TWO STOMACHS.
The Upper For the Proteids and the
Lower For the Greater Part
of the Food.

It IS an interesting study to observe
how the digestion of food is accomplish
ed 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 "a Carbo-h ydrate) is passed
out Of the stomach into the duodenum
OF second stomach and there treated by
the pancreatic juices. when in time a
microscopic fungi is grown from a part
or 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
artificial or mechanical way in the
manufacture of Grape-Nuts, the new
breakfast food made by the Postum
Cereal Co. Lin. 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
Its especial mission is to nourish and
rebuild the brain and nerve centers.
A certain definite feeling of strength
and stamina comes to the Individual

require more than 3 to teaspoonfuIs
