A BRAIN WORKER Must Have the Kind of Food That Nourishes the Brain. “I am a literary man whose nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade, and ordinarily I have little pa- tience with breakfast foods and the extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledgment of the debt that I owe to Grape-Nuts food. “1 discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive appa- ratus. “I tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usually deficlent in nutri. ment. I experimented with many breakfast foods, and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till 1 reached Grape- Nuts. And, then the problem was solved. “Grape-Nuts agreed with me perfect- ly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment The vpetition calls attention to the many miles of streets now in an un- sightly and sometimes dangerous con- dition that are Injured by the heavy rains, which condition would be avoided by the use of ofl thereon. The streets 8o | treated with oil provide a pavement adequate to the traffic in the outlying districts, but property owners who con- template such action desiré that an or- | dinance be passed providing for the subsequent care of oiled streets by the ! eity that so many other prepared foods lack, “I had not been using it very long before I found that I was turning out an unugual quantity and quality of work. Continued use has demonstratea to my entire satisfaction that Grape- Nuts food contains -all the elements needed bv the brain and nervous sys- tem of the hard working public writer,” Name fl:; by Postum Co., Battle There’s a reason.

C. Ainsworth, militia secretary, in his re- port on the militia of the United States, says it Is estimated that about 75 per cent of the organized militia would respond to the call for troops to repel invasion or suppress insurrection against the author- ity of the United States, the percentage being the same as that estimated for the preceding year. Continuing, the secre- tary says: “Incrase of interest on the part of the younger men in the militia has been marked and the morale of the organiza- tions has been appreciably advanced. With but few exceptions, where organi- | zations have been reported upon adverse- ly by, inspection officers, the State mili- | tary authorities have promised to adopt remedial measures.
