is divided. In this case we are told that Mrs. Sidgwick furnishes the feminine and love element and Mr. Garstin the roughand-ready picture of Western camp life. Mr. Garstin's life has abounded in adventure and unusual experiences, as is stated in a really interesting note from the publisher. Life on the great wheat ranch, in lumber camps, and in other more conventional scenes is described with vigor, knowledge, and a certain robust sense of fun. The book holds the attention firmly.

Egan. By Holworthy Hall. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York.

With one exception, we believe, this is the first serious attempt at a novel (as distinguished from a number of short stories on one general topic connected by a slight thread) which this author has attempted. His short stories have had a deservedly wide reading because they have humor and deal lightly and pleasantly with modern society and modern sport. The present story is worthy of praise also, especially for the consistency and humanness of young Egan, a returned officer eager to make good in business life, who finds that while he has been away his business future and his love affairs have both gone to smash. Young Egan is bumptious, obstinate, but vigorous and full of energy and determination. He has a big scheme to introduce aircraft into commercial business. Perhaps the financial and business sides of the book are a little too much to the front, but, as a whole, the novel keeps the reader's attention on the alert, and it includes some exceedingly good character depiction.

Gateless Barrier (The). By Lucas Malet. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York.

This story by "Lucas Malet " (Mrs. Harrison) has attained the honor of a new edition, undoubtedly because of the present interest in psychic mattters. Twenty years ago (that is, in the issue of The Outlook for September 22, 1900) we reviewed this. story as follows: "The heroine is a ghost, inhabiting a luxurious apartment in the country house of an English gentleman. The hero is heir to the estate-an American, married, and blasé. He forms a pleasant friendship with the ghost, who takes him for his own grandfather, to whom she was affianced before the battle of Trafalgar, where the grandfather was killed. The reader finds his sense of chronology rather violently strained, but he enjoys the literary quality of the book, and finds several of the characters interesting." New Robinson Crusoe (A). By Gilson Gardner. Harcourt, Brace & Howe, New York.

We leave the reader to decide whether he is to take literally the sober statement of the preface that this version of "Robinson Crusoe" is from an original text written by Defoe and Alexander Selkirk, the prototype of Robinson Crusoe. It seems that after Selkirk returned from his adventures, and before the book as we know it was written, Defoe and Selkirk collaborated in a manuscript which in part follows the lines of the book we know and in part deals with the principles of political and social economy suggested by Robinson's island life. This manuscript came down to our time through descendants of Selkirk. It was discarded by the joint authors (so it is declared) because the doctrines suggested were thought to be dangerous politically. If all this is a literary hoax, it is a clever one. At any rate, the "New

Robinson Crusoe" is interesting as an economic tract. It has in it the seeds of mild Socialism.

BIOGRAPHY

Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield (The). By George Earle Buckle, in Succession to W. F. Monypenny. Vol. V1868-1876; Vol. VI-1876-1881. The Macmillan Company, New York.

These two volumes complete the fascinating biography of Disraeli which Mr. W. F. Monypenny did not live to complete. Disraeli was one of England's great statesmen, and perhaps her greatest politician. He had a mind at once acute and alert, but more keen to see present conditions and immediate expediences than powerful to grasp great principles. Mystery, as Mr. Monypenny says, was of the essence of the man, yet he proceeds to throw some light upon that mystery by describing Disraeli as possessing at once a strong will and a vital imagination. He would have been a famous novelist if his political fame had not dimmed his fame as an author. The time included in these two volumes, 1868-81, covers critical period in English development in which he took so large a part as a political leader. This biography, too large for most American readers, will nevertheless be a necessity in every library, public or private, which aims to possess in completeness any dealing with the history of Europe during the nineteenth century. Theodore Roosevelt. By Edmund Lester Pear

son. Illustrated. The Macmillan Company, New York.

Mr. Pearson, who is not only an essayist but a writer of capital boys' stories, such as "The Voyage of the Hoppergrass," has taken pains to give boys in this book a clear view of Theodore Roosevelt's character as well as of his personality. He has made excellent use of the new material about Mr. Roosevelt which has been available since his death, and has brought out with skill and judgment the simplicity and singleness of Mr. Roosevelt's Americanism. Both the private and public sides of Mr. Roosevelt's life are presented, and in good proportion and perspective, indeed quite remarkably so, considering the small size of this volume.

