PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more &C
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that OF
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
1t seemed as though We could almost
see him grow He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and ]
think he would have liked the food
for dinner
THE difference in his appearance is
something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied &C.
real foods Of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using It,
1--WE are now healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment They
showed 1t. So l urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
both children are we'll and strong as
any children In this city, and, of
course, my friend Is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"
