THE CARELESS GROCER
and Great Good Came of I

A careless grocer left the wrong
package at Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.

stomach troubles, SO acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought on a condition
of such extreme nervousness that /
could not be left alone. | thought I
should certainly become insane / was
SO reduced in flesh that was little bet
ter than living skeleton. The doc
tors failed to give me relief and / de-
SPARED of recovery.
One. day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis-
take. SO tried some for dinner / was
surprised to find that it satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what
ever. The next meal ate of It again,
and to be brief. have lived for the
past year almost exclusively ON Grape
Nuts. 1t has proved to be a most
healthful and appetizing food, per-
fectly adapted to the requirements Of
my system.
"Grape-Nuts is not only easily d.
gested and assimilated. but / find that
since l have been using it 1 am able
to eat anything else my appetite fan
cies. without trouble from indiges-
tion. The stomach trouble and ner-
vousness have left me, have regain
ed my plumpness and my views Of
life are no longer Respondent and
gloomy.
"Other members of my family, espe-
cially my husband. (whose old enemy.
the heartburn. has been vanquished)
have also derived great benefit from
the use of Grape-Nuts food and we
think no morning meal complete with
out it." Name given by Postum Co,

Wear Of the Four Kinds In Use.
Row persons realize that the United
states government annually sells AZ
most 1OO0.OO0.O0O postal cards, weigh
ing Approximately 100000 pouhds'
nor is it generally known that there
arc four different kinds Of cards IN use
Thcv are the Mckinley card'-the
best tnown-priuted in rcd; the George
and Martha Washington reply cards
with the head Of Martha Washington
on the reply section; the two cent III
ternational card which bears Grants
head. and the Lincoln which Is
made slightly smaller than the Nc
Kinley card so as to ft any standard
card index.
To fill the country's enormous de-
mand for these various cards the pos
tai card printing plant in Washing
ton. ID. c.. turns out an average OF
3.JOO.O0O cards each working day. The
| daily output is regulated by the daily
consumption and at times the com
paratively small force in this Office has
to turn out 100000 cards in one day.
This. however. does not happen often.
/, II the total yearly output of govern
! ment postal cards were TO be stored
in one huge building 10000 cubic feet
would be required and If laid end to
end in q line the billion cards would
stretch around the earth more thar
three times.
In spite of the huge output only
twenty persons are needed in the
