ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People a eat improper
food for a time until there is a sud-
den collapse of the digestive organs,
then all kinds Of trouble follow.
The proper way out Of the difficult
ty is to shift to the pure, scientific
food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds
from the foundation up. A New
Hampshire woman says: Z
Last summer I was suddenly TAX
en- with indigestion and severe stom-
ach trouble and could not eat food
without great pain, my stomach was
so sore I could hardly move about.
This kept up until I was so miserable
life was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit ny
former diet and try Grape-Nuts.
ALTHOUGH I had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that I could eat 1t
without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 I kept on using Grape-Nuts,
and soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
"Very soon the yellow coating dis
appeared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether ! felt as If l had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rap
Idly, and I went back to my work
with renewed ambition.
To-day I am a new woman in
mtnd as well as body, and I owe 1t all
this natural food, Grape-Nuts."

Cooking School.

Travelling cooking schools have re-
Gently been instituted in Germany
for the benefit of farmers daughters.
The Bavarian Farmers Association
vas the first to establish these
schools, and they chose nuns as teach
ers. The association pays the teach
ers and most Of the other expenses,
so that the cost to the pupils is very
small. It Is said that these travelling
schools have several other advantages
besides their accessibility. The teach
ings can be adapted to local condi-
tions and the pupils can at once put
into practice what they have learned.

Women are sensitive to the sur

beauty and JOY to them that will lift

The Most Wonderful Highway
Ever Built.
By e BRYAR.

Standing at the edge of the road
running over the top Of Fish Creek
Hill, out in Arizona, you can slip a
pebble from your fingers and 1t will
shoot almost straight down a thou
sand feet without stopping. But for
the fact that the government has
built it broad and comfortable, with
easy grades and many safe %turnouts,
it would be simply terrifying to go
over this road.
You have no need to be told that
bodybuilding in a country such as
this was difficult, for as soon as you
learned what was meant by the Salt
River project, you understand that
Uncle Sam had undertaken q ire
mendous job. But like everything
else he has ever set himself about
doing, he is carrying 1t through adj
mirably. A more difficult task, how
ever, was never undertaken than
building the road over Fish Creek
Hill. The engineer himself, after the
surveying party reached the top,
called a halt. For he wanted time to
think over the problem staring him
in the face, and which certainly de-
manded thought.
Looking over the cliff he saw into,
a blind canon, where there was not
even a foot-trail. A tiny stream of
water, and a few green trees were
barely discernable a thousand feet
below. But how to get there with a
wagon road, over which tons and
tons of machinery must be hauled,
was another question. To go around
the canon meant adding fifteen miles
to the road, which was not to be
thought of.
The only thing, he found, was to
blast a road down the face Of the
steep cliff, which was no ooner de-
cided upon than It was undertaken.
And the result Is a great thorough
fare built for forty miles through
the heart Of a rugged range of noun
tains, and for the most part literally
carved from the living rock. The
most wonderful highway ever built
by man.
It is not to be wondered that the
early Indians, uneducated as they
were, viewed the country round about
here with superstition and awe. For
| everywhere a panorama of noun
tains, steep-walled canons, and mar
row valleys are spread out to the
sight. And then the colors which
come and go upon these rocks and
stones a the changing light sheds
its varying glow upon the morning
scene, or the golden glory of a sun
set impresses its splendor upon the
wonderful range of vision! For in
some places the road over Fish Creek
Hill was cut from a rock that Is milk
white, and, again in places the noun
taintop was blasted of, and the road
built from the river up, while a lit
tie further on there is a long swing
on the edge of a profound gorge, and,
climbing higher, every step telling of
the difficult problem which has been
successfully worked out in road
building, until finally the wonderful
highway comes to the top of the mar.

will beat itself to stiffness and create
