most OF all. the man who cannot get

these classes really mistake the thing
they condemn. What they mean to
get at Is the extravagant. irresponsi

the machine is only the outward and
visible sign. They forget that II II is

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician. of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe Il to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such a feeling as to my duty
/ take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape Nuts,
AMI that find there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used In all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons In health there il
nothing sc nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery OF the ,hu--
man system on the days work.
I'm cases of indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nuts and cream and think It Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. I also know the
great value OF Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
