used to tell story which was re-
peated to us last week by Rev. w. w.

kota," he relates, land in the course
of conversation asked him if he was
connected with any religious denom-
ination. 'Yessir,' he answered, I'm a
Episcopal
"Of course this gratified me, and
asked him what parish he belonged to,
Hadn't heard about no parish, he
said, with a puzzled expression.
"Well, what diocese? l persisted,

A LADY LECTURER
Feeds Nerves and Brains Scientifically,

A lady lecturer writes from Philadel
phia concerning the use of right food
and how she is enabled to Withstand
the strain and wear and tear of her
arduous occupation. She says:
Through improper food, imperfect
ly digested, my health was complete
ly wrecked, and l attribute my recov'
cry entirely to the regular use OF
Grape-Nuts food. 1t has, l assure you,
proven an inestimable boon to me.
Almost Immediately after beginning
the use of Grape-Nuts l found graft
flying change in my condition. The ter
rible weakness that formerly pros
trated me after few hours Of work,
was perceptibly lessened and is now
only memory-it never returns.
Ten days after beginning on Grape
Nuts l experienced a wonderful in
crease in mental vigor and physical
energy, and continued use has entire
ly freed me from the miserable in
somnia and nervousness from which
l used to suffer so much.
81 find Grape-Nuts very palatable
and would not be without the crisp,
delicious food for even a day on any
consideration. Indeed, always carry