Tour Through Indiana in 1840 (A). (The Diary of John Parsons of Petersburg, Va.) Illustrated. Edited by Kate Milner Rabb. Robert M. McBride & Co., New York. Apparently based upon a slender diary that has been skillfully expanded by the author, this book breathes the very spirit of the young West. It is a flowing and human story that takes one into the heart of the time it describes. The tender romance that developed as the result of young Parsons's journey is delicately told and holds the reader like a novel.

TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION

Book of the Severn (A). By A. G. Bradley. Illustrated. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York. The river Severn flows through charming, placid English and Welsh countryside, passing historic castles, beautiful landscapes, and scenes of romance and battle of long ago. The author tells the story in ample detail and with full knowledge. The sixteen illustrations in color by R. H. Buxton reproduce pleasantly the native charm of the Severn and its banks.

Cape Cod and the Old Colony. By Albert Perry Brigham. Illustrations. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.

Professor Brigham has made a real contribution to what seemed in danger of

becoming an overwritten subject. The physical constitution of the famous Cape is described interestingly and at length and tied with literary skill and abundant knowledge to the human elements that have come to its development and that are to mold its future.

Old New England Houses. By Albert G. Robinson. Illustrated. Charles Scribner's

Sons, New York.

Readers who could ask for more pages either of text or illustration than are given in this beautiful book may fairly be open to the charge of avarice, but many will probably confess their guilt. The pleasant descriptive matter seems all too short; the generous amount of space given to plates whets the appetite for more. This will make an admirable gift book both to book lovers and admirers of Colonial houses.

WAR BOOKS

United States in the World War (The). By John Bach McMaster. D. Appleton & Co., New York.

This second volume of Professor McMaster's work covers the whole period of the fighting of the American troops in France, and concludes the history, the first volume having told the narrative from the date of our entering the World War up to April, 1918. As a rule Professor McMaster writes history, not argument, and his book is not given to vaingloriousness or boasting. The treatment of the Peace Conference, the signing of the Treaty in Paris, and its rejection by the United States, is full. The various appendices are valuable.

Wings of War. By Theodore Macfarlane Knappen. Introduction by Rear-Admiral D. W. Taylor. Illustrated. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York.

A history of America's contribution to aircraft production during the World War. The author thinks that, on the whole, our aircraft achievements deserve to rank with any of those of our "second line of defense." His book, in its account of our attempt to create a great fighting force out of inexperience and confusion, conveys a stinging lesson for the future.

MISCELLANEOUS

Post Mortem Opinions. By Theodore Roosevelt. The American Metaphysical Association, Sioux City, Iowa.

Despite the shortage in white paper, the American Metaphysical Association, of Sioux City, Iowa, has published this volume of "Post Mortem Opinions of Theodore Roosevelt." Of the authenticity of this volume the publishers say "the large number of subjects dealt with and the unique manner in which they are handled is the best proof." We are inclined to add the words of the credulity of mankind." As an example of the character of this volume we may quote Theodore Roosevelt's present opinion of President Wilson:

No more honest or higher principled man ever sat in the Presidential chair than he who occupies it now. He is a great student, and as such is not given to voicing his opinions or airing his plans to the public eye until he is ready for their consummation, and it is this trait, while commendable in many ways, that causes people of America more used to airing their opinions to misunderstand him and his motives. But, on the other hand, they are beginning to see his true worth.

We are reminded very vividly of the woman who was shown a spirit photograph of her late husband. "Well, well,' said, "how George has changed!"

How We Become Shell-Shocked in Every-Day Life

HERE is but one malady more terrible than Nerve Exhaustion, and that is its kin, Insanity. Only those who have passed through a siege of Nerve Exhaustion can understand the true meaning of this statement. It is HELL; no other word can express it. At first, the victim is afraid he will die, and as it grips him deeper, he is afraid he will not die; so great is his mental torture. He becomes panicstricken and irresolute. A sickening sensation of weakness and helplessness overcomes him. He becomes obsessed with the thought of self-destruction.

Nerve Exhaustion means Nerve Bankruptcy. The wonderful organ we term the Nervous System consists of countless millions of cells. These cells are reservoirs which store a mysterious energy we term Nerve Force. The amount stored represents our Nerve Capital. Every organ works with all its might to keep the supply of Nerve Force in these cells at a high level, for Life itself depends more upon Nerve Force than on the food we eat or even the air we breathe.

