DEMAND FACTS.
Abou. 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
faxed breakfast foods that have thus
far failed, are now being advertised
in close imitation of the Grape-Nuts
advertising, 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 Gained.
Chemical analysis tells the truth and
the analysis of the famous chemists
of the world show GraDe-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 imme-
date digestion. Why is this true? All
the thin rolled fake foods are made
by soaking the grains of what or oats
in water, then rolling, drying and
packing These operations do not
cook or pre-digest the starch.
Contrasted with this pretense, OBJ
making GraDe-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 eli Of it@, then the grains are
baked and the sprouts stripped off.
Then comes grinding, sitting and mix
ing with the creamy colored flour
made from white and maccaronl
wheat This mixture must be skilful-
ly made in right proportions. This
blended flour contains just the ingre-
dients demanded by nature to re
build 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 de 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 resort and safe way. So to
change the remaining starch part and
prepare the other elements in this
blended flour il is made uD into mas
sive loaves like bread, the inside be-
ing dark cream color and quite sticky
to the touch. These Ioaves are sliced
and again go through long cooking
at certain temperatures. Thenk the
rock-hard slices are each one carefully
inspected and ground ready for pack
ing and use, having gone through 10
or Il hours in the different operations.
When finished, each little granule
will show a sparkling substance on It's
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
a large Sanitarium once stated in his
paper, thus exposing his appalling ig-
norance of food DroceSSeS) 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, pro-
vided the starch of the grains, pota-
toes, 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
making Grape-Nuts from the grain to
the finished product. The proportions
of different kinds of flour. and the
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to stea
these secrets of the makers But
purity. cleanliness and skill are shown
in 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 understand why the imitators
who try to copy the announcements
about Crane Nuts have failed in the
past.
There's a reason for Grape-Nuts and
a profound one.
