GONE TO BEAR HEAVEN BY TIIJ5 MUSHY FOOD ROUTE i Borne little Johnny bears ate too freely of pasty, undercooked oats and wheat got more ' starchy food than they could dlest. One had appendicitis and the other bowel trouble. They learned too late that pasty, starchy and half cooked cereals, added to white bread, potatoes and other starch food, makes more starch than the average man or woman can di gest. Then follows ' starch Indigestion," well known to physicians and a very common complaint. , If the food is not changed, serious bowel complaints set' up and all too often appendicitis follows, directly traceable to' irritation and disease caused by undigested starch. These facts caused the invention of GRAPE - NUT In which the starch of .Wheat and Barley is transformed by scientific cook ing into sugar (shining on the outside of each little granule of Grape-Nuts). One can have the delicious ready cooked food, enjoy it, obtain the value and energy of the corbohydrates and yet not in the least tax the digestive organs. Don't let any one deceive you by saying the stomach and bowels net! hard and indigestible oats and wheat to give' them exercise! ! ! ! They get too much exercise usually with the other food. 'ever fear that the organs of digestion will get weak FROM LACK OP EXEKCISE. Tax them a little further than you are doing at present and you may join the Johnny bears, with ears in the daisies and feet to the stars. There is sober fact worth careful thought in the tremendous mistake made in the selection and use of indigestible food. v Bodily health and increased strength follow the use of GRAPE Solid proof of its There's a reason.

Nineteen beeta were tested at tha factory yesterday and they contained on an adverage over 11 per cent of augar The percentage required for grinding up is 1$ and two weeka more will easily put on the additional amount of sweetness. Tha factory Itself Is now In complete readiness for the running and every wheel can start at a moment's notice. The big machines will begin to make little white granulea just aa soon as the beets are ripe enough and the run will probably last until about Christmas time." Degree of Honor Coaveatloa.
