FOOD ECONOMY
Bulk
vs..
Concentration.
Grape-NutS.
Discussed Below.
Discussed Below.

The question of obtaining a high
grade food at a moderate price, is Of
interest to every housekoeper and pro-
wider
Some food is so bulky that even at a
very low price per pound. the actual
food value IS so little that 1t is really
extensive: on the other hand. there are
concentrated foods. like. for instance, the
famous breakfast food known as Grape
Nuts" that sell az Is cents per pound. but
weld in food units so much value that
hut little of the food should be used at a
time. and in reality. when properly used,
the expense is about one cent per meal.
II is a common mistake 10 use too
much of the food Grapc-Nuis Its taste
is crisp with the delicate sweet flavor
of grape sugar. and one is inclined to
eat double the proper quantity. A lady
writes from indianapolis Mrs. A. l..
wilson: 1--WE have been using your
Grape-Nuts now for two or three weeks
cannot tell you how much / ind II
has benefited me Ny husband IS 81
nhvsician and he not only uses 1t al
each meal. but likes St az bedtime"
rsine the food in this way some
families might be impressed with the
cost but after all. good food, which
keeps the family IN prime condi' lon Of
health. az a moderate cost, is very
much more profitable. 50 far as dollars
ana cents are concerned than 20 make
use OF low-grade bulky foods and from
time TO time call Ia physician to help
cut
The use Of Grape Nuts IN reason
able quantity costs one cent per meal
and the food stands without an equal
IN point OF nutrition and value in build
Ing up the nerve centres and tissue OF the
body. The crisp delicate, sweet taste
comes from the grape sugar which Is
produced by Transformation OF the
starch o. The cere1's and this Crane
sugar Is pfe-enied 70 the system, ready
for immediate assimilation. Grape-Nuls
are SOLD by all frst-class grocers and
made by the Postum Co. at their facto-
ries In Battle Creek. Michigan.
