HINKING moulds the mind and exercise devel- ops the body, but food supplies the materials for building mind and body. Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and malted barley, is a crisp, delicious cereal food, rich ia wholesome nutriment. The important mineral ele= ments of the grains are readily available in this splendid food. The essential Vitamin-B is supe plied in generous measure. The nutritious starches of the wheat and barley are partially pre-digested by 20 hours’ baking. Grape-Nuts with milk or cream is a complete food. Its compact form makes a little go a long way.

(Prepared by the Uhited States Department of Agriculture.) The hatching results for the season of 1023 were very poor throughout most parts of the United States, There are doubtless a number of con- tributing causes and, according to Dr. M. A. Jull, in charge of poultry in- vestigutions of the United States De partment of Agriculture, one of the rauses of peor hatches has been the gse from year to yeur of pullets as breeders, In a general sense Il is apparent that the hatchabllity of eggs depends upon the constitutional vigor of the breeding stock producing the eggs. If the breeders are healthy and vigorous and are kept in comfortable quarters, then the eggs should hatch well, pro- viding the methods of incubation have | been satisfactory. Taking the coun- | try as a whole, however, Doctor Jull | believes that the hatehing results from are not as good Pullels as Dreeders.
