PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Chiidrea.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that Of adults
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food. He was 8
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference In his appearance
Is something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
|! I'VE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. 1 was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed 1t. So I urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical
'"Fhey continued the food and to-
day, both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, Of course, my friend is q frn be
lever in Grape-Nuts. for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day :

SUNLIGHT Best pisinfectant

The latest angle on healing that the
emergency of the European war has
created is the replacement of strong
sterilizing substances by plain, ordi-
nary, everyday sunlight
The rays of Old Sol have been dis
covered by French physician to be
the very best enemy of infected
wounds that nature has to offer.
The bacteria that complicate wounds
have been fought by acids and cleans
ing liquids of many descriptions and
degrees of strength. Carbolic acid is
one of the most rigorous of methods
used, although cauterization by a hot
branding iron is the most heroic.
