"They were greatly overcrowded, especially iu the primary department of which I had charge, and. I had been doing the work of two teachers.

The strain was too much, for my nerves and two years ago the cruas came. I was prostrated mentally and physically, sent in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work. It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth. I was tortured by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to" sleep, and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk.

Williams' Pink Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, restored my appetite, gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ailments.

"Look here, waiter, honest 'now, don't you dip every one of these flaked breakfast foods out of the same box?" "Well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like the others and people know 'zackly what Grape-Nuts looks like. But there's 'bout a dozen different oneE named on the bill of fare and they are all thin rolled flakes so it don't make any difference which one a man calls for, we just take out the order from one box." This talk led to an Investigation.

Dozens factories sprung up about three years ago, making various kinds of breakfast foods, seeking to take the business of the original prepared breakfast food Grape-Nuts. These concerns after a precarious existence, nearly all failed, leaving thousands of boxes of their foods in mills and warehouses. These were "in several in stances bought up for a song by speculators ana sold out to grocers and hotels for little' or nothing. The proc ess of working oft this old stock has been slow. One will ee the names on' menus of flaked foods that went out of business a year and a half or two years ago.

In a few cases where the abandoned factories have been bought up, there is an effort to resuscitate the defunct, and by copying the style of advertising of Grape-Nuts, seek to influence people, to But the public has been educated to the fact that all these thin flaked foods are simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin and dried out and packed. They are not prepared like Grape-Nuts, in which the thorough baking and other operations which turn the starch part of the wheat and barley Into sugar, oceupy many hours and result in a food so digestible that small Infants thrive oh it, while It also contains the selected elements cf Phosphate" of Potash' and Albumen that unite in die body to produce the soft gray substance in brala aDd nerve centers. There's a reason for Grape-Nuts, and there have been many imi-. tations, a few.if the article itself, bur many more of the kind and character of the advertising. Imitators are- always counterfeiters and their printed and written statements -'-acnot be expected to be different than their goods.
