FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had Stomach

Talking OF food. there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor Of q
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order. the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can be readily as
simulated. and which furnishes true
brain nourishment.

that they have benefited mo as med
icines never did, and more than any
other food that ever came on my
table.
MY experience Is that the Grape
Nuts food has steadied and strength
ened both brain and nerves to a most
positive degree. How It does It I
cannot say, but know that after
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one
actually forgets he has a stomach.

my opinion, the most beneficial az
