TWO STOMACHS,
THE UPPER FOR THE PROTFIDS
AND THE LOWER FOR THE
GREATER PART OF THE FOOD.

1t is an interesting study to observe
how the digestion of food is accomplished
The greater part of vegetable food is
starch. and this is never digested IN the
stomach proper, nor is it effected by the
pepsin in the upper stomach.
Starch Ga carbohydrate is passed out
of the stomach into the duodenum or
second stomach, and there treated by
the panrceatic juices, when IN time a
| microscopic fungi is grown from a part
of the grain, if that has been eaten, and
| these elements with moisture, heat and
time transform the starch into grape
| sugar. which is the first act of diGes-
ton.
The processes are duplicated in an ar
tificial or mechanical way in the manu-
| facture of Grape-Nuts, the new breakfast
| food, made by the Postum Cereal COM
pany, Limited. of Battle Creek, Mich.
In this food one finds the delicate,
sweet taste of grape-sugar, and when
eaten it will be found to quickly digest
and fatten, and strengthen the entire
body.
It's especial mission is to nourish and
| rebuild the brain and nerve c%enters.
A certain definite feeling of strength
and stamina comes to the individual
after a few days use of Grape-Nuts at
breakfast.
Being a condensed food, one does not
REQUIRE more than 8 to 5 te~aspoonfuls al
a meal, which is worth considering from
an economical standpoint.
