Criminality of Waste..
If I wanted to train a child to be
hrirty I should teach him to abhor
waste. I do not mean wasto of
money; that cures itBClf, because vory
soon there is no money to wast but
waBto of material, waste of something
that is useful but Hint you cannot rep
resent In money value to tho wuster.
There Is waste of water, waBto of gas
and things of that kind. If you would
wish your children to bo thrifty I
would beg to impress upon thorn the
criminality of waste. Lord Itosebory,
in nn Edinburgh Address.
NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.
Many persons nro learning that
drugs nre not tho thing to robuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element In tho
cereals, wheat, barlev. etc.. whlMi t
grown there by nature for food to bralff
anu nervo tissue. Tills Is the phos
phato of potash, of which Orapo-Nuts
food contains a largo proportion,
In making this food all tho food ele
ments. In the two cereals, whent and
barley, aro retained. That Is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find In Grape-Nuts u truonorvo
nnd brain food.
"I can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me us a nervo renew
cr," writes a Wis. bride.
"A fow years ago, before my mar
riage, I was n bookkeeper in a large
firm. I became so nervous toward tho
end of each week that It seemed I
must glvo up my position, which I
could not afford to do.
"Mother purchased porno Grnpo-Nuts
and wo found It not only dcllclotm but
I noticed from dny to day that I was
improving until I flnnlly realized I was
net norvous any more.
"I hnvo recommended it to friends
ns a bruin and nervo food, never hav
ing tnrmd its equal. I owo much to
Grape-Nuts as It saved mo from a
norvous collapse, and enabled me to
retain my position."
