountain
alternating or perhaps blended into
exotic panorama.
For instance, in a few hours, start
ing from Havana, it is possible to
cross Cuba from the Atlantic ocean
on the north shore to the Caribbean
sea on the south. The distance from
Havana to Batabano is but 80 miles
or so. A fine road runs all the way,
through very pleasant country, now
level, now broken by the Managua
hills, through which the highway
finds a passage among thick clusters
of palm trees without ascending a
heavier grade than five per cent. Ba-
tabano is the center of the sponge
fishing industry and there is much of
interest in the old town and espe-
cially in the port itself, which Is some
four kilometers distant from the town
proper.

To Improve Quality OF Potatoes.
An extensive dealer in potaties in

ben county, New York, 125 bushels
of a choice variety of this years crop,
to be grown in that locality, the crop
to be shipped back to Bermuda to
use as seed for next seasons plant
ing. This method is adopted to obtain
hardy and vigorous seed and in case
the experiment is as successful as it
is believed it will be it is probable
that it will be repeated on much
larger scale in succeeding seasons.
Most of the seed has already been
placed among leading growers, who
have contracted to grow it for 40
cents q bushel. Last year Bermuda

is evidently gaining favor.
