OLD-FASHIONED FARE.
Hot Biscuits, Griddle-Cakes,.Pies and
Puddings.
The food that made the fathers strong
U sometimes unfit for the children un
der the sew conditions that our chang
ing civilization is constantly bringing
in. One of Mr. Bryan's neighbors in
the great state of Nebraska writes:
MI was raised in the south, where
hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, pies and
puddings are eaten at almost every
meal, and by the time I located In Ne
braska I found myself a sufferer from
Indigestion and its attendant Ills
distress and pains after meals, an al
most constant headache, dull, heavy
sleepiness by day and sleeplessness at.
night, loss of flesh; Impaired memory,
et&, etc
"I was rapidly becoming incapaci
tated for business, when a valued
friend suggested a change in my diet,
the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff"
and the use of Grape-Nuts food. 1
followed the good advice and shall al
ways be thankful that I did so.
"Whateyer. may be the experience
of others, the beneficial effects of the
change were apparent in my case al
most immediately. My stomach, which?
bad rejected other food for so long,
took to Grape-jtats most kindly; In a
day or two my' headache was gone, I
began to sleep healthfully and before
a week was out the scales showed that
my lost weight was coming back. My
memory was restored with the re
newed Tlgor that I felt in body and
mind. For three years now Grape
Nuts food has kept me In prime condi
tion, and I propose It shall for the
rest of my days.
"And by the way, my m-year-old
baby is as fond of Grape-Nuts as I
am, always insists on having It It
keeps her as healthy and hearty as
they make them." Name given by
