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.

The Ozias National Selling Corporation 605-607 Empire Life Building Phone Ivy 8239 Head-Work Wins 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 Said by grocers everywhere.
