When baby gets two or three months
old it is the custom of some mothers to
allow the Grape-NutS to soak in the
milk little longer and become mushy,
whereupon little of the food can be
fed in addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugar.
1t is by no means manufactured for
baby food, but these facts are stated as
an illustration of a perfectly digestbls

We quote from the London Lance
analysis as follows:
"The basis of nomenclature of this
preparation is evidently an American \
pleasantly, since 'Grape-Nuts' Is de. E
rived solely from cereals. The prepare.

markable soIubility of the preparation.
no less than one-half of 1t being soluble
in cold water. The soluble part CON
tains chiefly deXtrin and no starch. In
appearance 'Grape-Nuts' resembles
fried hread-crumbs. The grains are
brown and crisp, with Il pleasant taste
not unlike slightly burnt malt. Accord
ing to our analysis the following is the
composition of 'Grape-Nuts:' Moist
ure, G.O2 per cent; mineral matter, POI
per cent; fat, 1.G0 per cent; proteids,
1900 per cent; soluble carbohydrates,
etc, 1910 per cent; and unaltered
carbohydrates Gnsoluble) 2507 per
cent. The features worthy of note in
this analysis are the excellent propor-I
ton of prOteid, mineral matters, ana
soluble carbohydrates per cent. TleV
mineral matter was rich in phosphorlc|
acid. 'GrApe-Nuts' is described as al
brain and nerve food. whatever that
may be- Our analysis, at any rate,
shows that it is a nutritive of high
order, since it contains the constituents
of complete food in very satisfactory
and rich proportion and in an easily as
similable state"
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained In or.
binary 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
upon which we stake our honor and
will back it with any amount of money
that any person or corporation will
put up.
We propose to follow some of theR
choice specimens of the tribe of ana
MAS.
When you hear a cooking school
teacher or any other person assert thaI
either Postum or Grape-Nuts are mace
of any other ingredients than those
printed on the packages and as we
say they are made, send us the name
and address, also name of two or three
witnesses, and if the evidence is clear
enough to get Judgment we will right
that wrong quickly.
Our business has always been con-
Quoted on as high grade Of human In
teligence 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
! stand how pure and clean and whole
some Grape-Nuts and Postum are.
There is an old saying among busl'
ness men that there is some chance to
, train fool but there is no room for
liar, for you never can tell where you
, are, and we hereby serve notice on all
, the members of this ancient tribe OF
, Ananas that they may follow their
. calling in other lines, but when they
, put forth their lies about Grape-Nub
and Postum, we propose to give them
an opportunity to answer to the proper
= authorities.
