A WINNING START
A Perfectly Diaested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast Of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago contracted a very
annoying form Of indigestion. My stom-
ach was In such condition that sim
pie breakfast OF fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.

could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give 1t up, and found
great change upon cup OF hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
year l have held to this course and
have not suffered except when inIudi-
ciously varying my diet,
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving Of nery-
Gus force for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value OF
