People can live in temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance OF
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup of well-made Postum.
BY this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot. car
bonaceous foods have been left out.
The result is a very marked difference
In the temperature of the body. and
to this comfortable condition is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment In food,
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
can be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

TO advertise good things When you see
an article advertised in this paper year
after year you can be absolutely certain
that there is merit TO II because the con-
tinued sale Of any article depends upon
merit and TO keep on advertising one
must keep on selling All good things

tain, they never expect to have any per-
manent sale and your dealer would never
sell them If he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Aliens Eoot-Ease. the
