He started a good pudding-
proof, but be didn't finish it.
There's a lot of trouble in
the world from puddings that
taste good but don’t do good.
They “eat" well, but that

Sanitariums are fu3 of pud-
ding -eaters who stopped thetestat
taste and forgot to inquire whether

needed—until the body rebelled.
Grape-Nuts is a food that
tastes good and does good. The

[J eating and goes on through the
splendid service which Grape-
I Nuts renders as a real rood.

ness of wheat arid malted barley

SAVE CORN FOR EXTRA SEED
Evcellent Plan to Select Enough to
Serve for Two or Three Yean*’ j
Planting*.
When corn Is .selected from thp field
for seed, the United States Ileparlmenl
of Agriculture urges that enough seed
be selected to serve fur two er three
years’ plantings This Is essential In
the orlfcimitlou and perpetuation of
high yielding varieties adapted to local
coridltlou*. Seed corn that matures
well and dries out promptly without
Injury will keep its gixid germinating
and yielding power for four nr five
year*. Often a bad season sill pre-
vet,t the selection of desirable corn for
seed. But home-grown seed corn of
the best quality can be always avail-
able by protecting a auffietent quantity
from moitrtar* and from Inaecta and
'Otter *ototals.
