THREE REASONS
Each with TWO Legs and Ten Fingers

A Boston woman who is a fond
mother writes an amusing article
about her experience feeding her boys
Among other things she says:
"Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys

face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nu5s.

Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters a hand
full Of Grape-Nuts when they are beg
ging for something in the way OF
sweets. The result is soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength and
mental activity.

Porto Ricans Interested.

IN Porto Rico the Spanish exhibit
ton of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, the first of its kind, has met
with decided success. Twenty-Five
cities, including about one-third of all
the towns in the island, were visited
and over 100000 people viewed the ex-
hibit. The poor transit facilities in
the island made it necessary to haul
the exhibit from place to place on OK
carts, like a travelling country circus.
