Your Thinker a ThoughHa

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-
tematic course of investigation to dis
cover what kind of elements the body
would take up from the vegeta BILE king
dom out of which to make gray matter
in the brain and nerve centres 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 were proven beyond
doubt the food was put on the market
under the name of Grape-Nuts. Then
followed public announcement in the
newspapers and magazines that such
food was in existence and that it would
perform its intended work
People all over the world realized the
need of such a 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, chop
ped 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,
chinaware, 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 a food for special service have a
right to expect an equitable return for
that money.
Investigation proves that in practical
ly all cases where limitations are put
upon the market. the men who place
them are unframed and have no knowl-
edge 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 profess
sional ability to originate valuable ar
ticles themselves. but must get under
the caves of some originator.
Up to the present time no prepared

chemical treatment. IN these processes
the Starchy elements are slowly trans
formed into sugar now known as Post

TO the blood without taxing the digestive
organs. BY the blood the elements
which Nature uses for rebuilding 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 muscles and tissues and
there deposited and held in readiness for
use when energy and warmth are de-
manded Remember that simply raising
the arm requires the expenditure and
! giving off of warmth and energy. Now
| then must have the elements that
supply warmth and energy deposited in
these tissues and muscles else we can
not release them and make use of them.
| These are the missions of Grape-Nuts,
and the person who desires to make use
! of the proper rebuilder of brain ana
nerve centres. and keep them in first

of supply of warmth and energy, can
absolutely rely upon securing this SER
vice if they feed regularly on Grape

There's reason and a profound one
