Your Thinker a Thought

Funny things happen in this world
and now and then some of them make
one an interested observer, for instance !:
several years ago man pursued sys-
tenatic course of investigation to dis
cover what kind of elements the body
would take up from the vegetable king
dom out of which to make gray matter
in the brain and nerve centers through
out the body; also how to prepare this
food so that it would be easily digested
and allow Nature to make use OF these
elements. So far the proposition was
all right Question-How to bring all
this about?
1t took over two years work to solve
the problem successfully After it was
solved the food was given to many peo-
pie and the result watched carefully.
When all results we're proven beyond
doubt the food was put on the market
under the name of Grape-Nuts. Then
followed public announcement in thte
newspapers and magazines that such a
food was in existence and that 1t would
perform its Intended work.
People all over the world realized the
need of such food and began purchas-
ing it literally. 1t attracted so much
attention that long list of imitators
sprung up all over the country. They
boiled wheat roasted it, stewed it.
chopped it, mixed it with rye, mat,
oats, and perhaps hay--we are not sure
gave it a fantastic name and told the
public 1t was Brain food"
Then, from these imitators, came the
offering of spoons, knitting needles,
chinaware, pictures, doll babies and evel
pianos to induce people to gorge them
selves with the various and sundry
things.
Fortunately the most of these imita-
ton foods are harmless and decently
clean so that no real harm is done ex-
cept that people who pay out money to
secure a food for special service have a
right to expect an equitable return fer
that money.
Investigation proves that in practi-
cally all cases where limitations are put
on the market, the men who place them
are unframed and have no knowledge
of the real scientific basis of food MAX
ing. II they did have. they would pro-
duce original articles. The very fact
that they make limitations is prima facie
evidence that they have no professional
ability to originate valuable articles
themselves, but must get under the
caves of some originator.
Up to the present time no prepared
food has appeared, to the knowledge of
the writer, that is made upon the solid,
fundamental, scientific basis of Grape
Nuts.
In this celebrate food the right parts
of the wheat and barley are selected
they pass through various and sundry
mechanical processes absolutely no
chemical trcatmenD. In these process IS
the starchy element is slowly trans
formed into sugar now known as Post
Sugar. In this form 1t is ready for i'm
mediate assimilation and transmission
to the blood without taxing the diges-
tive organs. By the blood, the elements
which Nature uses for rebuilding the
soft gray matter in the brain and nerve
csnters arc carried to the respective
parts and there made use of, while
other elements known as carbohydrates
are carried to the muscles and tissues
and there deposited and held in readf-
ness for use when energy and warmth
are demanded. Remember that simply
raising the arm requires the expendi-
ture and giving off of warmth and en-
ergy. Now then we must have the ele-
ments that supply warmth and energy
deposited in these tissues and muscles
use of them. These are the missions Of
Ora pe-Nuts. and the person who desires
to make use Of the proper rebuilder Of
brain and nerve centers, and keep them
In first-class working order, and also
make use OF a supply Of warmth and
energy. can absolutely rely upon secur-
ing this service II they feed regularly
on Grape Nuts.
These are incontrovertable facts dem

thousands Of Anglo Saxons to-day.
There's a reason and a profound one
