NOT ON MEAT
Man Couldn't Regain Strength
Until He Changed to Grape Nuts.

It's common joke to say, He eats SO
much IL makes him poor to carry il
around" when speaking of some thin,
scrawny fellow who eats as much a
horse, but it is frequently true II the food
is not the kind the body calls for.
A German woman OF Chicago gives an
instance in her own family. It's briefly
told but the truth is there: My husband
lost his left hand in an accident and lost
a large amount of blood. He kept get
ting weaker for five months, and finally
got a severe cough. He would eat big
meals Of meat and potatoes to get well.
but didn't get any good from them.
Finally I persuaded him to try Grape
Nuts food. and from skeleton OF So
pounds he soon regained his normal
weight OF 2O7 pounds and is strong and
well, and declares he wants no other
food for the main part OF his meals.
LAS for myself. my flesh was habby.
tired SO easily and my memory was 80
poor I could keep nothing in my head.
but after three months of the Grape-Nuts
diet gained IL pounds. my flesh is hard
and firm, I am stronger and my memory
has improved wonderfully. l keep q

ESTIMATE FOR APPROPRIATIONS
WILL BE MADE IN DE-
TAILED FORM.
PRESENT WAY ANTlQUATED
Adapted Form of English Budget to
Be Presented to Congress Next Year
by Economy committee-cabinet to
Work on Plans.

Washington, Aug. 12.-As an object
lesson to congress to demonstrate his
belief in the advantage of the budget
system for making estimates and ap-
preparations for the federal govern
ment President Taft, it was learned
today, will send next years estimate
to congress in budget form to accom-
pany the regular book of estimates
which the secretary of the treasury is
required by law to submit. The entire
cabinet has been instructed to pre-
pare estimates under both plans
The proposed American budget, while
varying widely from the Englsa 34&-
get, because of the difference in the
structare Of Tic t1o suf, Il nnts, will
be designed to pre- sent u congress
and the people deteiled yad tand-
able program of b. ats en-
suing year, committing thc president
TO definitely eXpr sscd i, Of public
policy. The estimates wi be ex-
planned in detail, classified and COM
pared with previous appropriations
and expenditures and SHOW the rela-
tion of probable expenditures with
probable revenues for the ensuing
year.
The present method of submitting
estimates to congress in identical form
each year, without detailed informa-
ton showing definite program, is
regarded by President Taft, Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh and the
economy commission as unsystematic,
unscientific and antiquated.
The first budget will be drawn by
the economy commission, which re-
Gently recommended its adoption. Sec
retary MacVeagh in his last two an
nual reports strongly urged congress
to adopt the budget system IN order
to show the INTERPRETATION of income
and outgo. He advised the appoint
ment Of commission, representing
the executive and legislative branches
to study the problem.
