X.Cel.0, the New Breakfast Food, q
Winner.

W kQ4Vks
The new breakfast food, X.Cel.O.
manufactured by the National Cereal
Co., OF which Charles Kubach is presi-
dent, is making great strides in pop
u!arity. The factory just completed
at Battle Creek at q cost Of $S1, 900
has a capacity Of 1000 cases a day
and is equipped with fine lot Of
specially devised machinery for the
new process for manufacturing the
food.
People find this, food preferable to
lake foods in many ways, it being
equally we'll cooked, afterwards
faxed and thoroughly ground and
baked again, thus thoroughly dex.
trinizing the starch and rendering
the food in q predigested state, max
ing it easy digestible in its granulat-
ed form. People are not going to eat
the same thing all the time, they
must have a change, and Keel. 0 is
proving just what they want Deal.
ers who handle this food say it is de-
cidedly the best food on the market.
Hundreds OF Abilene families are
using X.Cel.O and the verdict is uni
formly favorable to it. Iiyou have
not tried it, do 80.
