A gentleman who has acquired a
Judicial turn Of mind from expert
ence on the bench out in the SunHower

opinion as to the value OF Grape Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past ) years Grape-Nuts

The crisp food with the delicious
nutty favor has become an indispensa-
DIE necessity in my family's everyday

and beneficial. and has enabled US to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table. for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unvholesome food.
