Only four states, Mississippi, Me-

beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptiTes. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention Of Tubercu-
Iosis was organized, there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanfto-
rum provision for consumptiyes exist
ed, and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
Iosis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
On the subject, there are still prae-
ticalIy ten INDECENT consumptiyes for
every one of the 10000 beds, including
! those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 100000 to 100000 CON

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see if you
can put it out
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds Of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop OF
potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in
a few days that craving. gnawing feel
ing would start up, and I would vomlt
everything l ate and drank.
When l started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
My mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she don't think she
could do without it.

and undisturbed after a supper OF

can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."
