VALUE OF CREAM
Az Compared With Meat.

One of the most valuable items in ones
dietary Is good, rich cream. The remark
Is frequently made that cream is too ex-
pensive to use freely" Such people think
they must have meat every day at 10 and
. cents per pound, and do not realize that
cents worth of pure cream for breakfast
will do more to put on flesh than % or 30
cents worth of meat
An IDEAL portion OF breakfast is that OBJ
tanned from say. four teaspoons of Crane
Nuts and little. pure. thick cream.
Made by the Postum Co., at Battle
Creek. Mich.
This is one Of the most delicious dishes
imaginable and is served without cooking
or trouble OF any kind and cannot he
equaied in point OF food value for the
human body.
The Grape-Nuts, consisting largely of
grape-sugar, have passed through pro-
cesses similar tolthe first act of digestion
and are therefore most easily djgested ann
in combination with cream they render
the cream itself easy of digestion.
Grocers sell Gfape-Nuts.
