It Is believed that, It the-properties
of patchouli were more generally

It In the United States in preference
to moth balls. It should have aa much
vogue ae lavender for putting between

and If It were manufactured or

prove popular. Great quantities of It
grow wild In Porto Rico, and a demand
for It from the United States would

People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per-
sons with weak stomachs.
Sometime ago a young woman who
Uvea In Me. had an attack of scarlet
fever, and when convalescing was per-
mitted to eat anything she wanted.
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble;
“There I stayed,” ehe says, “three
months, with my stomach In such con-
dition that I could take only a few tea*
spoonfuls of milk or beef Juice at a
time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought
to my attention and 1 asked my dou-
tor it I might eat It. He said, ‘yes,’
and I commenced at once.
“The food did me good from the
■tart and I was soon out of bed and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. I
have gained ten pounde and am able
to do all household duties, some daye
sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. I can eat anything that
one ought to eat, but I still continue
to eat Grape-Nute at breakfast and

“Considering that I could stand only
a short time, and that a glass of water
seemed ‘so heavy,* I am fully satisfied
that Grapo-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
la due to It.
