COOL BODIES
Made by Appetizinx Food.

You can feel as fit as a Lord In hot
weather if you eat sensibly. If you
aren't entirely happy in hot weather
suppose you quit your way and try
ours.
Take a cold sponge bath, dress 1eis-
urely and sit down to a breakfast of
Grape-Nuts and cream, a little fruit
and cup of Postum Food Coffee.
Don't fear; you won't starve; on the
contrary. that "Lordly feeling will take
possession of you by lunch time.
Grape-Nuts is a concentrated food
and contains as much nourishment as
bulky body heating food like meat, po-
tatoes etc. Its crisp daintiness will APP
peal to your palate, and the result is
a very marked difference in the tenn
perature of the body and the certainty
of ease and perfect digestion.
Quit coffee; it unnaturally stimulates
the brain and nerves, heating the body
and causing an uneven temper; use
Postum Food Coffee. has a charming
flavor when properly made and does
not affect the nervous system, but as
sists the brain to work with ease ans
clearness.
Experience and experin emit in food
and it's application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They can
be made use of and add materially to
the comfort of the user during the hot
weather.
