 After three weeks recreation I ac- cepted a position as assistant cashier with one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the United States. feeling that the work would not be so hard mentally, and that the change would be for the best.
 Tt took just two days to convince me I had undertaken task beyond the power of my overworked and underfed brain, and I decided to again resign, disgusted with myself and the world in general That day met friend whose counsel I asked before taking the step After I had related my troubles to him he said, Eat Grape-Nuts, my boy
 q looked on his remark as joke at the time. but by the time I reached home I had thought it over and deter mined to give Grape-Nuts food trial, and the next day 1t was on my table The food seemed to give me new life from the start and gradually great power for work became evident. It in- creased from day to day, my brain be- came active and my capacity for mental work unlimited. My duties at the of flee, that at first seemed beyond my capability, are now accomplished with precision, accuracy and pleasure
 Last month was promoted to. the position of cashier amid the congratu- lations of my friends. I attribute my success to those wonderful little grains of food-Grape-Nut and to all I re- peat motto that is worthy of thought. Eat GrapeNuts, my boy Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek. Mich. s@f
