was not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself in the child's
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.

Many mothers instead of destroying
the childrens stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters hand
full of Grape-Nuts when they are beg

sweets. The result is soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength and
mental activity.

WILSON
HAS A SUGGESTION
Thinks hll Semblance of
Mass Play Should Be
Eliminated.

The many fatalities resulting from
football have aroused local reformers.
Followers Of the sport have devised
al sorts Of plans to rectify present
faults and dangers.
One of the wisest suggestions Of the
many is the idea of Principal Emory
Wilson. of Central High School. one Of
the most enthusiastic sport followers in
the District
Mr.. Wilson is a thorough student OF
the game and this season has devoted
particular attention to IL because Of the
notoriety gained through the numerous
fatalities
The plan suggested is the elimination
Of mass plays b. the passage of a rule
fOrbldding plays within a limit OF five
yards outside Of center. This would
limit the game to end runs, forward
passes, and various trick plays. Natur-
ally with the present defense It would
be almost impossible to larry out such
a suggestion. Prin ipaI Wilson sug-
gests a remedy for this In the nature
Of a new rule for defensive formation,
forcing at least seven players on the
line Of scrimmage, and limiting the dis
tauce between tae hnemen to one yard
or any reasonable distance that would
give the opposition an even chance.
With rules along this line, weight
would be a less important factor in
the game A speedy team would have
decided advantage.
The changing o. the rules Of the game
20 this extent would not as some would
suppose. detrSSt from the interest. On
the contrary the continual excitement
that would result from necessary ex-
nibitons of speed would add rather than
detract from the interest and pleasure
Of the sport.
