VICTOR A. HERMANN. FOOD FACTS. WHAT AN M.D. LEAR A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which he makes public: “Tt was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and Lalso know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion, and sick patients always gain just as I did in strength and weight very rapidly. **T was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this State; but two) months there did not improve me. In fact, I was not quite as well as when I left home. became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and in 8 I could walk a mile without home and practice, taking up hard work again.

Summer tourist fares to the coast Ro into effect on May 20th, and the new | service is designed to cater to the tour- ist travel, which promises to be very heavy this season on account of the | Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Se- attle, the Rose Festival at Portland, the National Irrigation Congress at Spokane, the many attractions of Tacoma, and the Puget Sound region, coupled with numerous conventions to be held on the Pacific coast during the summer. The Northern Pacific is planning to equip itself to handle its large share of this transcontinental traffic. There will be three daily, through, electric-lighted, steam-heated, solid- vestibuled trains between St. Paul- Minneapolis and North Pacific coast points. These trains will provide stand- ard and drawing room sleeping cars, commodious, leather-upholstered, tourist sleeping cars, buffet-library-observation cars, new and thoroughly modern day coaches, and exceptionally high-grade dining car service—A la carte. To equip these trains, brand-new cars of various patterns have been ordered, and many of them are already being re- ceived from the builders.
