STRENGTH

Without Overloadlng The Stomach

Tho business man, especially, needs

food in the morning that will not over- load the stomach, but give mental vig- or for the day.

Much depends on the start a man

gets each day as to how he may expect to accomplish the work on hand.

He can’t be alert with a heavy, fried

meat-and-potatoes breakfast, requiring n lot of vital energy in digesting it.

_A Westem business man found it

food combination for producing ener-

5 gy. He writes:

- "For years I was unable to find it breakfast feud that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man with- out overloadln his stomac ca st

gi_v;,Tz breakfast altogether. But lucki y I was induced to try Grape- Nuts.

"Since that morning I have been a

new man; can work without tiring,

- my head is clear and my nerves strong

andqutet.

"I find that Grape-Nuts, with a little

sugar- and a small quantity of cold milk, 'makes a delicious morning meal. which invigoi-ales me for the

dogs business.”

This money has gone largely to

A twenty per cent. increase in- farm production will cover our interest payments and maintain the country"s credit. “I

This one answer to the question.

Why is it necessary that Canada at this particular time should increase the output of the farm?

most every country in Europe enjoy the advantages of rural credits. Simi- lar facilities are urgently needed here.

The need' of supplying the farrner

with information that will enable him to dlstrlbiite and market his products to the best advantage, is becoming more and more urgent. The Canadian _ Ministerr of Agriculture recently put ` the matterr in this form.

“it is xiot. therefore, only greater

production, but better production and cheapened production, more accurate knowledge of markets and better fuc- tlities for reaching them. All thes things are tied up together. and it i to these things that not only farmer

you, and needs you now.

The loyalty and patriotism of the

farmer has never been called into question. Ile has the opportunity he- fore him to give expression to his pat- riotism by helping to keep up the food supply of llritain and her Allies. There is it higher motive than that ot’ tho pocket merely, and it -should be n stronger one. '

At the same time the business as-

pect must be recognized. With u food shortage staring it in tho face. the world is ready to nbsorb at good prices nil we can produce.

The main object of the caimpnign is

lo niultc clczir the situation.

'l`hcro is no more reasonable liody

to dcul with than the farmers. Lay tim facts before them fully and clearly und they may be relied on to reacli n correct decision. »

There is no necessity for culling

upon the farmer to work harder or for longer hours. Neither is it advis- :tlile to dictate to him as to what ho should produce or how ho should proc- duce it. Tho individual farmer must decide for himself how best to meet the demand.

ed too, by agricultural journals, how can thc farmer increase the output. without putting more acres under cul- tivation ond employing more labor?

Thut production may to some ox-

tcnt be increased without it corres- ponding increase in labor- is clearly indicated. The best strains of seed will give longer yields than inferior kinds. A strain suited to-the soil and cliniatc and sown at the right time will give better returns than seed that is not Pure seed, plump seed, seed
