BUSINESS WOMEN
A Lunch Fit for a King.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:
"Some years ago / suffered from
nervous prostration, induced by con-
tinuous brain strain and improper
food, added to great grief.
IT was ordered to give up my work,
as there was great danger of my mind
failing me altogether. My stomach
was in bad condition nervous dyspep-
STA, think now and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me,

provement in my condition.
IT had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant tc
revive me. found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times / was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was great gain. AS to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-.on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
Il wish especially to call the atten-
ton of office girls to the great benefit
I derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as a noon luncheon. / was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin-
airy lunches, and so made the expert
ment of taking package Of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickel's
worth of sweet cream to add to it.
II found that this simple dish, fin
ished off with an apple, peach, orange,
or bunch of grapes made lunch fit
for a king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
Il throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet.

Market HOGS Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years; in the decade
IS70-1879 the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was abo-t
275 pounds; in the decade 18S0-1SSs
about 257 pounds; in the decade 1890
1899 about 239 pounds, and in the
past decade 1900-1909 about 21s
pounds. In other words, hogs mar
keted between 80 and 40 years ago
averaged one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent wears.

Lovers of baseball have often asked me
how / deal with a batsman whom / have

/ know nothing Every seasoned pitcher
has been called on often enough to meet
batters he never saw before, and in such
pinches he must rely largely on luck.
When l am facing new batsman for the
first time, / pay particular attention to two
things-the position he assumes at the plate
and the way he holds his bat If, for in
stance he holds his bat well up toward the
middle there isn't uch use of sending him
speed. Batters of this type are always ready
for speed and they can meet the fastest
ball man ever threw. A low curve on
