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 its
contents and condition. Some faxed
breakfast foods that have thus far fail
ed, 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 a 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
therefore ready for immediate digestion.
Why is this true? All the thin rolled
fake foods are made by soaking the
grains of wheat or oats in water, then
rolling, drying and packing. These op-
erations do not cook or pre-digest the
starch
Contrasted with this pretense, 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 dias-
tase being developed and part OF the
starch turned to sugar, (and later on all

the sprouts stripped off. Then comes
grinding, Sitting and mixing with the
/ creamy cOlored -four made from white
and maccarOni wheat This mixture
must be slzilfulIy made in right proper
tons. This blended flour contains just
the ingredients demanded by nature to
rebuild the soft gray substance in the
nerve centers and brain, but how to
make the food easy to digest, 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 digesuble food is the only finSl 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
/ color and quite sticky to the touch.
These loaves are sliced and again go
/ through long cooking at certain temper
atures Then the rock-hard slices are
! each one carefully inspected and ground
ready for Pc cking and use, having gone
/ through 10 or u 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 cor
/ poured over (as the head of a large
Sanitaril1rn once stated in his paper
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 hui
man 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 di-
gestion and vet %aed the starches, so
4 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 Hour, 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 ev-
0 cry 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 20, the vigor, the life, viii under

: Nuts have failed in the past
There's a reason for GraDe-Nuts and
