DEMAND FACTS.
About What You Eat.

When it comes to 1000, deHlaHu "
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 have thus fal
failed, are now being advertised IN
close imitation of the Grape-Nuts ad-
vertising, thinking in that way &c
finally make success Of the failure
But false statements of the merits
of human food will never on earth
build up a business. These faxed 1ooas
are not predigested. They are not full
ly 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 chem
lists of the world show Grape Nuts the
only prepared breakfast food in which
the starch part of the wheat and bar
lev has been transformed into sugar
and therefore ready for immediate dl-
gestion. Why is this true? All the
thin rolled flake foods are made by
soaking the grains of wheat or oats
in water, then rolling, drying ana
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 of it,. then the grains are baked
and 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 skillfully made In
right proportions. This blended flour
contains just the ingredients demand
ed 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.
1t certainly would not do to mix in
drugs, for there is certain failure
sure to come to the person depending
on drugs to digest food. They may
do for 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 it is made up into mas
sive loaves like bread, the inside be-
ing dark cream color, and quite sticky
to the touch These loaves are slic-
ed and again go thru long cooking at
certain temperatures. Then the rock
hard slices are each one carefully in
spected and ground ready for packing
and use, having gone thru 10 or IL
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 "or poured over Gas the head
Of a 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 sug-
ar in 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
-digested and ready to go quickly
into the blood.
Visitors are shown freely thru the
works and can follow the steps of
making Grape-Nuts from the grain to
the finished product. The proportions
Of different kinds Of -four, and the
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to steal
these secrets Of the makers. But pur-
ity. 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 imita-
tors who try to copy the announce
ments about Grape-Nuts have failed
in the past.
There's reason for Grape-Nuts
and a profound one. !.
