the size of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against large
tree close by the house.
In this box several telephone wires

What was the surprise Of the tele-

filled with nuts. They took out three

DAYS. but six months on that food alone,
and we do not hesitate 10 say from our
long knowledge of the sustaining power
of the food that man at the end on
sixty days would be of practically the
same weight as when he started,-lt be be
a man Of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his work
he lost a pound day and made up
pound each day from food. II that prem
ise proved to be true the man IN sixty
davs' time would make sixty pounds OF
tissue to replace what had been lost, and
this would be done on Grape-Nuts and
milk with half the number OF caloUes or
lutter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore. we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con-
centrated food like Gmpe-Nuts, which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
similaton by the body, presents more
ncurishment that the system will alb.
scrh than many other forms Of food, and
we will further say that in cases Of diges-
tive troubles where meat, white breaN

many pounds of these other foods.
