A School Boy Digs to Find Food to Build Him Right. A good, straightforward letter was recently sent by a bright, clever youth, which, shows his ability to go to the bottom of a trouble and rectify it. He says: "I attended High School for throe years, but made little progress. I did not enjoy good health; my food was-not properly digested; this caused headache "and hence I could not study. I triedi taking exercise in the football field, but was unable to stand it as it always! increased my headache.

"Durtna- the summer noimays 1 db-gan eating Grape-Nuts and the benefit was Immediate, the headache stopped, my food digested properly so that I had no? more stomach trouble, my general hialth improved, my weight increased and my brain was clear and "Thef result was that this summer I procured Junior Leaving and Junior Matriculation Standing. I also took my place on the- football team as halfback and played in all the games of 1901. "This wonderful increase in mental and physical health I' attribute to no other cause than the nourishment I got from Grape-Nuts. I recommend them to everybody who desires health. am only a boy of 17 years, but my weight is 148 pounds and this weight was procured solely by the use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Cereal.
