days, but six months on that food alone,
and we do not hesitate to say from our
long knowledge of the sustaining power
of the food that a man at the end cf
sixty days would be of practically the
same weight as when he started,-I he be
a man of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his work
he lost a pound day and made up a
round each dav from food If that prem
ise proved to be true the man in sixty
days time would make sixty pounds Of
tissue to replace what had been lost, and
this would be done on Grape-Nuts and
milk with half the number of calories or
butter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con-
centrated food like Grape-Nuts, which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
sanitation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will alb:
serb than many other forms Of food, and
We will further say that in cases of diges
tive troubles where meat, white bread
end oats cannot be digested, that Grape
Nuts and milk contain more nourish-
ment that the system will absorb than
| many pounds of these other foods.

~ last It occurred to the authori-
ties to examine a little box, of about
the size of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against a large
tree close by the house.
In this box several telephone wires
converged. 1t was a sort Of neigh
borhood switchboard.
What was the surprise of the tele-
phone men to find this box nearly
filled with nuts. They took out three
peach baskets full, each one holding
at least two quarts.

Spokane, Wash, June 19.-Managers
of diaries in and near Spokane will
issue Joint order on June II, com
pelling mixers and other male work
ers in their establishments TO shave
every other day. Thomas S. Griffith,
president of the Glen Tana dairy farm,
said he believes the plan originated
by j. B. Haggin, millionaire dairy
man in Kentucky. will be adopted IN
an parts of the country. The local
dairymen already have ruled against
tobacco chewing and have installed
wash basins and laundries in connec-
ton with the milking stables. The
mixers wear white suits, which are
changed every day Some of the dairy
men say that. while ban on whiskers
is without question one of sanitary
inheritance. such an order might make
II difficult to secure sufficient help
even at the present wage scale, which
ranger from $50 to $45 month. In
any event, it is announced, facia
adornments in the way of whisker'
must go.
