and now and then some of them make
one an interested observer, for in
stance: several years ago man pur-
sued a systematic course of inVestiga-
ton to discover what kinds of elements
the body would take up from the vege-
table kingdom out of which to make
gray matter in the brain and nerve
centres throughout 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. Cues
tion-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 were proven beyond
doubt the food was put on the market
under the name of Grape-Nuts. Then
followed public announcements in the
newspapers and magazines that such a
food was in existence and that 1t would
perform it's intended work.
People all over the world realized the
need of such a food and began pur-
chasing it literally. 1t attracted so
much attention that long list of imi-
tators sprung up all over the country.
They boiled wheat roasted it,, stewed
it, chopped it, mixed it with rye. malt,
oats, and perhaps hay-we are not sure
gave it a fantastic name and told the
public it was a brain food
Then, from these imitators, came the
Offering of spoons, knitting needles, Chi
navarro, pictures doll babies and even
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 food for special service have a
right to expect an equitable return for
that money.
Investigation proves that in practi-
cally all cases where limitations are put
upon the market, the men who place
them are unframed and have no know
ledge of the real scientific basis Of food
making. If they did have, they would
produce original articles. The very
fact that they make limitations is prima
facie evidence that they have no pro-
fessional 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

lected they pass through various and
sundry mechanical processes (abso-

processes the starchy elements are
slowly transformed into a sugar now
known as Post Sugar. In this form it

the elements which Nature uses for re-
building the soft gray matter in the
brain and nerve centres are carried to
the respective parts and there made
use of, while other elements known as
carbohydrates are carried to the mus
cles and tissues and there deposited
and held in readiness for use when en-
ergy and warmth are demanded. Re-
member that simply raising the arm
requires, the expenditure and giving off
of warmth and energy. Now then we
must have the elements that supply
warmth and energy deposited in these
tissues and muscles else we cannot re-
lease them and make use of them.
These are the missions of Grape Nuts,
ana the person who desires to make
use of the proper rebuilder of brain
ana nerve centres. and keep them in
first-class working order and also make
use of a supply of warmth and energy,
can absolutely rely upon securing this
service If they feed regularly on
Grape Nuts.
These are incontrovertable facts
demonstrated by actual use by hun
dreds of thousands of Anglo Saxons to-
day.
There's reason and profound one
Tor the use of Grape-Nuts. The food

can be served instantly with rich cream.
1t IS delicious and can be made into
great variety of toothsome dishes af-

very small but "meaty' little book in
