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 he.
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find 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
a 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 obtaina6
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 stnrdi.
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making It a
pleasure for one to carry on the da;Iv
duties without fatigue or exhaustion
Grape-Nuts food is In no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
reneWs and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
It's 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

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have
Felt Funny Sitting In the
Position Indicated.

The family horse, who re1o1ced IN
the eminently proper equine name OF
Dobbin, had earned rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
clining years in the broad pastures OF
a farmer friend of his owner. The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family four-year-old,
viewed the passing of Dobbin with UNI
feigned sorrow. She sat for long
time gazing disconsolately out of the
window. At last, after a deep sigh,
she turned with more cheerful ex'
preston, and said:
did old Dobbin go on the choo-
choo cars, mamma?"
YES, dear" answered her mother.
A broad grin spread over the little
girls face. Il was just thinking" she
said, "how funny he must feel sitting

lot of perfectly good cake-that's his
explanation, though it doesn't excuse
him-so he divided the slices up into
neat cubes and wrapped them in tissue
paper taken from the same lunch box.
These portions he dealt out to the
pretty stenographers on that floor, ex-
planning to them that his sister or
brother or somebody had been mar
ried the night before and that he had
managed to save them some of the
brides cake, that they might sleep
with it under their pillows for seven
nights-or whatever number Of nights

Bookkeeping is no longer restricted
to the high stool, the dark corner and

A certain young minister in PhiIa

nervous and sometimes his remarks
do not convey exactly the meaning he
intended. A few Sundays ago he rose,
fumbled with the papers on his desk,
blushed, and then said:

When the southerner was re-

the members of the mess de-

This was done, and the picture

the dark days of the war.
In the year 1855 there was

the stars Of a brigadier-general
