seriously undertaking its own reform
alton; its possibilities TOR good and
also for dire evil are gieat; that ia
miliarity between the sexes among the

that there seems to be breaking

direction is being made in the pres

For twenty hours this food is
backbone reason you like
it-another reason why it
digests so easily.

One of the important things in connection
with any cereal food is to have it thor
oughly baked or cooked. For baking or
cooking changes the starch of the grains.
Grape-Nuts is sle longest baked of all
cereal foods. 1t is scientifically baked at
carefully regulated temperatures for 20
hours This is one of the reasons why
Grape-Nuts digests so easily; why it agrees
with many people who cannot take any
other form of cereal without producing
fermentation
A goodly part of Grape-Nuts is converted
into dexhose, ready to be Immediately assim-
Hated by the system, and yield strength and
energy. A further portion has partially
undergone this change, while there remains
sufficient unchanged cereal to strengthen the
digestive organs. 1t is then N a condition
to meet the various requirements of the
digestive system
IF you want to eat a most Strengthening
and nouriShing food, and one that will digest
more readily, go to your grocer today and
get package of Grape-NutS- Eat it with
stewed fruit or as cereal with milk or
cream; or make it into an appetizng pudding.

test Real Estate Offers Ever Made
Big, Beautiful, High,
Level Lots

Almost 100 wooded lots covered with. stately
forest trees that have been growing a lifetime.
In the highclass residence district on the north
side, where values are increasing by leaps and
bounds
1t is hardly necessary to call attention to the
fact that twenty-five years ago there was little
north of 10th street except corn fields, while now
many of the finest residences are between 10th and
60th streets and several are out even to 10Th
street, and that many lots which ten or fifteen
years ago could be bought for from $500 to 81 600
are now worth from 81, 500 to $4,000
As to the large profits in store for purchasers Of
north side real estate nothing more need be said.
Those who are wise buy little in advance Of the
big Improvements.
Ten, fifteen and twenty-five years ago there
were knockers, just there are today, but the
knockers have only regrets while those who took
advantage of their opportunities and bought made
the big profits, just as you do today.
