WASHINGTON. Dec 9 The egg
corner has been broken, and boycotts
may be declared off.
This was the good news sent, out
to-day by the I>epartment of Agri
culture “egg specialists,” Lvho an
nounced that pullets on the Govern
ment farm as well «s throughout the
country "have at last begun to lay,”
and already many poultry owners are
reporting a 50 per cent egg produc
tion.
The reduction in the price of eggs
recently is due to the industry of
the pullets, according to the Gov
ernment specialists, and not to the
boycott. This new supply of fresh
eggs now beginning to reach the mar
ket “necessarily has reacted on the
prices at which storage eggs have
been held,” says the report.

But mental activity is dependent for its success-making'
results, upon the way both body and brain cells are fed.
Right feeding isn’t a matter of quantity—most persons
actually eat too much. But the selection of the right kind
of food helps wonderfully to make men and women active
and successful.
The fact is, some every day articles of food are so lack
ing in certain food values as to make their common use more
or less a menace to physical and mental well-being. (Consti
pation and a run down physical condition are readily traced
to this lack.)
Particularly is this true of food made from white flour,
which is robbed of most of the mineral phosphates of thei
grain when the bran-coat is thrown out in the milling-
process. Scientists have long recognized this menace to
health, and many people are waking up to it.
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
made from the whole wheat and malted barley, retains the
mineral phosphates, as well as all other nutritive values of
the grains. Grape Nuts, as the cereal part of one's diet, per
fectly supplies what white flour foods lack.
Grape-Nuts is long baked, most easily
digested, and is ready-to-eat direct from
the package—fresh, crisp and delicious.
“There’s a Reason” for Grape-Nuts