If we unduly tax the nerves through overwork, worry, excitement, or grief, or if we subject the muscular system to excessive strain, we consume more Nerve Force than the organs produce, and the natural result must be Nerve Exhaustion.

Nerve Exhaustion is not a malady that comes suddenly. It may be years in developing and the decline is accompanied by unmistakable symptoms, which, unfortu nately, cannot readily be recognized. The average person thinks that when his hands do not tremble and his muscles do not twitch, he cannot possibly be nervous. This is a dangerous assumption, for people with hands as solid as a rock and who appear to be in perfect health may be dangerously near Nerve Collapse.

One of the first symptoms of Nerve Exhaustion is the derangement of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the nerve branch which governs the vital organs (see diagram). In other words, the vital organs become sluggish because of insufficient supply of Nerve Energy. This is manifested by a cycle of weaknesses and disturbances in digestion, constipation, poor blood circulation and general muscular lassitude usually being the first to be noticed.

I have for more than thirty years studied the health problem from every angle. My investigations and deductions always brought me back to the immutable truth that Nerve Derangement and Nerve Weakness is the basic cause of nearly every bodily ailment, pain or disorder. I agree with the noted British authority on the nerves, Alfred T. Schofield, M.D., the author of numerous works on the subject, who says: "It is my belief that the greatest single factor in the maintenance of health is that the nerves be in order."

The great war has taught us how frail the nervous system is, and how sensitive it is to strain, especially mental and emotional strain. Shell Shock, it was proved, does not injure the nerve fibres in themselves. The effect is entirely mental. Thousands lost their reason thereby, over 135 cases from New York alone being in asylums for the insane. Many more thousands became nervous wrecks. The strongest men became paralyzed so that they could not stand, eat or even speak. One-third of all the hospital cases were "nerve cases," all due to excessive strain of the Sympathetic Nervous System.

The mile-a-minute life of to-day, with its worry, hurry, grief and mental tension is exactly the same as Shell Shock, except that the shock is less forcible, but more prolonged, and in the end just as disastrous. Our crowded insane asylums bear witness to the truth of this statement. Nine people out of ten you meet have "frazzled nerves."

Perhaps you have chased from doctor to doctor seeking relief for a mysterious "something the matter with you.' Each doctor tells you that there is nothing the matter with you; that every organ is perfect. But you know there is something the matter. You feel it, and you act it. You are tired, dizzy, cannot sleep, cannot digest your food and you have pains here and there. You are told you are "run down" and need a rest. Or the doctor may give you a tonic. Leave nerve tonics alone. It is like making a tired horse run by towing him behind an automobile.

The Sympathetic Nervous System Showing how Every Vital Organ is governed by the Nervous System, and how the Solar Plexus, commonly known as the Abdominal Brain, is the Great Central Station for the distribution of Nerve Force.

Our Health, Happiness and Success in life demands that we face these facts understandingly. I have written a 64-page book on this subject which teaches how to protect the nerves from every day Shell Shock. It teaches how to soothe, calm and care for the nerves; how to nourish them through proper breathing and other means. The cost of the book is only 25 cents. Bound in cloth, 50 cents. Remit in coin or stamps. See address at the bottom of page. If the book does not meet your fullest expectations, your money will be refunded, plus your outlay of postage.

The book "Nerve Force" solves the problem for you and will enable you to diagnose your troubles understandingly. The facts presented will prove a revelation to you, and the advice given will be of incalculable value to you.

with your nerves or not. Your nerves are the most precious possession you have. Through them you experience all that makes life worth living, for to be dull nerved means to be dull brained, insensible to the higher phases of life-love, moral courage, ambition and temperament. The finer your brain is, the finer and more delicate is your nervous system, and the more imperative it is that you care for your nerves. The book is especially important to those who have "high strung nerves and those who must tax their nerves to the limit.

The following are extracts from letters from people who have read the book and were greatly benefited by the teachings set forth therein:

"I have gained 12 pounds since reading your book, and I feel so energetic. I had about given up hope of ever finding the cause of my low weight."

"I have been treated by a number of nerve specialists, and have traveled from country to country in an endeavor to restore my nerves to normal. Your little book has done more for me than all other methods combined."

"Your book did more for me for indigestion than two courses in dieting."

"My heart is now regular again and my nerves are fine. I thought I had heart trouble, but it was simply a case of abused nerves. I have reread your book at least ten times."

