EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook-
Almost every one likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking cereals
results in a pasty mass that is hard to
digest, and if not properly digested,
the raw mass goes down into the intes-
I final tract where gas is generated and
, trouble follows.
Every one knows that good food
I properly digested keeps the body well,
while poor food, or even food of good
| quality that is poorly prepared and not
digested, is sure to bring on some kind
of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
I factory, some 12 to 16 hours before con
i sumed in the different processes of
preparation. The food, therefore, is
ready for instant service and the starch
has been changed to a form of sugar,
so that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food '
that was not suitable to her powers of
digestion. She says:
‘‘l began using Grape-Nuts, and I
confess to having bad a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the food, but I i
have not known what indigestion is ■
since using it. and have never been I
stronger or in better health. I have in
creased in weight from 109 to 124 '
pounds. ’ ’
People can be well, practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the indigestible
sort.
“There's a Reason.”
Grape-Nuts food is crisp and deli
cious to the taste. It should be served
exactly as it comes from the package,
without cooking, except in cases where
it is made up into puddings and other
desserts. —Book of delicious recipes,

ETHELBERT—The wiser you become
and the more homely philosophy you ab
sorb, the happier you will be. Only a
I silly woman must have everything in
। the world to make her contented. Most
of us have known the time when a new
| pair of shoes or a one-dollar bill meant
eighteen carat bliss. If you can’t marry
'the man you love, don’t mourn. Per-
I haps it’s just as well. If you haven't
a lot of money, don't you care, for if

lightning any quicker if you sing real
loud. Cheer up!
DESPAIR —.Secret marriages and af
finity love affairs all must come to a
sad or tragic finale. The usual fnish is
nlaiu boredom and an unflattering de
sire to beat oneself to death. There’s
no real pleasure in anything that isn't
fair and square, and .all that talk about
stolen sweets is unwholesome rubbish,
designed to chloroform one's conscience.
Dismiss your crazy wooer. Then hold
iiu your head, breathe the frosh air and

FLOWER CURE FOR FLIES.
The confectioner's shop was quite
free of dies, though all the cakes and
sweetmeats were uncovered. “That
mignonette.” said he. “is what keeps
the flies away. We have it in pots all
over the place. The odor is so unpleas
ant to flies that they won’t come near
us. I got the idea from the sooth. There
the butchers and confectioners always
have mignonette growing in their shops,
and they can expose their wares with
out any fear of flies’ attacks.
“It’s a good idea. One sprig of mig
nonette in my window keeps it quite
fly free.”—National Food Magazine tor
