When Health is Wrong
The Pay is Short
Getting ahead in this world calls for mental and
physical forces kept upbuilt and in trim.
Often the food one eats "makes" or "breaks" it
depends upon the kind of food. In many cases the
daily dietary lacks certain essential elements for keep-
ing brain and body at their best.
Over 1 8 years ago a food was perfected to offset
this lack
Grape-Nuts
and it has stood the test of the years.
Made of whole wheat and malted barley this
famous pure food supplies all the nutriment of the
grains including their mineral salts Phosphate of
Potash etc. necessary for building brain nerve and
muscle.
Grape-Nuts has a delicious nut-like flavour; is
always ready to eat fresh and crisp from the package;
so thoroughly baked it is partially predigested.
Thousands "on the job" every day know
"There's a Reason" for
Grape-Nuts
old by Grocer everywhere.

The oft-thrcaleneil return of the
crinoline piophcsWd by alarmists of
fashion leaves us all wondering. Wo
find that the crinoline was first worn
lu thu sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess who used It to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According lo pictures of Queen Kllzn-
both sho was the first to wear it in
Kuglnud a writer lu tho St. 1-oa.is

IMPORTANT PART OF HOUSE
Wise Builder Will Always Provide for
Porch That li Comfortable In
All Weather.
A rase before tho city building com-
missioner for decision hinges on the
question whether u porch Is part of u
house. It is n technical point the
olllclnl is to decide ln"-)lvliig nn In-
terpretation of tho municipal building
codo. Technicalities oslde however
tho iiuestlon almost answers Itself
of course n porch Is part of a house
says tho CIe eland Plain Dealer. In
tho modern house It Is likely to be
nbout tho most Important part for nix
or seven months of tho year.
Some day u monument i.my be erect-
ed to Mm memory of tho person who
first suggested the porch if nuyono Is
able to fix bis Identity More probably
nn Investigator would llud Mint the
porch Is a result of evolution llko a
modern locomotive or an automobile
for which no Individual could clulm
credit. Tho "stoop" of our grand
fathers like the wheezy "InJIno" of
pioneer days has been exalted to u
position of high service and respect.
Purl of n house? Ask an architect
or n contractor. 'I'i modern man
who plans a comfurtahln rosldeticu
himself designs tho kind of porch he
deems suitable to Ills comfort and
dignity and when that Is dono gives
secondary thought to tho rest of the
house. The parch must bo big enough
to entertain on big enough to eat
on lu seaBonnblo weather; it must
bo screened for protection against in
sect pests. If ono wishes for comfort
ilci luxo bo may give his porcli a lire
place and defy tool evenings to drive
him insldo.
Tho sleeping porch too has edged
Its way Into our Foclal consciousness
In these latter days. It ulso is a big
part of tho house. Doctors prescribe
and children cry for It.
Statistics indicate n general lower
ing death rate among Americans rural
and tit bun Ono wonders whether the
1 sdvent of the ubiquitous porcli has
i hail an appreciable liiliuenco In brl g
lug nbout this result Tho gospel ol
' f:-hb air owes some acknowledgment
I to this part of the houso which lures
men women and children out of stuffy
rooms and tills their lungs with fresh
air 'I ho porch known no social casto;
It is not n itch man's privilege alone.
