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 a man pusued a systematic
course of investigation to discover what
kind of elements the body would take
up from the vegetable kindom 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 Ma
ture 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 IN
der the name of Grape-Nuts Then fol
lowed public announcement in the news
papers and magazines that such food
was in existence and that it would per;
form its intended work
People all over the world realized the
need of such food and began purchasing
it literally. It attracted so much atten-
ton that long list of imitators 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 fantastic
name and told the public it was Brain
food
Then, from these imitators, came the of
fering of spoons, knitting needles, china
ware, pictures, doll babies and even
pianos to induce people TO gorge them
selves with the various and sundry
things.
Fortunately the most of these imitation
foods are harmless and decently clean so
that no real harm is done except that
people who pay out money to secure a
food for special service have right to
expect an equitable return for that
money
Investigation proves that in practically
all cases where limitations are put upon
the market the men who place them are
unframed and have no knowledge of the
real scientific basis of food making. If
they dil have, they would produce origin |
al articles The very fact that they make |
limitations is prima facie evidence that
they have no professional ability to or
iginate valuable articles themselves, but |
must get under the caves of some origina-
tor.
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 celebrated food the right parts
of the wheat and barley are selected, they
pass through various and sundry me-
chanical processes absolutely no chemical
treatmenD. In these processes the starchy |
elements are slowly Transformed into a
sugar now known as Postum Sugar. In
this form it is ready for immediate as
similation and transmission to the blood /
without taxing the digestive organs BY |
the blood, the elementseawhich 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 emergency and
warmth are demanded Remember that
simply raising the arm requires the ex-
penditure and giving off Of warmth and
energy. NOW CHen we must nave the ele-
ments that supply warmth and energy
deposited in these tissues and muscles else
we cannot release them and make use of
them. These are the missions of Crap
Nuts, and the person who desires to make
use of the proper rebuilder of brain and
nerve centres, land keep them in first
class working order, and also make use
of supply of warmth and energy, can
absolutely rely upon securing this service
if they feed regularly on Grape-Nuts.
These are .ircontrovertable facts de-
monstrated by actual use by hundreds
of thousands of Anglo-saxons today.
There's reason and a profound one
for the use of Grape Nuts. The food is
already cooked at the factory and can be
served instantly with rich cream. 1t isl
delicious and can be made into a great
variety of toothsome dishes after the re-
cipes found in the recipe book enclosed in
each package
Attention is also invited to another
very small but "meaty'' little book in
each package under the title THE Road
to Wellvlle.'
Grape Nuts food is made at the Pure
Food Factory of the Postum Cereal Co, |
Ltd, and sold all over the world.
