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
now 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 n
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
ana 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 and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen In marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity OF the brain
and nervous system, making it
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 1t 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.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, The Road TO MELVILLE"

top notch One would think that
there is ample machinery already in

this he would create a 100000 new

FIGURES TELL TALE
HERE is LUCID EXPLANATION OF
TARIFF JUGGLERY.
Discussion All Centered on the "Big'
Schedules Where Oppressive lnd-
rect Taxation Is Hidden-Trusts
In lmpresnable Position.

The average tariff taxes collected
from American consumers has been
about s3O0,0OO,O0O per year, during the
last three years. The largest sum
ever collected In one year was 1929.
100000 in 1907.
Fully three.fourths of this enormous
total is realized on small group Of
schedules. Twelve articles. or groups
Of articles alone paid s25O,OOO,OOO tar.
IN taxes in 1907. These were sugar,
totton, tobacco, manufactures of flb-
ors, manufactures of silk manufact'
Wes of wool, raw wool, wines and
liquors, iron and steel china and
earthenware, drugs and chemicals,
fruits and nuts
Sugar alone paid s60,OO0,O00 duty in
1905; cotton manufactures $4,000.
O00 leaf tobacco, S22.0OO,0O0; manu-.

In these figures We have lucid ox.
planation of tariff jugglery in both

ing has been on the big" schedules.
Naturally so, because 1t is in these
schedules that the bulk of oppressive
indirect tariff taxation is hidden.
The sugar and tobacco trusts did
not even have to put up n serious
fight. Their position in the big rcye.
nucpruducing class shielded them, and
they have had steady buffer against
tariff reduction in the demands OF ma
tive producers. Cotons, nbcrs. silk
and wool have furnished the real bat.

Republican Tariff plank Is Fraud

Democrats of the house were only
wasting time in trying to get through
resolution calling upon the secretary
OF state for reports on the cost OF
manufactured products in foreign
countries other than Germany. from
which the information has already
been obtained. Difference between
cost Of production at home and abroad
being the cornerstone Of the Repub.
lican tariff platform. this information
would have been sought last winter
by the house committee on ways and
means If the Republican party had
had any intention OF doing what IL
promised. At the same time the
ways and means committee would
have sought the corresponding figures
OF cost for the United States from the
department Of commerce and labor.
The Republican tariff plank has been
fraud from the time It was written.
