the bottom Of the dish Then this milk
charged with Post Sugar is fed to the
infants. producing the most satisfactory
results. for the baby has food that it
can digest quickly and will go or to
sleep well fed and contented.
When baby gets two or three months
old 1t Is the custom Of some mothers to
allow Grape-Nuts to soak in the milk
little longer and become mushy,
whereupon little of the food can bs
fed In addition to the milk containing
the washed or sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
baby food, but these facts are stated
as an illustration OF perfectly digest
ible food
1t furnishes the energy and strength

mon use by physicians in their own
families and among their patients. and
can be seen on the table of every first
class college in the land
We quote from the London Lancet
analysis as follows:
The basis of nomenclature OF this
preparation is evidently an American
pleasantry. since 'Grape-Nuts' is a.
rived solely from cereals The prepar-
atory process undoubtedly converts tho
Iood constituents into a much more di-
gestible condition than in the raw
cereal This is evident from the re-
markable solubility of the preparation.
no less than ons-haIf of ID being soluble
in cold water. The soluble part con-
tains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In
appearance Grape-Nuts' resembles

brown and crisp. with a pleasant taste
not unlike slightly burnt malt. Ac-
cording to our analysis the following
Is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts':
Moisture, 6.O2 per cent; mineral mat
ter, 2.O1 per cent; fat, 1.6O per cent:
proteids, 10 per cent; soluble carbohy-
drates, etc, 1910 per cent; and unal-
tered carbohydrates (insolubIe). 25e7
per cent. The features worthy of note
in this analysis are the excellent pro-
portion OF proteid, mineral matters and
soluble carbohydrates per cent. The
mineral matter was rich in phosphoric
acid 'Grape-Nuts' is described as
brain and nerve food, whatever that
may be. Our analysis, at any rate.
shows that 1t is nutritive Of high
order. since it contains the constituents
of a complete food in very satisfactory
assimilable state"
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nnts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained in
ordinary cereals and foods and nearly
twice the amount contained in any
other food analysed
The analysis Is familiar TO practically
every successful physician In America
and London.
We print this statement in order that
the public may know the exact facts.

will back 1T with any amount OF money
that any person or corporation will put

We promise to follow some OF these
choice specimens Of the tribe OF
Ananias.
When you hear a cooking school
teacher or any other person assert that
either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made
of any other ingredients than those
printed on the packages and as we say

enough to get a judgment we will right
that wrong quickly.
Our business has always been con-
Quoted on as high a grade Of human in
telligence as we are capable of. and we
propose to clear the deck of these pre-
varicators and liars whenever and
wherever they can be found.
Attention is again called to the gen.
eral and broad invitation to visitors to
go through our works. where they will
be shown the most minute process and
device in order that they may UNDER

some Grape-Nuts and Postum are
There is an old saying among busi-
ness men that there is some chance to
train a fool. but there is no room for a
liar, for you never can tell where you
are, and we hereby serve notice on all
the members of this ancient tribe OF
Ananias that they may follow their
calling in other lines, but when they
put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts
and Postum. we propose to give them
an opportunity to answer to the proper
authorities
The New York girl wisely said that
If a person would lie about one item,
it brands the whole discourse as abso-
lutely unreliable
Keep your iron ready and brand these
mavericks whenever you find them
running loose.
