DEMAND FACTS. About What You Eat.

When it comes to food, demand to know the facts about what goes into your stomach.
 Not only that it is pure but that you are not deceived in the description of it's contents and condition. Some flak- ed breakfast foods that have thus far failed. are now being advertised in close imitation of the Grape Nuts ad- vertising. thinking in that way to fn- ally make a success of the failure.
 But false statements of the merits of human food will never on earth build up a business. These flaked foods are not pre- digested. They are not fully cooked and the starch in them is starch still and has not been turned to sugar as claimed
 Chemical analysis tells the truth and the analysis of the famous chemists of the world show Grape-Nuts the only prepared breakfast food in which the starch part of the wheat and barley has been transformed into sugar and therefore ready for immediate diges- ton. Why is this true? All the thin rolled flake foods are made by soaking the grains of wheat or oats in water. then rolling, drying and packing. These operations do not cook or pre-digest the starch.

 The barley is soaked about one hun dred hours, then it is slowly warmed for some days and sprOuted the dias- tase being developed and part of the starch turned to sugar, (and later on all of it), then the grains are baked and the sprouts stripped off. Then comes grinding, sitting and mixing with the creamy colored flour made from white and maccarOni wheat. This mix ture must be skillfully made in right proportions This blended flour con- tains just the ingredients demanded by nature to rebuild the soft gray sub stance in the nerve centers and brain, but how to make the food easy to di- gest, that was the question.
 It certainly would not do to mix in drugs. for there is a certain failure sure to come to the person depending on drugs to digest food. They may do for a temporary expedient, but pure food and digestible food is the only final re- sort and safe way. So to change the remaining starch part and prepare the other elements in this blended flour it is made up into massive loaves like bread, the inside being dark cream col or ard quite sticky to the touch. These loaves are sliced and again go through long cooking at certain temperatures. Then the rock hard slices are each one carefully inspected and ground ready for packing and use, having gone through 10 or 12 hours in the different operations.
 When finished, each little granule will show a sparkling substance on its surface. A magnifying glass will bring it out clearer and develop little pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not put on 'or poured over' Gas the head of large sanitarium once stated in his paper, thus exposing his appalling ignorance of food processes) but this sugar ex- udes from the interior of each as the starch is slowly turned to sugar in the process of manufacture. This kind of sugar is exactly like what is found in the human intestines, provided the starch of the grains, potatoes, bread, rice, cake, etc, etc, has been perfectly digested But many are weak in that form of digestion and yet need the starches. so GrapeNuts supplies them pre- -digested and ready to go quickly into the blood.
 Visitors are shown freely through the works and can follow the steps of mak- ing Grape-Nuts from the grain to the finished product. The proportions Of different kinds of flour, and the tenn peratures are not disclosed and It seems impossible for others to steal these secrets of the makers. But pur- ity. cleanliness and skill are shown Tn every corner of the immense pure food factories. People who care for results from choicely selected food, those who want the food to rebuild the soft gray substance in brain and nerves that give the go, the vigor, the life, will under stand why the imitators who try to i copy the announcements about Grape Nuts have failed in the past.
 There's a reason for Grape-Nuts and | a profound one.
