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 1t is pure but that you
are not deceived in the description of it's
contents and condition. Some faxed
breakfast foods that have thus far
failed, are now being advertised in close
imitation of the Grape-Nuts advertis-
ing. thinking in that way to finally
make a success Of the failure.
But false statements Of the merits of
human food will never on earth build
up business. These faxed 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 there
fore ready for imm ediate digestion.
Why is this true? All the thin rolled
flake foods are made by soaking the
grains of wheat or oats ir water. then
rolling. drying and packing. These
operations do not cook or pre-digest the
starch.
COntrasted with this rretense, observe
the care, method and skill in making
Grape Nuts.
The barley is soaked about one hun
dred hours. then it is slowly warmed for
some days and sprouted, the diastase
being developed and part OF the starch
turned to sugar. (and later on all of iD.
then the grains are baked and the
sprouts stripped OF. Then comes
grinding. sitting and mixing with the
creamy cOlored flour made from white
and maccaroni wheat. This mixture
must be skilfully made in right proper
tiOns. This blended -four contains just
the ingredients demanded by nature to
rebuild the soft gray substance in the
nerve centres and brain, but how to
make the food easy to digest, that was
the question.
1t 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 f. r
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
ether elements in this blended flour 1t
Is made up into massive lOaveS like
bread. the inside being dark cream
color and quite sticky to the touch.
These lOaves are sliced and again go
through long cooking at certain tenn
peratures. Then the rOckhard slices
are each one carefully inspected and
ground ready for packing and use. hav-
ing gone through 10 or IL hours in the
different operations.
When finished each little granule
will show a sparkling substance on its
surface. A inagEifying 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
exudes 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 Grape Nuts 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 max
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 purity
cleanliness and skill are shown in
every corner of the immense pure fool
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
COPY the announcements about Grape
Nuts have failed in the past.
There's reason for Grape Nuts and
a profound one.
