K. Portland, Ore., Sept. 14.—An attack upon mob violence was placed before the house of deputies of the genral convention of the Protestant Episcopal |church today in a resolution offered by Rev.

SAND” DOESN'T it mean good living at low cost? Foods that are ‘‘short”’ in nourishing value and ‘‘long’’ in waste are never economical. The food, Grape-Nuts, is economical to the last serving in the package, because every golden-crisp granule really contributes to body-building. Grape-Nuts offers the sturdy nutriment of wheat and malted barley in unusually compact form—a comparatively small amount providing exceptional nourishment. The 12- ounce package contains about 16 servings — costing about one cent each, Every bit of Grape-Nuts is real food, uniquely free from the bulky waste found in many other food products. Made from whole wneat flour and malted barley, Grape- Nuts has the benefit of 20 hours baking which so modifies . the starch of these grains that easy digestibility naturally results. Eaten with good milk or cream, Grape-Nuts is a complete food, which creates energy without taking away energy. And the gradual, daily accumulation of power is the greatest of all food economies, since reserve energy is what counts most, either in the sudden emergency or the long grind. A food for economy—a food for health! And a food with a charm of flavor all its own. “There’s a Reason” Grape:Nuts Fzzorevms AT ALL GROCERS Made by Postum Cereal Company, Inc., Battle Creek, Mich.
