STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out In the Sunfiower
State writes carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 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.
ut 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 q preventive OF
disease 1t Is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benea-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies' who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t

"As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts 10 superior to q pound Of
meat for breakfast, which Is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. It sat

power Of resisting fatigue. while Its
use involves none Of the disagreeable

Red Cross is going to cooperate
Now the Red Cross has been colled on very
frequently of late years to lend a hand after
some great mine disaster, and it is today instru-
mental in supporting and educating many chill
dren whose fathers were killed in the disasters
of the past few years Thus the Red Cross Off
cias have had brought home to them the need
OF doing everything possible to save lives in
mines and to reduce the number and seriousness
OF mine accidents And anyway the Red Cross
has become deeply interested of late years in

so that it is now distributing first aid cabinets
all over the country and has on the road all the

from town to town enrolling workmen voun-

general organization volunteered to help make
the tournament a success.
