Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically

fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an in
stants notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk II a hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used. a little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar. which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think,
but exudes from the granules In the
process Of manufacture. when the
starch Of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
OF manufacture. This. in effect, is the
first act Of digestion; therefore. Grape
