JOHN ALSO NEEDED MONEY
AS It Turned Out, Wife Need Not
Have Been Afraid of What He
Might Say.

1t was Christmas eve. A beautiful
woman sat staring dolefuily at the
embers of the fire.
Christmas eve,; she murmured,
and no money to buy baby a Christ
mas gift"
Slowly her eyes wandered round the
room until, with a guilty start, they
rested on something standing on the
mantelpiece.
1t was baby's money box Her
hands clutched the chair convulsively.
If I only dared!" she murmured
But what would John say?"
For a few moments she stood de-
batting the awful question in her
mind, and then she took the box in
her hands.
John need never know she whis-
pered.
Then, with guilty face, she broke
open the box and emptied on to the
table collection of-tin tacks, nails,
ETC.
John had been there first.

WORKS ALL DAY
And Studies at Night on GraPe-Nuts
Food.

Some of the worlds great men have
worked during the day and studied
evenings to fit themselves for greater
things. But it requires a good consti-
tuition generally to do this.
A Ga. man was able to keep it up
with ease after he had learned the
sustaining power of Grape-Nuts, al
though he had failed III health before
he changed his food supply. He says:
Three years ago / had severe at
tack of stomach trouble which left me
unable to eat anything but bread and
water
"The nervous strain at my Office
from 6 A. NJ to P. NJ and improper
foods caused MY health to fail rapidly
Cereal and so-called Foods" were
tried without benefit until saw Grape
Nuts mentioned in the paper.
In hopeless desperation / tried this
food and at once gained strength, flesh
and appetite. am now able to work
all day at the Office and study at night,
without the nervous exhaustion that
was usual before l tried Grape-Nuts
ut leaves me strengthened, re-
freshed, satisfied; nerves quieted and
toned up, body and brain waste re-
stored. I would have been a living
skeleton, Or more likely dead one by
this time, if it had not been for Grape
Nuts
