THREE REASONS

Boston woman who is fond
mother writes an amusing article about
her experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says: Three
chubby, rosy checked boys, Bob, Jack,
and Dick, respectively, are three of our
easons for using and recommending
the food, Grape-Nuts, for these
youngsters have been fed on Grape
Nuts since infancy, and often between
meals when other children would have
been given candy.
"I gave a package of Grape Nuts to
neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a
weakened little thing. i'll half the time.
The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and
cream greediIy and the mother con-
tinued the good work, and it was not
long before truly wonderful change
manifested itself in the child's face and
body. The results were remarkable
even for Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and well and
have three of the finest, healthiest boys
you can find in a days march"
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy and
cake give the youngsters handful of
ssrape-Nuts when they are begging for
something in the way OF sweets. The
result is soon shown in greatly in
creased health, strength and mental
activity.

Chicago, two of the fastest sprinters in
the western colleges Of that time.
While an undergraduate at Prince
