DOCTORS FOOD TALK Selection of Food One of the Most Important Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: "Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal control that the proper selection of food should be. and is one of the most i'm portant acts in life.
 "On this subject. I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility. and more powerful in point of nutri- ment. than the modern Grape Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which Is sufficient for the cereal part of a meal and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another.
 "T am convinced that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life. add to the sum to- tai of happiness and very considera- bly improve society in general I am free to mention the food. for I per sonally know of its value"
 Grape-Nut food can be used by babes in arms. or adults. It is ready cooked. can be served instantly. eith- CT cold with cream. or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of buildings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape Nuts The food is concentrated and very economical. for four heaping teaspoons are sufficient for the cereal part of a meal.
