The word Temperance" Is usually
limited to sobriety-temperance in al
cohOlic drinks. But 1t has a much
broader meaning than that. Temper
ance is moderation. 1t is antagonistic
to anything that navors Of excess.
Therefore 1t not only applies to so
briefly. but to every phase of life where
harm may come through excess. no
matter how harmless, yea. even bene-

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing

It 10 serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when persons
stomach 10 out Of order and most foods
cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will di-
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years. ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food, and
then suffer such agony with my stom-
ach l would wish I never had to eat
anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts AMI
since using 1t do not have to starve
myself any more. but can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts

and ! am now strong and we'll
MY hsband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickiy in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was put UNI
der the Doctors care. but medicine did
not seem to do him any good until he
began to leave off ordinary food and
use Grape-Nuts. It was positively sur
prising to see the change in him. He
grew better right off, and naturally
he has none but words of praise for
Grape-Nuts.
Our boy thinks he cannot eat 4
meal without Grape-Nuts. and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
or and other scholars comment on it..
I am satisfied that it is because of the
great nourishing elements in Grape
Nuts
There's a Reason
It contains the phosphate Of potash
from wheat and barley which combines
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centres.
1t is pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind OF food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The rea.
way is to stick to proper food and lie
healthy and get along without medi-
cine and expense.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine. true. and full Of human
lntorest.
