the kind of food element the body must
have to supply the daily loss from
brain work. Bacon. meat, potatoes.
white bread and coffee absolutely will
not keep a hard brain worker well. A
food expert perfected perfect food for
brain workers.
Not only in the schools but in the
home should the food be looked after.

ready to be quickly absorbed into the
blood and tissue without taxing the
| intestinal digestive machinery. The
phosphate of potash found in the
cereals is retained. and this with al
bumen. supplies the elements required
to build the gray matter in brain and
| nerve centers.
