He found, he says, that monster

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation of
health. People can eat improper food
for time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says
Last summer was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore could hardly move about. This
kept up until l was so miserable life
was not worth living.
"Then friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although 1 had but little faith
commenced to use 1t, and great was
my surprise to find that l could eat
it without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 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 disap-
peared 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 had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and | went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day l am new woman in mind
as well as body, and / owe it all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"

passed the one of to-day In spectacu
lar and pathetic features. The pa
rade formed at the beautiful Eagle
gate on South Temple street. First
in line were the regulars of the Fiji
teenth United States infantry and the
entire National Guard of Utah, acting
as escorts. Next came the forty
four departments of the Grand Army
of the Republic, the Naval Veterans,
the Ex-Union Prisoners of War, and In
carriages the surviving members of
Nurses.
Scattered through the line were nu
merous military bands and fife and
drum corps.
Greeted with Cheers and Tears.
At the word of command the parade
marched west to Main street and
turned south down that thoroughfare,
proceeding seven blocks between solid
walls of cheering men, women and
children AS the grizzled veterans
passed the enthusiasm was tremen-
dous and many a spectator wept un-
do uc ItdllLGu that tuIS was
undoubtedly the last grand review for
scores of the feeble heroes who
trudged along with eyes ON the flag
for which they had given some of the
best years of their lives.
When Seventh South street was
reached the paraders themselves
broke out in mighty cheering, for
there they turned in front of the most
beautiful feature of the day, the "Liv-
ing Flag" On an immense stand
were $500 children dressed in the
national colors and so arranged that
they made perfect representation of
waving American flag
The little ones had been drilled for
many weeks, and while the old sol
diers passed they sang patriotic airs.
At the Reviewing Stand.
Countermarching, the parade now
moved north on Main street back to
