Illustrating the Effect of Food.
The remarkable adaptability ' of
Grape -Nuts food to stoma,chs'so dis-

case of a woman in Racine, Wis.
"Two years ago ” she says "I
was attacked by a stomach trouble
ego serious that for a long time I
could not take much of any sort •of
food.' Even the various -kinds pre-
scribed'by the doctor produced most
acute pain.
"We then got some Grape -Nuts
food, and you can imagine nip sur-
prise and delight when I found
'that l ,could eat it with a relish a:ad'
without the slightest distress.
"When the doctorheard of it be
told me to take several small por-
tions each day; because he feared I
wolfs grow tired of it as I had of

"But to his surprise,, (and that of
everybody else), I did not 'tire of

After the investor has gads fled. 'amino'
as to the safety of a pubiie altility o
fuzing there are several other points
he considered. In passing. however, i
might be noted that if the 191,,80 is a new

of the information must be taken for
granted; but if the security is one which
sells freely on the exchanges, such as llolI
Telephone, Flectrieal Developments, Mai -
fax Tra,nways, Montreal Street Railway
or Winnipeg Street Railway bonds, the
market adjusts the price, as a rule, to
meet any weaknesses or alterations in
the position of the companies. It might
be mentioned inpassing that none of the
bonds mentioned sell below—in fact they
are all quoted above -par;
After safety comes, of course, rate of
income. As a,rule, the street railway and
other public utility bonds sell to yield a
somewhat lower return than good indus-
trial bonds. They return, however, more
than the average munieitial or railway
bond—excepting equipment bonds.
The convertibility of a public utility
bond varies considerably. In Canada,
however, the better class of these, i.e.,
those based on utilities in - large and
growing cities, are most popular and,

They do not, however,. possess : much
prospect of appreoiating in value tiniest
they are more ,speculative than the av-
erage investor desires.` Of conese, any
sound 5 per cent. public utility bond sold
around par, if very well secured, is like-
ly to advance from two to flue points; but
unless they aro convertible into stock at
the option of the holder -they do not
stand the same chance b£ appreciating in
value that a sound industrial bond often
shows.
