WISE WORDS
A Physician on Food.

A western physician has views about
food He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we owe
il to humanity to teach them how to
protect their health especially by by
gienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling as to my duty |
take great pleasure in saying, that, in
my own experience and also from per-
sonal observation, have found no
food TO equal Grape-Nuts and that |
find thtre is almost no limit to the
great benefit this food will bring when
used in all coses Vi sickness and con-
yalescence.
1T is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach especially at breakfast
to start the machinery of the human
system on the days work.
'In cases of indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made OF
Grape-Nuts and cream; and | think il
is necessary not to overload the stom
aeh at the morning meal l also know
the great value of Grape-Nuts when
the stomach is too weak to digest 9th
er food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years treating all man
ner of chronic and acute diseases, and
the letter is voluntary an my part with
out any request for it,

Greek, Mich.

one appears from time to time. The,

STUDY WAR LESSONS.
Congress Will Wait for Results
in Europe.
To Take No Action for National De-
fense Until Proof of Offensive
and Defensive Efficiency Is
Produced.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

STAG Correspondent of the Western News
per Union.
Washington.-Congress is giving at
tention to the matter of military pre-
paredness.
Through speeches made in congress
and through the hearing before the
rules and military committees facts
are coming out concerning the navy
and the army of the republic. No facts
are attested which have not been at
tested before, but today there is SO
much interest in the general matter
of preparedness that the committee
proceedings are getting wide publicity
while in years past when the same
thing was told the committeeman,
little or no attention was paid to them.
The war in Europe has changed the
whole situation
Unquestionably congress will make
study of the lessons of the European
war by the military experts before it
appropriates money for specific types
of big guns or of battleships. 1t does
not seem likely that the dreadnaughts
are to pass, although it does seem
likely that the submarines will be
given much more permanent place
In the plan of defense. Small field
howitzers may give way to big
field howitzers and it is barely DOS
sible that the big IL and 14-inch sea
coast guns may lose their emplace-
ments to the 16-inch guns, but before
final decision is made the efficiency
records of the ships of the war fleets
and the range and penetration and
general destructiveness of the differ
ent types of artillery weapons must
be determined. The present war is
depended upon to produce the proof
OF offensive and defensive efficiency.
If the people of the United States
want to get in nutshell the answers
to the question. What is the matter
with our army?" let each individual
write to his representative in con-
gress and ask for senate document
No. 621 printed with the title, What
is the Matter With Our Army"
