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, addedfto a great grief.
II 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-
sia, I think now) and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me,
had no faith in It. However, tried
it, and soon there was marked i'm
provement in my condition.
Il had been troubled with faint
spells. and had used a stimulant to
revive me. / found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times I was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was a 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
derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as noon luncheon. was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin-
airy lunches, and so made the expert
ment Of taking a package Of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickeIs
worth Of sweet cream to add to it.
81 found that this simple dish, fin
ished of with an apple, peach. orange,
or Ainch OF grapes made a lunch At
for king. and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
II throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that did not have to give up my work
at all, and IN the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.

There is a prospect that the sen

law providing for publicity of cam
paign contributions and expenditures,
and that the measure, when reported,

house bill. The amendments will ex.
tend the law to primary elections.
Since the primary elections in the
South are decisive, 1T was considered
advisable to make the provisions OF
the bill apply to these also.

together, and reached an agreement.
When shown the report of the ac-
