THE SIMPLE LIFE

Ways that Are Pleasant and Paths that Are Peace. It is the simple life that gives length of days, serenity of mind and body and tranquillity of soul. Simple hopes and ambitions, bounded by the desire to do good to one’s neighbors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Men die long before their time because they try to crowd,too much into their experiences—-they climb too high and fall too hard. A wise woman writes of the good that a simple diet has done her: ‘‘l have been using Grape-Nuts for about six months. I began rather sparingly, until I acquired such a liking for it that for the last three months I have depended upon it almost entirely for my diet, eating noth lug else whatever, but Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I believe I could eat it for dinner with fruit and be satisfied without other food, and feel much better and have more strength to do my housework. “When I began the use of GrapeNuts I was thin and weak, my muscles were so soft that I was not able to do any work. I weighed only 108 pounds. Nothing that I ate did me any good. I was going down hill rapidly, was nervous and miserable, with no ambition for anything. My condition improved rapidly after I began to eat Grape-Nuts food: It made me feel like a new woman; my muscles got solid, my figure rounded out, my weight increased to 120 pounds in a few weeks, my nerves grew steady and my mind better and clearer. My friends tell me they haven’t seen me look so well for years. “1 consider Grape-Nuts the best food on the market, and shall never go back to meats and white bread again."
