ON A RANCH.
Woman Found the Food That Fitted

A newspaper woman went out to a
Colorado ranch to rest and recuperate
and her experience with the food
probably is worth recounting.
"The woman at the ranch was pre-

go through the pantry and see what ]

came across package of Grape-Nuts
which | had heard Of but never tried.
I read the description on the package
and become deeply interested, so then
and there | got a saucer and some
cream and tried the famous food.
III tasted delicious to me and
seemed TO freshen and strengthen me
greatly SO stipulated that Grape
Nuts and cream be provided each day
instead of other food. and | literally
lived on Grape-Nuts and cream for
two or three months.
"If you could have seen how fast
