Feed Your

USE
GRAPE NUTS.
HOW GRAPE NUTS FOOD is
CONSTRUCTED.

Grape-Nuts food is made by taking
the portions of Barley and Wheat con
tanning the nutritive elements, SUBJ
jecting the different parts to different
forms of treatment, and finally blending
them in proper proportions.
When ready for the market it is in
the form of small granules from the
size of pin head to two or three times
that size. These pieces glisten when
held to the light showing the grape
sugar crystalized and deposited on each
granule. This grape sugar is one of
the most nutritive articles of food
known, and is produced and evolved
from the starchy part of the grains while
in process of manufacture.
No Cane or Beet Sugar is used in
making Glape-Nuts.
The flavor is very delicate sweet,
and the food itself is crisp and deli
cious.
Teing fully cooked at the factory, no
preparation is required. but it is ready
to be served instantly, with little
cream or milk, either hot or cold.
A marked increase in mental strength
is found after 10 days use of Grape
Nuts.
The food contains elements which
nature uses to rebuild the cellular
tissue of the brain.
a II first class grocers sell Grape Nuts
at 10 cents per package.

Growth Of Our Commerce.

All signs indicate that in few years
more the United States will again en-
gage largely in ocean transportation.
The most important condition which
will enable us to do this Is the fact that
we now produce steel so cheaply that
we can compete with foreign shipbuild-
ers in making steamships.
On the Atlantic ocean our steamships
have to compete with the fastest sub
sidized vessels afoat On the Pacific
ocean, where American steamships for
merly carried nearly all the trade b.
tween our Pacific ports and China, ia.
pan, Hawaii and Australasia, we nos
have the competition of the heavily
subsidized Vancouver lines and the new
but already successful Japanese steam.
