He remarked that he believed Crane
Nuts, the famous food, was made in the

remarked that he had investigated Grape
Nuts carefully and found that the grain
from which 1t was made was prepared by
various processes of long soaking warmth

der the shell of wheat and barley is devel-
oped. This clement is called diastase and
its work is to change the starch of grains
into grape-sugar This same process is
gone through with in the human body
when any whole grain preparation is
used, such as rolled wheat or oats, or
entire wheat bread. But the trouble is
that so many people are weak In their
intestinal digestion and bread and starch
containing cereals are not properly dt-
gested. thus producing gas and bowel
complaints, often ending in appendicitis or
kindred difficulties. Grape-Nuts food being
pre-digested mechanically before going in

and easy assimilation and people of weak
digestion can thus obtain the full value
