STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a ju-
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious.
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family $
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as preventive OF
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefl-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
las TO its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
Isles the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue. while its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow

Sir William Ramsay the distinguished English
scientist has invented a pair of scales delicate
enough literally. to weigh thought. Their rec
ord so far is one seyen-millionth of an ounce,
which is considerably lighter than most thoughts
usually are. The scales are kept under Sir Will
lam's own laboratory in small subterranean
chamber.
The room is kept in semidarkness So deli
cate are these wonderful scales that their bal
ance is disturbed by the alteration of temperature
caused by the turning of an electric light at
the other end of the room. The operator has to
leave them for an hour in darkness-after he has
tptoed from the roof, that his football should
not set up any vibration-and then read them
swiftly before any change in the temperature has
had time aIect them.

grinding songs and the songs of inspiration and
encouragement intended to be sung to the war
riors setting out for battle.
1t is usually difficult for listener of another
race to catch an Indian song owing to the con-
ficting noise due. in great part. to the beating
of the drums. There is usually difference in
time the drum beats being designed to govern
bodily movements and mark the steps of the
ceremonial dancers. whereas the song voices the
emotion of the appeal The drums may be beaten
in "a time and the song be in S-4 time or the
beat be in SIS time against a melody in 3-4 time,
or the entire song may be sung TO a rapid tremoio
beating of the drum. The officials who have been
making a study of Indian music are enthusiastic
over its possibilities They declare that not only
does the field afford rich opportunities for the
study of the growth of musical form, but the
Indian songs themselves offer to the present-day
composer a wealth of melodic and rhythmic move
ments constituting source of inspir alton equal
to that which has been supplied by the folk songs
of Europe and vastly more serviceable in the
development of distinctive American school
of music.
