REASONED IT OUT And Found a Change in Food Put
 Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the time he spends in thinking over his business, but he seems 10th to give the same sort of careful attention to himself and to his health. And yet his business would be worth little without good health to care for it. A business man tells how he did him. self good by carefully thinking over his physical condition. Investigating to find out what was needed. and then changing to the right food.
 For some years I had been bother ed great deal after meals. My food seemed to lay like lead in my stomach, producing heaviness and dullness and sometimes positive pain. Of course this rendered me more or less unfit for business and I made up my mind that something would have to be done
 Reflection led me to the conclusion that oyer-eating. filling the stomach with indigestible food was responsible for many of the ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punishing myself in that way-that was what was making me so dull, heavy and un- comfortable, and unfit for business after meals. concluded to try Grape Nuts food to see what it could do for me.
 "I have been using it for some months now, and am glad to say that I do not suffer any longer after meals; my food seems to assimilate easily and perfectly. and to do the work for which 1t was intended.
 'I have regained my normal weight, and find that business is a pleasure once more-can take more interest in 1t, and my mind is clearer and more alert"

Fighting M an.

It is mans nature to fight. It is his merit to fight for what he believes to be right. Courage and bravery are not achieved by hiring a lawyer A man who is not willing to fight to the death for the right or for his own is not as good or complete a man as one who is is willing. But opinions about this are not so important as the fact that 1t is mans nature to fight. and that neither resolr nor legislation nor provision to get over all kinds of trouble in any other way than fighting will avail.-Ellwood Hendricks, in At lantic.
