GRAPE-NUTS.
DEMAND FACTS
About What You Eat.


When it comes 10 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 or
ats contents and condition. Some naked
breakfast foods that have thus far fail
ed are now being advertised in close
imitation of the Grape-Nuts advertls-
ing, thinking in that way TO finally
make q success Of the failure,
But false statements of the merits of
human food will never on earth build
.up d business. These faxed foods are
not pre-digested. They are not fully
cooked and the starch in them is starch
stiII 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-
tiOn. Why is this trueR 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.
Contrasted with this pretense. OBJ
serve the care, method and skill in
making Grape-Nuts.
The barley is soaked about one hum
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

Just the ingredients demanded by ma
ture to rebuild the soft gray substance
in the nerve centers and brain, but how

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
for a temporary expedient, but pure
food and digestible food is the only
final resort and safe way So to

prepare the other elements in this
blended -four it is made up into massive
lOaves like bread. the inside being dark

touch. These loaves are sliced and again

Of pure deXtrose sugar, not put on "or
poured over" (as 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 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-Auts from the grain to the
finished product The proportions of
different kinds of -four and the temper
atures are not disclosed. and it seems
impossible for others TO steal these Sc
crets OF the makers. But purity, clean
illness and skill are shown in every
corner of the immense pure food facto-
ries. People who care for results from
choicely selected food, those who want
the food TO rebuild the soft gray sub
stance in the brain and nerves that
give the go, the vigor, the life, will un-
derstand why the imitators who try to
copy the announcements about Grape
Nuts have failed in the past.
There's a reaFon for Grape-Nuts ana
q profound one.
