OIL AND GOLD MINES
visitors speak of the Food USED

Visitors Speak of the Food Used.
Major Desborough, writing from
Fresno, Calf, says: Il found Grape
Nuts food As miles in the mountains
In an old oil camp, where the whole
crowd, 10 men, eat it for breakfast
every day and every Sunday have it in
a pudding for dinner"
General z. G.. Machen, an old Con-
federate soldier, has just returned from
an extended trip through the South
west and along the Mexican border, in
vestigating mining properties. He
says: mo matter where | travelled, l
always found it possible to get Grape
Nuts and Postum Food Coffee of which
l am very fond"
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is es-
pecially valued by campers and IRON
tier people, as it is already cooked and
ready for instant service, and being
concentrated, furnishes unusual
strength and nourishment, in a small
quantity. 1t is believed that a man
can travel farther and exercise more
continuously, on a few teaspoons OF
Grape-Nuts than on like quantity Of
any other food known.
The reason for this is that there are
selected elements in Grape-Nts that
finish direct to the brain and nerve
centers, the necessary particles to re-
build the delicate gray matter con-
tanned in these parts, therefore a man
continuously fed ON Grape-Nuts is alb
solutely certain of a good condition of
the nerves system, which is really the
controller OF the entire body.
