Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre digcslcd must be selected
when one is convalescent At thin
time there is nothing so valuable an
Grape Nuts for the reason that tliisi
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment A woman who
used it says
Some time ago I was very ill with
typhoid fever so ill everyone thought
I would die even myself It left mo
so weak 1 could uot properly digest
food of any kind and I also had much
bbel trouble which left me a weak
helpless wreck
I needed nourishment as badly an
anyone could but none of the tonica
helped me until I finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening Thin
not only supplied food th I thought
delicious as could be mt it also niado
me perfectly well and strong again
so I can do all my housework sleep
well can cat anything without any
trace of bowel1 trouble and for that
reason alono Grape Nuts food is worth
its weight in gold Niine given by

TALK ON ADVERTISING
By C W Post to Publishers at Banquet at Battle Croak
The sunshine thatmakes a bubinooo
plant grow is advertising
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an apple tree
You may select good seed plant it in
good soil water and work with it but
Some thoughtful man might say that
if what you manufacture has merit
once ycu get a trade established peo
ple will continue to purchase even if
the advertising is stopped but to act
on that conclusion would be a fatal
the tree will not produce fruit until i mistake for there are always bright
another and most powerful j men on the lookout to steal Jour ap
ing and life giving element is brought pies and if jcu give them the chance
to bear Ycu must have sunjhine and j they will come in ami take the fruit
lots of it Can you expect to ripen sure Right here let us drive a nail
apples in the dark Can you expoct j not a shingle nail but a forty penny
to grow a profitable business plant i syike Your article must have merit
nowadays without tre sunshine of pub
lic favor produced by advertising
This Postum plant is a good illus
tration of that law It seems but a
far end away beyond the ordinary un-
advertised thing It should be tio
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce Then you havo
short time asro when I put a few men i a foundation to build upon that will
at work in the carriage house of the
barn you have seen to day where we j
began making Po3tum coffee j
The seed then planted less than 9

building grows heavy There are per
sons ignorant enough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into

apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn th apple
tee into a productive and profitable
tree was another question
It needed suishine and the kind of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazine It is an abso
lute certainty that without the pub
licity thus given in other words the
sunshine the business never would
have developed
You have seen to day factory build
ings thirteen or fourteen in number
covering many acres of ground em
ploying hundreds of workpeople pro
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 9 years old We
have found it necessary inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine to
continue the work and the sunshine
it will be foun 1 to
merit
In ancient day
s exceptional
w na per
v
era considered an advertisement an
evil but a nee evil and that t
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible so that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make a little money by inaertinx pub
lic announcements A paer run that
way today would fail
The most successf il exponents o
the new plan of doing business wii
ink and paper are using every
means to make the announcement
attractive and sought after by U
readers
It is safe to say that thousands f r
women read the newspaper not u n
telegraphic page but the pages con
taining announcements of bargains in
stockings skirts hats gloves pianos
furniture food for the table etc
