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:
1.-TWO years agoI 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.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and found
q great change upon cup Of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
year | have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-
ciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means 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
Grape-Nuts.

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es'
tabilstment of Sanitoriums for
the tuberculosis.

According to figures contained In the
perintendent Of the Rhode Island state
sanitorium, the earnings Of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $780,
000 This Is a sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 of ITO
ex-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
s31 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to s102,752. On
this basis. DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation of far
advanced cases would be still better
Investments
Out of total of 46,450 hospital days
treatment given, 9,147, or Sd per cent,
were free. the treatment costing the
state on an average 5000 per patient.
Out of 1873 free cases investigated, Sc
had no families and no income on adj
mission to the sanitori1im. Out Of
1872 patients having homes, the num-
Der in the family averaged 81, and
the average family earnings were
s5.46. In SO cases the families had no
income, and in only five cases were
there any savings, none of which
amounted to as much as $500.