A woman writes: "Your book has helped my nerves wonderfully. I am sleeping so well and in the morning I feel so rested.'

"The advice given in your book on relaxation and calming of nerves has cleared my brain. Before I was half dizzy all the time."

A physician says: "Your book shows you have a scientific and profound knowledge of the nerves and nervous people. I am recommending your book to my patients."

A prominent lawyer in Ansonia, Conn., says: "Your book saved me from a nervous collapse, such as I had three years ago. I now sleep soundly and am gaining weight. I can again do a real day's work."

The Prevention of Colds

Of the various books, pamphlets and treatises which I have written on the subject of health and efficiency, none has attracted more favorable comment than my sixteenpage booklet entitled, "The Prevention of Colds."

There is no human being absolutely immune to Colds. However, people who breathe correctly and deeply are not easily susceptible to Colds. This is clearly explained in my book NERVE FORCE. Other important factors, nevertheless, play an important part in the prevention of Colds-factors that concern the matter of ventilation, clothing, humidity, temperature, etc. These factors are fully discussed in the booklet Prevention of Colds.

No ailment is of greater danger than an "ordinary cold," as it may lead to Influenza, Grippe, Pneumonia or Tuberculosis. More deaths resulted during the recent “Flu ” epidemic than were killed during the entire war, over 6,000,000 people dying in India alone.

A copy of the booklet Prevention of Colds will be sent Free with either the 25c or 50c book NERVE FORCE. You will agree that this alone is worth many times the price asked for both books. Adress:

N two separate places in this issue the Wall Street explosion is commented upon by the editors of The Outlook. What, in your opinion, is the danger of talking 'red' and seeing 'red'" without discrimination? Give several reasons why every one should be very careful about making public charges and denunciations.

Is the United States a country in which social and industrial wrongs can be righted without recourse to violence and physical destruction? Explain your answer.

Would it be right for our Government to drive the "Reds out of America? If you think not, what should be done with them?

What are the leading beliefs of the "Reds"? Why do they hold to such beliefs?

Do you draw any distinction between Socialists, Anarchists, and Bolshevists? Should you?

One writer says that the system under which we work is based upon "private property, competition, individual effort, individual responsibility, and individual choice." Can think of you better system under which to work? What is your definition for by-product, illicit, maim, outrage, crime?

American citizens could scarcely use some of their time better than by reading the following books: "The Case for Capitalism," by H. Withers (Dutton); "Real Democracy in Operation," by Felix Bonjour (Stokes); "The Psychology of Bolshevism," by by John Spargo (Harpers); "Socialism in Thought and Action," by H. W. Laidler (Macmillan); "Syndicalism, Industrialism, Unionism, and the I. W. W.," by D. Bloomfield (H. W. Wilson Company).

American Ships for American Goods

Would you like to engage in carrying American goods to foreign ports and foreign goods to American ports? If so, why?

you

Did know that just before the war only nine per cent of American exports and imports were carried in American vessels? And yet did you know that a century ago America did carry most of her own goods in her own ships? What reasons can you give for this decline?

Would not you, as an American citizen, feel proud if we were to return to our former fine record? How can we do so?

Under the title "American Ships for American Goods" it is reported that the law recently passed provides three methods for stimulating the carrying of those goods. Do you approve of that? Should American ships be owned by American citizens or by the Government?

In order to put the new shipping law through we have got to denounce twentynine treaties. Did you know that denunciation of treaties is being constantly under

In making shipping laws, to what extent should our country consider foreign opinion?

What is your definition for "Deadweight tons, preferential rights, discriminatory provisions, abrogate?

Two valuable books on this topic are "The Story of Our Merchant Marine," by W. J. Abbot (Dodd, Mead); "The New Merchant Marine," by E. N. Hurley (Century).

Painless Taxation

It is generally believed that taxation is absolutely essential to any sound system of government. Mr. Price tells us that it is human nature to evade taxation. If a person tries to evade paying taxes, is he an Anarchist?

What does it mean to have taxes passed on to the public? Is it right that they should be? Can you think of any system of taxation in which they cannot be passed on to the public?

If a rich man is made to hand over a certain per cent of his income for taxes, should a poor man be made to hand over a similar per cent of his income for the same purpose? Should taxation be a question of percentage?

Mr. Price says on page 190 that "it is not so much the amount of the taxes that we pay as the methods by which they are collected that makes us feel uncomfortable." Does he say anything in proof of this? Is it so? Illustrate your answer if you can.

