EASY FOOD
Eeady For Instant Use Without Cook.
-, ing.

Almost everyone likes cereal food
OF some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in pasty mass that is
ard to digest, and il not properly
digested, the raw mass goes down
into the intestinal tract where gas is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows, that good food
properly digested keeps the body
we'll, while poor food, or even food OF
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind Of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some IL to 16 hours be-
ing consumed in the different pro-
cesses CT preparation. The food.
therefore, is ready for instant SER
vice and the starch has been changed
to form of Sugar, so that it is pre-
digested and ready for almost imme-
:. diate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges-
tion and dyspepsia from the use Of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts, and l
confess to having had a prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
/ finally decided to try the food, but
have Tot known what indigestion is
oince using it, and have never been
stronger or in better health. have

without cost, If they will adopt scien-
tific food and leave on the indigesti-
Bile sort. There's a Reason"
Graps-Nuts Food is crisp and de-
llcions to the taste. 1t should be
served exactly as it comes from the
