A UNIVERSAL FOOD

and milk.
"This is an ideal food. and evidently
furnishes the elements necessary for a
baby as we'll as for adults. We have
used Grape Nuts In large quantities
and greatly to our advantage"
Ono advantage about Grape-Nuts
Food is that it is pre-digested in tho
process of manufactures; thai is. tho
starch contained in tho wheat and
barley is transformed into grape
sugar by exactly the same method as
THIS process Is carried out In the
human body. that is, by the uso OF
moisture and long exposure to mod
crate warmth, which grows the dias-
tase in the grains and makes the re-
marlsable change from starch to
grape sugar
Therefore, the most delicate stom-
nch can handle Grape-Nuts, and the
food is quickly absorbed into the
blood and tissue. certain parts of It
going directly to building and nour-
fishing the brain and nerve centres.