What is Mr. Price's suggestion as to "painless taxation"? Is it practicable? Is it any better than our present system?

What are the characteristics of a good tax system?

Has Mr. Price given you information in this article that you did not have? If s

what?

So,

Are there any restrictions in the power of Congress and the States in levying taxes?

How do you define the following terms? Excess profits tax, surtaxes, confiscatory abatement, impeccable, pro rata, bonus, prescience.

You will find food for thought on this and on several other topics equally important in the following books: "Economics for the General Reader," by Henry Clay (Macmillan); "American Problems in Reconstruction," by E. M. Friedman (Dutton); "Money and Prices," by J. L. Laughlin (Scribners).

An Accounting with the Steward

What are the principles, the distinctive tenets, and the tendency of the Republican, the Democratic, and the Socialist parties in America?

If you disagree with any of the statements found in this editorial, what are your reasons for doing so?

Have you yet made up your mind for which Presidential candidate you expect to vote on the second of November next? If so, do you object to telling why?

What is your opinion of the individual who wishes to keep secret how he intends to vote?

BY THE WAY Will Carleton's famous poem, "Over the Hill to the Poorhouse," is, it is announced, to be presented in the movies, with an elaborate setting and a strong cast. Five months' work is said to have been put on the films. Another poem complimented in this way last year was Riley's "Little Orphant Annie.”

From "Hvepsen," of Christiania, Norway: The Automobile Peril.- Despondent Pessimist" My bills are protested, my wife has left me, my landlord has given me notice to vacate my house, my cash-box is empty. There is nothing left to live for, and I may as well end my existence. I am resolved-I will go for a walk in the city!"

A recent article discusses "The Best Sellers of Long Ago." It mentions among these "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "The Lamplighter," but strangely enough fails to include "The Wide, Wide World," which probably holds second place among the popular novels of a generation ago. "Pickwick Papers," too, should be included in such a list, and possibly "Vanity Fair." The American taste for fiction in the old days was to a certain extent met

by the pabulum furnished by the "Seaside Library," and, on another level, by Robert Bonner's "Ledger" and the "New York Weekly," which had an enormous circulation and were in a way the "best sellers" of the time. Beadle's "Dime Novels," in yellow paper covers, should not be forgotten in making such a list.

A dog of "no particular value" sometimes entwines itself in the owner's affection. Such a one is the subject of eleven lines of description and encomium in a New York paper under the "lost" heading. A serio-comic note in this advertisement that is perhaps worth quoting is the laconic statement with which it closes : 'Baby in convulsions over loss." That appeal ought to bring results.

Americans sometimes think the English deficient in humor, but even an English society woman can rise to the occasion, as witness the following dialogue quoted in the "Atlantic :"

First Lady-" Do you mean to say you like living in America ?"

Ruth [the American]-" Yes, very much." First Lady-" But do you not have a great deal of lynching there ?"

Ruth (confusedly)-"I am sorry to say we do have a good deal."

Second Lady-" What is lynching ?"

First Lady-" Why, if a man is unpopular in a community, the leading people drag him away to a convenient tree and hang him. Sometimes they burn him. Shocking, is it not ?"

Second Lady-"It would be shocking as a regular thing, but I confess it seems to me a most admirable custom for certain occasions, and I should be glad if it were brought over with other American inventions that we have found so convenient.

In the old days when highwaymen flourished on important roads, prudent travelers carried a dummy purse which they threw out of the carriage as a sop for the robbers while they whipped up their horses and drove off. Some such scheme with modern improvements might be useful in these times when hold-ups are told of in every newspaper. A dummy mail

pouch, for instance, might have saved a hundred thousand dollars which went to thieves who grabbed a registered mail-sack from two boys who were in the act of placing it in a cart for transfer to a mail wagon in Chicago the other day. And in New York a man was relieved of a wallet containing a ten-thousand-dollar bill, seven thousand-dollar bills, and other valuables. He might just as well have given the holdup men a pocketbook containing green slips of paper, while keeping the real stuff crumpled up in his vest pocket. Ten-thousand-dollar bills are worth camouflaging!

