is II ANY WONDER
That Malta Vita Melts in Your Mouth
and Satisfies as No Other Food Can?

ana STATISTICS 40 NV ~A"o' WV 49,
DO you know why Malta-Vita IS sc
delicious, so crisp. so sweet? Do you
know why it is the most satisfying and
healthful food In the world?
Because
Malta-vita Is made from the best
white wheat,
Before the process Of manufacture
begins. the wheat Is cleaned and scour-
ed and the dust and refuse are drawn
out OF the big factory by suction,
leaving 1t as fresh and pure as your
own kitchen.
The grain IL thoroughly cooked In
water and steam and matured IN
fresh, pure air. BY this time the starch
IN the wheat has been gelatinized, or
In other words has lost all its indi-
gestible characteristics.
Now the wheat Is mixed with the
highest quality Of malt extract and
this malt extract. a most active diges-
tive agent, converts. the gelatinized
starch into malt sugar.
You understand, of course, that
malt sugar (maltose) in which Malta
Vita is always so rich, Is Of wonder
full food value, very strengthening and
easily digested. 1t makes the diges-
ton OF the crisp faxed wheat an easy
task, too, even for the weakest stom-
ach.
Malta-vita is. baked under such In
tense heat that when 1t comes out OF
Che ovens, it's crisp brown flakes de-
licious beyond description. 1t contains
only little more than one per cent
of moisture.
Do you wonder now why 1t melts
IN your mouth?
And here Is another thought.
s Thruout the entire process Of manu-
failure Malta-Vita Is practically UNI
touched by human hands. Machinery
clean. shining machinery-conveys II
thru all the changes, even to the flll-
ing and sealing Of the air-tight, mois-
ture proof packages,
Maita-Vita Is the perfect food for
Old and young. weak and strong. For
the run down or overworked digestive
organs 1t Is a God-send. It makes red
blood, refreshes the brain and the
nerves, builds up bone and muscle. 1t
IL 30 satisfying and healthful that no
home should be without 1t.
Malta-Vita Is 10 cents ut all groc-
ers same high quality, same big
package as when It sold for 16c.