A much-prized historical relic that now belongs to the State of South Dakota is to be used in a pageant at Sioux Falls this month, a subscriber writes. This is the socalled "Verendrye Plate," which is said to have formed the basis of France's claim to the Northwestern region. It was placed near Fort Pierre on March 30, 1743, by the Verendrye brothers, explorers, and for many years was lost. On February 17, 1913, a party of school-children found the plate, and it was acquired by the State for $700. It bears the inscription: "Placed by the Chevalier de la Verendrye. . . 30 March, 1743."

A friend of The Outlook's flivvering through the Scottish Highlands sends us this poem found posted in a little fishing hotel:

Sometimes ower early
Sometimes ower late
Sometimes nae water
Sometimes a spate
Sometimes ower cold
Sometimes ower clear

There's aye something wrang
When I'm fishing here!

Evidently Salmo truttu of the Highlands is as temperamental as Salvelinus fontinalis

of our American streams.

Specimens of "topsy-turvy pronunciation:"

"A colored brother was responsible for this: Dr. Spinks said John died from dishere final come an' get us'-meaning spinal meningitis."

"A young lady working on army personnel records asked, 'What is this autointoxication that so many of the army chauffeurs seem to have?'

"A neighbor told us of his intention to plant alfalfa, adding that he should 'osculate' the soil."

"My laundress, whose husband died away from home, said to me: 'Now I must earn money enough to bring Dave's remnants home." "

The words "since Nordenskiold "should have been added to a caption printed under the picture of Captain Amundsen in The Outlook of September 8, which read: "Amundsen sailed from Norway in 1913 ... being the first explorer, it is said, to cross the waters north of Europe and Asia [since Nordenskiold]."

Baron Nordenskiold's famous voyage was made in 1878-'80. It is pleasant to remember that the noted Norwegian generously gave credit to an Englishman, Captain Joseph Wiggins, who explored the northern waters in 1874-6, as a pioneer in demonstrating the practicability of trade relations by sea between Europe and Siberia. Nordenskiold characterized one of Wiggins's voyages as an "event rivaling in importance the return of the first fleet loaded with merchandise from India."

Man mills away in wheat vital elements of life

Largely to this waste we can

now trace the fact that one-third of America
is undernourished

O

NE in every three of us-rich and poor alike-suffers from malnutrition, authorities say.

Not in Russia, in Austria, in Armenia, but here in America, the world's greatest food producing nation!

You hear, every day, complaints of "that tired feeling." You see your friends developing "nerves," weakening under the strain of our modern life.

Why? Those who study these things say the underlying cause in most cases is malnutrition - lack of the right kind of food. Though you eat enough food, the chances are one in three that you or your family do not get enough of certain food elements.

Elements the body needs

to every cell. The calcium, predominant element in every bone. The phosphorus, which the brain and nerves must have. Elements these and others absolutely essential to health and growth.

Only in the whole wheat grain can all of them be secured.

A sixteen-vital-elements food

The sixteen vital elements of nutrition Oxygen Nitrogen Hydrogen Carbon

Sodium

Chlorin

Fluorin

Silicon

Sulphur Manganese Magnesium Potassium Phosphorus Iron Iodine

Calcium

In the whole wheat kernel all of these elements are found. But man mills away most of the last twelve of them in the outer six layers of the grain.

"He has suffered both stomach and intestinal congestion just to the extent that his refining process has been carried on, says one authority. And another says of these wasted elements: "Much ill-health and malnutrition come from their insufficiency."

The body is composed of water and sixteen vital chemical and mineral elements. To attain its fullest development, to maintain its health and normal functions it must be supplied with food containing all these elements.

In the whole wheat grain Nature offers us these sixteen vital food elements in more nearly the proper proportion than in any other food, save possibly milk.

But, in the modern preparation of wheat, many of these elements are largely lost through the removal of the six outer layers of the grain, commonly called the bran. The iron, which makes that part of the blood which carries life-giving oxygen

There is a food of delightful flavor, which comes to you undiminished in its nutritive values - Pettijohn's-whole wheat crushed and toasted.

Its natural nut-like sweetness, brought out full in the toasting, appeals to old and young alike.

Served with cream and a bit of sugar if you wish, it makes a vital energy ration of surprising deliciousness.

If you have a child who is not so rosy-cheeked and active as he should be-give him Pettijohn's.

If you yourself are feeling below par in energy and vim-try Pettijohn's.

If you suffer from congestion of the intestinal tract, give this food with its natural bran laxative a chance to set you right.

Make tomorrow's breakfast of Pettijohn's, the sixteen-vital-elements food. Your grocer has it-or will gladly get it for you.
